If there's one thing many Malaysians can relate to, it's the habit of keeping things because they might come in handy one day. From old photographs and childhood memories to shopping bags, kitchen containers and festive decorations, there's always something we're not quite ready to throw away. But what if the problem isn't having too many things? What if we simply haven't found the right place for them? That's the idea behind IKEA Malaysia's new "Sorted Lah!" campaign , launched in October 2026 as part of its broader message, "A place for everything and everyone" . Rather than encouraging Malaysians to move into bigger homes or get rid of their belongings, IKEA wants to show how thoughtful storage solutions can help make existing living spaces more organised, practical and comfortable for everyone in the household. The campaign is supported by findings from IKEA's first Home Organisation Index, which offers a closer look...

Life has taken Malaysian actor Taiyuddin Bakar on a journey he probably never imagined.

A pioneering doctor and the wife of Malaysia’s fourth and seventh prime minister, Tun Dr Hasmah Mohamad Ali devoted decades to health, welfare, education and women’s advancement, while making time for music and Malaysian badminton.   At 16, she put down her violin to concentrate on her studies. At 86, she picked it up again. Seventy years had passed, but the opportunity to make music was still there. Recalling that return at a school alumni dinner in 2019, Tun Dr Hasmah Mohamad Ali said, “It proves that age should not stop anyone from pursuing their dreams.” [1] By her 93rd birthday, she was performing for charity, rehearsing beforehand and joking that retirement could wait until 95. [2] These are some of the moments worth remembering following her death on 28 September 2026, aged 100. Widely known as Tun Dr Siti Hasmah, she died at the National Heart Institute at about 9.20am, according to CNA, which cited her son Mokhzani Mahathir’s confirmation to Bernama. Prime Minister D...

Empowering the community to turn surplus food into everyday savings, one Value Bag at a time. Value Food is a Malaysian surplus food marketplace app that connects consumers with local cafés, bakeries, restaurants, hotels, and grocers, allowing them to rescue surprise bags of excess food at a fraction of the original retail price.
