Governors Governors THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS THE ASIA PACIFIC BRANDS FOUNDATION Founded in 2005, the Asia Pacific Brands Foundation (APBF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing brands in a myriad of business backdrops. Led by its Patron, H.E. Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia’s fourth Prime Minister, together with a Board of Governors who are experienced captains of industries and H.E. Tun Dr. Mahathir Dr KKJohan Datuk Wira Jalilah Baba YM Raja Datuk Ropiaah Chew Bee Peng Ybhg. Tan Sri Dato’ Seri established brand icons. Mohamad President Advisor binti Raja Abdullah CEO Dr Aseh Che Mat Patron Secretary General Chairman The power of branding is a visual, auditory and sensory experience which is undoubtedly vital to the success of brands. Brands are catalysts that transcend achieving objectives, making profits or establishing one’s status so that it appeals to consumers. In reality, consumers’ buying preferences are determined by the way brands attract and engage them. It is crucial that organizations realize the significance of brands and branding. Likewise, consumers must also be educated and informed concerning the qualities of good brands and best-branding practices. This is where the APBF steps in to develop the ‘art of branding’. With aspirations to encourage the awareness of branding in Malaysia and across the world, the APBF takes an active role in identifying and nurturing outstanding Malaysian brands on an international platform. The Foundation continuously champions its mission to educate and communicate the ‘value of branding’ – with Tunku Dato’ Seri Tan Sri Datuk Seri Tan Sri Dato’ Hamad Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Tan Sri Leong Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Shahabuddin Tunku the concept that brand culture, combined with good practices, will give Malaysia the edge, even against the Tony Fernandes,OBE Kama Piah bin Che Dr. Teh Hong Piow Hoy Kum Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Paduka Dr. M. Mahadevan Besar Burhanuddin world’s most advanced nations. Othman Dr Lim Kok Wing Starting off on a modest note with publication of branding articles in print media, the APBF has gradually evolved into an association which organizes branding seminars and forums to discuss the latest issues and developments in branding. The commitment of the organization in encouraging the performance of businesses through branding has seen the launch of the Tun Dr. Mahathir - The BrandLaureate Lecture Series, with the aim of furthering the objectives of the APBF. After its establishment, the APBF has embarked upon a number of initiatives through The BrandLaureate to support its brand mission. Among the significant events initiated include The BrandLaureate Awards, first YBhg Tan Sri Datuk Tan Sri Datuk Puan Sri Datin Seri in 2006; for Multinationals (MNCs), Public Listed Companies (PLCs), Trans-National Corporations (TNCs), Rear Admiral Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dato’ Jimmy Choo, (Dr.) Haji Mustapha Dr. Augustine Dr. Susan S.C. Cheah Dato’ Anne Eu Tan Sri Dr Ramon Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Darshan Singh Gill OBE Government Linked Corporations (GLCs) and Large Corporations (LCs). With the success of the awards, the K. Thanabalasingam Kamal Ong Soon Hock Navaratnam APBF then launched The BrandLaureate – SMEs Chapter Awards (now renamed SMEs BestBrands Awards) to (Rtd) honour the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). A visionary organization, the APBF aims to continue to take branding into a new dimension via its heartfelt commitment and undying passion.

  • 1992.5 J32 2009 Generation Is the Format Adaptation, Whether Licensed Or Cloned
    Working Paper No. 35, August 2009 GLOBAL TELEVISION FORMAT: THE CASE OF AKADEMI FANTASIA .Tamilah Maliki Uni PN 1992.5 J32 2009 generation is the format adaptation, whether licensed or cloned. This is where a new local version is refashioned from the foreign program (2004: 157-158). In other words, format acts as a potent categorical tool to differentiate the various television programs as opposed to genre. On this note, Keane suggests that, "television formats have emerged over the past few years as an exemplary mode of flexible production within television systems outside [as well as within] the Western hemisphere" (2004: 13). Previously the mode of production relied heavily on revenue from the sale of a finished program. The term "format" has meaning because of what it "permits" or "facilitates" (Moran, 1998: 18). To Moran, format is important because it serves as an economic commodity and cultural technology of exchange. He furthermore points out that "fonnat is actually a regulatory mechanism in the international television industry" (ibid: 22). Thus, owners of formats register their product for copyright protection. With copyrighted formats, producers are able to sell and buy format libraries through licensing arrangements that provide them with solid legal protection. The global trade in fonnats is in many ways actually similar "to the business offranchising" (ibid: 21). In the case of the television format, the licensee adapts a program using local production crew and talents to suit local culture. Producers of global TV formats are not confined to the Western hemisphere, because they have become a global phenomenon. Japan, for instance, is actively involved in the global trade in television formats: The production of a program based on the format that is originally developed elsewhere is not conceived as disgraceful or second-rate any more.

    Jurnal Komunikasi, Malaysian Journal of Communication Jilid 26(2): 17-32 MALAYSIAN REALITY TV: BETWEEN MYTH AND REALITY JULIANA ABDUL WAHAB UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA Abstract The privatization policy that was introduced in 1983 by the Mahathir administration opened up the flood gates for the establishment of TV stations run on a commercial basis as well as for Malaysian media practitioners to produced more local programmes. However, most of the locally produced programmes tend to be mere copies of the western genres.The popularization of these genres is also an indicative of the process of the globalization that has taken place. Since 2000, Malaysian television industry has witnessed the mush- rooming of a ‘new’ television genre called reality TV. The ‘new’ genre was popularized by the introduction of reality TV game shows, namely Survivor and Amazing Race, which received favourable response from the Malaysian audiences. Subsequently, Malaysian’s first version of reality game show, Explorace was introduced on TV3. The phenomenon spreads rapidly in the later years. Satellite TV station Astro, on its part, has redefined and introduced a ver- sion of musical type reality TV, Akademi Fantasia which become a huge craze in Malaysia. Since then, more and more so-called reality TV shows within the musical programmes have inundated almost every local television channel. The study attempts to trace the development of locally produced reality TV shows and to as- sess this phenomenon within the context of the Malaysian televi- sion industry and within the process of globalization. Equally im- portant, the study seeks to uncover the myth and reality of the new genre.
