Honouring extraordinary Malaysians
challenging themselves to achieve great feats and attempting to break records,
The Malaysia Book of Records launched (MBR
Live!) 2019 – Extraordinary Malaysia today at Gurney Plaza, Penang. Set to
inspire more Malaysians to achieve great feats and surpass their limits, the
second installation of MBR Live! roadshow will be held from 20 to 22 September
2019.
Themed “Extraordinary
Malaysia”,
MBR Live! 2019 is being held for the first time in
Penang and was officially launched by YAB Tuan Chow Kon Yeow, Chief Minister of
Penang. This live event served as a platform to inspire and promote the spirit
of patriotism among Malaysians as they witness LIVE record-breaking attempts,
learn about extraordinary Malaysians, and even attempt to become record
breakers themselves.
Speaking at the launch, Christopher
Wong, Chief Operating Officer of The Malaysia Book of Records said, “The
Malaysia Book of Records is the official body that recognises record holders,
record breakers and record creators in Malaysia and we aim to inspire
Malaysians to achieve something greater and surpass their limits. The very
first MBR Live! Roadshow held at Klang Valley last year was a resounding
success and MBR Live! has become an ideal platform for Malaysians to showcase
their talents, encouraging and inspiring Malaysians to take the challenge and
achieve greater heights each year. We celebrate our national record holders and
the spirit of excellence as new attempts have been made to create new records.
I urge more Malaysians to take part in MBR Live! 2019 to challenge themselves
to go beyond the limits to achieve their passion and dreams; and stand a chance
to be listed in the Malaysia Book of Records. This is the second installation of MBR Live! and we look
forward to continue this initiative as an annual affair and a way to foster
patriotism and positivism amongst fellow Malaysians.”
Over the three-day event, the MBR
Live! 2019 will see 45 records being showcased, 39 live record-breaking
attempts and 7 engaging, fun-filled record titles open for public
participation.
Penangites will be able to witness
Malaysians challenging each other for the 39 record titles in real-time which
include ‘First Coffenaited Painting using Starbucks Coffee as Paint’, ‘Most
Number of Fire Torches Eaten in 60 seconds’, ‘Fastest to Escape from Water
Torture Cell’, ‘Most Number of Reverse Palm Push Ups in 1 Minute’ and ‘First to
Play Violin while Paragliding’.
Mr. Kimmy Liew in his attempt to break the record of Most Number of Fire Torches Eaten in 60 Seconds, achieved the result of 59 fire torches in 60 seconds.
Ms. Jessica Loo, who holds the record of being
the First to Play Violin While Paragliding, serenading the crowd with her solo
