PRESS RELEASE HAPA’S MOMENT OF TRUTH The judging process for HAPA Malaysia 2010 has officially completed and the scores are going through tabulation! With the total number of nominations exceeding over 600 for this Malaysia Series of HAPA, the competition levels are, without a doubt, “on fire”! Come November, 115 nominees will be wondering who, amongst them, will be taking home the 32 awards that will be presented at the 9th edition of the Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards (HAPA). This particular edition is the Malaysia Series where award recipients will be recognized for being the most outstanding and be coveted with the respective titles from 2010-2012. Who will they be? The Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards Gala Charity Dinner and Awards Presentation Ceremony will be held at The Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur on November 22, 2010. The theme colours for this black-tie event in 2010 are black and electric blue. Cocktail will start at 6pm in the picturesque Taman Mahsuri whilst the main gala event will be held at the Mayang Sari Grand Ballroom. Something different has been planned for this year’s gala event. The entire awards presentation ceremony will not be in the same concept as before. This will be precisely why punctuality would have to be strictly observed for this year’s event. Any delay in attendance would definitely affect the awards presentation in its entirety. Latecomers might end up missing out on their own awards! In line with the HAPA tradition, all nominees, especially nominated personalities, must be present in person at this grand event. The charity platform has always been HAPA’s personal interest as it’s the awards’ way of giving back to the community through the nett proceeds of the gala event. Year after year, HAPA works with children’s charity organisations, with the hope that the generosity of the Organizer, nominees, judges and, corporate and personal pledges can be channelled to charitable causes. The ‘Pusat Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Cacat Taman Megah’ has been selected to be the charity recipient for this HAPA year. Before HAPA Malaysia can conclude, the Organizer and HAPA Committee wish to thank all those who have helped make HAPA a success till today. There could never be enough ‘thank you’ said to the Panel of Judges simply because HAPA could never exist if this group of professional volunteers did not exist. On the same note, HAPA would never be able to sustain, or even begin, if there were no nominees in the first place. With that said, HAPA would, first and foremost, like to say a BIG thank you to the sponsors and nominees for believing and supporting HAPA till this moment and the judges for doing what they do year in year out – without complaint! Kudos to all! So, don’t miss out, make sure November 22nd is marked brightly on your calendar… and remember to dress your best in black and electric blue! Looking forward to seeing all of you at the event of the year! Keep the HAPA spirit up till then! 136 hospitality asia LIST OF AWARDS HOSPITALITY ASIA PLATINUM AWARDS 2010-2012 MALAYSIA SERIES 7 MAJOR AWARDS 7 ESTABLISHMENT AWARDS SVE HRY RTY GMY SPY GCY NSY 5SH 5SR 4HR IDH BHR SVR SPE HAPA Service Excellence HAPA Hotel/Resort Of The Year HAPA Restaurant Of The Year HAPA General Manager Of The Year HAPA Spa Of The Year HAPA Golf Course Of The Year HAPA Nightspot Of The Year HAPA Best 5-Star Hotel HAPA Best 5-Star Resort HAPA Best 4-Star Hotel/Resort HAPA Best Independent Hotel HAPA Best Boutique Hotel/Resort HAPA Best Serviced Residences HAPA Best Spa Experience 7 PERSONALITY AWARDS 7 RESTAURANT AWARDS WCC CCC ACC PTC EXC FBY PRM WCR CCR ACR ADD CDR UFC BBR HAPA Best Western Cuisine Chef HAPA Best Chinese Cuisine Chef HAPA Best Asian Cuisine Chef HAPA Best Pastry Chef HAPA Best Executive Chef HAPA Best F&B Personality HAPA Best PR/Marcom Personality HAPA Best Western Cuisine Restaurant HAPA Best Chinese Cuisine Restaurant HAPA Best Asian Cuisine Restaurant HAPA Best All-Day Dining Restaurant HAPA Best Casual Dining Restaurant (Independent) HAPA Most Unique F&B Concept HAPA Best Bar & Restaurant 4 DEPARTMENT AWARDS CCD FOD HKD PCD HAPA Best Concierge HAPA Best Front Office HAPA Best Housekeeping Department HAPA Best Purchasing Department SPONSORS OFFICIAL HOTEL OFFICIAL PUBLICATION Note : The awards listed are subject to change and final confirmation by the HAPA Committee hospitality asia 137 CHARITY PUSAT PENJAGAAN KANAK-KANAK CACAT TAMAN MEGAH S.K. Manikumar was born on September 13, 1962 and as a baby, he suffered from polio. As a young man, he went to Tamar Sinar Harapan, a home for the mentally and physically challenged that was run by the government in Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor, with the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Organization and did what he could to bring a little joy to the residents there. While volunteering his services at Tamar Sinar Harapan, a thought grew in his mind: ‘why not set up a home for the disabled?’ With that precise thought, he rented a double-storey corner house in Taman Megah and started a home for the disabled, in early 1992. In the beginning he had four children under his care. He bathed, fed, taught and trained the children, and did whatever else needed to be done for them. His vision was to provide an environment for the betterment of young disabled children, for their difficulties to be recognized and for them to be given equal status in society. Mr Manikumar believed in four key fundamentals, that the organization remain nonreligious, non-political, non-government and nonprofit. In 1997, he officially registered the home under the welfare department as a non-profit organization – PUSAT PENJAGAAN KANAK-KANAK CACAT TAMAN MEGAH (“The Pusat”). From then on, 138 children and adults of multi-racial backgrounds with various disabilities all live under one roof at The Pusat. The ages of the residents ranged from 7 months to 55 years old and they come from all over Peninsular Malaysia. Just over a hundred of the children are disabled with challenges such as Down Syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Global Delay, Muscular Dystrophy, Dwarfism, Apeth Syndrome, Neunan Syndrome, Hyperactivity, physical challenges, intellectual disabilities as well as speech, audio and visual impairment. The rest of the children are normal but hail from broken, abused or single parent backgrounds. Mr Manikumar wanted each and every one of the Pusat’s children to be independent and an example to other special children. He used to tell them that EVERYTHING IS POSSILBE, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. The Pusat is now a model for similar institutions. Undergraduates from various colleges spend part of their community service time at the Pusat. Occupational and physiotherapy students are sent to the Pusat for practical training. 138 hospitality asia CHARITY All funds from the Pusat were single handedly raised by Mr Manikumar. The Pusat needs about RM 60,000 per month to sustain its operations. If that were not enough work for him, he drove the only blind resident in the Pusat to school in Klang each day and each night, while the most of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya’s residents slept, he would drive to the Pusat to check on the children. Many of them were prone to fits and he always wanted to make sure that everything was well and there were no emergencies. Mr Manikumar was a man of great vision, so he purchased insurance policies for the normal children to ensure that when they reached 21 years of age, they would each receive a capital sum to help them further their studies. This initiative, which was carried out by him from the very beginning, is based on the strong belief that only through education will these children be able to break the vicious cycle of poverty and insecurity, and grow up to be useful and contributing adults in the world. He dedicated his whole life fulfilling his vision, until he suddenly passed away in a motor vehicle accident in 2006, at the age of 43. Even on his last journey, he was on the road to raise funds for the children. His death came as a total shock and left a huge void in the Pusat. In recognition of his selfless services, he was posthumously awarded the NST – PriceWaterhouse Coopers Malaysian LIFETIME HUMANITARIAN AWARD by the Hon. Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in December 2006. After Mr Manikumar’s passing, his wife R. Umah Devi heads the management of The Pusat to fulfill and continue her husband’s vision. It costs approximately RM60,000.00 to run the Pusat. The Pusat has no independent or regular sources of income. Initially, 2/3 of funds needed to run the home came from sales of souvenirs produced at the Pusat by the special children and the remaining 1/3 came from parents, individuals, companies and corporations. Unfortunately, the Pusat has no license to sell souvenirs; therefore it is now dependent entirely on donations from the public. More detailed information on The Pusat can be found at www.ppkkctm.org. hospitality asia 139 ENDORSEMENTS CHEFS ASSOCIATION OF MALAYSIA (CAM) CAM is a non-profit organization representing the voice and image of the Malaysian Chefs as professionals to the public, the government and the industry at large.

He discovered that the goats had eaten the berries of a particular tree which, made them behave in this animated way! Kaldi brought his surprising tale to the abbot of a monastery nearby, who poured boiling water onto some berries and made a drink of it, and found that the drink helped him keep awake! And this was how he and the other monks would drink of this concoction each night, and stayed awake for their long hours of prayer and meditation. The legend goes on to tell how this discovery created a demand for the drink. While stories and tales abound about coffee and monks, it is known that coffee trees were cultivated in the gardens of the monasteries in Yemen, and evidence suggests that coffee was cultivated 1000 years ago. The two most commonly cultivated species of coffee for commercial purposes are the Coffea Arabica and Coffea Robusta. Coffea Arabica thrives in high dry cooler altitudes from 600m to 2000m while Coffea Robusta does well in humid tropical climate from sea level to 600m. The coffee plant is an evergreen plant that grows up to a height of 2m-3m. The blossoming flowers are white, and the berries green, and when they are ripe and turn a bright juicy red, they are the coffee cherries! Arabica leaves differ from Robusta leaves in size and shape. Coffee plants and cherries go through a long series of cultivation, harvesting, preparing and curing (wet or dry methods) before they make it to coffee roasters to roast into those aromatic delicious coffee beans/blends, cupped, which then finally get ground, brewed and sit in your cup for the very first sip! Located at Sri Hartamas, Être Bon Gallery & Academy is a facility where Boncafé’s institutional customers can come to be trained on their coffee making or barista skills. It also showcases the story of coffee and Boncafé products, coffee machines, and equipment. Orders for premium single origin coffee via Boncafé’s new Roast on Demand service can also be placed at this location. hospitality asia 143 SPONSOR HOCATSU (M) SDN BHD Established in 1996, Hocatsu (M) Sdn Bhd is a stockist and distributor of quality tableware, kitchenware and foodservice products catering to the food and beverage industry in Malaysia.

Increasingly, today’s F&B operators want to be unique and different and this has made it more necessary than ever for Zieher to remain at the top through innovation and good design. The development of new products in the table-top and buffet sectors is constantly growing at Zieher. Working with chefs, designers and students, Zieher is able to offer buffet innovations of tomorrow. The “Skyline” buffet system is one of these innovative designs that provides maximum flexibility with exclusive presentations on buffets. Apart from its spectacular visual appearance that reminds one of skyscrapers silhouettes and its enormous flexibility, this unique system leaves nothing to be desired. Another new and innovative buffet system called “Konkret!” has been designed to create modern architecture on the buffet. Clear cut lines, neutral forms and colours place special emphasis on the presentation of food and offer at the same time greater flexibility and best usage of the buffet’s surface. The cubes consist of a mixture of fibreglass and stone and therefore offer, next to the optics of concrete, a low weight and high stability which facilitates handling to a great extent. The “V12” – Carbon on the Buffet is one innovation that combines modern and reduced forms with the precious material carbon bringing high-tech to the buffet. Slate, Marble and Granite are all combined in the “Rock Art” collection. It stands out due to its modern and robust mixture of materials like natural stone and glass. The dark brown marble columns are available in a few sizes and offered in polished or carved. Various trivets made of natural stone are suited excellently for the presentation of finger food. This is yet another innovative idea by Zieher. Another shining example of Zieher’s system is the Lightning Buffet. Combined with trays in clear glass, stained glass or slate, these illuminated elevation elements let your buffet shine in a radiant light. The innovative LED technology does not emit any heat, operates with a harmless 12V power supply, has a long lifespan and consumes very little energy. And the best part of all these systems is that there are all compatible. Since all of them are available in three different heights, there are a multitude of possibilities concerning design and material. ‘Creating lasting impressions’ is what Hospitality Resources does best. hospitality asia 147 SPONSOR ASIAEURO WINES & SPIRITS SDN BHD Since 1808, Maison M.Chapoutier is an estate that nurtures its vineyards with the greatest respect for natural balance and terroir. The family motto “fac et Spera”, meaning ‘do and hope’, says it all, and they sum up all the patience and daring that this art demands; patience in relation to nature which presides; daring for the winemaker, who observes, chooses and assists. The wine will be the faithful expression of this alchemy. Members of the Chapoutier family have been working in the Rhone valley since 1808. A distant ancestor, Polydor Chapoutier, was the first to buy vines here, shifting from being a simple grape grower to making and trading his own wine. Since 1990, Michel, now in his forties, manages an exceptional Estate, a land rich in history and tradition. Passionately interested in expressing the character of the soil, Michel has found the means to give free rein to his convictions. A new era for winery, welcoming changes that link traditions of the past with Michel’s daring convictions. Much as with every natural element, what matters are weather, roots, vines and fruit. This is the basis for all the diversity and generosity of Maison M.Chapoutier. Michel Chapoutier started his love affair with wine at 26. A self-taught enthusiast and a curious visionary, he brings to the winery a new approach and a powerful ambition. An idea of wine that soon became all-embracing. The choices he made marked a break with past principles and prejudices. It is his audacity and conviction, which he shares with his young team. Making an essential, emblematic, choice, he decided to change the taste associated with Maison M.Chapoutier, to avoid cultivating “a signature taste”, focussing instead on bringing out the differences and specific features of each terrior. 148 hospitality asia SPONSOR SANPELLEGRINO ASIA REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE Since 1927, Acqua Panna natural still mineral water has been the essence of Tuscany heritage due to the springs’ location in the heart of the Tuscan hills that have been naturally reserved from the 1500s, and this is precisely why the Acqua Panna is renowned for its pure and beneficial characteristics.
