Augustman Malaysia Magazine - August 2023

In this issue

Leading the lineup this month is Augustman Men of the Year award-recipient and filmmaker Adrian Teh, alongside three of the cast from his latest tour de force Malbatt: Misi Bakara, starring Bront Palarae, Shaheizy Sam and Iedil Putra. Despite the long years that Hollywood has whitewashed the real-life rescue of American soldiers by the Malaysian contingent in the Battle of Mogadishu with the film Black Hawk Down, Adrian has taken it upon himself to tell the true story of the historic events.
In addition, Augustman is proud to present the latest batch of combat sports heroes who are making a difference in Malaysia, both in the ring and in their communities, across the disciplines of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, boxing and sambo.
In anticipation of the debut of breaking at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Augustman is proudly presents the latest talent to join the Malaysian contingent, Khenobu, on the cover of MVMT, celebrating the shared values between watchmaking and dance, namely movement, rhythm and precision. Watches and Wonders 2023 expanded public access with 2 full days dedicated to fans outside the industry and, for the first time, went above and beyond its traditional programme by taking the fair to the streets of Geneva.
