SAMSUNG MALAYSIA ELECTRONICS recently announced a new initiative – “A Rising Star” – to inspire and unite Malaysian youth, our rising stars, through a memorable one-of-a-kind experience. As a global leader in mobile technologies, A Rising Star demonstrates Samsung Malaysia’s commitment to enhancing the local art and music industry by providing an avenue for today’s youth to truly enjoy art and music – leveraging the unique features of the Galaxy A32, Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72.
Arts and music, in particular, is at the core of youth culture and plays an important role in advancing their socialisation and creative self-expression. Not only does this campaign aim to bring together young people in Malaysia through their shared passion and appreciation for local art and music, it also draws forth youth’s potential and unite people from all walks of life.
“Youth today are influencing trends we are seeing in culture and those trends are ideated, inspired and created with their smartphones. Their drive to create never stops and Samsung’s innovative technologies are the perfect companion for young people in Malaysia and around the world, encouraging them to channel their creativity and pursue their passions and dreams,” said Elaine Soh, Chief Marketing Officer of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.
Through this initiative, Samsung will mobilise a range of activities that will happen in efforts to allow youths to capture and experience exceptional moments.
Encouraging local music with Universal Music Malaysia
Universal Music Malaysia and Samsung are ecstatic to announce the launch of a music video (MV) by an up-and-coming local artist – Raya-themed MV titled Raya Raya Raya by Malaysian heartthrob girl group DOLLA.
Raya Raya Raya MV touches on the contrast of traditional and modern styles celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri where the rapid technology innovations of today have shaped how the important day is celebrated, especially the significance of social media tools and platforms in influencing interactions between family and friends.

Additionally, Samsung and Universal Music will also be working together on activations that will empower youth in achieving their dreams in the music industry, one involving another rising local artistes, Jeii Pong and Gaston Pong, also known as “PongPong”.
KL City takeover powered by Samsung Galaxy A
As part of Samsung’s effort to brighten up the city, Samsung partnered with talented mural artists to, quite literally, paint the town.
Several iconic buildings across KL City have gone through a massively fun makeover. Murals painted on buildings such as the REX KL building in Chinatown no longer sport old and dull grey paint. It is now covered in bright murals featuring fun characters and colors that accurately represent the culture of Malaysia from renowned artist, Orkibal. As for the magical transformation of Drop Inn Lodge at Jalan Tun HS Lee, it is the brainchild of an outstanding graffiti whiz, Lowkey.
Another iconic architecture, the Zhongshan Art Building will also go through the same beautification by well-known mural artist, Bono Stellar and is scheduled to be completed by end of May 2021.
