Kuala Lumpur, 26 June 2025 — Held at The Estate on Federal Hill from 7:00PM to 10:00PM, Nexting’s 6th Year Anniversary also known as N6YA, brought together industry leaders, partners, and ARMS for a memorable evening. Beyond the celebration, the occasion marked the formal introduction of VISI2040—a strategic collaboration between Nexting, Jimart, and Doremart focused on shaping the next evolution of retail.
The anniversary began with a welcoming atmosphere, as guests arrived to a scenic hilltop venue surrounded by city lights. It set the tone for what would be an evening of reflection, connection, and forward-looking ambition.
A Different Kind of Retail Begins Here
Before the announcement, a cinematic narration played on screen—delivered in Mandarin, yet emotionally universal. It acknowledged the pace of today’s world, the coldness of modern commerce, and the limitations of algorithm-led retail. But more importantly, it presented an alternative:
“Retail doesn’t have to be cold. It can be a way of caring for one another.
We don’t chase size; we build trust.
Every role has dignity, every interaction has warmth, and every member is a partner in what we’re building.”
The message ended on a strong note:
“VISI2040 is not just a supermarket. It’s a decision about the kind of future we want to create.”
The Three Pillars Behind VISI2040
With the audience drawn into the vision, the three founders took the stage. Each speech brought depth and clarity to what VISI2040 truly means.
Mr. Cola Hii, Chairman of Doremart opened with sincerity:
“This isn’t just a strategic partnership. It’s the beginning of becoming comrades-in-arms.”
He shared that the decision to become IPO partners wasn’t about convenience. It was about seeing a larger horizon, one where opportunities are expanded, markets deepened, and futures built together.
He also outlined who stands to benefit:
- Key leaders, who will gain access to new challenges and bigger platforms.
- The market itself, where trust becomes the true currency.
- Everyday partners, who now have a stronger system behind them.
Mr. Jayden Lim, Chairman of Jimart followed with a touch of reflection:
“Doremart and Jimart started around the same time so our journey has always been parallel. But this? This is a convergence.”
He emphasized that how many 10 years do we have in life? For the past 20 years, each brand has walked its own path. But the next decade, he said, is not just about vision—it’s about commitment.
“We’re no longer building alone. VISI2040 is our promise to redesign retail for the next generation together.”
Mr. Chang Kon Ling, Chairman of Nexting closed with firm resolve:
“We’re not the ones who wait for opportunity—we bring the future forward.”
He reminded the audience that VISI2040 isn’t just built on beliefs—it’s about execution.
“We know the road ahead won’t be easy. But when one person has waited 10 years, and another is ready to carry it for the next 10—you know this is a game worth playing.”
It was a call to courage, and to alignment. VISI2040, he said, began from shared beliefs but will be made real through shared action.
The Official Launch: A Moment Sealed in Unity
Following the heartfelt speeches, the moment everyone had been anticipating arrived—the official launch of the VISI2040 IPO partnership.
Key representatives from Nexting, Doremart, and Jimart were invited on stage to commemorate the historic milestone. With the crowd watching in vibrant anticipation, the partners placed their hands on the central screen, activating a dynamic visual countdown that symbolized the start of a new era.
The gesture wasn’t just ceremonial. It was symbolic of alignment—not just in strategy, but in spirit.
As the screen lit up, the audience broke into applause. The three founding chairmen remained on stage to receive the VISI2040 IPO Partner Plaque, standing shoulder to shoulder as cameras flashed and music rose.
It was a moment of unity, commitment, and collective belief in something far greater than any one company could build alone.
What Lies Ahead
Following the formal unveiling, Nexting, Jimart, and Doremart are expected to begin pilot projects under the VISI2040 banner within the coming year. These initiatives will focus on live-testing key concepts and refining collaborative approaches across different market segments.
While N6YA was a moment of celebration, it also marked the beginning of a larger journey. The energy in the room made one thing clear: these three partners are not only aligned in business but also in vision and intent.
