The event was graced by YAB Tuan Chow Kon Yeow, Chief Minister of Penang. Thanks to Chief Minister, we managed to recall even Penang is no stranger to records, with the latest being the soon to be completed Guinness World Records for longest water slide at Escape Theme Park in Teluk Bahang.
At the same time, the chief minister also exercised his humor by mentioning he will be attempting to break a record by having a longest speech during that evening. This brings laughter to all the attendees immediately.
Over the three day event, the MBR Live! 2019 will see a range of records being showcased to public, while there are a few records breaking attempts live on the spot.
Among the records being showed real-time were "First Caffenaited Painting using Starbucks Coffee as Paint", "Most Number of Fire Torches Eaten in 60 seconds", "Fastest to Escape from Water Torture Cell", "Most Number of Reverse Palm Push Ups in 1 Minute", "Longest Non-Stop Haircuts Relay by a Group (72 hours), "Longest Non-Stop Team Relay on Treadmill in 48 hours (team of 4)" and etc.
At the same time, public can also engage themselves and try to be a record holder.
