00:34with instructions ranging from paying 50 ringgit for laksa or nasi lemak,

00:39to repairing properties after monsoon rains, or heading to KLIA for a flight.

00:44But I believe in this Monopoly Edition, we have more than 17 landmarks,

00:49which will be focusing in this, what they call it, Monopoly.

00:54And this is a good opportunity, not only for Malaysians as well, for foreign tourists,

01:12So playing games with families and so on, is again, it's a good story for family bonding,

01:20and at the same time, to know more about your own country, your own cities.

01:25Hasbro's Monopoly Kuala Lumpur Edition was developed by Winning Moves.

01:29Now, to set the scene of our journey in creating this game,

01:34some of you might be wondering how exactly we create a city edition of Monopoly.

01:40So at the start of this year, we started researching some of KL's most beloved landmarks,

01:46attractions, and hidden gems.

01:48We looked at what the locals and the tourists love most about KL,

01:53from the iconic Petrona's Twin Towers, to Medeca Square, to the bustling Buking Bintang,

01:59and of course, the delicious foods, and the vibrant culture that brings the city to life.

02:04So we hope that this Kuala Lumpur Edition of Monopoly

02:07can be a way for people to connect with their city in a fun and playful way.

02:11For Malaysians everywhere, we hope that this is a reminder of how far the city has come,

02:16from its roots as a tin mining town, to one of the world's most dynamic capitals.

02:21From iconic landmarks to local cuisine,

02:24every square tells a story making this edition more than just a board game,

02:28but a celebration of Kuala Lumpur itself.
