Blink and it’s the end of the year. Just like that, we’ve come full circle and back to The Giving Issue. As we wrap up 2024, now’s a good time to reflect (or at least try to, amid all the year-end merry-making) and think about what it really means to give. More than material, giving can show up as kindness, or express itself through time and support. Giving with heart can be as simple as sharing an encouraging word. As the Malay adage goes, ‘niat tu penting’. If there’s anything that makes me proudly Malaysian, it’s that we’ll always look out for each other. We’ve seen it happen countless times since the COVID-19 pandemic days of the #KitaJagaKita movement. Our cover star this month, Shen-tel Lee, embodies that spirit of giving in style. In fact, her ongoing charities were born of the collective efforts of everyday Malaysians. A fashion darling on the KL scene, Shen-tel Lee proves that social media, when used correctly, can create meaningful change (Page 42). Alongside her are many others with a heart for giving; and we’re celebrating their contributions this month. Read about the sporting philanthropists making their respective sports more accessible (Page 120) or the six Malaysians who’ve made it their call to serve our various communities from children to coral reefs (Page 34). Perhaps they’ll inspire you to get involved in something meaningful and worthwhile this coming new year. If there’s one resolution I’ll be making, personally, it’ll be to do better and be better. Well, that’s my intention for 2025, for whatever it’s worth. Stay kind to each other. Merry Christmas. 

We enter a world of fantasy this month, where imagination in luxury knows no bounds. Whimsy meets luxury in celestial timepieces and animalistic jewellery, while travel to storybook locales are the order of the month. PRESTIGE also casts the spotlight on the effervescent and multi-faceted Melissa Mae Lyn. Known for her vibrant spirit and artistic flair, this IP lawyer and new mum embodies the magic of a life well lived.

Living in the fast lane often overshadows life’s simple pleasures, so let this issue serves as a  reminder of the meaningful connections and moments of joy that shape our existence. We show you how to go on a 'dopamine drive' (exemplified by the thrilling Maserati MC20), gather insights from 13 gourmands on the finest culinary delights to be found in seven cities across the region, and even go on a trip to Portugal's Douro Valley for happiness we can imbibe in. You'll find it all in The Delight Issue.

This September, immerse yourself in all that's resplendent. for 'the Dazzle Issue', we turn our attention to the PRESTIGE 40 Under 40 list that shines a spotlight on the rising stars redefining myriad Malaysian industries, from art and fashion to education and science. But what's a September issue without the fashion? Our Autumn/Winter '24 trend reports unveil the season's standout fashion movements and the biggest horological developments setting the stage for a dazzling season ahead.

Themed 'The Vision Issue', this edition of PRESTIGE is all about the dreamers and explorers. We chat with key figures in art, sports, and watchmaking who are shaping the future of luxury and their respective fields.

PRESTIGE starts the year with a dose of freshness. The theme comes alive as the pages unfurl a tapestry of innovation and sophistication in the realms of luxury living from watches to cars to handbags, welcoming you into a realm where timepieces transcend functionality, becoming wearable art, while exquisite jewelry pieces blossom with narratives of heritage and modernity. Interviews with visionary creators offer an intimate peek into a world where opulence meets ingenuity too. Between an exclusive interview with Horacio Pagani himself to an exclusive cover featuring Alexandre and Amanda Mille of Richard Mille, and even one with Richard Black of Martell, this edition is a celebration of the 'fresh'—an ode to the perpetual evolution and timeless allure of luxury.

The greatest gifts don’t come wrapped in paper and ribbon. In this edition of PRESTIGE, we amplify the heart of our community—the act of giving. Explore the initiatives of local and international visionaries, particularly our cover star Dato’ Sri Dr Farah Khan, who are a seamless blend of elegance and altruism.
