Another week, another whirlwind of totally EXTRA events! We were here, there and everywhere!
We were on the scene and vibing like a boss! Just check out our social diary for this past week (don't be jelly!):
Manchester United Roar With Tiger Beer @ The Trafford Den
Kuala Lumpur transcended its status as a city for a week as it developed into a meeting place for aspirations and a living monument to ardour, pride, and steadfast devotion. The Trafford Den, a daring reimagining of what it means to be a Manchester United supporter in Malaysia, was made possible by Tiger Beer, the team's Official Beer Partner.
The Trafford Den, located in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, was more than just a pop-up bar; it was the realisation of the Theatre of Dreams. It is a statement that Manchester United and its devoted supporters in Malaysia are not constrained by distance.
Fans – Hype included – began flooding the venue on 24th May, taking in the sights and sounds of Old Trafford as it was brought to life in the centre of Kuala Lumpur. Stories filled the walls, jerseys were clad like armour, and cold Tiger Beer was poured in honour of something greater than a game: belief, identity, and belonging. Fans unleashed their tiger during this moment, and the spirit of audacity and passion was echoed in every cheer, roar, and shared Tiger Beer sip. Here's what went down at the event.

What happens when Barbie dolls, Hot Wheels, Thomas the Tank Engine, and more get together in Bukit Jalil? Well, just this Thursday, 29th May, was one such day as Mattel celebrated a vibrant, toy-filled adventure for the whole family. In honour of its 80th anniversary, Mattel transformed Pavilion Bukit Jalil into an immersive playground for All Play All Day — a school holiday event packed with interactive zones, nostalgic experiences, and exciting rewards that delighted both kids and adults alike.
We were invited to explore the action, and each themed zone had something special to offer. From striking poses at Barbie's 360° photo booth and chilling in her pink bubble pool, to racing Hot Wheels through fiery loops and hopping aboard a life-sized Thomas train, the experience was nonstop fun. Families also enjoyed classic games in jumbo size and joined weekend competitions for a chance to win Mattel goodies. With free admission until 8th June, All Play All Day is worth checking out if you're looking for a fun day out with the family. You may even get a sneak peek at some goodies while you're there.

Legoland Shanghai a key brick to building toy brand in China

Lego has continued to be the biggest player in the construction toys market for 'kidults' in the Chinese market. — Xinhua SHANGHAI: The Lego Group is viewing China as a high-potential market, as the toymaker gears up to open its much-anticipated Legoland Shanghai Resort on July 5. Julia Goldin, chief product and marketing officer at Lego, said during her recent trip to Shanghai: 'With more than 400 retail stores across over 100 Chinese cities, we're committed to expanding our presence with a portfolio of products tailored for Chinese consumers.' The senior executive visited the city to activate the World Play Day with key events in Shanghai, Berlin, Boston and London. The initiative aims to inspire children and families to reimagine urban spaces through the lens of play. Launched last Wednesday, World Play Day, which opened at the West Bund Dream Centre, will run through July 27. The campaign comes as new research commissioned by Lego showed a growing disconnect between urban development and child-friendly planning. Nearly a third of the world's children live in urban areas, and this is projected to rise to 70% by 2050. Yet, many of these children feel overlooked in city planning. The study, which surveyed 10,000 parents and 10,000 children aged 6 to 16 across the world, including Britain, the United States, France and Poland, found that urban centres are generally falling short in providing safe and inclusive spaces for play. 'Play should not be limited to homes and schools. It should extend into our streets, parks and public spaces,' said Goldin. The Shanghai event coincides with a broader push by the toymaker to widen its reach in China, particularly in the year when Legoland Shanghai Resort is scheduled to open next month. Covering 318,000 square metres in the city's Jinshan district, the resort, which is the world's largest Legoland, comprises a theme park and a hotel for children aged two to 12 and their families. It features more than 75 interactive rides, shows and attractions, as well as thousands of Lego models made with over 85 million Lego bricks across eight immersive 'lands'. Goldin said that, in addition to the resort, locally relevant products, including the Shanghai Skyline set, the Lego Botanical Collection featuring Chinese flora, and the Monkie Kid series inspired by traditional Chinese mythology, are key to better resonating with local consumers. Niels B. Christiansen, chief executive officer of the group, said earlier this year that 2025 is a big year for the Lego brand in China, pointing to a series of brand activities designed to engage a wide spectrum of consumers, from children to adult fans. Clifton Chiu, senior analyst at Euromonitor International, said Lego has continued to be the biggest player in the construction toys market for 'kidults' in the Chinese market, with its roster of 18-plus sets. To engage with evolving fans worldwide, the toymaker is also leveraging global partnerships to tap into consumer passions beyond traditional toy play. The group recently teamed up with sportswear brand Nike and Formula 1 racing to integrate play into sports culture. Chiu said the number of brands Lego has collaborated with recently, such as Formula 1, has further increased its popularity by introducing racing fans to the Lego space. Goldin said of the team-ups: 'We only pursue these collaborations when we can add extra value to the passion point. — China Daily/ANN

David Beckham and Gary Oldman awarded knighthoods

LONDON: Former England soccer captain David Beckham and actor Gary Oldman were knighted in King Charles' annual birthday honours list on Saturday, while sculptor Antony Gormley was made a Companion of Honour. Beckham, 50, joined Manchester United as a trainee in 1993, going on to make almost 400 appearances for the club where he won a string of titles and cups. He subsequently played for Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, and Inter Milan, as well as captaining his country 58 times and making 115 appearances. His marriage to fashion designer and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham in 1999 cemented a celebrity status which went far beyond his sporting exploits. Oldman, 67, started his career on the stage, where he was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, before rising to prominence in film. He won the best actor Oscar for playing Winston Churchill in the 2017 drama 'Darkest Hour'. He also had roles in the 'Dark Knight Trilogy' and the 'Harry Potter' movie series and more recently starred in the TV spy drama 'Slow Horses'. Other famous names receiving honours included damehoods for musical theatre star Elaine Paige, novelist Pat Barker and ceramics maker Emma Bridgewater. Roger Daltrey, lead singer of rock band the Who and a patron of the Teenage Cancer Trust, received a knighthood for services to charity. More than 1,200 people received honours for their achievements, with a particular focus on those who had given their time to public service, the government said. King Charles' official birthday will be celebrated with the annual 'Trooping the Colour' military parade in London on Saturday. His actual birthday is on November 14.
