Keeping Malaysia in Motion: Pos Malaysia Run 2026 Returns Bigger Than Ever

 

Kuala Lumpur is set to come alive once again as the Pos Malaysia Run 2026 makes its highly anticipated return, this time with an even bigger ambition. Taking place on 29 November 2026 at the iconic Dataran Merdeka, the third edition of the community driven run is targeting an impressive 10,000 participants, marking a new milestone for one of Malaysia’s fastest growing lifestyle sporting events.

Organised by Pos Malaysia Berhad, the annual run continues to evolve beyond just a race. It has become a meaningful platform that celebrates movement, connection, and community, values deeply rooted in the everyday journeys of Pos Malaysia’s frontline workforce, who keep the nation connected across every postcode.

A Run with Purpose

Since its debut in 2024, the Pos Malaysia Run has steadily gained momentum, drawing over 7,000 participants in 2025. This year’s expansion reflects not just growing interest, but a broader mission to inspire healthier lifestyles while fostering unity and sustainability.

At its core, the run mirrors Pos Malaysia’s operational ethos, keeping Malaysia moving.

A Different Kind of Raya Gift: Discovering Wellness with guardian Malaysia

There is something about Ramadan that always slows life down in the most beautiful way. Between preparing for iftar, planning Raya outfits and thinking about which kuih to bake or buy, it is also a season that gently reminds us to reflect on what truly matters. Family, gratitude and the small ways we show love to the people around us suddenly feel more important.

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the guardian Malaysia’s Raya campaign and it left me thinking about something quite refreshing. What if Raya gifts could be more than just a festive tradition?For most of us, Raya gifts usually revolve around the familiar. Duit Raya packets, festive hampers or sweet treats that we serve to guests. It is something we have grown up with and it remains a cherished part of the celebrations.

This year, however, guardian Malaysia is introducing a slightly different perspective. Their Raya campaign, titled “Seikhlas Pemberian, Seindah Lebaran”, encourages Malaysians to think about gifting something that lasts beyond the celebrations. The idea is simple but meaningful. Instead of only focusing on festive treats, why not also consider the gift of wellness? And honestly, it makes a lot of sense.

Health and wellbeing are probably the most meaningful things we could wish for the people we love. A thoughtful skincare set for mum, supplements for our parents or self care essentials for a friend who is always busy. These are gifts that quietly say, I care about you and I want you to take care of yourself too.

One of the highlights of the campaign is guardian’s new Raya film which brings this message to life through a touching story. The film follows a young woman named Rina and her grandmother, showing how small gestures of care over the years quietly strengthen their bond. Many of those gestures come in the form of simple wellness gifts that support their health and wellbeing through the different stages of life.

It is the kind of story that feels very familiar. Many of us probably have someone like that in our lives. A parent, a grandparent or an aunt who always reminds us to take care of ourselves. The message is simple but powerful. Sometimes the most meaningful gifts are not the biggest ones, but the ones that protect and care for our loved ones over time. What made the event even more meaningful was how guardian extended the spirit of giving beyond the campaign itself.

At the Raya atrium event in Sunway Pyramid, guardian hosted eighty girls from several homes for a special afternoon centred on wellness and self care. The girls took part in sessions led by guardian pharmacists and brand partners who shared practical tips about personal care and health. These are the kind of small lessons that can make a real difference in everyday life. They were also treated to a Raya shopping experience where they could select their own health and beauty products with guidance from the guardian team and members of the media. The afternoon ended with a warm buka puasa together which felt especially meaningful during the month of Ramadan. 

Throughout the month, guardian will also continue its charity wellness initiatives, reaching close to two thousand beneficiaries from various homes and communities. More than RM55,000 has been pledged towards these outreach efforts, which makes the campaign feel even more aligned with the true spirit of the season.

If you happen to be visiting Sunway Pyramid this week, you might want to drop by the guardian Raya atrium which runs from 2 to 8 March. The space features various brand activations and promotions and it is quite a lively festive setup if you enjoy browsing new products. guardian is also offering discounts of up to fifty percent on more than seven thousand five hundred products across its stores nationwide and online, which makes preparing for Raya a little easier.

For members of MYguardian Rewards, there is also a festive contest running from 25 February until 31 March 2026 with more than RM80,000 worth of prizes to be won. Members who spend a minimum of RM50 in a single receipt that includes participating brands will automatically be entered into the draw. The prizes include a 999 gold necklace and pendant Rama Rama set from Habib Jewels as well as gold hand bracelets and weekly Habib Jewels vouchers.

Another detail I personally enjoyed seeing this year is guardian’s collaboration with local fashion label Fiziwoo. The brand has designed exclusive Raya green packets for guardian featuring a bold contemporary batik inspired motif. It is part of guardian’s ongoing Love For Local initiative which celebrates homegrown Malaysian brands. Members who spend RM68 and above will receive a pack of these exclusive green packets along with a RM5 guardian voucher.

Walking away from the event, I found myself reflecting on how the meaning of Raya evolves as we grow older. When we were children, the excitement was mostly about collecting duit Raya and visiting relatives. As adults, the focus slowly shifts towards making sure the people we love are happy, healthy and well cared for. Perhaps that is why the idea of gifting wellness feels so fitting for this season.

Because at the end of the day, the most beautiful Raya gift we could ever hope for is simple. Good health, sincere prayers and precious time together with the people we love. And if you happen to be passing by Sunway Pyramid, you might just want to take a little detour to see what guardian has put together this Raya season. You might find something thoughtful for someone you love, or even a small reminder to take care of yourself too.

Affordable Raya Gems at KWC Raya Fashion Show 2026

The moment I stepped into KWC Fashion Wholesale for the KWC Raya Fashion Show 2026, I could immediately feel the shift  that familiar festive energy that quietly signals Raya is approaching. The Centre Court was buzzing with excitement, filled with shoppers, fashion lovers, and curious onlookers, all gathered to catch a glimpse of what Raya 2026 has in store. As someone who looks forward to this season every year, not just for the celebrations but also the fashion, I was genuinely excited to see what KWC had prepared. And within minutes of the first model stepping onto the runway, I knew this was going to be special.

What stood out to me most was how wearable everything felt. These weren’t intimidating couture pieces meant only for show,  these were real outfits, designed for real celebrations. I saw modern Baju Kurung silhouettes with clean tailoring, soft flowy fabrics that moved beautifully, and colour palettes ranging from dreamy pastels to rich festive tones. It felt like a perfect reflection of how Raya fashion has evolved — honouring tradition while embracing modern simplicity. I could easily imagine wearing these pieces for first day Raya visits, family photos, or even small open houses with close friends. There was an effortless elegance to the designs that made them feel timeless rather than trend-driven.

One of the biggest highlights of the show was the KWC Raya Collection, where 16 brands came together to present 20 curated festive looks. Sitting there and watching each look come down the runway, I found myself mentally bookmarking pieces I would actually wear. What makes KWC truly special, and something I always appreciate, is how accessible the fashion is. In a time where Raya outfits can easily become expensive, KWC proves that you don’t need to spend excessively to look and feel your best. The collections showcased that beautiful Raya outfits can still be affordable, making it possible for anyone,  whether students, young families, or parents shopping for the whole household! The collection will definitely have something when it comes to finding something that fits both style and budget. It’s honestly refreshing to see fashion that feels inclusive rather than exclusive.

The abaya segment was another moment that quietly stole my attention. The pieces were understated yet incredibly refined, with elegant cuts and graceful movement that made them perfect not just for Raya, but for many future occasions. There was also a special showcase featuring exclusive Raya designs that leaned slightly more festive, blending modesty with subtle glamour. It reminded me how modest fashion continues to grow in Malaysia, offering women more choices that allow them to feel confident while staying true to their personal style.

As the show continued, the atmosphere became even more festive with a special performance by Iman Troye, bringing a lively and joyful energy to the space. It wasn’t just a fashion show anymore, it felt like the beginning of the Raya season itself. There’s something meaningful about seeing these collections come to life in person. It makes Raya feel closer, more real, and fills you with inspiration to start preparing for the celebrations ahead.

Leaving KWC that afternoon, I found myself reflecting on how much Raya fashion has changed over the years. It’s no longer about finding the most extravagant outfit, but about finding something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and festive, without unnecessary pressure on your wallet. KWC Fashion Wholesale has quietly become one of those places where you can discover beautiful, affordable Raya outfits in Kuala Lumpur without compromising on quality or style. For anyone still searching for their perfect Raya look this year, KWC is definitely worth exploring. Sometimes, the best finds are in places that focus on making fashion accessible to everyone, and this show was a beautiful reminder of exactly that.

The changing form of a long relationship

Love doesn’t disappear overnight. 

It evolves… quietly. 

It usually starts with late-night texts, butterflies, and “can’t get enough of you.” 

Then comes comfort. 

Inside jokes. Shared routines. 

Love feels safe. 

Then life gets loud. 

Work. Stress. Expectations. 

Conversations turn practical. Effort turns assumed. 

Arguments stop—not because things are okay, 

but because silence feels easier than explaining how you feel… again. 

7 years later, you’re not strangers. 

You’re just two people who stopped asking, 

“How are you, really?” 

Love didn’t end. 

It just stopped being chosen intentionally. 

And here’s the truth: 

Silence isn’t the absence of love. 

It’s the absence of feeling safe enough to speak. 

Choose each other. 

Again. And again. 🌱

If you grew up loving tiny cars with big personality, this one’s for you. TOMICA, the iconic Japanese diecast miniature car brand, has officially opened its first TOMICA Brand Store in Southeast Asia, and it’s right here in Kuala Lumpur.

Launched on 18 December 2025, the new TOMICA Brand Store is housed within the Toys“R”Us IP Flagship Collection Store at Suria KLCC, marking a major milestone not just for TOMICA fans, but for collectors and families across the region.

A First for Malaysia and Southeast Asia

The Kuala Lumpur opening represents TOMICA’s third Brand Store globally, following Shanghai (September 2024) and Beijing (September 2025). Established by TOMY Company, Ltd. (Japan) in partnership with Toys“R”Us Asia, the Malaysia store reflects TOMICA’s growing presence beyond Japan and China.

Located on Level 2, Ramlee Mall, Suria KLCC, the store adopts a Shop-in-Shop concept, designed to function both as a retail destination and an immersive information hub — a place where fans of all ages can experience TOMICA’s brand message:
“Only the Real Thing Moves.”

Step Inside the World of TOMICA

From the moment you arrive, the TOMICA Brand Store is hard to miss. The exterior is cleverly designed to resemble a giant TOMICA box, setting the tone for what’s inside. Highlights of the store include the impressive TOMICA Wall showcasing over 2,000 TOMICA diecast miniature cars, the striking Wheel Table centrepiece made of stacked wheels, the TOMICA Kidults Area dedicated to adult collectors with a playful spirit, a Recommended Corner spotlighting new and notable releases, as well as a TOMICA History Area that celebrates the brand’s rich heritage since 1970.

Whether you’re a lifelong collector or introducing TOMICA to your children for the first time, the store is designed to spark nostalgia, curiosity, and excitement.
Celebrating 55 Years of TOMICA

First introduced in 1970 as Japan’s first palm-sized domestic diecast miniature car series, TOMICA was created with the idea of giving children miniature cars inspired by familiar Japanese makes. Over the decades, the brand has grown into a global phenomenon.

To date, more than 10,000 different TOMICA models have been released, with cumulative sales exceeding one billion cars worldwide as of December 2024, a testament to its enduring appeal across generations. The Malaysia opening also coincides with TOMICA’s 55th Anniversary, making the launch even more meaningful.

“We are pleased to open our first TOMICA Brand Store in Southeast Asia this year, which coincides with TOMICA’s 55th Anniversary. This store is certainly a must-visit showcase and experiential hub for enthusiasts and collectors to fully immerse themselves in TOMICA’s world of diecast miniature cars.”

Ochiai Kiyoshi, Managing Director of TOMY ASIA

He added that TOMY plans to continue expanding its brand store network across Asia to bring the TOMICA experience to fans worldwide.

Tan Ee Chian, Executive Director of Litt Tak Sdn Bhd, TOMICA’s official distributor in Malaysia for the past 40 years, described the opening as a significant milestone:


“The TOMICA Brand Store provides a dedicated platform to spotlight the brand’s extensive range — from timeless favourites to premium and limited-edition models — creating a more immersive and engaging experience than ever before.”

Meanwhile, Carol Chua, General Manager of Toys“R”Us (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, highlighted the partnership’s importance:


“Having TOMICA anchor our IP Flagship Collection Store at Suria KLCC elevates the entire concept, giving families, fans and collectors of all ages an inspiring destination that brings our brand promise ‘Live Toyful’ to life.”

Exclusive Merchandise & Launch Activities

Adding to the excitement, the store features two original TOMICA Brand Store products available exclusively in Malaysia, alongside selected original items from the TOMICA Shop in Japan.
