Showtime by Kelly Siew ala Lampe Berger!
Since Julie Lim of Jubilant Prestige Sdn Bhd was awarded the master franchise of Lampe Berger for Malaysia and Brunei, she has worked indefatigably to resurrect the Lampe Berger business in Malaysia which was practically at death's door after a hugely successful run some 15 years ago when Lampe Berger was a massive hit in Malaysia.
The good news for Lampe Berger fans and curious wanna-try people is that the lamps and oils are much CHEAPER than before!
A spiffy, nice lamp starts from around RM 200 while a 1-litre bottle of essential oil is only RM 138. Previously you would be looking at around RM 400 for a basic bottle and over RM 200 for the same 1-litre bottle of rpecious essential oil! And there are 43 scents to choose from so I know you will go gaga like me deciding which ones so do like me---buy 10 different bottles at one go! They last forever so there is no 'Use By' time limit and you will be cocooned in fragranced safety and comfort during these crazy, dazy, hazy days! So stay indoors with Lampe Berger and listen to jazzy music as the haze outside knocks the rest off their feet!

Welcome to Lampe Berger
soiree at Time Kulture.
First and foremost, I would
like to thank the Trade Commissioner of France in
Malaysia, Monsieur François Matraire for
gracing this event and also the Valiram Group for organising Time Kulture.
As Lampe Berger Malaysia
celebrates our 1st anniversary in retail, I took this opportunity to
bring all of you to this wonderful soiree.
Like the distinguished time
pieces you see here this evening, Lampe Berger is also very much a product of
luxury and style.
Lampe Berger Paris is
a hundred and fifteen year old French company that has worked with the world’s
greatest glass artisans including Lalique, Barracat and Daum in the creation of
its lamps. Today, some of these pieces have become collectors’ items and even
art pieces at the Christie’s auction house.
Though Lampe Berger was
originally created for use in the French hospitals mainly to kill bacteria,
germs and viruses. It is today more than just an advanced form of
aromatheraphy. Lampe Berger continues to work with renowned designers to create
special edition and signature pieces for collectors around the world.
Tonight, you will see some
of the latest collection displayed at the respective watch galleries with more
at our pop-up kiosk right above these stairs at the Pavilion KL entrance. And
you will also be delighted to know the air that you are breathing here tonight
is clean as we are diffusing the amber fragrance for your benefit.
Lampe Berger was a huge
commercial success in Malaysia for over a decade under multi-level marketing
but it faded over time and only made a comeback last year when Jubilant
Prestige took over the distributorship in Malaysia. We managed to open 12
retail stores in major malls throughout Malaysia within a year with more to
come in the next few months. I must thank my distributors, as we could not have
achieved this without their support.
Before I became a
distributor, I was an ardent collector and user of Lampe Berger products. And
because it is such a wonderful product, my aim is to make it easily available
to the public who can benefit much from its use. Like in the recent case of the
haze hazard, many could benefit from the use of Lampe Berger where its catalytic
combustion burner has a unique diffusion ability to breakdown molecules and
purify the air around us.
This evening as we celebrate
our 1st anniversary in retail, I am pleased to announce a roadshow
that will take Lampe Berger products on a nationwide tour to many more major
shopping malls to promote and educate the public about this product.
I am also pleased to
announce Lampe Berger Malaysia’s pledge to support the breast cancer initiative
in Malaysia, through a one year fund raising effort. A portion of our sales of
lamps and oils will be channelled towards this cause. Many lives, especially
women, can be saved from early detection and action. I especially applaud the
good work done by breast cancer support groups spearheaded by people like Puan
Sri Akmal Saleh and Ms Ranjit Pritam. I am most pleased that we at Jubilant
Prestige are able to play a part in helping these groups.
Today, we are pleased to
donate our initial RM10,000 collected through the pre-sale of our Carat Premium Coffret lamps and essential
oils. I would like to thank those who had kindly supported this initiative and
I encourage more to come forward and support this cause.
In
closing, I wish all of you a good evening and please enjoy yourself.
THANK YOU.

Speech for Monsieur François Matraire, Trade Commissionner - Commercial
Counsellor of the French Trade Commission - UBIFRANCE Malaysia on the occasion
of the Lampe Berger’s 1st anniversary in retail at Pavilion Kuala
Lumpur
_______________________________________________________
Good evening, distinguished guests and members of the
media,
I would like to start by thanking my gracious host, Ms
Julie Lim, CEO of Jubilant Prestige Sdn Bhd for the opportunity to share in
this joyous and auspicious occasion in celebration of Lampe Berger Malaysia’s 1st
anniversary in retail.
It is indeed an honour to attend this wonderful event that
is held in such high esteem by Malaysian high society as well as Malaysian and
French commercial and trade partners.
The French Ambassador to Malaysia, Her
Excellency Madame Martine Dorance herself was present at the launch of Lampe
Berger Malaysia at the House of Tatiana a year ago. Regretfully she is unable
to attend today due to a prior engagement.
France has always been a country steeped in age-old
cultural traditions and we revel in our scientific and artistic creations that
have made waves internationally and have pride of place in buildings and homes
worldwide.
Lampe Berger is proudly Parisian and I am happy to note
that this accolades and multi prestigious prize winning creation initially
formulated by Maurice Berger to purify and cleanse hospital environments in
1898 has since gone on to beautify and purify the air and homes of many an art
collector as a decorative item.
In fact, the unique diffuser lamp is fast making its way
across the world as is evident in Malaysia whereby 12 retail stores are already
offering this exclusive French product in major malls across the country,
including one outlet in The Mall, Brunei. And if I understand Ms Lim’s plans
correctly, by mid-2014, Lampe Berger will have 20 stores in Malaysia, which
will effectively promote the interest and acceptance of yet another French
brand on these shores.
Naturally, we are proud to support our own in any given
environment and what better way to promote our European heritage and culture
than through trade.
France and Malaysia have long established a strong bilateral
trade partnership. Malaysia is now France’s second trade partner
in Asean, with exports totalling 2.2 billion euros. Electronics and computer components
are primary exports at 1.2 billion euros.
Other sectors include mineral and rubber products, with
the highest growth sectors coming from petroleum products at 63 million euros
and palm oil at 35 million euros.
France's exports to Malaysia have also touched a record
level of 1.8 billion euros, mainly from aeronautics and mechanical, electrical
and electronics equipment. Other interest sectors include automotive equipment,
cosmetics and food products.
Last year, trade exchange between the two nations valued
at 4 billion euros, an equivalent of RM16 billion.
The number of French companies that have established
businesses here in Malaysia mainly in the oil and gas, aeronautics and
transport sectors has increased significantly over the past few years.
As a direct result of this, we have seen an increase in
the number of French expatriates in Malaysia. We have on record, close to 3,000
French citizens residing in this country with 85% living in Kuala Lumpur and
surrounding areas.
The number of French tourists visiting Malaysia has also
surged in recent years, touching 110,000 last year.
In sum, bilateral trade relations between Malaysia and
France are strengthening year by year and we are very positive of the outlook for
both countries.
And whilst trade is important, the French Embassy is also
passionate in supporting causes which benefit the local community. In the race
to find a cure for cancer, creating awareness of early detection and
intervention is the first line of defence in the fight against this relentless,
devastating disease.
We laud the work of Breast Cancer Support Centres in
Malaysia and around the world and commend Jubilant Prestige Sdn Bhd and Lampe
Berger Malaysia for their fund raising initiative and support of a very worthy
cause which aims to curb the number of breast cancer-related deaths and
alleviate the impact of the disease on society.
We sincerely hope the Breast Cancer Support Initiative by
Lampe Berger Malaysia will make a difference in the lives of women battling
breast cancer and those at risk of the disease.
On that note, I declare Lampe Berger Malaysia’s 1st
anniversary in retail pop-up kiosk and nationwide tour launched!
Merci Beaucoup / Thank you.
