Crazy Mic Star Singing Competition 2026 Celebrates Talent and Community at Imago Shopping Mall

-


The atmosphere at Imago Shopping Mall recently came alive with music, energy and rising vocal talent during the Crazy Mic Star Singing Competition 2026, an event that brought together performers, supporters and music lovers for a vibrant day of entertainment.


A distinguished panel of judges lent their expertise to the competition, including TVB artist and singer Zev, singer, pianist and music educator Liz Wong, and special guest Sheela B. Their presence added both credibility and star quality, offering contestants valuable insights and encouragement throughout the programme.


In recognition of her contribution, Liz Wong was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation, honouring her role in supporting and nurturing emerging performers. The gesture reflected the organisers’ gratitude and the collaborative spirit that defined the event.


The competition was proudly sponsored by Dr. Yap Hai Yong, Founder and CEO of CZM Group, whose support played a key role in making the event possible. With strong backing from sponsors and organisers, the programme successfully created a platform for aspiring singers to showcase their passion and talent in a professional and encouraging environment.


Beyond the performances, the event also served as a lively gathering point for the community, reminding audiences that music has a unique way of bringing people together. Voices filled the space, applause echoed through the venue, and for a few hours, The Oval at Imago transformed into a small universe powered by rhythm, confidence and dreams taking their first steps onto the stage.


As Sabah continues to nurture creative talent and community-driven events, programmes like Crazy Mic Star demonstrate how collaboration, sponsorship and artistic passion can come together to create meaningful experiences for both performers and audiences alike.

The programme centred largely on new members stepping forward to introduce themselves and share their current roles, while several long-standing members also took the opportunity to reconnect and re-establish professional ties in a relaxed setting.

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 ...
