Massive Malaysian challenge at PKNS Selangor Masters

THIS week’s PKNS Selangor Masters will see a huge local presence, with 55 Malaysians teeing up at Seri Selangor Golf Club in the season-opener of the 2025 Asian Development Tour.

Co-sanctioned with the Professional Golf of Malaysia (PGM) Tour, the much-anticipated 12th edition offers a handsome total purse of US$200,000 (RM895,180). The field of 144 players is made up of 80 from the ADT, 40 from the PGM, and 24 tournament invitations.

The leading Malaysian professional this week will pocket a RM10,000 bonus on top of the regular prize money, an added incentive that was introduced in 2023.

Four Malaysian professionals earned their starts though the ADT, namely Shahriffuddin Ariffin who won this event in 2022, Paul San, and two Seri Selangor ambassadors, Marcus Lim and Amir Nazrin.

Lim finished third at last year’s championship in his maiden professional start, picking up the RM10,000 bonus as best Malaysian, along with US$11,025 (RM49,346) from the regular prize pool. The 23-year-old talent is looking forward to another good week on his home course.

Commerce.Asia backs rise of creator-led brands with scalable execution model

Commerce.Asia executive chairman Ganesh Kumar Bangah said consumer trust is shifting away from traditional brands and increasingly toward creators, communities and personal relationships, driving the rapid rise of influencer-led businesses. However, he stressed that while launching a brand is easier today, scaling sustainably requires operational discipline, supply chain control, reliable fulfilment and structured capital planning. Speaking at the launch of vegan beauty brand Numinara by actress Diana Danielle, Ganesh said the brand’s RM1 million sales milestone in under six months highlights how creator-driven demand can translate into long-term growth when backed by strong execution and infrastructure.
