Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (“P1”) and ruumzNation Sdn Bhd (“ruumz’) today announced their extended support for the P1 Malaysian Filmmaker Showcase – 15Malaysia (15MY) project and the talented local filmmakers by sponsoring the directors travels to the Pusan International Film Festival (PIFF) in Korea, where the 15-film showcase was recently accepted to screen, but I was not sponsored anything and get nothing except the good short films!
The PIFF in Korea is one of Asia’s largest and most established annual industry event. It hosts numerous sideline events dedicated to promoting Asian cinema including the Asian Cinema Fund, the Asian Network of Documentary Fund, the Asian Film Academy and the Pusan Promotion Plan.
Whilst 15MY made its way to screen at PIFF, the festival organisers sponsored only three or four of the more established directors to the event. Michael Lai, CEO of P1 believes that none of the creators of 15MY should be left behind.
He said, “We’re extremely proud that 15MY is gaining international grounds. All 15 of the very talented local directors who created the showcase, should be there at Pusan. Our sponsorship of the directors to this important and highly regarded “serious filmmaker” event, hopes to provide them with the exposure and opportunities to move on to more and bigger scale projects. And I hope we all realise now that they’ve all got what it takes.”
To bring to life this exciting occasion for Malaysians, ruumz, which is the official online partner for 15MY will be featuring exclusive travelogue content (videos and blog) direct from Pusan over the course of the festival from 8th to 16th October. For more updates on the build-up to P1 and 15MY at Pusan, please go to www.ruumz.com/15malaysia .
“ruumz is a social media platform which showcases and enables Malaysian content developers to reach, interact and engage with audiences directly, in ways that wasn’t possible before the availability of high-quality & consistent broadband connections. 15MY is our showcase project on what the Malaysian creative community and ruumz can do, and the response has been absolutely amazing,” said James Chong, the Chief Executive of ruumz.
He added, “ruumz will enable the huge fanbase of 15MY to further engage with the directors on a much more personal level by providing exclusive and up-to-the minute 15MY at Pusan content. The directors’ interesting personalities and their interaction with this prestigious and colourful international film festival and its participants, for many of them a first – will make great online content.”
P1 launched 15MY in August as part of its branding effort and to support local content creation. 15MY is produced by Pete Teo, who also produced the successful independent online viral campaign, Malaysian Artists For Unity (“MAFU”). To date, 15MY has generated significant online buzz with close to 3 million ruumz and YouTube video streams and 11 million visits to the site. At its peak, its YouTube channel was also the 10th most watched channel in the world. The analytics is clear that 15MY has set the precedence for successful online viral campaigns for Malaysia.
Teo said, “15Malaysia encourages the broadening of minds, as well as move us towards more open public discourse of important issues that are close to the hearts of many Malaysians. The project was not something that many corporations would happily participate due to its social political themes, but P1 and ruumz were all for it because the project was unconventional and online, and because it creates relevant content and celebrates homegrown creativity. All the directors are really excited about going to Pusan.”
15MY has also received numerous invitations to other international film festivals including the much coveted Golden Horse Film Festival, Taipei. The Golden Horse is one of the most prestigious award showcases worldwide and the most well-regarded in the Chinese-language film industry.

Read the instructions and Terms & Conditons, it’s very important. They do not allow re-entry once you get out of Sunway Lagoo. If you want to re-entry, you need to pay for the entrance fees.
RM30 for Non-Canon users be it DSLR or point and shoot cameras..
Online Registration Counter
Walk In Registration Counter
Live video shooting in progress
Elephant Walk Entrance to the amphitheater.
This time round, no breakfast and no lunch, heard my colleague said last year Canon Photo Marathon they had it in Times Square KL and they provided fooood. But this year, they did and and the food sold inside is just 3-4 times expensive than the normal price. RM5 for a can drink… 100plus or sprite, RM10 for fried rice, etc,that’s too much?
Amphitheater full of red shirt ppl… Haha damn red. Mostly is Canon users and all the participants get a Red T-Shirt + a cap.
Too early nothing to do?

It’s been a long time since my last visit to Singapore and I love shopping and enjoy the food in Singapore especially Katong Laksa. I would like to visit Singapore again and again because of the ppl and country which is rich blend in culture, cuisine, arts and architecture! Now it host F1 and Casino coming soon too which make me more excited.
1st thing to do when arrive in Singapore is to find foooood!
Katong Laksa, the noodles are normally cut up into smaller pieces so that the entire dish can be eaten with a spoon alone (that is, without chopsticks or a fork). Katong laksa is a strong contender for the heavily competed title of Singapore’s national dish. I only tasted once and loving it. 1st time eating Laksa using a spoon. Haha. It’s different from all the laksa you can get in Malaysia.
Also head to China Town, NZX 牛车水, in Singapore for food too!
2nd thing to do is go shopping…!
Bugis Street… pack with ppl. Can get something nice and cheap there!
Bugis Square with dancing fountain which a lot of kid likes to play there and feel relaxing.
Shopping definitely will be Orchard Road! Just so many shops and mall along the road and you can’t resist for the sales.
Then head to VivoCity to continue shopping!
Then head to Queensway Shopping Centre to get sports shoe. Do you know that you can grab nice design sport shoe that you most probably can’t find in Malaysia and it’s cheap too!
After that head to Sim Lim Square to shop for some IT gadgets, it’s similar to our Lowyat Plaza. Some of the products that you can’t find in Malaysia, you can find it there as well, that’s why I love to visit that place.
Wahh… really shop till I drop this time. =p
3rd thing is visit the nature. Jurong Bird Park
4th thing to do is go to the happening night life place. Clarke Quay
Nice night spot to hang out and there’s plenty pub for us to drink and chit chat.
I want to try the Singapore’s first ever bungy – G-MAX Reverse Bungy! Be launched skywards at 200km per hour to a dazzling height of 60 meters! Experience G forces similar to those experienced by astronauts in a rocket launch, all in the safety of the latest G-MAX technology. Sure damn “Chi Kek!”
Want to take a ride on Singapore Flyer too! It’s similar to Eye On Malaysia as in the picture above?
I always visit this Singapore Visitors Centre to grab latest info and happenings and sales. If you need any guide or don’t know what to do? Just visit “Singapore Visitors Centre” it sure be helpful.
Haha… I don’t think all the mention above could be done in 1 day? Arghh…
“Indulge in the Uniquely Singapore experience”
