THOUSANDS JOIN MILO® RENTAK AKTIF SENAM AEROBIK

Juan Aranols, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad was amongst the thousands at home who broke sweat to MILO® Rentak Aktif Senam Aerobik session via livestream on MILO® Malaysia Facebook page held last Sunday, 12 April, as the movement control order (MCO) entered its fifth week.  

MILO® Rentak Aktif Senam Aerobik is a series of weekly online fitness classes to encourage Malaysians to stay active while staying at home during the MCO. 

The session on Sunday was the second in the series that continues the MILO® Aktif Negaraku initiative to champion the goodness of sports and active as a way of life for all Malaysians.

Aranols said that not only MILO® wants to inspire Malaysians to take that crucial first step to get active but also lets everyone know that keeping active is, and should remain the norm, even as we adapt to this new normal lifestyle. 

“We are glad we found a way to continue to keep Malaysians energised to go further during this time. It is more important now to take better care of our health and wellbeing while we are at home, whether we are beginners or keeping up our routines to stay active.” 

Aranols was joined by his family who all enjoyed the session.

“Thanks to the wizardry of social media, even in isolation, we can bring people together to stay active. The goodness of MILO® has always been complemented by the goodness of sport; so we want to share with Malaysians that staying active is really easy.” 

He added that, as someone who maintains an active lifestyle, he related to the struggle of countless others who want to stay active and fit during MCO.

“Until the MCO is lifted and the authorities advise that it is safe to get active outdoors again, we have MILO® Rentak Aktif. While staying safe indoors, I encourage all to keep a regular fitness routine.

The one-hour class was led by fitness instructors Annie Tan, Shafiq Mickey, Sheena William, and Vivien Lee who each shared two easy-to-follow fitness routines. 

They kicked the session off with the MILO® Rentak Aktif routine synchronised to the MILO® Aktif Negaraku anthem, an upbeat song that gets people moving to an active lifestyle. 

For those who missed this week’s session, you may still catch up by following MILO® Malaysia Facebook event page, or join the next Facebook livestream happening this Sunday, 19 April from 4:30PM. 

Concurrently during the MCO, MILO® Malaysia is also running #ZonAktifMILO through social media, another way to inspire Malaysians to turn their homes into active playgrounds (Zon Aktif) for themselves and their families.

GROW HAPPY WITH NESTLE LACTOGROW, WIN CASH PRIZES

Are all of your readers here aware that last year, Malaysia dropped from the 35th spot to the 80th as the happiest country in the world.

OMG! Aren't we really happy? But with this restriction of movement due to the Covid-19 virus off course we are a little bit sad and not happy as many lifes are at stake.

Anyway, considering we are in the 80th spot and with that in mind, NESTLE LACTOGROW® is taking this opportunity to instil a positive mindset within Malaysians and remind them of the importance of growing happy – something that should begin from childhood. 

And, in conjunction with International Day of Happiness on last 20 March 2020, NESTLÉ LACTOGROW® hopes to encourage parents from all around the nation to raise their children happy and healthy through its ‘Grow Happy’ campaign.

Through the ‘Grow Happy’ campaign, NESTLÉ LACTOGROW® aims to spread happiness from a young age and empower parents to let their children grow happy.

This campaign kicks off with a social media contest to encourage parents to submit photos to share their ‘Grow Happy’ moments with their children, or even memories from their own childhood.

This is NESTLÉ LACTOGROW®’s initiative to remind everyone that it is the simple things in life that can bring joy to us, regardless of age, time and environment. 

Jasmin Estacio, Business Manager, NESTLÉ Nutrition Malaysia said: 

At NESTLÉ LACTOGROW®, we believe that there are many ways for children to grow happy. In fact, parents can easily incorporate this concept into their daily lives through simple ideas and activities. Through the ‘Grow Happy’ campaign, we hope to inspire Malaysian parents to allow their children to enjoy a happy and healthy childhood, as we believe that a child’s happiness forms the foundation of their satisfaction later in life. We are supportive of parents who have a similar mindset when it comes to raising their children, and we want to offer them the right nutritional products for them to grow happy and healthy.

In light of recent events impacting the globe, the campaign also serves as a reminder for Malaysians to stay positive and spread happiness together. We want to provide a platform for people to express themselves and let them know that we can still celebrate happiness with our kids through these challenging times. The anecdotes submitted by parents can become sources of inspiration, as well as interactive opportunities for other parents to exchange ideas with each other. These stories also serve as a reminder to everyone that sometimes, the little things in life are powerful enough to touch hearts and bring moments of true happiness.”

Photos submitted to the social media contest will be compiled by NESTLÉ LACTOGROW® to form a smiley photo collage. 

This collage will then be displayed during the upcoming ‘Karnival Grow Happy’, in an attempt to break the record for the ‘Biggest Smiley Portrait Collage 2020’ in the Malaysia Book of Records.

The ‘Grow Happy’ social media contest is hosted on the Nestlé Start Well 2gether Facebook event page by following this url address which is at  https://www.facebook.com/events/530573900904412/ or CLICK HERE. and it is ongoing from 6 March to 24 April.

To stand a chance to win cash prizes, participants will need to upload a ‘Grow Happy’ moment of them with their children or from their childhood onto the event page. 

In the caption, they will need to share their personal definition of what ‘Grow Happy’ means to them, by starting with “My Grow Happy moment is…” followed by the hashtags #LactogrowMY and #GrowHappy. 

Only submissions of photos with children one year old and above will be eligible for entry. 

The first and second place winners will be awarded RM2,888 and RM1,888 respectively, while the five consolation winners will receive RM500 each. 

There will also be weekly winners who will receive exclusive NESTLÉ LACTOGROW® water tumblers.

REMEMBERING THE KING OF ROCK N ROLL - ELVIS

Hard Rock Cafe Chairman, Tan Sri Syed Yusof Syed Nasir recently performed Elvis Presley songs to a packed Hard Rock Cafe Kuala Lumpur, paying tribute to the legendary King of Rock and Roll on the anniversary of his death.

Elvis Presley is the single most significant figure in rock and roll history where he completely revolutionised music and his influence changed the entertainment industry forever and people quickly fell in love with his amazing voice and pelvic thrusting hips,” said Tan Sri Syed Yusof, better known as Jojo by his friends.


Elvis set in motion a style of music that dominated the world for the rest of the century. It was the beginning of youth culture, the breakdown of inhibition and ended up creating a generation that was able to have the freedom of expression forever changing music and left a lasting legacy, which positively influenced the world.

Tan Sri Syed Yusof rocked the stage in a stylish black suit complete with a golden eagle print, high collar and dark glasses, supported by Suraj Singh, a well known Elvis impersonator, replete with a high-collared coat, bell bottoms an almost identical voice to the King.

PERSAHABATAN TERJALIN MELALUI 'GENG'

‘Freshies for life!’, tagline yang sangat mudah namun cukup ‘catchy’ dan penuh bermakna. 

Persahabatan yang terjalin di antara tiga sahabat baik, Isabella (lakonan Sherry Alhadad), Mariam (lakonan Lisa Surihani) dan Anita (lakonan Nadiya Nisaa) sejak dari kecil hingga ke zaman persekolahan telah mencetuskan kewujudan frasa indah ini yang membawa 1001 maksud buat mereka.

Namun begitu, harapan untuk terus bersahabat sehingga usia menginjak dewasa terbantut apabila ketiga-tiga mereka membawa haluan masing-masing dan mula berkerja demi kelangsungan hidup. 

Kini, setelah lebih dari sedekad lamanya terpisah, mereka terjumpa kembali, tetapi bukan dalam situasi yang sempurna. Ia merupakan satu pertemuan semula atau ‘reunion’ yang begitu menguji tahap persahabatan mereka bertiga, dan dianggap penentu sama ada keakraban yang terjalin pada satu ketika dahulu akan berputik kembali atau terus terkubur. 

Itu merupakan sedikit latar belakang atau jalan penceritaan yang diangkat pengarah, Umi Salwana Omar, dalam filem televisyen (FTV) terbaharu di saluran Astro First Eksklusif berjudul ‘GENG’. 

“Persahabatan”, tema yang dilihat sangat ringkas, namun Umi berjaya mengolah keseluruhan plot menjadi satu naskhah yang menghiburkan dan sesuai untuk tontonan seisi keluarga. 

Walaupun ‘GENG’ dilihat sarat dengan aksi tangkas, suspens, ‘girl-power’, dan penuh drama, Umi tetap mengekalkan genre komedi sebagai elemen utama dari satu babak ke babak seterusnya. 

Keunikan beliau dalam menyuntik unsur gelak tawa dianggap seolah-olah ‘signature’ atau kebiasaan kepada karya-karya yang mendapat sentuhannya seperti ‘Oh My English’ dan yang terbaharu, filem ‘Gol & Gincu Vol. 2’

Umi turut terlibat secara langsung di belakang tabir untuk filem-filem hebat seperti ‘Istanbul Aku Datang’, ‘Manisnya Cinta Di Cappadocia’, ‘Hanyut’, ‘Zaiton Ceritaku’, ‘Hanyut’, ‘Nostalgila’, ‘Asia's Got Talent’, ‘Gantung’, ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ dan banyak lagi.

‘GENG’ bakal menemui penonton mulai 18 Julai (Khamis) ini di saluran 480 dan untuk pilihan alternatif, ia turut boleh ditonton di platform digital ‘On Demand’

Naskhah ini merupakan kolaborasi di antara Astro First Eksklusif, Cinematic Sdn Bhd dan Perempuan Productions, dan ia menyaksikan penglibatan ramai nama-nama besar industri seperti Sherry Alhadad, Lisa Surihani, Nadiya Nisaa, Hisham Hamid, Alif Satar dan Fatimah Abu Bakar.

The shoot is in line with Vivo’s Light Up Your Night campaigns which focuses on the Vivo V15 Pro’s style and functionalities for capturing images on stylish night out.

The shoot which was presented by Vivo Malaysia and created by the team at Pin Prestige, highlights the capabilities of the Vivo V15 Pro namely the World’s First 32MP Elevating Front Camera, and how Vivo has successfully combined style and technology to produce the ultimate fashionista’s smartphone.

Users can easily capture professional-grade photos with the V15 Pro, thanks to the 48 Million Quad Pixel Sensor, 8MP AI Super Wide-Angle Camera, and 5MP Depth Camera. 
The“four-in-one pixel” technology in the main rear camera combines four pixels into one large pixel to deliver high-quality photos even in the dark. The AI Super Wide-Angle Camera can expand up to 120 degrees, capturing more people and fuller landscape shots. 

This powerful hardware is complemented with AI to make professional photo-taking a breeze. Borrowing from V11, V15Pro is equipped with AI photography features including AI Face Beauty and AI Portrait Framing. The all-new AI Super Night Mode makes shaky night shots a thing of the past, as consumers can now capture amazing night scenery without a tripod or a DSLR camera.
AI Super Night Mode can instantly take multiple photos at different exposures. It then brilliantly combines them to greatly improve brightness and clarity, meaning night scenes can now be captured with a high level of detail and stability.
The Ultra FullViewTMDisplay of the V15 pro comes at 6.39 inches and the 19.5:9 Super AMOLED display produces awe-inspiring visual design, utterly seamless from end-to end. With the earpiece, light and proximity sensors all concealed from view, the side and top bezels are reduced to just 1.75mm and 2.22mm respectively, resulting in a maximized screen-to-body ratio of 91.64%.

FIRE FLY, TESCO MALAYSIA TREATS SINGLE MOTHERS

In the spirit of Christmas, Firefly Airlines together with Tesco Malaysia played host to a group of 70 single mothers and their children at Tesco Mutiara Damansara recently.

The mothers with their children aged between 9 to 12 years old from the Selangor Single Mothers Association in Kuala Selangor were treated to a funfilled afternoon themed ‘Christmas Treats with Single Mothers & Kids’.

Both FireFly Airlines and Tesco Malaysia joined hands in treating each family with RM200 Tesco shopping vouchers together with goodie bags. The mothers and their children were given about almost 2 hours to shop items they needed and desired.




It was a heart-warming sight to see the happiness mirrored in the children’s faces when they picked their favourite items such as chocolates, soft-toys, stationary items and many more, whilst the mothers were seen to be getting their hands-on grocery items like sardine cans, bread, cooking oil and rice bags amongst other household items.
“We strongly believe in giving back to the community. No matter how tough we think our lives are, there’s always someone who has to face challenges that are even tougher than ours. The biggest and sole reward is the realization that we have made a significant change in someone’s life. Even if not “significant" then the least could be a positive change nevertheless”, shared Firefly CEO, Ignatius Ong.
Meanwhile, Jida Mohamed, Head of Communications & CSR, Tesco Malaysia said. “We are happy to co-host this event with Firefly Airlines for the first time as we share common values of giving back to the community. We believe that every little help can make a big difference especially to this group of single mothers. We hope through this little help from Tesco and Firefly, it will bring extra joy and a meaningful celebration for them and their family this year”.

GILLETTE VENUS  REVEALS NEW WAY TO SMOOTH SKIN FOR WOMEN

Procter & Gamble recently launched the number one-selling female razor brand in the world, Gillette Venus in Malaysia with the introduction of the Gillette Venus ComfortGlide White Tea razor. 

At the launch, Gillette Venus also announced its first local brand ambassador; the Malaysian SEA Games artistic gymnastics gold medalist, Farah Ann Abdul Hadi.

The Gillette Venus range of products now available in Malaysia, is created especially for women to attain smooth, longer lasting hair-free skin at home, at their convenience. 

The Gillette Venus ComfortGlide White Tea which was launched at the event, is designed with built-in moisture bars that have rich body butters and a fresh tropical scent with no shaving cream required.

It features three curve-hugging blades for a close, comfortable shave even on sensitive skin. The ergonomic handle is made for a woman’s grip, and less likely to slip in the bath or shower where most women shave.



“Gillette Venus understands the importance of feeling good in one’s own smooth skin. The upkeep of a woman’s grooming routine can oftentimes be a lengthy, painful and expensive process.  Keeping that in mind, Gillette Venus’ specially designed range of products including the Gillette Venus ComfortGlide White Tea is the solution for today’s modern-day women to help them achieve smooth skin in a convenient, painless and affordable way,” said Utkarsh Mohan, Shavecare Category Leader, P&G Malaysia, Singapore, Global Development Markets Asia and Vietnam at the launch event.

During the launch, Gillette Venus addressed the several common myths about hair removal which women all over the world believe to be true with a panel discussion.

“Sometimes we receive beauty advice and tips from friends and family without knowing if there is any real truth behind it. It may not be easy to identify fact from fiction with so many different and contradicting beliefs about hair removal. Hence, Gillette Venus is here to educate women in Malaysia on the misconceptions associated with hair removal methods,” Mohan added.

Sharing her thoughts in the panel discussion, brand ambassador Farah Ann mentioned that proper grooming from head to toe is important for her as a national gymnast and she has always followed a strict regime when it comes to taking care of her skin. 

“I don’t have to worry with Gillette Venus as its unique design ensures that the female razor is not harsh on the skin and leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturized. To top it off, shaving is hassle free,” said Farah Ann.

Sharing her expertise on the topic, Dr. Yeow Hui Qian, aesthetic physician said, “A majority of women have apprehensions with regards to shaving. They refrain from shaving as they believe that shaving will make their skin become darker or that their hair would grow faster and thicker. However, in reality hair growth is determined by one’s genetic and hormonal makeup.”

The Gillette VenusÒ range of products are available for purchase at all leading retailers in Malaysia such as Tesco, Giant, AEON, AEON Big, Mydin, Watsons, Guardian and more. Please refer in-store for more details. All decisions on pricing, promotion, distribution, assortment and shelving are at the sole discretion of the retailer.

THE BEAUTY OF RAMADAN 

When Samsung first introduced its Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge to Malaysians, one of the features that took the nation by storm is its outstanding built-in camera. Many were looking for the perfect smartphone camera to take great shots in any condition; and much to their anticipation, Samsung’s latest flagship smartphones made users rethink what they can do with it. One such fan to appreciate this remarkable camera in a smartphone is award-winning Malaysian photographer, Yaman Ibrahim, who has since begun his journey of capturing his country’s beauty with his Galaxy S7 edge.

Inspired by the holy month of Ramadhan and the customs that come along with it, Yaman embarked on a quest to uncover and showcase his unique perspective on how Malaysians celebrate Ramadhan as a prelude to the upcoming Raya festivities. Yaman, who is based in Kuala Lumpur, harnessed his interest in photography since childhood. With a deep passion in all forms of photography, his new series “Colors of Ramadhan”, all shot with the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, perfectly encapsulated the culture, practices and traditions of the Ramadhan month.



The magnificent architecture of mosque interiors as shot by Yaman Ibrahim

“As a Malaysian, my goal is to provide an accurate representation of what my country is to me – in all its charm and splendour. The Galaxy S7 edge really was an extension of my being and my vision. It showed me more than what I thought a phone was capable of doing and I too was pleasantly surprised by the unexpectedly amazing shots,” said Yaman Ibrahim.

This photography series has touched face on what the lead up to Hari Raya is all about – the Malaysian culture and lifestyle, the joy of gathering together, the crowd of the evening bazaars and the peacefulness of prayers. 


The Galaxy S7 edge captures even the busiest of lights in night setting

“When we designed the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, we wanted to ensure that it truly serves as the perfect lifestyle companion. Taking pictures during the day is great especially with sunlight as your natural lighting; however, the night holds just as much beauty. This is where the Galaxy S7 edge’s camera comes in – its superior quality helps users take stunning images regardless of the time of day,” said Mr Lee Jui Siang, Vice President, IT and Mobile, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

People from all walks of life going about Ramadhan as seen through Yaman’s Galaxy S7 edge

As the world’s 1st smartphone to incorporate Dual Pixel technology, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are capable of producing photographs of DSLR quality; perfectly retaining every detail in the contrasting shades of Malay cuisine to the brilliantly intricate architecture of the mosques. So as the kids play with fireworks and sparks, the fast auto-focus means no more blurred shots when you need to take blink-of-an-eye moments!



The captivating splendour of lights dancing at night perfectly captured by Yaman Ibrahim with his Galaxy S7 edge

Both front and rear cameras are also built with f1.7 lens, allowing more light in into the photo for brighter shots that essentially capture the pure absolute beauty and rich colours even under low-light conditions, making its camera performance unrivalled and one-of-a-kind. Its outstanding low-light shooting function uncovers a whole new perspective into Malaysia’s rich culture and nightlife, and like what many have said about this the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge – this game-changing smartphone never does fail to impress.

They can either play the role of police to catch thieves, be a fireman, dig lava out of the volcano or fill up the aircraft fuel before departing. With the completion of a minimum of 2 activities, children are entitled to a personalized certificate to be the hero of city adventures and a set of badges stickers to complete their mini passport. 

In addition to the missions, visitors can also  meet mascots from the LEGO® CITY universe as well as play exciting activities including building bricks with LEGO® and exploring LEGO® CITY missions in the digital world on iPads. 

As a part of the LEGO® CITY ADVENTURES event, LEGO® will be hosting an activity called “Unleash your kid’s imagination”.  This limited period activity will require participants to leave a comment on the LEGO® CITY ADVENTURES event post on LEGO’s official Facebook starting 25 May. 


Participants can post a photo of any LEGO® CITY element built by their child with a caption not more than 30-words. The first 100 participants to bring their children to the LEGO® CITY ADVENTURES event at the Queensbay Mall and present their post to the event crew have the opportunity to redeem a LEGO® mystery gift.

What’s Next?

LEGO® Malaysia is on the lookout for the best LEGO® CITY builder through the LEGO® CITY ADVENTURES “Top Builders of the Month” nationwide contest. Taking place in July till October 2016, this contest will see children across the country using LEGO® CITY bricks to build and complete the adventure shown on the LEGO® store’s existing diorama display, and narrate their story using the ‘what happens in between’ storyline.   

Children can submit photos of their creation via LEGO.com/cityadventures and a Facebook post with #LEGOCityAdventuresMY and a 30-word story caption. The top builders winners will be selected monthly with the winning builds showcased in selected LEGO® stores and on LEGO.com/cityadventures

LENOVO UNVEILED LATEST APPROACH OF DEVICES

Global technology leader Lenovo recently  unveiled its latest approach in  providing the full range of ultimate user experiences, via its “Empower, Engage and Experience” umbrella themes, across a new range of devices spanning its consumer, commercial and enterprise segments.

At the heart of Lenovo is the belief that life rewards those who ‘Never Stand Still’ and that smart connectivity will help people to get the most from life. The company is focused on making all areas of its customers’ lives better. Lenovo aims to make work more efficient, by delivering smart end-user devices in addition to powerful infrastructure, all with connected services and apps. With the devices and themes launched today, Lenovo continues to serve the diverse needs and interests of its key customer segments, while committing to future offerings that will similarly empower, engage and offer unprecedented experience. 

The first strategic theme will Empower users by providing them with the capabilities for high performance at the core of their businesses, focusing on Security and Reliability. 

Businesses are being transformed by the continuing evolution in data centers - into being more efficient, flexible, and scalable as well as being able to provide customers with more personalised offerings. In this endeavour, Lenovo is primed to be the enterprise IT partner who is able to leverage its uncontested competencies in designing PCs that do more, its partnerships with software and hyperconvergence leaders, and its open ecosystem strategy, to provide the full range of enterprise with best-of-breed solutions that are easy to deploy, operate on the highest standards of security, and are moreover extremely robust.  

The second strategic theme will Engage on-the-go customers of every profile, as they demand high performance combined with ultimate portability, and that their devices strike the perfect balance between leading specifications and a form factor that suits a range of situations - keeping the gateway open and firing for both personal expression and professional control.  Lenovo is committed to expanding on its track record of engineering PCs that lead the innovation trail, and on its position as the world’s leading PC supplier, with a diverse offering of devices that are as mobile as they are flexible to individual demands. 

The third strategic theme concerns enabling Experience; an important part of Lenovo’s game plan, whether by enhancing work or play. Lenovo’s purpose-driven innovation certainly has, as one part of its end goals, the enrichment of contemporary human experience with seamless, powerful access to rich content and applications. This begins with pushing the boundaries of device design to offer products that are Recognisably Different: lighter, more fluid in form, and containing more customisable options. Some of these designs are eminently suited to the business professional who is a techie to the core, while some are fine-tuned for enjoyment of LENOVOMusic, LENOVOMovie and LENOVOGaming in high quality graphics, sound and integrated experience. 

“Here at Lenovo, we understand that our customers’ needs are always changing, and we believe that we should anticipate how to take your choices to the next level, and offer you every choice that will make it easier to work, to play - to live as you wish. We want to empower, to engage and to give you an experience that will be based on who you are, and what you seek. We want you to have in your life, all the security and reliability, all the mobility, and all the difference that makes things better,” said Khoo Hung Chuan, Country General Manger, Lenovo Malaysia.

HUAWEI P9 LAUNCH AT BATTERSEA, LONDON

London, 6th April 2016: Today, at an exclusive launch event at London’s Battersea Evolution, Huawei Consumer Business Group unveiled the much-awaited Huawei P9 series, destined to reinvent smartphone photography.  

At the global technology brand’s star-studded event, Hollywood actor Henry Cavill, who features in the Huawei P9 campaign alongside Scarlett Johansson (both global product ambassadors for Huawei P9 series), was joined by a host of world-renowned photographers including Mary McCartney and National Geographic World Press Photo Award winning photographer David Guttenfelder.  

The event was attended by over 1000 media and guests – including Huawei UK Board members Sir Andrew Cahn and Dame Helen Alexander and business leaders from around the world including: Jim Egan, CEO BBC News; Jonathan Newhouse, Chairman and Chief Executive Condé Nast International; and Anita Chang, Publisher Vogue China. 

The Huawei P9 is the first smartphone from the collaboration between Huawei and the global iconic camera brand Leica, resulting in a stunning dual-lens camera in a smartphone, which sets a new benchmark in smartphone camera technology, with more light and better clarity, to capture brilliant colour and striking black and white images in true Leica style.

Images from the ground-breaking dual-lens camera are brought to life on a 5.2 inch full HD display. The P9 is powered by Huawei’s latest Kirin 955 chipset and runs Android Marshmallow 6.0. 

The Huawei P9 family fuses cool, sleek  design and precision detail with state-of-the art technology to change the way we see the world. It continues Huawei’s legacy of premium mobile devices that have set the industry standard for elegance and performance. 


Richard Yu (above) CEO, Huawei Business Group, comments: “We believe in cultural technology, born out of people’s curiosity and desire to be creative by changing the way they experience the world around them. With the P9, working with Leica, we have challenged the norm of what was possible in lens technology – a game-changer for smartphone photography.

“Our launch city of London is renowned globally for cultural excellence. We see the P9 – coupled with our iconic partners, who are equally renowned for their determination to look beyond what is possible, whether in the field of creative arts, design or engineering – as the next step in a visual revolution.”


“As technology changes the way we capture and enjoy photography, we are excited to work with a like-minded partner such as Huawei, equally committed to a cultural, visual future,” commented Oliver Kaltner, CEO of Leica Camera AG. “Huawei’s passion for pushing boundaries of innovation, matched with our proven expertise in camera and lens engineering, has made for a beautiful collaboration in creation of the P9.”



Hollywood stars and faces of the campaign, Henry Cavill (above) and Tony award-winner Scarlett Johannson, will appear in a new TV commercial shot in Shanghai and New Zealand by famed director Baillie Walsh from RSA, which will air internationally from mid April. Where both stars are normally the subjects of the camera’s gaze, here we see them putting the Huawei P9’s amazing camera technology to the test to capture, share and compete for the best shot...but who will win? The exciting preview trailer of the TV commercial was aired at the event: showcasing the tantalizing meeting of two Hollywood stars; Shanghai with Hollywood; Leica with Huawei; and black and white with colour.  

Henry Cavill comments: "I have a genuine passion for technology, so I’m excited by the opportunities created by the P9 dual lens. I’m impressed by the partnership of Huawei and Leica in their engineering of a true high performance smartphone camera. They've done this and managed to package it into a fantastic device as well.”



Sending a message from the set of her latest film Scarlett Johansson comments: “The art of photography really resonates with me. It was exciting to see Huawei is partnering with world’s iconic camera brand Leica to create the amazing device.  I was delighted to work with Huawei on this project as I love the way it invites us to feed our curiosity and share new perspectives.”

Huawei also partnered with a number of high profile professional photographers to support the launch of Huawei P9 including iconic fashion photographer, Mario Testino, who shot the campaign visuals. Other renowned creators involved in the project include: Mary McCartney; National Geographic photographer, David Guttenfelder; Reuben Krabbe, from extreme sports community, Banff; and Zhu Yinghao, Conde Nast Traveler magazine; and the renowned photographic community, Eye Em. Each photographer collaborated by shooting a collection of images with the P9, inspired by and to showcase the ground-breaking new capabilities of the smartphone.

Caesars Entertainment Collaborates with WeChat and Ayla Networks 


It was an evening of fun and joy when media members as well as bloggers joined  together  in an appreciation party hosted by WeChat, the world's fastest growing mobile social communication application, at a renowned hotel in Kuala Lumpur recently

Besides catering dinner and fun filled games with WeChat features, WeChat Malaysia also announced their payment gateway plan o the year and showcased it's latest collaboration with Caesar's Entertainment that happened recently at Las Vegas.

Making the announcement was Angie Tan (pix above), Director of Business Development, WeChat Malaysia. According to her Caesar's Entertainment and Ayla Networks,a provider of the industry’s first Agile Internet of Things (“IoT”) platform leveraged on WeChat, the leading social communication platform, to showcase a number of IoT-enabled suites at Caesars’ latest resort on the Las Vegas Strip, The LINQ Hotel & Casino.

“The LINQ Hotel adopts a revolutionary approach to fulfill the ever-evolving wants and needs of the Las Vegas consumer. At the pace at which mobile and wireless technologies are advancing, we believe that consumers are increasingly demanding for a connected and always-on hotel room experience. We’re thrilled to be able to collaborate with WeChat and Ayla to give the world a glimpse of how we envision this experience to be,” said Tariq Shaukat, Caesars Entertainment’s Chief Marketing Officer in his press release.

To initiate the Hotel Room of the Future experience, visitors were requested to download the latest version of the WeChat app on their smart phones. Once they entered The LINQ Hotel connected suite, they were prompted to scan a room-specific QR code by using the WeChat app, which automatically directed them to follow the specific suite they are in on WeChat. Participants were then able to control and interact with the room from their phones remotely via WeChat. 

The connected ecosystem of devices in these hotel suites are all powered by Ayla Network’s Agile IoT cloud platform, including connected dimmable lights, blinds and curtains, thermostats, door locks, smart plugs, and more. Once attendees are connected to the suite on their phones, they were able to manage and customize settings on WeChat of how they would like to interact with these devices, and through advanced rules and data manipulation capabilities, how the devices would interact with one another. For example, if a user selects the “sleep” scenario on WeChat, the room will automatically respond by dimming the lights, closing blinds and curtains, changing the room temperature, and locking the door, all according to the user’s pre-set personal preferences. 

“Ayla is excited to unveil our collaboration with Caesars Entertainment and WeChat by powering IoT for The LINQ Hotel, which is really just a tip of the iceberg of unlocking the power of when IoT meets social media,” said Dave Friedman, CEO and co-founder of Ayla Networks in his statement.


"The connected hotel suites at The LINQ Hotel will offer a glimpse into what the future holds for homes and the hospitality industry alike. We’re already seeing massive growth in IoT adoption around the world in all trades and verticals, and we’re expecting to see an even more dramatic increase in 2015,” adds Friedman.


The event also saw new guest artist, Kamelia Syermain performing two songs, Sam's Smith "I'm Not The Only One' and her own single, 'Dengar Khabar Aku'.

Lucky medias got to getaway with prizes such as iPads, power banks and an air con during lucky draw session as well as games on 'Shake the WeChat' on their mobile phones.

GET CLASSY WITH SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2

Two days after Samsung Malaysia Electronics launched its latest Samsung Galaxy Note 4 blending an evolved S-Pen with a superior viewing experience at Kuala Lumpur recently, first five lucky owners of the extraordinary innovation were surprised  with a brand new Samsung Gear 5 as a free gift.

And at the same time, 500 customers who signed up for Galaxy Note 4 deals with Samsung telco partners - Celcom, DiGi, Maxis as well as Harvey Norman, received a complimentary Gear Circle, a stylish and intuitive necklet that functions as earphones.

As Vince Chong, one of the first five owners of the smartphone said:

"I;ve been a Samsung fan for three years now,  so when i heard about the launch I knew I must own it. I waited since 6 am to be one of the first to purchase it and it was worth waiting because I also took home a free Gear S and Gear Circle."

Meanwhile, during the launch of the Galaxy Note 4, Lee Dong Yong, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics said that with the introduction of the new Galaxy Note series, Samsung brought the age-old culture of the pen and notepad into the digital world.

"The new Galaxy Note 4 introduces the most refined Note experience to date by combining all the latest tecnology that users expect from the Galaxy series," added Lee Dong Yong. Also present and supporting the event are celebrities and personalities alike Datin Tiara Jacqueline (pix below, second right), Fahrin Ahmad (left) and swimmer, Pandalela Rinong (right)..


Powerful Performance that Matters the Most to You
With the capturing images on a smartphone fast becoming a necessity, the GALAXY Note 4 boasts an advanced camera system that reproduces brighter and clearer images. The 3.7 megapixel front-facing camera with f1.9 offers a default 90-degree shooting angle, and up to 120-degree wide selfie to redefine group photography. Meanwhile, the 16 megapixel rear-facing camera features a Smart Optical Image Stabiliser to counter-balance camera shake and automatically extends exposure time in dark settings.

The GALAXY Note 4 showcases an extraordinary 5.7-inch Quad HD (2560x1440) Super AMOLED display to reproduce clearer and more vivid images with deep contrast and better viewing angles. The response time of the screen is as fast as a millionth of a second for a brand new viewing experience.



A refined Multi Window feature goes hand-in-hand with the large screen, and maximises multi-tasking. Users can choose how they access their applications with full, split or pop-up screens, and easily change the size and positioning of apps on the screen with one intuitive swipe.

Designed to help consumers simplify their daily lives, the GALAXY Note 4 comes with a wide selection of essential features that have been enhanced, so users get even more from their mobile device. For instance, the Fast Charging feature and Ultra Power Saving Mode make it possible for the GALAXY Note 4 to charge faster, and at the same time, ensure that users don’t run out of power when they need it most. Because the GALAXY Note 4 has multiple microphones and an improved speaker-phone, it provides better noise cancellation when speaking in loud environments. A built-in Voice Recorder offers eight different directional voice tagging and a selective playback capability that allows users to isolate and listen to specific voices in a group conversation.

The GALAXY Note 4 also features an improved Fingerprint Scanner, to secure personal data and the world’s first UV sensor in a mobile device.

S-Pen and S Note for Everyday Tasks
Key product distinguisher and primary tool to simplify everyday tasks – the S-Pen – now offers a much more authentic pen experience, with a more natural brush effect that perfectly emulates writing on paper with a fountain or calligraphy pen. The S-Pen also introduces a more user-friendly Air Command functionality along with other intuitive features such as Action Memo, Screen Write, Image Clip and Smart Select that allows users to create and collect content with ease. A new Smart Select feature enables users to easily piece together content from different origins, and share it with ease.

The GALAXY Note 4 also provides users with a choice of multiple, seamless note-taking methods integrated with Samsung’s S Note application. New feature – the innovative Photo Note – allows users to take a picture of their notes either on paper or on a board, before converting it into an S Note. Users can also unleash their creativity by jotting down their thoughts quickly with the Voice Memo.



Premium Yet Functional Design
For the very first time, the GALAXY Note 4 features a premium metal frame with fluid curvature that seamlessly blends with the device display. Its 2.5D glass screen, inherited from the GALAXY S3, offers extra protection, while perfectly complementing the device’s rich viewing experience. A soft-textured back cover provides incredible comfort yet superior grip to enhance durability.
