PayPal Buy Me Coffee Amazon B&H Adorama My Photo & Video Gear For those who prefer an article format, here is my blog entry on the same topic: Olympus Malaysia has made an official announcement today about the upcoming changes to the imaging business in Malaysia. Olympus has appointed a sole distributor to carry on the camera sales for Olympus products. The official distributor is OMD World Imaging (owned by YL Camera), and they will take over the camera business, including all sales and service activities. There will be a new service center for Olympus in Sunway Velocity, and all the old social media platforms, online shop and website will be discontinued. There are new Facebook page, Instagram account and soon new sites to be set up by OMD World Imaging. I have also expressed my thoughts on the closure of Olympus Malaysia imaging business, this hit me particularly hard because I did work for them as an employee from 2013-2017. 0:00 Intro 0:21 Recap of Past Olympus/JIP Events 1:49 Olympus Appointed Official Distributor for Malaysia - OMD World Imaging 2:59 OMD World Imaging Carries On Camera Business 3:29 Relocation of Olympus Official Service Center 4:00 Discontinuation of Website, Online Store, and old Social Media Platforms 4:28 My Thoughts on Olympus Malaysia Imaging Business Closure 5:12 What I have Learned From Olympus 6:00 Olympus - Industry Leader In Lens Expertise 7:16 Olympus Visionary Status Update 7:50 If Visionary Contract Got Renewed 8:34 If Visionary Contract is NOT Renewed 9:00 My Photography Business Is Hit Hard By the Pandemic 10:29 Olympus Is More Than Sufficient 10:49 CONCLUSION/END Official Olympus Announcement: New Service Centre Location: V06-06-02 Signature 2, Lingkaran SV, Sunway Velocity, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan.
