  • FAMILI DUO 3: SYAIFUL & SHARIF BERSIAP SEDIA UNTUK KE SEMI FINAL!

    Pengalaman 10 tahun dalam industri hiburan ini bukan jalan mudah bagi duo pasangan adik-beradik, Syaiful & Sharif Zero untuk berentap di pentas Famili Duo 3! Setiap kali sebelum mereka tampil ke pentas, Syaiful & Sharif akui gugup dan tidak sabar mahu melihat reaksi daripada juri dan penonton yang menilai hasil kerja mereka. Apatah lagi mereka yang dikenali sebagai pelawak telah diberi tanggungjawab untuk membawakan lagu bertemakan ‘legenda’ di episod yang lalu.

    Menurut Syaiful, untuk menjadi penghibur mereka perlu versatil. Itulah yang mereka akan buktikan kepada semua terutamanya peminat setia mereka. “Setiap pertandingan ada kalah dan menang. Kami anggap ini semua sebagai pesaing sihat dan positif untuk memajukan lagi industri seni hiburan. Kami akui memang berhadapan dengan situasi sukar apabila membawakan lagu Mentera Semerah Padi. Lagu ini adalah hasil karya daripada sifu Dato’ M. Nasir dan dinyanyikan sendiri oleh beliau. Lagu ini juga merupakan lagu balada tradisional yang memerlukan banyak tenaga dan stamina. Boleh atau tidak orang ramai terima kami yang sememangnya pelawak membawakan lagu serius? Tapi kami hanya fikir, untuk menjadi penghibur serba boleh, kami perlu lakukan dengan ikhlas. Jadi kami perlu seimbangkan kesemuanya dan yang penting dapat membuat orang ramai terhibur! Tugas kami adalah memberikan yang terbaik dan enjoy di atas pentas.”

    Kemenangan yang diperolehi minggu kelima ini juga merupakan kemenangan buat semua yang terlibat dalam membantu serta menyokong mereka terutamanya Rio (pengarah muzik), Cikgu Delly (guru vokal), Fad Bocey, artis jemputan iaitu pelawak tersohor Joey Daud, pesilat negara Al-Jufferi serta ahli keluarga.

    Untuk minggu seterusnya, mereka perlu lebih konsisten dan fokus dengan ketiga-tiga elemen konsep Famili Duo iaitu nyanyian (vokal), persembahan dan kreativiti. Shariff mengakui mereka perlu lebih berhati-hati dengan kebangkitan Ryan dan Adam Bakery. “Kesemua peserta hebat-hebat belaka. Kalau dari segi nyanyian, saingan kami tentulah Shila, Adira, Emma, Haqiem, Tom dan Fuad. Mereka memang penyanyi dan kalau masuk final pun memang mereka semua power! Jadi sekarang kami perlu lebih berhati-hati dengan Ryan dan Adam Bakery kalau kami ingin masuk ke final kerana tiap-tiap minggu mereka memang bagi all out dan minggu ini mereka dapat tempat kedua.”

    Sasaran duo adik-beradik ini ialah terus dinilai sebagai salah satu duo yang layak untuk bergelar finalis di pentas akhir Famili Duo 3 di samping memberikan persaingan hebat kepada duo yang lain. Berjayakah mereka menggapai impian ini? Semuanya bakal terjawab pada minggu yang akan datang!

  • Kempen ATLAS VENDING dan Kementerian Ekonomi Menyediakan Penyegar Dahaga RM1 untuk Rakyat

    ATLAS Vending Sdn Bhd, pengendali mesin layan diri dari Etika Sdn Bhd, salah satu pengeluar minuman jenama terkenal, telah mengumumkan pelancaran kerjasamanya dengan Kementerian Ekonomi dalam Kempen Penyegar Dahaga RM1.

    Sebagai pengendali mesin layan diri makanan dan minuman (F&B) terbesar, ATLAS Vending menetapkan misi untuk memperkasakan golongan berpendapatan rendah melalui penggunaan mesin layan diri yang tersedia di seluruh negara. Dengan melaraskan komitmen tanggungjawab sosial korporat (CSR) bersama dengan visi Kementerian untuk membantu lebih daripada 130,000 rakyat Malaysia miskin tegar, inisiatif antara kedua-dua pihak ini juga bertujuan untuk menangani inflasi dan pariti kuasa beli negara bagi menyokong ekonomi pekeliling.

    ATLAS Vending merupakan pengendali mesin layan diri F&B terbesar di Malaysia & Singapura dengan mempunyai kehadiran di setiap negeri. Impak yang dibawanya dapat dibuktikan melalui 3,210 mesin yang berada di bawah inisiatif IPR RM1 di seluruh negara dan menunjukkan komitmen mereka ke arah meluaskan perkhidmatan kepada orang ramai di seluruh negara.

    Pengumuman perkongsian ini dan pelancaran mesin layan diri telah diadakan di KL Sentral pada hari ini dengan kehadiran Menteri Ekonomi YB Rafizi Ramli. ATLAS Vending akan memperkenalkan mesin layan diri pertamanya di bawah inisiatif minuman IPR. Tersedia untuk pembelian pada harga RM1 ialah tiga minuman di bawah Etika Group; Pepsi Black, botol air mineral dan Revive Isotonic. Kesemuanya merupakan minuman sihat yang memenuhi garis panduan kerajaan dan membawa logo Healthier Choice.

    Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Etika, Santharuban Thurai Sundaram berkata “Kami percaya setiap langkah kecil boleh membawa perubahan yang besar. Dengan kerjasama ini, kami mengorak langkah untuk memperkasakan masyarakat kita dengan setiap teguk minuman. Hari ini menandakan satu peristiwa penting dalam perjalanan kami ke arah memberi impak positif kepada kehidupan rakyat Malaysia.”

    Beliau juga berkata “ATLAS Vending berbangga untuk memperkenalkan mesin jualan minuman RM1, dengan kerjasama bersama Kementerian Ekonomi Malaysia sebagai bukti komitmen kami terhadap Inisiatif Pendapatan Rakyat. Kami amat berharap untuk membawa perubahan kepada rakyat dan negara Malaysia. Kini, ia boleh dicapai melalui usaha kami menyediakan minuman dengan harga mampu milik kepada semua rakyat Malaysia.”

    Menteri Ekonomi, Yang Berhormat Tuan Rafizi Ramli berkata, “Matlamat kami adalah untuk menyediakan pilihan mampu milik kepada semua rakyat Malaysia dan memastikan semua orang dapat menikmati rehat seketika tanpa membebankan dompet mereka. Inisiatif ini bukan sekadar untuk menghilangkan dahaga; ia menyemai semangat perpaduan dan kemakmuran bersama. Sejak pelancaran inisiatif mesin layan diri di bawah IPR, ramai rakyat Malaysia daripada kumpulan berpendapatan rendah telah mendapat manfaat daripada pilihan makanan mampu milik yang disediakan oleh vendor yang mengendalikan mesin layan diri ini.

    Beliau juga berkata “Kami percaya bahawa inisiatif ini bukan hanya mengenai minuman RM1 sahaja; ia juga meliputi kerjasama bersama dengan rakan kongsi dan pihak berkepentingan untuk memberi fokus terhadap keterangkuman sosial dan kebajikan rakyat Malaysia, salah satu aspek di bawah Rancangan Malaysia Ke-12. Kami berbesar hati kerana mempunyai rakan kongsi seperti ATLAS Vending untuk menerajui inisiatif ini dan membolehkan pihak kementerian merealisasikan visi pengagihan manfaat yang saksama. Inisiatif ini merupakan salah satu langkah ke arah mencapainya.”

    Inisiatif Pendapatan Rakyat (IPR) telah dilancarkan pada Februari 2023 dan memberi tumpuan kepada strategi serampang dua mata untuk meningkatkan pendapatan keluarga miskin tegar dan B40 sambil menangani isu ekonomi harian secara serentak melalui inisiatifnya. IPR menumpukan usaha membasmi kemiskinan dan meningkatkan pendapatan rakyat melalui inisiatif dalam bidang pertanian, perniagaan makanan dan penyedia perkhidmatan.

    Di bawah IPR, pihak Kementerian memberi tumpuan kepada tiga modul utama untuk membasmi kemiskinan dalam kalangan golongan berpendapatan rendah. Ini terdiri daripada Inisiatif Usahawan Tani (INTAN), Inisiatif Usahawan Makanan (INSAN) dan Inisiatif Operator Perkhidmatan (IKHSAN).

    Dengan pengumuman perkongsian antara ATLAS dan Kementerian Ekonomi, minuman RM1 ini akan disediakan di seluruh negara di 3,210 mesin layan diri.

    Kepakaran ATLAS Vending melangkaui penyelesaian penjualan makanan dan minuman. Mereka juga memperkasakan jenama-jenama runcit melalui automasi mesin layan diri mereka seperti perkongsian mereka bersama Siti Khadijah yang menyenangkan pemerolehan keperluan ibadah bagi rakyat Malaysia.

Genting SkyWorlds is not just a place to have fun, but its also a place to learn and a perfect venue for team-building”.

    The participants will explore enchanting astronomy and space-related elements at the Al-Falak Complex in Melaka. “We are so excited to be able to offer our space as a venue for our future astronauts. The children will be spending the first two days of the program, including the opening ceremony at Al-Falak Complex.
