#iAMuniq CELEBRATES MALAYSIA DAY

- EDITOR kc.yap@burda.com.my

LAST MONTH, we celebrated our nation’s Independen­ce with a special feature dedicated to individual­s of different racial background­s who are carrying our traditions into the future. This month, in commemorat­ion of the establishm­ent of the Malaysian federation in 1963, August Man has taken a more diverse and inclusive approach to celebratin­g Malaysia Day by collaborat­ing with fashion revolution­ary Azreezal Hafidz, conceptual photograph­er Daniel Adams and LifeWear brand Uniqlo, and presenting the latest generation of Malaysians who are embracing their difference­s and unique sense of self, and redefining our national identity.

At the same time, we are proud to have our national and Olympic sailor Khairulniz­am Afendy on our cover. In his exclusive interview with August Man, dressed in Rado’s Captain Cook timepiece and Bottega Veneta, Khairulniz­am talks about his continued preparatio­n for the Olympics, despite the competitio­n’s postponeme­nt to 2021. His cover is complement­ed by another featuring K-pop sensation Jackson Wang, star of Cartier’s new and diverse “Pasha Community” campaign.

And last but not least, we invite you to dive into our 2020 edition of MVMT and discover the latest offerings in the world of watches and the industry’s commitment to perseveran­ce and innovation, especially in these trying times.

Enjoy!
