    A number of strategic partnerships and projects were unveiled by the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC) during the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM) 2023, which was held at the MGTC Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

    MGTC signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Universiti Malaya Power Energy Dedicated Advanced Centre to develop and implement the “Training on Solar PV for Beginners” and “Solar PV System Design and Operations” programmes. On the other hand, the MoU with Zull Design Autotronic marks our collaboration on the “Bijak Tani: Green Hydroponic Programme”.

These collaborations aim to implement training programs, promote innovation and knowledge dissemination, and adapt to future-proof technology for broader cooperation in education, research, and technology sharing.

    To exemplify our work with communities, Rumah Ibadat Hijau (RIH) programme has joined forces with MyFundAction to explore an alternative funding source for the initiative and to encourage investments in green and community programmes while generating new job opportunities. The programme is also partnering with MARDI to focus on greenery aspects within RIH, particularly the UrbanKit (Aquaponic) project, aimed at providing an additional source of income for asnaf and B40 communities. This collaboration will raise agricultural productivity within local communities and address food security issues. With the collective effort from these partnerships, we aim to have 230,000 green jobs created.

    In the pursuit of promoting the adoption of green products, MGTC has signed a Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) with Shopee Malaysia to solidify our partnership following the launch of the “Jom Beli Produk Hijau” campaign to raise awareness of the MyHIJAU Mark Recognition Scheme. The campaign offers vouchers worth RM60,000 on selected green products on Shopee until December 2023. We also signed a MoC with Malaysian Industrial Development Finance Berhad to provide training advisory services and promote Low Carbon Operating System (LCOS) to MIDF’s stakeholders and customers, exemplifying our sustainability commitment. The document exchanged was witnessed by the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change, YB Dato’ Sri Huang Tiong Sii.

    Group Chief Executive Officer of MGTC, Ts Shamsul Bahar Mohd Nor, proudly shared, “We are thrilled to announce the culmination of these strategic partnerships. They underpin our commitment to magnify our work continuously. These coalitions reflect the strength of our shared values and goals with our esteemed partners.

    He added, “We are partnering with Politeknik Port Dickson to enhance the Diploma in Energy Efficiency and Green Energy syllabus. This collaboration includes competency development for lecturers and students in energy efficiency and green energy. This partnership will foster innovation, drive growth, and create new green job opportunities.”

  • Driving Sustainability: MGTC’s Pioneering Partnerships at IGEM2023

    KUALA LUMPUR, 6 OCTOBER 2023 –  On the third day of the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia 2023 (IGEM 2023), the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC) unveiled a new set of pioneering partnerships and initiatives with the goal of promoting environmental responsibility and climate action in Malaysia.

    In partnership with the UK Government, MGTC is proud to introduce the Malaysia Climate Action Simulator (MCAS). MCAS is a simulation tool to enable stakeholders to visualise low-carbon future scenarios through 2050. This cutting-edge tool will facilitate the exploration of pathways to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in various sectors, including energy, transport, building, industry, land use, and waste. MCAS is a vital communication tool to raise awareness about the impact of technology and policy choices on GHG emissions. In a bid to promote sustainability education, MGTC is also collaborating with universities to develop educational modules centered around MCAS, potentially integrating it into a university syllabus, MCAS is open to further research contributions, fostering informed decision-making for a sustainable future. The MCAS web tool can be accessed at www.mcas.my.

    MGTC is also thrilled to announce a strategic Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) with the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) in support of sustainability in Malaysia’s water sector. This partnership will focus on the adoption of the Low Carbon Operating System (LCOS) for measuring carbon emissions. MGTC will provide onboarding support for LCOS, while SPAN, as the regulatory authority, will lead the widespread adoption of this platform.

    Together, they aim to drive environmentally responsible water management practices, aligning with Malaysia’s commitment to a greener future. The collaboration’s total value is RM368,265.20, covering the measurement of Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions for SPAN and 12 water operators. This partnership also encompasses the promotion of climate change awareness, LCOS adoption, and the establishment of a standardised system for carbon emissions measurement and reporting in the water industry.

    In addition, an MoC has also been established between MGTC and Greehill Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd, aiming to explore and evaluate potential joint endeavours in the domain of urban green infrastructure and ecosystem services management. This partnership will encompass comprehensive surveys, automated inventory processes, tree risk analysis, quantification, visualisation, reporting, and monitoring of urban green infrastructure, enhancing urban planning and sustainability efforts. These activities are designed to bolster urban planning initiatives, enhance sustainability practices, and ultimately contribute to the development of more environmentally resilient urban environments.

    In a significant stride towards plastic circularity and sustainability, MGTC has forged a Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) with the Malaysian Recycling Alliance (MAREA). This collaborative effort seeks to harness MGTC’s position in promoting green growth and MAREA’s specialization in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). Together, they aim to establish strategic alliances, facilitate the exchange of technical expertise, implement capacity development programs for EPR, foster eco-design and eco-innovation in plastic packaging, and educate communities about the principles of plastic circularity. This partnership is aligned with Malaysia’s overarching green growth strategies and the objectives outlined in the Malaysia Plastic Sustainability Roadmap (MPSR).

    GCEO of MGTC, Ts Shamsul Bahar Mohd Nor mentioned, “These initiatives and partnerships collectively reflect MGTC’s unwavering commitment to fostering sustainability, environmental responsibility, and climate action in Malaysia. These collaborations span a wide spectrum of critical areas and exemplify Malaysia’s dedication to building a greener and more sustainable future.”

    “These collaborations not only coincide with Malaysia’s initiatives for environmentally sustainable growth and the SDGs, but also serve as essential contributors to addressing worldwide challenges associated with climate change. As we progress, MGTC remains steadfast in its commitment to these transformative initiatives, guided by a distinct vision of constructing a more sustainable and resilient future for all, leaving no one behind,” he added.

    Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua pihak yang telah dengan gigih bekerja untuk pemuliharaan dan pendidikan geodiversiti. Sumbangan anda adalah berharga dalam memupuk pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang geodiversiti kita dan peri pentingnya dalam kehidupan kita.

    Akhir kata, mari kita bersama-sama berjanji untuk menghargai dan melindungi geodiversiti negara bagi memastikan bahawa generasi akan datang akan terus mendapat manfaat daripadanya. Semoga kita terus menjelajah, mengungkap, dan melindungi sumber geodiversiti Malaysia untuk generasi akan datang.

    Helah sumpahan cintamu
    Madahmu menyesatkanku
    Hingga di hujung

    Aku terjatuh
    Tersungkur jauh dalam mu 
    Terjerat jiwa belenggu
    Kisah yang lalu    		 Verse2:
    Ku terlepas
    Dari jerat yang menewas
    Antara cinta dan nestapa

    Bridge:
    Menjadikan ku, 
    Diri yang baru
    Dalam waktu

    Tersudah yang lalu
    Kini hidup baru
    Tinggalkan kisah terseksa
    Kisah duka dan lara

  • TO COMMEMORATE TWO DECADES OF THE MALAYNEUM ALBUM AND THE MALAYNEUM 23 CONCERT, BUTTERFINGERS HOPES TO WORK ITS MAGIC ONCE MORE AT STADIUM MALAWATI.

    This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is butter.jpeg

    Butterfingers intends to bring listeners back in time and provoke a sense of musical nostalgia with the Malayneum 23 Concert on October 7th, 2019 at Malawati Stadium in Shah Alam, after the sold-out Transcendence 20 Year Concert on November 2nd, 2019, just before the COVID-19 epidemic.

    Among the main driving forces of the Butterfingers group, LoQue, or Khairil Ridzwan Annuar, stated that “this idea had been lingering in my mind since shortly after the success of the Transcendence 20 Concert but was hindered due to the world being hit by a pandemic for several years. Therefore, the year 2023 is seen as favorable ‘weather’ for us to finally carry it out.”

    LoQue says, “Butterfingers believes that all of our listeners and cult followers will always crave live performances from us. We also believe that the chemical reactions we channel when the four of us clash on stage since post-Transcendence 20 will evoke that sense of nostalgia and create new memories not just for the audience but for us band members too.”

    When asked about the main purpose of holding the Malayneum 23 Concert, it is because, back in 2001, Butterfingers was busy producing album after album since their debut album, 1.2mg, in 1996. In 1999, at the time of the release of their third album, Transcendence, which hadn’t yet matured in the mainstream arena, Butterfingers promptly released their fourth album, Malayneum, in 2001. It features sounds distinct from their previous albums.

    Loque adds that “after years, fans will witness the band’s homecoming at the Malayneum 23 Concert, coinciding with the experimental album’s anniversary.’ ‘Malayneum stands as a pivotal album for Butterfingers, showcasing a noticeable transition from our early works,’ he continues. ‘This release marks our band’s peak,’ he emphasizes. The album cover’s color captures this concept of’senja,’ signifying the dusk of our journey.”

    From a recording company’s point of view, Malayneum is considered a “comercial suicide”. “Because we (Butterfingers) made a complete 180-degree shift in our sound to distance ourselves from the sounds of the Transcendence album before it. Due to the fact that the Malayneum album was perceived as odd and unconventional as compared to our earlier albums, along with several other unavoidable factors, we didn’t have the opportunity to fully celebrate this album at that time. The Malayneum tour was not as glorified as it should have been. Hence, Malayneum 23,” says Loque.

    “Therefore, this album is considered separuh masak or half-cooked as we couldn’t perform the songs from the Malayneum album live in their entirety. So, the Malayneum 23 Concert will witness songs from the Malayneum album, among others, being played from a different perspective in a different era for all those in attendance,” added Loque. for Loque, and they did not have the chance to celebrate this album as a whole, deep into its essence, before the band members decided to pursue their individual paths.

    Emmett remarks, “This comeback for me is pretty neat; it’s going to be the first show that I will be playing the guitars, and I am looking forward to that. It’s nice that the band is playing together a little more as opposed to just putting the band ready and putting my vocals on top of that which we did for Transcendence 20. Now that the band is together again, there’s more of a band spirit”. He adds, on top of conveying that Malayneum 23 is the first album celebration show post-pandemic “I’m stoked.”.

    According to Emmett, Malayneum is one of the most underrated Butterfingers albums, as it was deemed “straying away from their original sound; it is a different flavor that we were experimenting on”.

    LoQue added, “The tracks on the Malayneum album are quite different compared to our other albums. While recording this album, we had enough power chords and all those “grunge” sounds at that time. As we matured playing together as a band, our imaginations went wild, our creative juices kept pumping and flowing endlessly, and our minds were all craving the newly found, fresh sonic palettes.”

    “Because of that, we infused acoustic and electronic elements such as incorporating a string quartet ensemble, a horn section (trumpet and trombone), and also integrated sampled sounds (including the voice of Cikgu, the late Allahyarham Tan Sri P. Ramlee) and synthesizers.”

    Reflecting on Malayneum, Loque shared, “When I think of it now, two decades after its release, I’d say Malayneum stands out as our most unique album. It kind of hovered in between grunge, alternative, and indie rock. It found itself in this interesting space, not fully fitting into either category. We were riding the wave of our popularity while transitioning from the grunge era to something less familiar. Malayneum truly embodies the essence of Butterfingers’ original sound. It’s like an album caught in transit between two eras, not quite having settled into a specific mold. After 20 years, we’re thankful that we embraced the uncharted path that Malayneum represents. It really is in its own league.”

    Kadak interprets that “the songs from the Malayneum album are ‘dark’ or ‘abyss,’ meaning most of the songs play with a single spark of emotion, and their lyrics convey the transitions of feelings they wish to express. On the night of the concert, we will strive to promise something different. For those who want to know what difference we will bring, it is’mandatory’ to purchase tickets before it’s too late.”

    Concluding the conversation with Kadak, he expresses that “this is a good time to celebrate the Malayneum album, as we did not have the chance to place the spotlight on it as much as the other albums. For this to happen, we are able to perform and present the essence of the album to the fans, giving it proper appreciation. Other than that, through Malayneum 20, we are also able to show our deepest thanks to fans who have been here since day one, constantly showing their support since the release of our first album.” He adds that this show will showcase Malayneum as the “well-cooked” and intimate album that it is. Hence, he hopes that the fans will be able to enjoy the show to the fullest, making it a night to remember.

    “Imagine this: after 20 years, the Malayneum 23 concert happens, bringing the one and only Butterfingers vibes live to fans like never before. Imagine a stadium jam-packed with fans, all coming together not just for a regular concert but to relive memories and share the love for music. The energy from the crowd makes the performances extra special, leaving a lasting impact. And here’s the thing: to really get what makes this concert unique, you’ve got to be there in person.” Loko conveys.

    “Although this concert is meant to celebrate two decades of the Malayneum album, in order not to disappoint our cult followers, we will also present the kek lapis of songs from the early Butterfingers era, which are the beloved favorites in our repertoire,” said LoQue before the conversation concluded.

    The Malayneum 23-Year Butterfingers Concert is set to be held on October 7 at Malawati Stadium, Shah Alam. The venue is chosen again due to its capacity to accommodate over 8,000 audience members.

    Tickets are on sale now! The price ranges are from RM99 (Ginseng), RM135 (Suddenly), RM199 (Pacific), to RM249 (Mating Season). As for standing zones, ticket prices will be available at RM165 (Malayneum) only.

    The first fully-fledged Islamic financial institution in Malaysia to receive this prestigious accreditation is Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (Bank Islam or the Bank), which has received the ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS) certification from ABAC Center of Excellence Sdn Bhd (ABAC).

    Bank Islam’s Chairman, Tan Sri Dr. Ismail Bakar, received the accreditation at the certification ceremony held at Menara Bank Islam earlier today from the Group CEO of ABAC, Zafar Anjum. Also in attendance was Bank Islam Group Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Mohd Muazzam Mohamed.

    Bank Islam Group Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Mohd Muazzam Mohamed, said the ISO 37001 certification acknowledged the bank’s anti-corruption practices and declared its commitment to zero-tolerance against bribery and corruption. This certification sets new standards in the industry and distinguishes Bank Islam as an ethical and responsible organization.

    “The ISO 37001 certification assures the management, staff, customers, and other stakeholders that the bank has taken appropriate measures to prevent graft. It also improves organizational efficiency and effectiveness in managing risks associated with bribery.

    “With this certification in place, we firmly believe customers, business partners, and other valued stakeholders will further place their trust in Bank Islam to manage their interests,” he said.

    ISO 37001 is an international standard that specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing, and improving an anti-bribery management system.

    According to Mohd Muazzam, Bank Islam constantly strives to enhance integrity by educating and increasing awareness among its employees.

    “We undertook several critical measures and policies to obtain the ISO 37001 ABMS certification, including implementing the ABMS Guideline, which serves as an internal document verifying that documented procedures met the ISO 37001 ABMS Standard requirements. This accreditation also complements the bank’s effort in ensuring the strictest code of conduct, good governance, and integrity,” he explains.

    In July 2022, Bank Islam launched its inaugural organizational anti-corruption plan (OACP) for 2022–2025. The Bank also introduced the Group Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy in 2021, outlining the roles and responsibilities of employees in upholding fundamental values of integrity, transparency, and accountability consistently across its operations.

  • Live In Concert: Radja & Special Appearance Ella

    Dalam sebuah sidang media yang telah dijalankan di Restoran Rebung Chef Ismail, tempat yang terkenal dengan masakan Melayu asli, Dato’ Chef Ismail dengan penuh semangat mengumumkan konsert yang bertajuk ‘LIVE IN CONCERT RADJA (SPECIAL APPEARANCE ELLA)’! Konsert ini akan memukau penonton pada 12 November 2023, jam 7:00 malam di Mega Star Arena, Kuala Lumpur. Acara ini dipersembahkan khas oleh Orange International Entertainment, penganjur konsert tanah air. Jangan lepaskan peluang untuk menyaksikan persembahan luar biasa ini!

    “Ini merupakan sebuah penghormatan buat Radja dapat bertemu teman-teman media dari Malaysia untuk menjelaskan lebih lanjut tentang konsert yang bakal diadakan November ini, terima kasih juga kepada Restoran Rebung kerana menjadi penaja lokasi sidang media dan makanan pada hari ini serta pada hari konsert nanti,” kata Ian, vokalis kumpulan Radja.

    Radja, yang dianggotai Ian Kasela (vokalis), Moldy Kusnadi (gitar) dan Seno Aji (dram) bersama-sama ratu rock negara, Ella bakal disatukan dalam sebuah konsert antara benua Indonesia-Malaysia yang julung-julung kali diadakan.

    “Ini merupakan idea yang sudah lama diidamkan bahawa Radja ingin sekali berkolaborasi dengan ratu rock Malaysia Ella di pentas yang sama, dan pihak penganjur Orange Entertainment International yang berjaya merealisasikannya.

    “Dua lagu hits kami ‘Jujur’ dan ‘Takkan Melupakanmu’ nyanyian Ella sangat indah didengar, maka kami gabungkannya lalu menjadi tema buat konsert kali ini disamping menjalinperpaduan muzik di antara Indonesia-Malaysia yang sememangnya akrab sejak dahulu lagi,” tambah Moldy.

    Ibarat membuka lembaran baharu, kedatangan Radja pada kali ini lebih istimewa kerana konsert yang bakal diadakan lebih kepada keakraban di antara band dan juga peminat.

    “Kami mahukan sebuah konsert yang ‘intimate’ agar peminat berasa lebih dekat, kami juga mahukan sebuah pertunjukan yang ‘sing-along’ dengan kejutan yang sungguh istimewa,” jelas Seno.

    Sebelum ini, pihak penganjur pernah mengadakan konsert oleh kumpulan Ungu pada penghujung tahun lepas dengan jayanya dan menerima sambutan yang memberangsangkan, menurut Dato’ Fadzli Idrus, selaku CEO & Pengasas Orange Entertainment International,“Sebagaimana yang diketahui umum, Radja adalah sebuah band legendaris Indonesia yang tidak perlu diperkenalkan lagi, kami gabungkan dengan ratu rock kita Ella dalam sebuah konsert gilang-gemilang buat tatapan peminat-peminat rock di Malaysia, disamping menyahut baik permintaan Radja yang mahukan Ella untuk turut serta bersama-sama mereka di pentas yang sama.

    “Saya berharap peminat rock Indonesia dan Malaysia akan terhibur, dan jangan lupa untuk membeli tiket konsert sebelum terlambat.

    Akhiri Ian: “Kami hanya mahu melepaskan rindu bersama peminat-peminat di Malaysia dan ‘yuk’ mari kita sama-sama ‘enjoy’ pada malam konsert nanti, jumpa anda semua pada tanggal 12 November nanti!

    Tiket-tiket yang dijual berharga RM168 (Rockzone 1-Jujur), RM148 (Rockzone 2-Tulus), RM528 (VVIP-Cinderella), RM238 (Platinum-Yakin) dan RM198 (Gold-Benci Bilang Cinta) boleh didapati di ticket2u.com.my.

    This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Famili%20Duo%203%20Logo.jpgPasangan duo ke enam ni memang meletop! Mereka sememangnya dikenali sebagai penghibur serba boleh. Berlakon boleh… menyanyi… pandai masak… melawak… bersukan… pempengaruh… berlakon… menari pun boleh. Hebat bukan! Siapakah duo misteri ini?

    Tambah pasangan ini lagi, “Kami dah sedekad terlibat dalam bidang seni. Masa mula-mula dapat kritikan dari orang ramai terutamanya kritikan daripada juri, memang kami berasa sangat down (sedih). Tapi lama-kelamaan kritikan ini menjadi asam garam buat kami dan terimanya sebagai teguran positif yang dapat menyuntik semangat kami. Nak kata nervous (gementar) memang nervous bila menyertai mana-mana program realiti, walaupun dah lama dalam industri seni. Nak tak nak memang kena hadapi perasaan itu. Tapi kami anggap ia seperti satu perasaan nervous yang sangat best (seronok).”

    Ramai yang tertanya-tanya apakah keistimewaan pasangan keenam ini. Adakah petunjuk yang diberikan dapat menjawab teka-teki ini sebelum episod pertama bermula? Nantikan kemunculan pasangan duo terakhir ini pada 15 Oktober, setiap hari Ahad, pukul 9.00 malam di TV3 dan strim langsung secara HD melalui Tonton di www.tonton.com.my atau di aplikasi Tonton yang boleh dimuat turun dari Google Play atau App Store.

  • HALOBA: “MENYAKSIKAN AFIFAH NASIR MEMBINTANGI WATAK UTAMA ANTAGONIS DI SLOT SAMARINDA.

    Erina menghadapi kesukaran untuk melepaskan dendam, tetapi lebih sukar untuk menerima masa lalunya. Erina dan Hadi, pasangannya yang tidak dikenali, bertekad untuk menghancurkan kehidupan Raif, yang sudah berkahwin, kerana kesilapan masa lalunya. Adakah Erina akan berjaya melepaskan dendamnya terhadap Raif?

    Terbaharu di slot Samarinda, drama berjudul Haloba akan disiarkan di kaca televisyen bermula, 3 Oktober 2023, setiap hari Isnin hingga Khamis, pukul 10.00 malam di TV3 dan strim HD secara langsung di platform penstriman Tonton www.tonton.com.my. 

    Drama terbitan Enuja Production Sdn Bhd ini merupakan hasil karya Kent Tan dan Chooi Keen dan diarahkan oleh Emi Suffian. Drama bersiri Haloba yang mempunyai 15 episod ini menggandingkan barisan pelakon popular tanah air seperti Afifah Nasir, Aiman Hakim, Sherry Ibrahim, Shiqin Kamal, Ieda Moin dan ramai lagi.

    Haloba mengisahkan Erina (Afifah Nasir) yang pulang ke Malaysia untuk membalas dendam terhadap Raif (Aiman Hakim) dengan pertolongan Hadi (Syaffiq Sahli) dalam misinya. Sebagai permulaan misinya, Erina berjaya mendapat pekerjaan di syarikat pembangunan milikan Raif. Namun rancangannya untuk menghancurkan kehidupan Raif ini tidak semudah yang disangkakan kerana isteri pertama Raif, Aliya (Sherry Ibrahim) dan ayahnya, Dato Kamal (Hilal Azman) merupakan orang yang berkuasa di dalam syarikat tersebut.

    Misya (Shiqin Kamal), isteri kedua Raif merupakan seorang bekas pelakon filem yang popular. Misya seorang yang bijak dan ini membuatkan Erina perlu lebih berhati-hati. Erina sanggup untuk membuat apa sahaja demi dapat mencapai matlamat menghancurkan Raif dan keluarganya. 

    Menurut Afifah Nasir yang diangkat sebagai watak utama drama slot Samarinda ini, “Drama Haloba ini memang bertemakan tentang pembalasan dendam. Jadi, watak yang saya pegang kali ini, dia agak berlainan juga lah dari watak-watak yang saya pernah lakonkan dulu, sebab walaupun dalam konteks drama ini Erina mungkin bukan antagonis tapi dia punya perwatakan itu sendiri bagi dia nampak macam watak jahat la! Itu bagi saya agak istimewa kerana perwatakan begini membuatkan watak itu lebih kompleks. Jadi, saya harap kaki-kaki drama di luar sana dapat enjoy drama ini sebab jalan cerita dia memang best!”

    Nantikan lakonan hebat daripada Afifah Nasir, Aiman Hakim, Sherry Ibrahim, Shiqin Kamal, Ieda  Moin dan ramai lagi menerusi slot Samarinda ‘Haloba’ yang telah mula bersiaran pada 3 Oktober 2023, setiap hari Isnin hingga Khamis, pukul 10.00 malam di TV3 dan strim HD secara eksklusif di platform penstriman Tonton.

  • FOLDABLES ARE MAKING A COMEBACK, WITH OPPO DOMINATING THE CHINESE MARKET WITH A 14.8% SHARE.

    Foldable phones are making a strong comeback, with the form factor expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 114% from 2019 to 2025. China, the worldwide pioneer in the creation of foldable smartphones, paved the way for the smartphone form factor, contributing a 26% share of the global market last year.

    Within the Asian market, OPPO leads the foldable trend with the OPPO Find N2 Flip, which has topped China’s foldable smartphone segment, grabbing approximately 15% of the share during the period of January–May 2023. This demonstrates a clear consumer interest in foldables, and users are on the market for a unique user experience coupled with innovation.

    In understanding this, OPPO has set a gold standard in user experience for the foldable segment by introducing innovations that have provided a unique consumer experience. The brand, synonymous with innovation, has enhanced the Find N series’ split mode and interactive gestures while improving the device’s free hovering capabilities as well as optimizing parallel window functions, which simplify a user’s digital experience.

    Improvements in the Find N series have been able to convert consumers from mere “trial users” of foldable products to avid users who rely on them extensively in their daily lives.

     

    Bringing the Find N series to life

    The OPPO Find N is a result of 4 years of intense R&D and 6 generations of prototypes, with research going as far back as April 2018, effectively making it 5 years since the prototype conceptualization of OPPO’s first foldable.

    In bringing its first foldable to fruition, OPPO sought to answer the two pain points of existing foldable phones: a visible display crease and a perception of poor durability. Both of these factors resulted in the choice of the hinge for the Find N.

    Developed using the industry-leading waterdrop hinge, which was chosen primarily for its durability, the Find N’s flexion hinge is crafted from aircraft-grade high-strength steel and polymer. Therefore, the flexion hinge makes the Find N incredibly strong and slim and promotes seamless folding.

     

    Form meets function in the Find N series.

    The foldable is designed to complement a user’s lifestyle, and that includes anticipating heavy usage and, in the case of the foldable, opening and closing multiple times throughout the course of a productive day of usage.

    With the Find N2 Flip, users can have confidence that their amazing folding phone will continue to perform well throughout its lifetime. As certified by TÜV Rheinland through testing conducted under laboratory conditions, the smartphone stays tough even after 400,000 folding tests.

    In fact, seeing is believing, as OPPO allowed consumers to visualize the device’s durability at the OPPO Find N2 Flip Experience Store this year with the “200,000 folds challenge”.

    The OPPO Find N2 Flip went through a rigorous folding and unfolding process of up to 200,000 times, further showcasing how the Find N series is made with heavy usage in mind.

    At launch, the Find N2 Flip’s cover screen was the largest of any flip phone, measuring in at 3.26 inches in a vertical orientation, ideal for most use-cases. This innovative form factor has also brought new functionality to the flip device, with FlexForm Mode giving users the freedom to use the main camera set up for selfies, group shots, and even vlogging.

    Aside from the ability to transform the way we take pictures and videos, the OPPO Find N2 Flip also introduced the fastest charging of any flip phone, the 44W SUPERVOOC, taking the 4,300mAh battery from nearly empty to 50 percent in just 23 minutes.

     

    Introducing OPPO’s next-generation foldable experience

    In October 2023, OPPO is set to unveil the latest in its foldable experience for smartphone users everywhere. Set as the gold standard for foldables, the latest in the lineup for OPPO’s foldables will introduce users to upgrades across the board, from elevated styling and an improved cover screen experience to game-changing cameras.

    Be among the first to witness the unveiling of OPPO’s next-gen foldables by registering your interest here. Stay tuned to find out more about OPPO’s next-generation foldable at the upcoming global launch.

  • OHBULAN! ‘BESTIES, PAPE ROGER,’ ORGANIZE A MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS CAMPAIGN.

    This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is OhBulan%20Besties,%20Pape%20Roger.jpg

    The Mental Health Awareness Campaign, “Besties, Pape Roger,” has been launched by OHBULAN! in partnership with Mental Illness Awareness and Support (MIASA) and TikTok Malaysia as the official online platform partner. This month-long promotion coincides with World Mental Health Day, which is observed annually on October 10th.

    Mental illness has become an increasingly pressing issue in Malaysia, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. According to data, individuals seeking support through the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), an initiative under the National Mental Health Excellence Center, Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH), recorded a five-fold increase in 2022 compared to 2020 (Source: Berita Harian, October 10, 2022).

    Furthermore, the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2015 revealed that one in three Malaysians aged 16 and above faces challenges in mental health. In 2019, the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) reported that 2.3% of adults and 9.5% of children aged 10 to 15 years experienced mental health problems, with MOH predicting that these percentages are expected to continue rising.

    ‘Besties, Pape Roger’ Campaign Provides Information on Mental Illness

    Through a strong partnership with MIASA, the ‘Besties, Pape Roger’ campaign endeavors to offer precise insights into the fundamentals of mental illness, encompassing its various types, associated risk factors, and efficient management strategies. Furthermore, the campaign strives to challenge stigma and debunk stereotypes, fostering a more empathetic atmosphere while championing holistic well-being.

    Anita Abu Bakar, President and Founder of MIASA, said, “All mental illnesses have the potential for recovery, but they require a comprehensive approach and consistent treatment over time because symptoms often recur. Therefore, each individual requires varying durations to recover.”

    She added that it’s not easy for an individual to accept a diagnosis of mental health problems because it comes with many misconceptions and negative labels. In fact, some individuals are in denial and lose self-confidence.

    Hooi Yin Yin, Head of Operations and Marketing, TikTok Malaysia, said, “Change begins with a dialogue. The ‘Besties, Pape Roger’ campaign is rooted in the belief that frank, empathetic conversations between individuals can break unnecessary stigmas around mental health and well-being. When we encourage honest conversations, we empower individuals to share their experiences, learn from one another, and seek help, paving the way for healthier, safer, and more resilient communities.”

    Noraniza Azmi, Head of Malay Network, REV Media Group, said, “The issue of mental health is like a taboo topic among Malaysians, and on average, many are still hesitant or unsure about how to seek appropriate help. Therefore, it is hoped that this initiative can assist individuals experiencing mental illnesses in finding a path to resolution.

    Additionally, the ‘Besties, Pape Roger’ campaign also aims to encourage the community to understand individuals facing mental health challenges through audience-friendly and easily accessible content.”

    Celebrity Personal Sharing

    Leveraging the strength of OHBULAN! as Malaysia’s number one social entertainment platform, the editorial team interviewed several prominent local celebrities to share their experiences dealing with mental health issues.

    Azyan Shorlokman, Campaign Manager for ‘Besties, Pape Roger’ and also a content writer at OHBULAN!, said, “The editorial team is delighted that many celebrities and well-known influencers have come forward to share their personal experiences. Among them are Nadia Brian, Zynakal, Sharifah Sakinah, Shuhada Shukri, and Ayu Hot FM.”

    She emphasized that it’s important for the public to know that mental illness can happen to anyone. Therefore, patients should not be ashamed to seek appropriate help.

    Special Campaign Website: ‘Besties, Pape Roger’

    In addition to article content, videos, and special social media content for the campaign, OHBULAN! provides an exclusive website with an application that allows individuals to express their feelings anonymously. Through this platform, the audience can share their stories without any concerns, as no personal information is required.

  • Projek Winter Aid 11.0 oleh Syria Care Mula Dilaksanakan

    3 Oktober 2023, Shah Alam – Dalam usaha membawa bantuan kepada mangsa bencana kemanusiaan di utara Syria dan Lubnan, Syria Care dengan sukacita mengumumkan pelancaran Projek Winter Aid 11.0. Projek ini akan berlangsung dari 20 September 2023 hingga 31 Januari 2024.

    Projek Winter Aid sebelum ini dikenali sebagai Bantuan Musim Sejuk, adalah inisiatif tahunan yang dijalankan Syria Care sejak penubuhannya. Ia bertujuan untuk membantu komuniti yang memerlukan bantuan terutama dalam konteks cuaca sejuk yang melanda kawasan tersebut.

    Bantuan kali ini melibatkan dua portfolio utama di bawah gerak kerja Syria Care iaitu Core Relief Items dan Food Security di mana ia merangkumi keperluan asas serta khusus bagi musim sejuk.

    Pengumpulan sumbangan bertujuan membantu para pelarian Syria yang menetap di utara negara tersebut juga yang mencari perlindungan di Lubnan. Buat masa sekarang, terdapat sejumlah 4.6 juta orang di utara Syria, di mana 97% daripada mereka hidup dalam kemiskinan tegar, sementara lebih daripada dua pertiga daripada mereka telah kehilangan tempat tinggal. Di Lubnan pula, ekoran krisis ekonomi yang merudum meletakkan para pelarian berada di situasi yang parah.

    Sudah jatuh, ditimpa tangga. Begitulah gambaran situasi yang dihadapi oleh pelarian Syria.

    Bertahun-tahun mereka hidup derita akibat serangan roket dan berbagai senjata, menjadi gelandangan mencari peluang untuk hidup tak kira di mana, mereka diduga pula dengan gempa bumi berukuran 7.8 mengikut skala Richter.

    Lebih enam bulan selepas gempa bumi kuat yang melanda utara Syria dan selatan Türkiye itu, ramai daripada mereka yang terjejas di Syria seakan dilupakan: proses baik puli serta pembinaan semula hampir tiada. Kejatuhan mata wang Syria serta peningkatan bear kos barang makanan serta kos pembinaan menambahkan kesusahan yang terpaksa mereka lalui apatah lagi peluang pekerjaan sangat terhad.

    Projek Warm Their Winter iaitu salah satu sub projek di bawah Winter Aid yang akan berlangsung dari 14-22 Oktober di Dewan Melati, Shah Alam. Projek ini dilaksanakan bertujuan membuka peluang kepada orang ramai membantu para pelarian secara langsung. Bagi menguruskan serta menjayakan projek ini, dana berjumlah RM150,000 diperlukan. Orang ramai boleh menghantar pakaian musim sejuk baharu dan terpakai serta ‘barangan lain seperti selimut tebal, lampin pakai buang, tuala wanita juga peralatan perubatan pada tarikh dan tempat yang dinyatakan di atas.

    Projek ini menyasarkan dua kontena dengan anggaran berat 68 tan dan dijangka akan tiba pada awal Disember bagi diagihkan kepada mereka yang memerlukan di sana.

    Di samping itu, projek Fuel Aid juga digerakkan bagi memastikan lebih banyak keluarga mendapat kehangatan yang diperlukan untuk melalui musim sejuk yang panjang. Bahan bakar seperti briket zaitun, diesel, kayu api dan arang merupakan keperluan penting sepanjang tempoh ini.

    Projek OderFood yang terkenal dengan tagline ‘Anda pesan, kami hantar’ pula, berjalan seiring bagi memberi peluang kepada orang ramai memesan makanan untuk dihantar kepada para pelarian sepanjang tempoh Winter Aid dilaksanakan.

    Winter Aid tahun in menyasarkan agihan kepada lebih dari lapan kawasan di sekitar Idlib, utara Aleppo dan kawasan utara Lubnan dengan 50,000 penerima manfaat.

    Musim sejuk pada kebiasaannya berlarutan selama empat bulan, maka lebih banyak bantuan diperlukan untuk menampung keperluan yang mendesak pada ketika ini. Sangat diharapkan tahun ini, kita tidak lagi mendengar berita kematian kanak-kanak mahupun orang tua akibat kesejukan melampau.

    Sehubungan itu, Syria Care amat mengharap sumbangan daripada semua pihak bagi memastikan penghantaran bantuan dapat dibuat dengan seberapa segera.

    Setiap ringgit yang anda sumbangkan memberi makna yang besar kepada mereka di sana.

    Bagi memperkasa usaha menyebar luas maklumat berkenaan penderitaan mereka di sana serta pemberitahuan berkenaan pelaksanaan projek-projek Syria Care, saudara Furan Fawwaz dilantik sebagai ikon kemanusiaan Syria Care. Furgan yang terkenal dengan lagu ‘Wanita Terbaik’ juga seorang pempengaruh media sosial pernah mengeluarkan single solo bertajuk Nusaibah dilihat sebagai calon yang sesuai kerana latar belakang serta minatnya yang tinggi terhadap kerja-kerja kemanusiaan.

    Projek Winter Aid juga mendapat kerjasama serta sokongan Sinar Karangkraf, Min Qalby Foundation, Qalby App, World Peace Entertainment, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dan Amal Wanita Selangor (PEKAWANIS), Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA), Majlis Perwakilan Penduduk Zon 3 (MPP ZON 3), De Haramain, Sasuke Bundle, Moon’s Kitchen serta Jakel Shah Alam. Bagi yang berminat untuk bekerjasama boleh hubungi En. Muhammad Nufazli bin Rahman di talian 011-1136 2567.

    Sumbangan bagi Winter Aid serta kerja-kerja kemanusiaan Syria Care boleh dibuat ke akaun Maybank: 562106653575 atau CIMB :8601894560 dengan rujukan ‘winteraid’.
