Carlsberg hosted a Chinese New Year dinner with its business partners and the media at Grand Imperial Restaurant @ The Club, Bukit Utama in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Guests were treated to an eight-course dinner which included the customary yee sang tossing and Carlsberg Danish Pilsner-marinated Iberico pork ribs, as well as a live band and DJ performance.

Present at the event were Carlsberg Malaysia legal and compliance director and company secretary Koh Poi San, human resources director Pauline Lim, marketing director Olga Pulyaeva, corporate affairs and sustainability director Pearl Lai, sales director Gary Tan, chief financial officer Vivian Gun Ling Ling and independent non-executive director Eric Ooi Lip Aun.

“Carlsberg has always been synonymous with celebrations, and we hope this coming lunar new year, every moment is made #BestWithCarlsberg,” said Carlsberg Malaysia managing director Stefano Clini.

“This CNY we continue ‘Brewing Prosperity Together’ with our consumers. We wish them an amazing year filled with good fortune, health and happiness.

“Even our artist-edition packaging extends across Malaysia, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Vietnam representing our desire to brew prosperity together across the region.

“The key word again for this year is ‘Together’ because together, we are going to make it a great year and we are going to prosper together.

“May the Year of the Dragon bring success for everyone and let us soar into a great year ahead.”
