Chef Wan says he's not just a face for Chef Wan brand

Chef Wan retains 20% equity stake, full creative control

Celebrity chef Datuk Dr Redzuawan Ismail, better known as Chef Wan, has reaffirmed his long-term commitment to his culinary ventures by retaining a 20% equity stake and full creative control of De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan and Café Chef Wan.

The announcement comes after Oasis Harvest Corp Bhd's acquisition of the group’s operating arm, Metta Food & Lifestyle Sdn Bhd.

The confirmation comes amid the group’s aggressive expansion drive, backed by Oasis Harvest’s capital strength and operational infrastructure.

Redzuawan, speaking at the exclusive preview of the new Iconic Malaysian Evening Buffet at De.Wan 1958 @ BSC, emphasised that the partnership is designed to scale the business without compromising its core identity.

“I want to be very clear: I am not just a face for this brand; I remain a committed shareholder. This partnership allows us to grow without losing our soul.

“My 20% stake is my promise to our customers that I am still here, safeguarding the authenticity, quality, and Malaysian identity that earned us our Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition,” The Star quoted him as saying.

He added that the partnership with Oasis Harvest provides the resources needed to take the vision further than before.

Meanwhile, Oasis Harvent executive director Ch’ng Eu Vern said: “This is a partnership of respect and ambition. Chef Wan’s continued equity stake and active involvement provide critical continuity and credibility. Our role is to provide the platform for growth—responsibly and strategically.”

“We are combining Chef Wan’s culinary genius with Oasis’s operational machinery to build a Malaysian-led F&B platform that can capture the tourism recovery and the growing demand for authentic local cuisine,” he said.

Looking ahead, De.Wan and Café Chef Wan will serve as key pillars of Oasis Harvest’s broader lifestyle and hospitality strategy, with plans to expand into key high-traffic locations.

Australian political analyst says Malaysian PM's political party, PKR is in collapse

Image
While Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is on an official visit to Italy, Spain and Brazil to attend the BRICS summit, his own Peoples’ Justice Party (PKR) is in rapid collapse at home. News is emerging from chat groups and pundits there are mass branch resignations of members across more than 200 branches nationwide. Some branches just don’t exist anymore. The party vote for deputy president, where Puan Nurul Izzah Anwar, Anwar Ibrahim’s daughter challenged incumbent Rafizi Ramli, who was minister of economy until he resigned a few weeks ago showed that some 16,000 members out of 30,000 eligible, did not even bother to vote in this nationally publicized dual. This just indicates the level of apathy within PKR itself, with such an important event for the future of the party. PKR has gradually been losing electoral support since 2013. In the 2014 general election PKR received 20.39 percent of the national aggregate vote, and in 2022 PKR only received 15.72 percent of the...

MAHATHIR MAY REJOIN UMNO

Image
What Mahathir expected did not happen Initially, Mahathir Mohamad thought his party – PPBM (Bersatu) – could  morph  into a new version of UMNO. After all, it was him who brilliantly destroyed the original UMNO in 1988 and created “UMNO Baru” (the current UMNO version 2.0). But unlike in 1988, Mr. Mahathir had quit UMNO to form PPBM on 8 September 2016, and was no longer in charge of UMNO. UMNO won four times higher than Bersatu in GE14 Hence, after he leveraged on opposition Pakatan Harapan and stunningly defeated the scandal-plagued Najib government, his first priority was  recruiting  UMNO MPs to join his party. UMNO, although lost miserably, still won 54 parliamentary seats in the May 2018 General Election – more than 4 times the number of seats Mahathir’s party managed to capture. PPBM the worst among four strategic parties Mahathir’s party won  only 13 seats  out of the 52 Parliamentary seats it contested in the 2018 poll. That’s ...

Ketua Pemuda UMNO ajak Ahli MKT UMNO bertumbuk

Image
Dua tokoh parti politik yang sukar dipisahkan dari imej rasuah , semakin panas bertelagah Rentak Madani 🎵 Akhbar Sinar Harian melaporkan semalam bahawa Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh mencabar Ahli Majlis Kerja Tertinggi (MKT) UMNO,  Datuk Lokman Noor Adam  supaya berdepan dengannya sama ada di mahkamah ataupun di gelanggang, berikutan tuduhan kononnya beliau mempunyai agenda tersembunyi untuk menaikkan  Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein  sebagai Perdana Menteri. Amaran itu dibuat selepas Lokman secara terbuka menggelar beliau sebagai ‘Ketua Pemuda H20’ dalam satu wawancara bersama sebuah platform baru-baru ini. Menurut Muhamad Akmal, Lokman kini mempunyai dua pilihan, sama ada menjawab saman beliau di mahkamah ataupun bertemu di gelanggang bagi menyelesaikan isu berkenaan. “Kamu ada dua pilihan. Pilihan pertama, kita lawan di mahkamah. Aku saman kamu," cabar Akmal. Lokman berpendapat, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Merlimau itu menggunakan kelebih...

Isu Stadium Shah Alam, suami Hannah Yeoh dapat kontrak, parkir, terkini babi — faktor penyumbang PH kalah di PRN akan datang

Image
Lebih kurang UMNO juga Satu demi satu isu mencurigakan berlaku di Selangor. Pada mulanya Pakatan Harapan (PH) disangka akan membuat pembaharuan. Rupanya lebih kurang UMNO juga. Jika UMNO sudah dihukum rakyat di Selangor, maka sudah tiba giliran PH pula. Seperti tajuk di atas, isu Stadium Shah Alam, suami Menteri DAP Puan Hannah Yeoh dapat kontrak, kontroversi pemilik syarikat parkir, dan terkini kontroversi ladang babi dijangka akan menjadi faktor penyumbang PH kalah di PRN akan datang. Semalam,  MalaysiaGazette melaporkan b ekas Ketua Penerangan UMNO Selangor Encik Isham Jalil menyarankan Menteri Besar Selangor, para Exco Kerajaan Negeri dan penyokongnya supaya berpindah ke Bukit Tagar, kawasan berdekatan ladang babi yang menimbulkan kontroversi. Dengan tindakan berkenaan, barulah kepimpinan Selangor akan memahami bantahan  penduduk  Selangor terhadap cadangan untuk menjadikan negeri berkenaan sebagai pengeksport babi terbesar ke Singapura. “ Selepas   itu   b...

Kesian Ismail Sabri, bila dah kelihatan kantoi, semua rakan "se-projek" dari UMNO-BN-PN membisu, hilang entah ke mana

BEGITULAH RESAM DUNIA Mereka membisu dipercayai untuk menyelamatkan diri masing-masing. Adakah dia menjadi kambing hitam Kumpulan Tebuk Atap para individu pelbagai parti? Tunggulah PRU akan datang. Hassan Karim pun pernah berkata Ismail Sabri pemimpin hebat. Salah satu jasa dia ialah campur tangan beri pilihan kepada pengguna membayar tol di lebuh raya. Kalau tidak, semua orang kena beli dan pakai RFID.  Selepas UMNO, Barisan Nasional (BN) pula tampil menegaskan bahawa parti gabungan itu tiada sebarang kaitan dengan kes rasuah dan pengubahan wang haram membabitkan bekas Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, demikian menurut laporan media. Seperti dilapor Malaysiakini , Setiausaha Agung BN, Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir berkata dia juga tidak menerima sebarang pemakluman berkaitan mana-mana pihak cuba mengaitkan kes dihadapi bekas naib presiden UMNO itu . "(Setakat ini) tak adalah yang kita dengar hal sedemikian (mana-mana pihak mengaitkan kes Ismail Sabri dengan BN)...

OVERCONCENTRATION OF A MALAY POPULATION MAKES SHAH ALAM A GHOST CITY, SAYS ANALYST

Image
Shah Alam City YESTERDAY, FMT reported that the capital city of Selangor had become very quiet, slow and almost no business, many buildings unoccupied, which one of them only utilised by less than ten staff of a company. Some factories closed down, businesses from petty traders to big timers closed shops for the past six months and so on. Even foreign business people from Indonesia and Pakistan decided to go back to their respective countries or moved to other places. A prominent business analyst, in his blog wrote that one of the reasons for the downfall of Shah Alam was the government's policy in overconcentrating a Malay population in the said city. Syed Albar Ali also suggested other reasons as well. Below is the write-up as published by OutSyed The Box on 30 January 2020. Syed Akbar Ali's comments :   Just the other day Forest City announced 400 staff were being let go.  Could it be because things are not so great anymore? D...

A lawyer's personal opinion on Tommy Thomas' controversial book

Image
  Read it while you still can REVIEW - *"My Story: Justice in the Wilderness" by Tommy Thomas* SPOILERS (Then again, it's a memoir, so does that really count? But you've been warned). Well I'll cut to the chase. I loved the book. But I think a huge part of why I loved it is because I also happen to be a lawyer, a litigator, and a keen follower of Malaysian politics. It doesn't hurt either that Tommy Thomas' values for the most part, align with mine. It's an honest book, in the sense that he really doesn't bother mincing his words or sparing anyone's feelings (that should be apparent by now, given the number of people who have lodged complaints, filed police reports, and threatened to sue him over the book). Reading it gives you the impression that Tommy Thomas really doesn't care (or if you're French, DGAF). And that for me, was the most compelling reason why I stayed up 2 nights in a row to finish this book (at 500+ pages, it's pre...

Berita setiausaha politik Ismail Sabri dijumpai bersama wang tunai RM150 juta belum dapat disahkan

Image
Di waktu diberitakan bekas perdana menteri Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob menerima rawatan di sebuah hospital semalam, selepas pengsan dan tidak sedar, timbul pula pengedaran aktif banyak kali berita seperti di atas di media sosial menerusi platform WhatsApp. Ismail Sabri dikejarkan ke pusat perubatan swasta selepas dilaporkan rebah secara tiba-tiba pada tengah malam kelmarin. Gambar fail BERNAMA Tidak mustahil ada pihak sengaja memprovokasi dan mengeksploitasi perkembangan kesihatan Ahli Parlimen Bera itu dengan kisah yang memperlihatkan ciri-ciri amalan rasuah. Namun bukan juga ini bermakna berita itu tidak benar. Mungkin juga ia benar-benar berlaku. Timbul juga tanda tanya, sebagai ahli parlimen biasa, adakah beliau masih mempunyai setiausaha politik? Kita tunggu maklum balas dari pihak berkenaan serta laporan rasmi dari media selepas ini. Ismail Sabri kini dalam keadaan stabil dan masih dirawat di sebuah pusat perubatan swasta di Subang Jaya. Terdahulu, media melaporkan Ismail ...

Satu demi satu agamawan problematik muncul, terkini Dr Mashitah Ibrahim

Image
Selamat menyertai Kelab Agamawan Problematik Nampaknya seorang lagi tokoh agamawan, pendakwah, penceramah motivasi keagamaan dan ilmuwan agama kelihatan terjebak di arena kontroversi berkaitan perlanggaran undang-undang negara yang serius. Jika sabit kesalahan, membolehkan seseorang pesalah dihukum penjara. Bagaimanapun, ini baru di peringkat siasatan. Oleh itu, ikutilah perkembangannya tanpa prejudis.  Itulah Datuk Dr Mashitah Ibrahim ( gambar, atas ), bekas menteri dari Barisan Nasional, pernah menjadi ahli Parlimen Baling, Kedah. Kepopularan Mashitah bermula di era 80an apabila sering muncul menjadi panel penceramah agama dalam rancangan TV Forum Perdana terbitan RTM serta lain-lain program ketika itu. Kegemilangan Mashitah berada di puncak selepas dilamar kerajaan memerintah, seterusnya bertanding di pilihan raya, menang menjadi ahli Parlimen dan seterusnya dilantik sebagai timbalan menteri. Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, media melaporkan  Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) ...
