SHAH ALAM, Nov 16 ― Ever since home appliance brand Cuckoo made its Malaysian debut in October 2014, the South Korean company has achieved tremendous growth.

To commemorate Cuckoo International (Mal) Sdn Bhd’s fourth anniversary, the company hosted a full-day celebration for its employees, customers, business partners and members of the media.

Held at Wisma MBSA in Shah Alam, the celebration kicked off with the presentation of certificates from the Malaysia Book of Records for setting records for “Shortest Time for a Multi-cooker to Cook Gaba Rice” and “First In and Out Auto Electrolytic Sterilisation System in Water Purifier.”

The certificates were awarded to Cuckoo Indonesia chief executive officer and Cuckoo Malaysia overseas sales director Toh Seng Lee and domestic sales director Mak Wai Hoong respectively.

In conjunction with joyous occasion, the company also contributed RM100,000 to Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) under its Biasiswa Cuckoo initiative, a corporate scholarship programme to sponsor eight students.

Following a video presentation about the programme, a mock cheque was presented to UPM alumni centre director Professor Dr Hazandy Abdul Hamid by Cuckoo’s natural chief officers Hazman Zakaria, Shirley Khoo, Michael Lee, Mak and Toh.
