A Feisty Tiger in KL

It’s the Year of the Tiger, so don’t be too surprised to see a tiger ready to pounce on you just outside of Pavilion Elite, Kuala Lumpur. 

Well, it’s all thanks to Samsung‘s “Tiger In The City” campaign to help get ready for Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2022. And KLites would be happy to know their city is amongst five cities in the world chosen to showcase the ad. 

Besides Kuala Lumpur, the other four cities to showcase the billboard of the tiger are New York, London, Dubai, and Seoul.

The ad shows a 3D tiger bursting through digital barriers – and Samsung says that it aims to showcase how “Samsung’s next smartphone line-up is set to help users own the night with new advancements to its low-light smartphone photography technology”.

 

The tiger billboard ad in Pavilion isn’t the first 3D ad to wow Malaysians. Last year, there was a golden bull billboard ad to celebrate Chinese New Year. 

If you’d like to see the 3D billboard for yourself, you can go to the said mall from now until February 09. The golden bull ad did pull quite a crowd, so this one might be a popular attraction as well. 

Sadio Mane scored the winning spot-kick – after missing one in the opening minutes of the game – as Senegal claimed their first Africa Cup of Nations title with a 4-2 penalty shoot-out victory over seven-time winners Egypt. 

Mane stepped up to make history for the West African nation on Sunday at the Olembe Stadium in Cameroon’s Yaounde, and banished the memories of the team’s 2019 failure when they lost the final to Algeria. 

Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy saved from Egypt’s Mohanad Lasheen in the shoot-out to allow Mane the chance to seal the win and gain just reward for Senegal, who had been by far the better side in the final but spurned numerous opportunities to win the game. 

Egypt had their goalkeeper Mohamed Abo Gabal to thank for getting them into the shoot-out as he was outstanding in keeping Senegal at bay in what was the fourth time in as many games they had played extra time in energy-sapping conditions.

Anyway, congratulations, Senegal!
