May all their inspiring words and deeds encourage and motivate your spirit as it did in mine to stay strong, and keep fighting the good fight till the very end in all of your life’s many struggles and battles.
There are about 100 iconic wax figures of famous people from history, and contemporary personalities of today on showcase at the 3,000 square feet Red Carpet wax museum at i-City Shah Alam, Malaysia.
And so I decided to pay them a visit while I took the opportunity to capture them on video and added the inspiring quotes of the actual people who made a difference in this world. Their positive actions and advice to all of us serve as a guiding light that will do us all good to live by, and perhaps, will inspire many to do the same.
The iconic wax figure’s main highlights shown in this video in the order of their appearance along with their inspiring quotes are as follows:
President Barack Obama
“If you work hard and meet your responsibilities; you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or who you love.”

“You must always equip yourself through training and sharpening your skill all the time.”
Tunku Abdul Rahman

“When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.”

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.”
Steve Jobs

Michael Jordan
“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”

Sylvester Stallone (John Rambo)
“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!”
Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa
Honorable Mention
The remaining iconic wax figures appeared in a flash towards the end of the video without quotes, as it was necessary to match the ending music beat. Nevertheless, they are all figures of people who have also contributed and inspired many, and do deserve the same honor. To name a few, they are:
Lionel Messi, Lee Chong Wei, Brat Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Al Pacino, Marilynn Monroe, John Travolta, Elton John, Luciano Pavarotti, and Park Jae-sang aka PSY among others (I will add on their images here in a tiled mosaic gallery when I have the time). Meanwhile, you can check ’em all out in this video:
