Landskap muzik alternatif tempatan bakal menyaksikan sebuah gandingan yang jarang sekali berlaku menerusi penganjuran “Indiescovery 2026: Gabungan Eksklusif 4 Nama Besar Muzik Indie Tanah Air”.
Konsert berskala besar anjuran RR Entertainment ini bakal menyatukan empat kumpulan ikonik negara — Butterfingers, Bunkface, Bittersweet, dan Masdo — di atas satu pentas bersejarah pada 18 Julai 2026, jam 8.00 malam di Zepp Kuala Lumpur.
Gabungan eksklusif ini disifatkan sebagai antara barisan artis yang paling wajib ditonton tahun ini kerana setiap kumpulan membawa portfolio muzik yang membentuk identiti budaya anak muda. Butterfingers bakal mengubati rindu peminat lewat persembahan istimewa album ikonik mereka, “Transcendence X Butter Worth Pushful”. Pentas kemudiannya bakal dihangatkan lagi dengan bertenaganya aksi pop punk daripada Bunkface, nuansa emosional Brit-pop daripada Bittersweet, serta alunan retro moden yang dibawakan oleh Masdo.
Bagi memastikan legasi muzik independen ini terus berkembang, pihak penganjur turut memberi penghormatan kepada pelapis baharu dengan menampilkan band Noise sebagai aksi pembuka tirai rasmi, sekali gus merapatkan jurang antara generasi lama dan baharu.
Lebih daripada sekadar sebuah acara hiburan, konsert ini merupakan simbol apresiasi kepada para penggiat seni bebas yang terus berkarya, bereksperimen, dan mempertahankan identiti alternatif mereka di luar arus perdana.
Keterujaan peminat untuk menyaksikan gabungan eksklusif ini terbukti apabila tiket bagi kategori CAT 3 Seating dilaporkan sudah hampir 90% terjual setakat ini.
Memandangkan kapasiti ruang di Zepp Kuala Lumpur adalah terhad untuk sebuah acara berprofil tinggi, para peminat dinasihatkan untuk membuat pembelian awal bagi mengelakkan kekecewaan. Tiket yang merangkumi kategori CAT 1 & CAT 2 Standing, CAT 3 & CAT 4 Seating, serta VIP Box boleh didapati secara dalam talian melalui platform rasmi Ticket2U di pautan https://www.ticket2u.com.my/event/49944.
Demam filem seram tempatan nampaknya kembali membara apabila karya terbaharu yang paling dinantikan tahun ini, POLONG, berjaya mencatatkan rekod luar biasa dengan meraih lebih 25,000 penonton menerusi tayangan awal, meskipun belum pun memulakan tayangan rasminya secara meluas di seluruh negara. Kejayaan awal ini menjadi bukti kukuh bahawa naskhah arahan pengarah berkaliber, Zulkarnain Azhar, berjaya mencuri perhatian peminat genre seram yang mendambakan kelainan menerusi gabungan elemen mistik tradisi dan suspens psikologi yang lebih segar.
Malah, beberapa lokasi tayangan awal di rangkaian pawagam utama dilaporkan menerima sambutan luar biasa sehingga mencatatkan jualan tiket penuh dalam tempoh yang sangat singkat selepas kaunter jualan dibuka. Fenomena ini turut mencetuskan perbualan hangat di platform media sosial apabila rata-rata penonton awal mula berkongsi reaksi luar biasa terhadap atmosfera seram dan naratif filem tersebut, sehinggakan ungkapan bahawa mereka telah menjadi saksi dan merasai sendiri ketakutan filem berkenaan kini mula tular.
Kekuatan utama filem POLONG bukan sekadar bersandarkan kepada elemen seram tradisional semata-mata, sebaliknya ia membawa penonton menyelami plot yang lebih gelap dan emosional mengenai kisah dosa silam, legasi hitam, serta akibat buruk daripada amalan ilmu mistik yang diwarisi. Naskhah ini diperkasakan lagi dengan garapan visual yang sinematik, susunan bunyi yang mendebarkan, serta barisan pelakon yang berjaya menterjemahkan intensiti emosi dalam setiap babak untuk memberikan impak seram yang sangat realistik kepada penonton.
Melihat kepada momentum positif yang semakin memuncak ini, POLONG dijangka bakal menjadi antara filem seram tempatan yang memberi impak paling besar untuk tahun ini. Hari ini menandakan bermulanya hari pertama tayangan rasmi POLONG di pawagam seluruh Malaysia dengan lebih banyak lokasi dan slot tayangan dibuka khas untuk para penonton. Bagi peminat yang mendambakan pengalaman menyeramkan, kini giliran anda pula untuk mengunjungi pawagam berdekatan sekiranya anda cukup berani.

This historic accolade marks an unprecedented 15th consecutive year that the organization has received the highest honor bestowed by BMW Group Malaysia. Formalized at the recent 2026 Dealer Awards Night, this monumental achievement serves to re-establish Auto Bavaria’s standing as the nation’s foremost authorized dealer for the BMW brand.
Underscoring its operational breadth, Auto Bavaria emerged as the most heavily decorated dealership of the evening, securing a total of 40 accolades across its BMW, MINI, and BMW Motorrad business units. The awards recognize a comprehensive standard of merit across all primary corporate pillars, including sales performance, aftersales operational excellence, customer experience innovation, marketing efficacy, and portfolio leadership within BMW Group Financial Services.
This sustained record of organizational merit was driven by exemplary individual leadership and performance across Auto Bavaria’s national network. In the premier Platinum category of the BMW Excellence Club Award, Dealer Principals Joe Lee Se Juan of Auto Bavaria Ara Damansara and Lim Sern Paul of Auto Bavaria Balakong were accorded top honors. The Gold category similarly recognized the executive leadership of Dealer Principals Wong Kim Kooi (Penang), Benjamin Ang Boon Chyuan (Tebrau), and Muhammad Shaza Abdul Karim (Johor Bahru).
Furthermore, personnel from the Ara Damansara, Balakong, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, and Tebrau operations were highly commended within the BMW Vision Club and Aftersales Vision Club categories, as well as the specialized MINI Issigonis Club and BMW Motorrad Dealer Awards. Notable distinctions in automotive financing were also achieved, with Joe Lee Se Juan securing the award for Highest Penetration for BMW Financial Services, Benjamin Ang Boon Chyuan winning for BMW Motorrad Financial Services, and multiple sales advisors cited for top performance in Easy Drive client contracts.
Wong Loke Win, Head of Operations at Auto Bavaria, emphasized the corporate gravity of the milestone, stating that to be recognized as the BMW Excellence Club Award Champion for 15 consecutive years represents both a profound honor and an institutional responsibility. He attributed this enduring success to the collective dedication of the workforce and the long-term patronage of their clientele. Looking toward future strategic developments, he affirmed Auto Bavaria’s focus on advancing premium mobility in Malaysia through the expansion of its Retail.NEXT infrastructure, enhanced digital integration, and the continued delivery of an exceptional vehicle ownership experience.

Slot Akasia TV3 bakal mempersembahkan sebuah lagi naskhah rantaian premium yang mengangkat konflik domestik dan ujian kesetiaan menerusi drama terbaharu berjudul Luka Di Hujung Setia. Drama 28 episod terbitan Country & Universal Sdn Bhd ini dijadualkan menemui penonton bermula 2 Jun 2026, setiap Isnin hingga Jumaat pada jam 7.00 malam. Menggandakan dua pelakon berkaliber, Dato’ Adi Putra dan Zara Zya sebagai peneraju utama, karya ini memperincikan naratif realistik tentang sejauh mana seorang wanita sanggup berkorban demi kelangsungan keluarga, sebelum pengorbanan tersebut memakan diri.
Naratif Luka Di Hujung Setia berpusat pada watak Dhia (Zara Zya), seorang isteri dan ibu yang mengambil keputusan drastik untuk berhijrah ke ibu kota. Langkah tersebut diambil bagi membantu suaminya, Irsyad (Dato’ Adi Putra) yang kehilangan pekerjaan tetap dan terpaksa menanggung bebanan hutang keluarga. Sanggup berjauhan daripada anak dan suami buat pertama kali, pengorbanan Dhia bagaimanapun mula diuji apabila landskap kehidupannya di bandar metropolitan berubah. Kehadiran pengurus projeknya, Faris (Irfan Zaini) yang menawarkan sokongan emosi ketika dia berdepan tekanan, tanpa sedar telah membuka ruang kepada keretakan rumah tangga, sekali gus mengubah takdir hidupnya.
Mengulas mengenai kompleksiti watak utama, Zara Zya menjelaskan bahawa peranan sebagai Dhia menuntut pemahaman psikologi yang mendalam terhadap impak tekanan hidup. Menurutnya, Dhia tidak direka sebagai karakter antagonis yang berniat jahat, sebaliknya dia adalah representasi seorang wanita yang melakukan kesilapan akibat kerapuhan emosi dan kesunyian yang ekstrem. Melalui watak ini, penonton akan dihidangkan dengan perspektif dilema seorang isteri yang niat murninya untuk berkorban akhirnya bertukar menjadi pencetus kepada kemusnahan sebuah institusi perkahwinan.
Di sebalik runtuhnya mahligai tersebut, plot drama ini turut berkembang kepada fasa pasca-perpisahan yang memperlihatkan ketabahan Irsyad membesarkan anak mereka, Aira, seorang diri di kampung. Sisi maskulinitas yang matang dan tenang digarapkan melalui lakonan Dato’ Adi Putra, yang menyifatkan Irsyad sebagai seorang lelaki yang memilih untuk memendam luka daripada bertindak melulu. Dinamika penceritaan menjadi lebih utuh dengan kehadiran watak sokongan seperti Zulin (Cahaya Nilam), yang membantu menguruskan kehidupan Irsyad, serta Angella Joliey, Puteri Khareeza, dan barisan pelakon berbakat yang lain.
Secara keseluruhannya, Luka Di Hujung Setia bukan sekadar sebuah naskhah hiburan, tetapi sebuah penceritaan yang sarat dengan mesej moral mengenai implikasi setiap keputusan dalam sesebuah perkahwinan. Selain siaran domestik di TV3, para penonton mempunyai alternatif untuk mengakses episod baharu 24 jam lebih awal melalui platform penstriman rasmi di www.tonton.com.my atau aplikasi Tonton. Maklumat lanjut serta perkembangan eksklusif mengenai naskhah ini boleh diikuti menerusi akaun media sosial rasmi @TV3Malaysia dan @dramasangat.

Bateriku, Malaysia’s leading automotive ecosystem provider, has announced a strategic collaboration with WAHDAH, a prominent mobility and travel technology company specialising in car rental and car-sharing solutions, to enhance mobility support for motorists facing unexpected vehicle breakdowns. Carried under the theme “Car Breakdown? Stay on the Move!”, the partnership is designed to minimise disruptions caused by vehicle downtime by ensuring customers maintain access to reliable transportation while their cars undergo maintenance or repairs.
Known for its extensive ecosystem of roadside assistance, battery replacement, workshop support and automotive care services operating through more than 260 Pitstop locations nationwide, Bateriku continues to strengthen its mission of keeping Malaysians moving. Recognising that vehicle breakdowns can significantly affect work schedules, travel plans and daily responsibilities, the company has joined forces with WAHDAH to offer customers immediate access to replacement mobility solutions whenever their vehicles are temporarily unavailable.
Through this collaboration, motorists no longer need to worry about losing access to transportation during repair periods, including situations where insurance coverage does not include replacement vehicle benefits. Bateriku customers can now be connected directly to WAHDAH’s trusted mobility network, allowing them to secure temporary transportation quickly and conveniently while their vehicles are being serviced.
WAHDAH brings to the partnership a fleet of professionally maintained, roadworthy vehicles that meet high standards of safety, comfort and convenience. Designed to serve customers who require uninterrupted mobility, the service offers a target response time of as fast as one hour, providing a practical solution for individuals who cannot afford prolonged disruptions to their daily routines.

A major highlight of the partnership is its seamless digital booking experience, aimed at simplifying the process of getting customers back on the road. At selected Bateriku Pitstop locations, customers can conveniently scan a QR code displayed at service counters or waiting areas to access WAHDAH’s digital mobility platform. From there, users can instantly browse available vehicles, complete bookings and arrange vehicle collection with minimal interruption to their schedules.
The service rollout will initially focus on key urban mobility zones across the Klang Valley, including Setapak, Batu Caves, Bangsar and Shah Alam, before expanding rapidly to other major regions such as Penang, Ipoh, Melaka, Johor Bahru and Kedah. With one of Malaysia’s largest mobility and car rental networks supported by nationwide operational hubs and digital platforms, WAHDAH enables flexible vehicle pickup and return services across major cities and travel destinations, further enhancing seamless intercity mobility experiences.
According to Bateriku, the partnership represents more than a conventional service enhancement. It reflects the company’s broader commitment to delivering a smarter, more comprehensive mobility ecosystem that prioritises customer convenience, accessibility and continuous connectivity. By integrating WAHDAH’s mobility expertise into its automotive support network, Bateriku aims to ensure customers remain mobile and productive, even when their vehicles are temporarily out of service.
The collaboration also underscores a shared vision between both companies to redefine the future of connected automotive and mobility experiences in Malaysia. Through innovation, operational efficiency and customer-centric solutions, Bateriku and WAHDAH are paving the way for a more integrated ecosystem where roadside assistance and mobility services work hand in hand to support modern motorists.

8 MAY 2026, SHAH ALAM – Bateriku (M) Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia’s leading on-demand connected roadside assistance provider, has officially entered into a strategic partnership with automotive windshield specialist CerminPro through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The collaboration marks a significant step towards enhancing Malaysia’s roadside assistance landscape by integrating specialised automotive services while simultaneously creating new socio-economic opportunities within the country’s growing gig economy ecosystem.
The partnership introduces a reciprocal service model that combines the strengths of both companies to deliver a more seamless and comprehensive experience for motorists. Under the agreement, CerminPro will offer Astra battery replacement services across its network of nearly 20 outlets nationwide, while Bateriku will integrate CerminPro’s windshield repair and replacement expertise into its extensive digital and physical ecosystem. This integration aims to provide customers with easier access to essential automotive care services through a single connected platform.
The collaboration also represents a notable industry cross-partnership, bridging the gap between specialised glass repair services and general roadside assistance. By leveraging Bateriku’s nationwide reach alongside CerminPro’s technical expertise, the initiative seeks to strengthen the safety net available to Malaysian motorists, beginning with an initial rollout across the Klang Valley. The partnership will serve as a platform to test and refine an operational model designed to meet evolving customer expectations in the automotive service industry.
Beyond service expansion, the collaboration is anchored on four strategic pillars aimed at strengthening the industry ecosystem. These include fostering cross-industry partnerships to break traditional silos within the automotive sector, providing upskilling opportunities for automotive gig workers, diversifying income streams for service technicians, and enhancing the value proposition of connected roadside assistance solutions. Through cross-training initiatives, Bateriku’s mobile technicians, known as BHeroes, together with CerminPro’s specialists, will gain broader technical capabilities that allow them to stay competitive in an increasingly dynamic automotive landscape.
The partnership also focuses heavily on supporting gig economy workers by creating new pathways for income diversification. By enabling technicians to handle multi-service referrals and fulfilment opportunities beyond their core specialisations, both companies aim to empower their workforce with more sustainable earning potential. This reflects a broader commitment not only to operational growth but also to developing a stronger and more resilient support ecosystem for gig professionals.
According to Bateriku Chief Executive Officer, Azarol Faizi, the collaboration extends beyond conventional business objectives and centres on building a sustainable ecosystem for gig partners. He noted that the partnership with CerminPro enables the company to create added value for customers while ensuring technicians are equipped with the skills and opportunities needed to expand their expertise and income potential.
Meanwhile, CerminPro Founder, Azril Ezry Azami, highlighted the company’s longstanding commitment to reliability and speed in automotive care. Through the integration of Astra battery solutions into CerminPro’s outlets and participation in Bateriku’s broader ecosystem, customers will gain more accessible and convenient access to essential vehicle maintenance services. Whether driving an everyday vehicle or a luxury performance car, motorists can now enjoy greater peace of mind through an expanded support network that combines battery assistance with trusted windshield solutions.
As Malaysia’s automotive landscape continues to evolve, the Bateriku–CerminPro partnership demonstrates how strategic collaborations can drive innovation, strengthen customer convenience and create meaningful economic opportunities within the connected mobility and gig economy sectors.

The partnership underscores a shared vision to drive innovation, sustainable mobility solutions and cross-industry collaboration, while further positioning Penang as a preferred destination for conferences, conventions, exhibitions and corporate events.
The collaboration is designed to create stronger opportunities for industry engagement, business networking and corporate brand visibility, reinforcing the role of strategic partnerships in supporting the continued growth of Penang’s business events industry. By bridging the business events and automotive sectors, the initiative aims to introduce new dimensions of value creation and innovation within the ecosystem, while elevating the overall experience for event organisers, delegates and corporate stakeholders.
A key highlight of the collaboration is its alignment with Penang’s sustainability agenda through the proposed integration of Euromobil’s electric vehicles (EVs) as the official mobility partner for conferences and business events across the state. The initiative is expected to promote greener event operations while encouraging wider adoption of environmentally responsible practices within the business events sector. By incorporating electric mobility into major events, Penang continues to demonstrate its commitment towards building a future-ready and environmentally conscious destination.
Chief Minister of Penang, YAB Chow Kon Yeow, welcomed the collaboration, describing it as a meaningful move that aligns with the state’s long-term vision for sustainable economic growth and innovation. According to him, the introduction of electric vehicles into the business events ecosystem not only supports greener transportation solutions but also enhances the overall visitor and delegate experience, strengthening Penang’s reputation as a leading destination for regional and international business events.
PCEB Chief Executive Officer, Ashwin Gunasekeran, highlighted the growing importance of strategic alliances in driving industry advancement. He noted that the collaboration reflects how partnerships between different sectors can unlock new opportunities for innovation, engagement and market visibility. Through this partnership, Penang is expected to further reinforce its standing within the regional and global business events landscape while creating additional value for stakeholders across multiple industries.
Beyond sustainability and mobility solutions, the partnership is also anticipated to enhance brand engagement and provide meaningful opportunities for participation in conferences, exhibitions, forums and various industry-driven programmes hosted in Penang. As the state continues to strengthen its position as one of Asia’s prominent business events destinations, collaborations such as this showcase how industry cooperation can contribute to long-term development, economic resilience and sustainable growth.
The PCEB–EON Berhad collaboration represents more than a strategic agreement; it signals a forward-looking approach to shaping the future of Penang’s business events industry through innovation, sustainability and purposeful partnerships.

May 25, 2026, Kuala Lumpur: Kuala Lumpur is reinforcing its reputation as one of Asia’s rising hotspots for international live music tours with the launch of KL Headline Season 2026, an ambitious initiative led by Live Nation Malaysia. Developed in collaboration with PR Worldwide, Tourism Malaysia and CelcomDigi, the campaign reflects a strategic effort to elevate the capital city’s status as a premier destination for world-class live entertainment. Throughout 2026, Kuala Lumpur is set to host 25 international music performances across six major venues, with an estimated 500,000 fans expected to attend from Malaysia and across the wider region.
The season will feature one of the city’s most extensive line-ups of international acts to date, bringing together arena, theatre and stadium-scale performances by globally renowned artists. Fans can look forward to shows by names such as LANY, Laufey, Bryan Adams, DAY6, TREASURE and Daniel Caesar, while large-scale concerts by Post Malone, The Weeknd and BTS are also expected to headline the calendar. The impressive roster highlights Kuala Lumpur’s growing capability to accommodate large-format touring productions and positions the city as a consistent stop on major Asian tour circuits.
Beyond entertainment, KL Headline Season 2026 is closely aligned with the national aspirations of Visit Malaysia 2026, which aims to attract 47 million international visitors while strengthening tourism revenue through premium, experience-driven travel. As global travel trends increasingly revolve around events and immersive experiences, live music is emerging as a powerful driver of tourism, encouraging fans to travel internationally, extend their stays and engage more deeply with destination cultures.
Through this initiative, concert experiences are designed to go beyond the performance venue. In collaboration with tourism, hospitality and lifestyle partners, visitors will be introduced to curated experiences that highlight Malaysia’s rich cultural identity, renowned culinary scene, iconic landmarks and dynamic urban lifestyle. Each event is envisioned not only as a concert but as a gateway for audiences to discover the wider appeal of Kuala Lumpur.
The economic impact of KL Headline Season is also expected to be significant. Beyond ticket revenue, the initiative is projected to create positive spillover effects across multiple industries including hospitality, aviation, retail, food and beverage, while opening new opportunities for local businesses and communities throughout the city. Kuala Lumpur’s strategic geographic location further strengthens its appeal as a touring destination, sitting within a four-hour flight radius of major Asian cities, making it both logistically efficient for artists and easily accessible for regional audiences.
Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh highlighted the importance of live entertainment in supporting Malaysia’s tourism ambitions, noting that major concerts and international events contribute meaningfully to the wider tourism ecosystem, from hospitality services to local enterprises. Meanwhile, Live Nation Malaysia Managing Director Paramananthan Rajagopal emphasised that live music creates powerful moments of connection between artists and fans, and that KL Headline Season aims to establish a sustainable rhythm of live events that audiences can consistently anticipate.
CelcomDigi also underscored the growing role of live music in Malaysian culture, describing it as an avenue for people to connect, celebrate passions and create lasting memories. Through its involvement in KL Headline Season 2026, the telecommunications company aims to leverage its broad customer base and network capabilities to make world-class live performances more accessible to audiences nationwide.
With an expanding concert calendar, strong industry collaboration and increasing international interest, KL Headline Season 2026 marks a significant milestone in Kuala Lumpur’s journey toward becoming one of Asia’s leading live entertainment and music tourism destinations.
