*************************************

On 25 April 2017, Minister of Youth and Sports YB Khairy Jamaluddin, and New Zealand High Commissioner to Malaysia H.E. Dr John Subritzky launched the Aspiring New Zealand photo collection at Bangsar Shopping Centre in celebration of 60 years relations between Malaysia and New Zealand.

Curated by internationally renowned Malaysian photographer, Jeffry Lim, Aspiring New Zealand features over 50 large-size images of New Zealand’s landscapes from an aerial perspective rarely seen by the public.  The series was inspired by Jeffry’s travels around the country with his family in 2016.

“As we celebrate 60 years of friendship, we can reflect on the important role tourism has played and focus on how it will continue to build our partnership in the future,” said H.E. Dr John Subritzky. 

“Over 53,000 Malaysians visited New Zealand in the year ending at February 2017, which is over a 52% increase from the year before. Malaysia is also a popular destination for New Zealanders travelling in South East Asia or on their way to other parts of Asia or Europe,” he added.

The photo collection was part of a weeklong programme of events celebrating creativity and innovation. Visitors of all ages got to immerse themselves in virtual and augmented reality experiences. Photography enthusiasts had the opportunity to learn from Jeffry firsthand during his exclusive photography sessions. All activities were free for the public.

“It’s great to see Jeffry representing Malaysia on the world stage. His photos have previously been featured in National Geographic and, more recently, two photos from his Aspiring New Zealand collection won prestigious awards at the International Photography Awards (IPA) in New York,” said Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, who returned from a visit to New Zealand earlier this month.

The visit was by invitation from the New Zealand Prime Minister under the Prime Minister’s Fellowship Programme for ASEAN.  Minister Khairy met with Prime Minister Rt Hon. Bill English, Foreign Minister Hon Murray McCully, Youth Minister Hon Nikki Kay and Sports Minister Dr Jonathan Coleman.

Aspiring New Zealand was co-sponsored by Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC), UNIQLO and Canon Malaysia.  https://aspiringnewzealand.com/.

“I wish to express my deepest gratitude to the New Zealand High Commission for giving me this amazing opportunity to work together and present this exclusive aerial winter series, which resonates with the New Zealand Story. New Zealand is truly a country of ­Open Spaces, Open Hearts and Open Minds,” said photographer Jeffry Lim.
