JCPR has helped Trophy Knives with their PR for almost two years. What started as a passion project and a love for the punk scene, has turned into a great relationship between the band and the agency.
Malaysians are familiar with “Warisan”, a song about patriotism that was delivered by the late Sudirman – a legendary singer.
During discussions on the production of Poova’s debut Malay single Karya and music video, we thought it would be fun to release a version of Warisan for Merdeka and Malaysia day. We all think it’s a great song and wanted to produce our version to introduce it to the new generation of Malaysian music fans. ‘Warisan’ was written by the late Syed Haron Syed Ahmad and included in Sudirman’s 1982 album called ‘Abadi’.
Warisan was received so well by the Malaysian audience and the Media. Total PR value for Warisan reached RM2m within two weeks of its release.

Tarik Jeans (Tarik) is a homegrown streetwear premium denim brand that embraces the Malaysian and Nusantara identity of diversity.
Founded in Penang, Malaysia in 2010, Tarik is regarded as a pioneer of the country’s streetwear scene and immediately received a lot of attention. This mainly came from the cultivated Malaysian youth, especially those in tune with street fashion and an interest in denim.
The brand was inspired by Afiq Iskandar, who is also a member of the rock band, Oh Chentaku! (OCK). His passion for music and Malaysian culture laid the foundations for Tarik.

After one-year hiatus, Malaysia’s premiere food event also dubbed the biggest nasi lemak event in the world, I Eat Nasi Lemak was back in 2016.
Organised by friedchillies.com, an award-winning food website that’s been around since 1998 under FriedChillies Media, the one- day event was held on 5th November 2016 at TM Convention Centre, Bangsar.
Due to the overwhelming response in previous years, the nasi lemak action was amped up from featuring only 20 to now 40 of the best nasi lemak sellers in Malaysia under one roof – this time with more vendors from outside the Klang Valley such as Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, Penang and Perak.
All vendors are specially curated via a selection process that started in early 2016 by FriedChillies’ team of nasi lemak experts and enthusiasts.
Jiman was also the PR lead for FriedChillies’ fried chicken event held called Ayam Lejen and the Cyberjaya Makan Fest in 2019
