Mi MAGGI® celebrated 51 years of history with Malaysians through its annual MAGGI® SAH Malaysia!, campaign, which was organised in conjunction with Malaysia’s 65th Independence Day as well as the 59th Malaysia Day recently. The campaign reached its culmination via a Grand Finale and on ground fiesta celebration as MAGGI®‘s biggest event of the year, held at the architectural and historical landmark of the Malaysia Tourism Centre (MaTiC).
Introduced in Malaysia in 1971, Mi MAGGI® has since been a Malaysian favourite, from a hearty bowl of MAGGI® Soup noodles at home to a plate of MAGGI® Mi Goreng at the restaurant.
Speaking at the media event, Juan Aranols, CEO of Nestle (Malaysia) Berhad said that the MAGGI® SAH Malaysia! campaign themed DuniaKu Bersama MAGGI® celebrates the richness and heritage of MAGGI® creations from home to food outlets, paying tribute to the culinary creativity of warungs, mamak stalls and food trucks nationwide, all of which form the colourful fabric of Malaysian lifestyle.
“MAGGI® SAH Malaysia!, into its third year, aims to bring out the best of Malaysian food culture – of eating together and connecting with one another at the local eateries with their favourite MAGGI® dish. Many food operators were hard hit during the COVID-19 pandemic but now with more Malaysians eating out and socialising again as normalcy resumed, this campaign aims to celebrate their unique and viral Mi MAGGI® creations!” said Juan.
