PETALING JAYA, 22 April 2022 – After two long years of sombre Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent announcement from the government to transition into endemic status has sparked renewed hope to celebrate the upcoming festival like we used to in the good old days. In this spirit, Ejen Ali and Boost, the fintech arm of Axiata, today announced their collaboration to premiere a festive Raya video dubbed “KebangkiTEN Raya 10 Budak Merah dan Ejen Ali”.

The “KebangkiTEN Raya 10 Budak Merah dan Ejen Ali” tale is part of Boost’s “KebangkiTEN Raya” campaign which runs from 18 April to 31 May and is anchored by a heart-warming tale about Abu and his nine best friends all dressed in red as they strive to bring back the festive spirit of Hari Rayas gone by with their animated antics. While being cheered on by Ejen Ali, the ten kids go on various missions to prepare traditional Raya dishes, get the best deals on baju raya and decorate the home with the convenience and great deals afforded by using the Boost app. Right at the end of their adventure, Abu experiences an unexpected action-packed twist featuring Ejen Ali.

Throughout the “KebangkiTEN Raya” campaign period, Boost users can look forward to attractive rewards and additional savings, including over RM100 cashback, a chance to win an all-new Vespa and Perodua Ativa to balik kampung, up to 10x Boost Stars, and also an additional RM10 eDuit Raya for those receiving Duit Raya via DuitNow on the Boost app*.

DATO’ KHAIRUL ANWAR SALLEH, Chief Executive Officer of Media Prima Television Networks and Primeworks Studios, comments, “This Hari Raya Aidilfitri we welcome Boost onboard in collaboration with Ejen Ali. Aside from promoting great rewards and fantastic deals for the festive season, we hope as Ejen Ali teams up with Boost’s 10 Budak Merah it’ll bring back the much needed Aidilfitri cheer we’ve been missing over the last two years of quiet celebration during the pandemic.”

USAMAH ZAID YASIN, Chief Executive Officer of WAU Animation and Director of Ejen Ali, adds, “It’s exciting for Ejen Ali to join Boost in a festive Hari Raya Aidilfitri campaign this year as we’re all gearing up to resume our lives in this endemic situation. I hope the spirit of Ejen Ali and 10 Budak Merah will also remind our audience that despite our eagerness to gather and celebrate with our family and friends again, we will all still remain vigilant to ensure our health and safety is taken care of too.”

UNGKU NORLIZA SYAZWAN UNGKU HALMIE, Chief Executive Officer of Boost Life, added that, “The past two years of subdued Raya celebrations due to the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the resilience and unbending spirit of Malaysians in the face of adversity. Despite travel and social restrictions, with many being unable to meet with families and friends, Malaysians remained strong and stayed connected through the help of technology. As the nation enters its transitional phase towards an endemic status, we are excited to collaborate with Ejen Ali to feature the ‘KebangkiTEN Raya 10 Budak Merah dan Ejen Ali’ video to bring back the excitement of Hari Raya celebration for Malaysians and our Muslim community. It represents the joy and freshness coming out of the pandemic to celebrate Raya in full swing this year with our large consumer base, while continuing to have Boost as your digital lifestyle companion for a safer and more convenient festive season.”

The full video can be viewed on Boost’s official Facebook and YouTube account today as well as on the extensive Media Prima television and digital network. Linking up with Media Prima OMNiA, the campaign is further promoted through special segments in highly rated programmes on TV3 Malaysia, such as Sembang Sahur and Buletin Utama, as well as the station’s official Facebook and Instagram pages.

The collaboration between Ejen Ali and Boost leads up to the release of Ejen Ali Season 3, coming soon to Disney+ Hotstar in 2022. The new season follows the titular character and the young Ejens from MATA Academy as they are reunited for a secret Ejen competition, the MATA Arena. Joined by several recruits from MATA’s international division, the event turns sideways when someone in the ranks secretly formulates a ploy to disrupt MATA in order to gain control over Cyberaya. Meanwhile, Rizwan grows wary of the threat  posed by the villainous Numeros returning to exact revenge after the loss of their leader, Uno. Ejen Ali Season 3  will explore how Ali strives to pursue his late mother’s path to become the best MATA Ejen but struggles to cope without IRIS, as well as Rizwan’s gradual discovery of a looming threat to Cyberaya.
