Petronas pulled out all the stops when launching the Malaysia Bid Round 2022, the seventh in this annual series of licensing exercises. The round, dubbed MBR2022, was given a rousing launch by a special performance of folk song Laksamana Raja di Laut (Admiral King of the Sea) by the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, and this was the first time the orchestra had played to a live audience in two years because of the coronavirus pandemic. Relishing the chance to celebrate Malaysia again, organisers made sure that attendees at the Kuala Lumpur event were given lanyards made of songket, a traditional woven fabric from the region, for their name badges.
