The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), in partnership with Nazsoft Tech Sdn Bhd, and with the support of the Royal Malaysia Customs Department (RMCD), today launched MADANI Digital Trade (MDT) (www.madanitrade.com), an integrated virtual showcase designed to strengthen Malaysian exporters’ access to global markets.

Verdant Solar Sdn. Bhd. has made history with its official recognition in the Malaysian Book of Records for achieving the highest number of residential solar photovoltaic (PV) system installations in a single year, for the third year running. This milestone reaffirms Verdant Solar’s leadership in Malaysia’s renewable energy sector, as the company continues to drive widespread adoption of sustainable energy solutions.

A Message from En. Azhan Che Mat, General Manager of MyTOWN Shopping Centre 

"We are honoured to work with Komuniti Tukang Jahit (KTJ) and support their efforts in  empowering women, as well as being part of the Golden Hope Campaign to bring joy to  children in need. Giving back to the community is at the heart of what we do, and we are proud  to contribute through our corporate social responsibility initiatives. 

This year’s patchwork theme brings back memories of our grandmothers, who lovingly stitched  together pieces of fabric to create something meaningful. Through Weaves of Gratitude, we  hope to rekindle those cherished traditions and create a space where everyone can come  together, celebrate, and make lasting memories. 

As we mark our 8th anniversary and welcome new tenants, we remain committed to providing  a dynamic and inclusive space for all." 

Join us at MyTOWN Shopping Centre as we celebrate the beauty of timeless heritage, and  heartfelt giving this festive season.
