Perfecting the Official Opening of SugarBun Express at EG Mall, Inanam

-

The official opening of SugarBun Express at EG Mall, Inanam marks another meaningful milestone for one of Sabah’s most recognisable homegrown brands. This latest outlet is the 165th SugarBun outlet nationwide, reflecting the brand’s steady momentum and strong consumer confidence across Malaysia.

Looking ahead, SugarBun has set an ambitious growth plan, with 40 new outlets targeted over the next three years, reinforcing its position as a resilient and forward-looking franchise brand.

What makes this opening especially inspiring is the spirit of youth entrepreneurship behind it. Two of the three franchise partners of SugarBun Express Inanam are just 26 years old, already stepping confidently into the role of job creators by providing employment opportunities to 10 staff members at this outlet. It is a powerful reminder that franchising continues to be a viable platform for young Malaysians to build businesses, leadership, and livelihoods.

FAVSTYLE applauds SugarBun’s journey as a Sabah-born franchise brand that continues to grow not only nationwide but with promising potential beyond Malaysia’s borders. May SugarBun continue to thrive, innovate, and represent Sabah proudly on larger stages to come.

Love in Every Cup of Coffee - Where Every Cup Tells the Story of Sabah

Image
In 2020, as the global pandemic swept across the world, uncertainty clouded the future. Flights were grounded, businesses stalled, and many plans were put on hold. Yet for some, this period became a turning point. In Sabah’s rural landscape, a quiet but determined coffee dream was taking root. Located in the interior of Sabah, Nature Coffee Farm began as a humble experiment driven by passion, persistence, and belief in the land. What started with curiosity soon evolved into a long-term commitment: to cultivate coffee that truly reflects Sabah’s soil, climate, and spirit. Coffee That Grows With the Land Coffee trees require patience. From planting to harvesting, the process takes years before results are visible. At Nature Coffee Farm, the team carefully nurtures each plant without rushing nature. The coffee cherries are grown in harmony with the environment, allowing the land to dictate the rhythm rather than industrial timelines. The founders believe coffee is honest. It reflects how ...

An evening of gratitude, cultural continuity, and leadership shaped by vision

An evening shaped by gratitude, continuity, and purpose. I attended a thanksgiving reception and contribution presentation held in honour of Chinese community associations within the Penampang Parliamentary constituency, a gathering that carried both civic weight and cultural grace. My sincere appreciation goes to the Penampang Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCCI), under the leadership of its President, Mr Victor Kou, for graciously hosting the dinner. The evening reflected the strength of community leadership when tradition meets contemporary responsibility. In my capacity as the Member of Parliament for Penampang, I presented a total allocation of RM155,000 to 25 Chinese community associations within the constituency. This initiative emerged from earlier dialogues with the Kapitans of Penampang, whose collective efforts also anchor the organisation of the Penampang Chinese New Year Celebration and the Lantern Festival. These are not merely events, but living expressions o...

Beyond the Scroll: Why Blogs Still Matter in a Short-Attention World By FAVSTYLE Editorial

-
Image
In an era dominated by speed, swipes, and shrinking attention spans, it is tempting to dismiss blogs as a relic of an earlier digital age. Yet, beneath the noise of algorithms and trend cycles, blogs continue to perform a role few platforms can replace: they endure . Blogs are not designed for momentary applause. They are built as evergreen assets , quietly accumulating value long after publication. While social media posts enjoy brief moments of visibility before fading into digital oblivion, a well-structured blog article remains searchable, readable, and relevant. It becomes part of the internet’s long memory. From an SEO perspective, blogs remain one of the most powerful organic tools available. Search engines reward depth, clarity, and authority—qualities that short-form content cannot sustain. Blogs allow brands to own narratives, capture long-tail search intent, and establish subject-matter credibility. Every article is a permanent digital footprint, capable of resurfacing month...
