Plant-based living was once seen as a niche trend in Malaysia, a passing fad, or something at odds with our love for sambal and satay. But with VegFest now in its seventh edition, it’s clear that something deeper is taking root.



Gulshan Kaur Rai and Mandeep Singh Sidhu share how Malaysia VegFest grew from a small idea into a thriving movement. We dive into the cultural pushback, the business opportunities, and the values driving a lifestyle shift that’s as much about justice and sustainability as it is about food.



Is Malaysia ready for a plant-forward future? And what does it really take to change the way a nation eats, and thinks?
