The campaign started as a spirited songwriting competition for the associates of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of hotels and resorts in Malaysia, inspired by Marriott's service culture and its seven hospitality principles of Warmth and Welcome, Attentiveness, Efficiency, Empathy, Communication, Flexibility and Consistency. Amidst an impressive array of over 35 entries, Fairfield by Marriott Bintulu Paragon emerged as the winner and was featured in the “Kumandang” song and music video with Alif Satar & The Locos.

“We have been doing business here in Malaysia since 1996, a time when Malaysian hospitality was at its peak and renowned world over. We were known for going above and beyond to serve our guests. 



And everything we did was from the heart, with a great sense of pride and enthusiasm…and always, always with a smile,” said Ramesh Jackson, Area Vice President, Indonesia & Malaysia, Marriott International.

Malaysia welcomed almost 6 million foreign tourist arrivals into Q1 this year, a growth of 32.5% compared to last year. In 2025, 32 million tourists are forecasted to arrive, spurred by Malaysia’s chairmanship of ASEAN that will be held that year.
