From April 25 to 26, the "Guangdong Goods Go Global: Zhongshan Products in Malaysia" event was held at Pavilion Bukit Jalil in Kuala Lumpur. More than 70 top-tier enterprises from Zhongshan showcased over 300 featured products—from smart water dispensers and drones to rice cookers and industrial fans.
For local visitors, it offered a rare chance to experience firsthand the innovative products from Guangdong.
Encik Nasri, a native of Negeri Sembilan, had never seen so many Zhongshan products in one place before. "This is the first time I've seen this many products from Zhongshan displayed here, and I am very attracted," he said in Malay.
"From coffee machines and kitchen appliances to drones and televisions—everything displayed here looks modern, high-quality, and very competitive. Through this exhibition, the strength of Zhongshan is evident." He also expressed a personal wish: "I also heard that there's an old street over a century old, with architecture similar to Malaysia's, and I hope to visit it someday."
Yao Liguo, manager of Guangdong Daomeng Intelligent Technology, brought nearly his entire product line to Malaysia. "We have ice water dispensers and hot water boilers—these are our flagship products," he said.
"Our hydrogen-rich water cups and Hertz water cups are selling extremely well right now in Singapore, Malaysia, and the UK, with sales volumes soaring." He also highlighted a new material co-developed with Jinan University in Guangzhou: "It's a waterproofing material with outstanding performance. You can submerge the circuit boards in water, and they will still work normally. We've already introduced it to Singapore."
YM Tee, international director of New Century Electrical Manufacturing (Zhongshan), introduced several drone products, including a forest firefighting drone and an agricultural drone. "Beyond drones, we also offer industrial high-volume fans and decorative ceiling fans," she said.
"After three or four years of promotion in Malaysia, our industrial fans have already gained strong sales in both Malaysia and Indonesia," Tee noted.
Local vloggers were equally impressed. Chai Chang Zhi, a Malaysian vlogger, was drawn to a rice cooker that looked like a Bluetooth speaker. "This looks very cool. It resembles a tech product, like a Bluetooth speaker. I think it can play music, but actually it's a rice cooker. I think it's very suitable for one-man cooking—I like it."
She also expressed excitement about the drones. "I am super interested in very large drones. I'm very happy that they can come into Malaysia, so we have the chance to buy and use them."
Another vlogger, Art Lai, noted that many of the new products are rarely seen in Malaysia. "Through this kind of market event, we can bring in some very youthful technology and allow more people—not just the young, but men, women, the elderly, and children—to get to know so many foreign products." He also mentioned that he personally uses DJI, a Guangdong brand, and praised its practicality.
