Day 1️⃣

Her Premium Flex with Air Asia flight has departed to Kota Kinabalu (KK) from Kuala Lumpur International airport (KLIA2) @ 5.30am

Guess what❓⁉️

SiennyLovesDrawing was nearly missed her flight for the 1️⃣st time ever, she was lucky 🍀 that she didn’t, so you all still get to read her stories here 😅😂🤣

Unsure & don’t know why she wrongly remembered the Boarding Gate for her flight. Actually she got an angel 😇 who he helped to take her photo – Kota Kinabalu wall at departure hall. He asked, which is your boarding gate❓⁉️ She confidently answered Gate K 🤦🏻‍♀️, if she bothered to recheck her boarding pass again, she would definitely saved her energy to run & rush to the other end for the correct boarding gate that early morning

She was thankful 🙏🏻 that she got on the flight 🛫 to KK, she felt blessed. So, moral of this story to you all, do recheck your boarding gate before you walk towards it to wait for your flight boarding, if missed a flight is definitely not good ya

It’s really feeling good while on board with flight ✈️ after 2️⃣++ years, enjoyed looking out the flight window to feel the warm sun 🔆 rays & seeing the dancing clouds ☁️ up close while enjoyed her favourite flight meal ~ Santan Nasi Lemak Pak Nasser

As an art lover herself, she got amazed with the beautiful wall murals 🎨🖌️ at KKIA painted by the Sabahan artists. Truly proud of all local art talents shown to the world the art & culture of the people in Sabah in different ways, forms & knowledge through art

Actually these art displays at airports are part of the National Art Gallery & Malaysia Airports Holding Berhad (MAHB) initiative ie.

Yes ✅, both domestic & foreign travellers whether now arriving & departing from international airports at KL, KK, Penang & Kuching will be greeted by a series of artworks created by local Malaysian artists. Malaysia 🇲🇾’s international airports are the next cultural hubs

Happily met & greet with Sabah Tourism Board team members, Ms DG & Ms Nana, as well as tour guide, Mr Tommy Soo & driver, Mr Peter of Borneo Excursions at KKIA. Then, departed together to Kudat on a road trip of approximately 3.5 hours

Enjoyed a big bowl of bitter gourd soup vermicelli with a mix of both fresh fish & fried fish slices as lunch @ 📍 Kwong Sup Ikan. Surprisingly that the name of the soup in Cantonese/Mandarin “江鱼仔”, it means anchovies, however none of the dishes related to it, perhaps the soup base 🤔

The fresh fish slice is tasty to enjoy with a sense of fresh sweetness, while she is not to enjoy the fried fish slice, she prefers more dried fried, as she doesn’t really like the taste of flour coated on the fish slice. Just her own tasting preference ya ☺️

The bitter gourd soup base is slightly plain to her taste buds & not bitter. She would have preferred a thicker bitter taste soup base. She has tried a sip of the tomatoes soup 🍅🍲 base from her travel mate’s bowl, it tastes better as compared to bitter gourd

Webinar Attended ~ #iEmPOWER Re-activating Economic Opportunities through Tourism

Yeah‼️ SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 has attended the online webinar ~ #iEmPOWER Re-activating Economic Opportunities through Tourism ~ which hosted by World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) Foundation 

This foundation was established in 2006 as the organising body of the annual World Islamic Economic Forum. The Forum serves as a focal point where country leaders, captains of industry, emerging entrepreneurs, academics & other stakeholders from the Muslim World & beyond, meet to build bridges through business. The Foundation also undertakes various capacity building programmes under the WIEF initiatives of the Businesswomen Network (WBN), Young Leaders Network (WYN), Education Trust (WET), Roundtable Series (WRT) & PowerTalk (WPT)

This webinar was specifically under the initiatives of WBN, which was introduced at the inaugural World Islamic Economic Forum in 2005. It marks the Foundation’s recognition of the importance of women’s contribution to economic growth

WBN is aimed at providing a networking platform for women entrepreneurs globally. Thus, it creating valuable connections between businesswomen from both Muslim & non-Muslim worlds, as well as empowering their business potential and widening their market reach. WBN initiatives are designed to equip women entrepreneurs with business know-how, e-commerce capabilities as well as knowledge in business growth & diversification.

To date, WBN entrepreneurship programmes have continued to evolve with the times & benefitted more than 1K women from 60 countries. WBN will continue its efforts in empowering & advancing women in the economic fields at national, regional & international levels

We all know that tourism industry is 1️⃣ of the top 🔟 global industries by employment in 2022 & has become the major driver of economic growth & job creation

However, unfortunately that tourism industry has suffered a hard hit during COVID-19 pandemic due to travel restrictions & border closures. This has also affected other industries linked to tourism industry eg. hospitality, retail, manufacturing & transportation, to name a few. The 2️⃣-year economic slump caused a major halt in arrivals which fell by as much as 84%. Experts predict the tourism industry worldwide will not fully recover until 2024. This impacted many Micro-, small & medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) linked to the industry. For many developing countries, tourism industry is not only a large economic contributor to their GDP but also presents many employment opportunities for women within the myriad of sectors connected to it. Solutions & actions to step up its revival & reactivate travel may differ from country to country but 2️⃣ common catalysts that accelerate revival now are tech & collaborations. Besides effective tourism recovery plans, support from governments, private sector, civil society & individuals, are needed to change business models & governance structures that will revive tourism back to its optimum level, including all the industries linked to it & build their resilience

🚶🏻‍♀️🛒🛍️ Kim Yong Market

It’s a local market famous to shopping 🛒🛍️ for local snacks & imported snacks from Malaysia 🇲🇾 & Singapore 🇸🇬 which are cheaper here ⬇️💲🏷️ Both local Thai & foreign visitors can buy fresh fruits to vegetables, snacks, a wide variety of nuts (Many come here to grab Thai cashew nuts), food items, dried raw ingredients (dried chili, dried shrimps, spices, etc) to cooked local delicacies, fresh flowers to edible flowers etc.

It’s crowded with people, Tuk-tuks, vans, bikes, people just squeezing their way into & out of this market. Due to its narrow space, hence hard to use baby strollers here

Foods sold here are cheap, however subjects to your bargaining skills 🗣️👥 Of course, if sellers know you’re a tourist, these Thai locals will tend to charge you higher prices 😉

It opens daily from 6️⃣am to 6️⃣pm daily & on Supasarnrangsan Road which within short walking 🚶‍♀️distance to Lee Gardens Plaza 🏬

Shopee Is Unearthing Hidden Gems, Upsizing Traditional Industries

Yeah‼️ SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 always support local Malaysian products/ services 🙌🏻💪🏻🇲🇾💯

This time she would like to share that her favorite online shopping platform, Shopee’s 🧡📲🛒🛍️ robust ecosystem provides sellers with the ease to manage their online store-front, reach out to more customers & fulfil customers’ orders through integrated logistics management

This has supported many small-scale businesses with e-commerce infrastructure & resources. With more time on hand to run the business, it is no wonder that many local businesses turn to e-commerce platforms to expand their business reach , then generate higher business profit 👍🏻

This gonna be a good news for online shoppers who love spicy sambal hitam, crispy chips & also beautiful freshwater pearl brooches for ladies 🤩

Do continue to read on this entrepreneurship story of each & then consider whether you’re gonna add cart some to support these 3️⃣ local Malaysian businesses ya 😃

Dishing Out Pahang Sambal Hitam to Klang Valley

Khairil Adhzaha 🧍🏽‍♂️, who operates a sambal factory in Bentong, Pahang, is 1️⃣ of Shopee Malaysia’s 🧡 most successful local sellers. His brand, Tokey Sambal Hitam (🧡📲🛒🛍️🌐 https://shopee.com.my/sambalhitamtrading) was bestowed the Super Favourite Buatan Malaysia title at the recent Shopee Super Awards 2022 🎖️for achieving the highest ⬆️ store growth in the last 12 months with excellent customer service. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻

The Tokey Sambal Hitam factory produces 80 kg of sambal hitam daily & employs 6 skilled & semi-skilled members of the local community to perform daily tasks, from raw ingredient processing to product marketing. According to Khairil 🧍🏽‍♂️, the business set-up was much leaner when he 1️⃣st started in 2009. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a flourishing business when he expanded into Shopee🧡 to reach out to audiences beyond Bentong

“Majority of our customers live around Klang Valley,” Khairil said, reminiscing how e-commerce had contributed significantly to the growth of his business & created larger demand beyond the borders of Bentong. “Being on Shopee🧡 has helped my business grow 📈.” He concurred that his sambal business would not have made it, had it not been for the ability of e-commerce to connect customers to businesses

Khairil explained that sambal hitam is a simple, spicy, & sour condiment, special to Pahang made with ingredients sourced locally such as chillies, belimbing buluh (averrhoa bilimbi), onions & anchovies 🌶️😋👍🏻

Ohh wowo….While writing to share about this local produce here, SiennyLovesDrawing just can’t wait but to add cart this sambal Hitam on her Shopee app 🧡📲

“Most Malay families in Pahang will have their own recipe. It is so tasty 😋🤤, you will finish a bowl of rice 🍚 with this 1️⃣ simple condiment‼️ Ready-to-eat sambal hitam provides busy working adults with more meal-time convenience. Unlike Bentong, people in Klang Valley work long hours, get stuck in traffic jams & may be too tired to prepare dinner when they get home. That is why there is more demand for ready-to-eat sambal hitam in KL than in Bentong,” Khairil elaborated🧍🏽‍♂️

When asked how his business had contributed to the local economy, Khairil🧍🏽‍♂️ said that he sources all of his raw ingredients from local farmers & traders. He orders hundreds of kilograms of supplies such as anchovies, chillies & onions from local traders. Belimbing buluh however, is sourced directly from local farmers around Selangor, Pahang & Perak. The business currently needs up to 300kg of the sour fruit

Khairil 🧍🏽‍♂️added that with Tokey Sambal Hitam’s annual business growth 📈 projected between 20% & 30%, he foresees an increase ⬆️ of up to 40% in the volume of raw ingredients required

“Being a priority seller on Shopee🧡 , I have the advantage of receiving ample help & guidance from my account manager. All these have helped accelerate the growth 📈 of my business.”

A little bit of Sabah for West Malaysians

Ex-insurance finance executive, Emilhan Mokhtar 🙋🏽‍♂️, lost his job & returned to Sabah in 2020. With nothing much to do at home & a working capital of RM2K he borrowed from his youngest sister, Emilhan purchased brooches made with Sabahan freshwater pearls 🦪 to sell on Shopee🧡

“My business was really small when I 1️⃣st started and I had to think outside the box. I sourced for freshwater pearl brooches, a popular souvenir 🎁 from Sabah, to sell among my network of friends in Kuala Lumpur,” Emilhan explained

Today, Emilhan’s online store, Kita Shop Selangor (🧡📲🛒🛍️🌐 https://shopee.com.my/kitashopselangor), has grown many folds on Shopee🧡. His success has enabled him to establish a retail store, employing 6 local employees to assist with picking & packing, creating online content & managing the physical store. The brand currently carries between 200 – 300 types of designs, ranging from baby brooches, to shoulder brooches, & large brooches. All of them are sourced from local and indigenous artisans all over Sabah

SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 has just checked out this online store on Shopee app🧡📲, very nicely done freshwater pearl 🦪 brooches, she has saved to her favorite so she can source some good gifts 🎁 from here as her Malay colleague’s birthday is upcoming 🎂🥳😃

“E-Commerce is still a large demand creation platform, & 95% of my customers are from Peninsula Malaysia,” he added 🙋🏽‍♂️, sharing that his online store sells an average of 2K brooches monthly. “In 2021 alone, I managed to switch my business ownership type to Sendirian Berhad.”

Emilhan believes that e-commerce is able to create more demand for brooches made of Sabah freshwater pearls, especially with live selling as it allows sellers to interact with interested users & potential buyers in real-time

“Over the last few years, we have noticed that a customer may spend at least 3️⃣ times more during a Shopee Live session compared to buying normally from our Shopee🧡 store. We believe that they feel more confident with the product quality when they can see it live,” Emilhan added🙋🏽‍♂️

Delivering Kerepek Pedas all over Malaysia from Parit Sulong

Kerepek Mastuki (🧡📲🛒🛍️🌐 https://shopee.com.my/amat819) sells about 1,200 kilograms of kerepek pedas online to people from all over Malaysia every month. According to its Parcel Leader Fatin Syahirah🧕🏼, Kerepek Mastuki started as a family business in 1991 & had gained popularity within the span of 🔟 years. Their customers have travelled all the way from Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Kelantan, Perlis & Perak to the store in Parit Sulong, Johor to buy kerepek pedas basah

Yeah‼️ SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻🛒 has added to cart some kerepek basah to surprise her mama 🧓🏻 Actually she is a fan for any kind of chips, will share her reviews by updating this blog once she received & tasted her orders ya 😁

“Kerepek Mastuki pivoted online on Shopee🧡 during the pandemic. We had the advantage of having a large existing client base before coming online. Our customers were also excited to see their favourite snacks easily accessible online,” Fatin shared🧕🏼 Kerepek Mastuki is now producing an average of 19K kilograms of kerepek monthly, with chilis & onions sourced from local suppliers

“We are very grateful 🙏🏻 to be able to support our community here in Parit Sulong through Kerepek Mastuki. We have expanded the team with many local youths from our town to accommodate our growing business & are happy 😁 to give them the opportunity to start their careers with us,” Fatin elaborated further 🧕🏼

Shopee🧡 empowers sellers interested in taking their traditional businesses online through various online courses through the Seller Education Hub & Shopee University

To further strengthen their edge, sellers can join the upcoming Shopee Seller Summit in June 2023 & explore the latest value-based trends in the industry, share their experiences, & learn from fellow sellers

So, let’s join SiennyLovesDrawing to support local products mentioned above on Shopee app🧡📲🛒🛍️ ya 🛍️🛒🌐 shp.ee/jcaxuai 🧡📲

She is now waiting for her orders to arrive to enjoy la 😃
