Lifestyle Asia Kuala Lumpur hosted its fourth annual LSA100 event on 4 December 2025 at JAM BOX, JAM PJ, Petaling Jaya. The evening, in partnership with BYD Cars Malaysia, Chivas Regal, Codigo 1530, JisuLife Malaysia, Malfy Gin, Martell, Upbound, and 1664 Malaysia, celebrated a new cohort of 100 Malaysians who are redefining and shaping the country’s cultural and professional landscape.
In its fourth year, the LSA100 initiative evolved its approach to recognise talents individually. Each honouree was selected as an icon representing their specific community, spanning the arts, music, sports, technology, and culinary fields. For the 2025 edition, the honourees were categorised as Gamechangers, Rulebreakers, Joysparkers, Rising Aces, and Explorers, placing an emphasis on their respective industries and the positive impact that they generate for their communities.
Under the theme Ready, Set, Go!, the evening saw 400 guests come together to celebrate momentum and excellence. Guests arrived to an opening performance by Clinton Jerome Chua and Aisha Retno, followed by welcome remarks from emcee Maggy Wang.
The formal portion of the evening commenced with welcome speeches from Lena Kwek, Managing Director and Publisher, BurdaLuxury Singapore and Malaysia, and Martin Teo, Editor-in-Chief, Lifestyle Asia Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, who shared their vision behind the curation of this year’s LSA100.
“Motion is more than movement – it’s intention,” said Teo. “The LSA100 project is rooted in turning passion into purpose, challenge into change, and dreams into milestones. At Lifestyle Asia, we believe progress happens when we move together – each step a reflection of shared strength and possibility. The tagline for this year’s LSA100 is ‘Community in Motion’, conveying a celebration of spirit of a community that never stands still, of stories that remind us how far we’ve come, and how much further we can go when we keep moving together.”
Following Kwek and Teo’s speeches, guests enjoyed a performance by Alpha, before moving into the awards portion of the evening.
