SAID BARRIE GOODRIDGE, CEO OF EDIPRESSE ASIA, "IT IS A PITY OUR SPECIAL ADVISOR TUNKU DARA TUNKU NAQUIAH TUANKU JAAFAR IS UNABLE TO BE WITH IS TONIGHT AS SHE IS OVERSEAS. WE WISH TO THANK EVERYONE TONIGHT FOR MAKING TATLER MALAYSIA THE SUCCESS IT IS TODAY.
"It has been 23 great years since Tatler Malaysia was launched in 1989. Of course looking back some may balk at what they wore at that time but remember...we have all your photos in our archives!
"I wish to thank our friends and sponsors like Mrs Rosemarie Wee, regional PR director of Shangri-La hotels and resorts, Razak of Flora Etc, Lancome, L'Oreal, Lalique and Moet for the fine champagne."
Other sponsors were Samsung, Jimmy Choo, Mulberry, Noritake, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Salvatore Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton and Hublot.
Goodridge promised a fabulous evening with exciting dance pair Angelina and Belman who heated up the dancefloor in addition to the annual awards which are the most sought after and prestigious titles in Malaysia's high society. Music was provided by the band Skyhigh which reminded me of the new James Bond movie Skyfall.
The evening started with DI (Dance Instructors) from Philippines as many Datins and Puan Sris enjoy dancing and their spouses prefer cigars from FWC Connoisseurs so the DIs are a godsend.
The Couple of the Year are HH Princess Tengku Zatashah, daughter of the Sultan of Selangor and her French husband Aubry Rahim Mennesson. Said the princess in her acceptance speech, "My husband are I are not only life partners but business partners. We are together practically 24/7. To many, this is insanity but being together always makes for better partners."
The Most Stylish Woman of the Year was Marion Caunter who received a gown abd accessories from Salvatore Ferragamo who was Guest of Honour at the opening of the new Ferragamo store at Isetan The Gardens. No wonder Ferragamo was all over her at the opening as they must have known she was going to win the coveted Most Stylish Woman of the Year which means Ferragamo will benefit too as this classy and elegant label is beloved by sophisticated women the world over.
Looking ravishing and slim despite having given birth recently, Marion Caunter said, "I am so lucky as my husband is the sort of guy who can walk into boutiques here in KL and overseas and says, "Hey I think this will look good on my wife"! He not only buys me clothes but shoes, bags and accessories."
Doubtless a Cartier diamond or Van Cleef & Arpels bling as hubby is SM Nasaruddin, Chairman of Naza Group of Companies. No wonder Marion is permanently clad in designer couture and toting limited edition bags and gleaming in jewels.
Said Ruben Gnanalingam, winner of Entrepreneur Par Excellence Award, "I think I am just following the family tradition as my wife Shirieene Hajamaideen was Tatler's Most Stylish Woman of the Year 2011 and my father Tan Sri Gnanalingam was Tatler's 18 Years at the Top in 2007 so I am just following in their footsteps and keeping up with the family's achievements."
His mother Puan Sri Siew Yong Gnanalingam is known for her kindness and chraitable works and is a Tibetan Buddhist with her good friend Lillian Too, the world's greatest English speaking feng shui author and master.
