All That Glitz & Glamour on the Silver Screen

Back after a three-year hiatus, Dama Asia Productions are set to present All That Glitz & Glamour on the Silver Screen, a musical theatre concert that will relive the magic of signature songs of the Mandarin Golden Oldies era, from the 1930s-1960s. The show marks a comeback of sorts for the multiple award-winning and multilingual theatre company, who are renowned for their blending of East-West harmonies in their musical performances. We get a crash course on this era of music from Pun Kai Loon, the Artistic Director of Dama Asia, who is also the director and scriptwriter for this production, and we also find out what's in store from Yon Lynn, a vocal coach and artiste from All That Glitz & Glamour on the Silver Screen.

Open For Business

FeedMe. Restaurants are under pressure like never before like rising costs, staff shortages, shrinking margins, and systems that were never designed for today’s pace of business. We speak with Squall Tan, CEO of FeedMe, about how a simple frustration with slow service and wrong orders led to the creation of a full F&B operating system now used across the region. Squall shares how FeedMe evolved from a homegrown POS into an integrated platform that helps restaurants automate ordering, reduce operational blind spots, and make smarter, data-driven decisions. From why most F&B businesses fail, to how AI is reshaping restaurant operations and what it takes to scale a food-tech company across Asia, this is a discussion on how technology is quietly redefining the F&B industry.

The Workplace

Fahad Naeem, Country Director, Randstad Malaysia. Malaysia’s job market is moving fast in 2026, with new roles opening up, salaries shifting, and employers competing harder than ever for the right talent. But beneath the activity lies a deeper transformation in how Malaysians choose where and why they work. We speak with Fahad Naeem, Country Director at Randstad Malaysia, about the findings from Randstad’s 2026 Job Market Outlook and Salary Guide, and what they reveal about Malaysia’s push towards a higher-value workforce. From skills shortages and AI-driven role changes, to rising employee confidence and the growing importance of trust, flexibility, and learning opportunities, this conversation explores why pay alone is no longer enough to attract or retain top talent. It’s a timely look at what employers must rethink in 2026 and what professionals should watch for as Malaysia’s workforce enters a new chapter.
