  • MISS COSMOWORLD MALAYSIA 2023 GRAND FINAL: TAY CHEAH TAKES THE CROWN, HEADED TO INTERNATIONAL FINALS WITH RM500,000 CASH PRIZE, AND RM1,000,000 IN PRIZES AT STAKE

    Elegance and beauty converged at the JW Marriott for the Miss CosmoWorld Malaysia 2023 grand final last weekend. The spotlight was captured by 25-year-old Tay Cheah (谢莹莹), an aspiring actress and model, as she clinched the coveted title of Miss CosmoWorld 2023. The first runner-up title was gracefully awarded to 24-year-old dancer Crystal Low (刘瀞蔚), while the third spot was secured by 27-year-old Kuala Lumpur native and IT consultant, Chin Wei Jean (陈薇菁). These winners not only received their crowns but also took home cash prizes and sponsored rewards worth almost RM350,000, accompanied by the customary sashes and gleaming trophies.

    Describing her win as a surprise, Cheah said, “I really did not expect to win tonight. I am grateful to the judges for valuing my hard work throughout the night, and I will work even harder for the grand final. My victory is a testament to every girl with ambitions in this country, that is to be confident, to love and trust themselves because they can certainly be anyone they wish to be.” Cheah’s crowning as Miss CosmoWorld Malaysia 2023 also came with a RM42,000 total cash prize along with other sponsored vouchers and items worth more than RM150,000. The Selangor-born model, who triumphed over 14 other contestants, will begin her beauty pageant camp at the Hyatt Place Kuala Lumpur and represent Malaysia to compete at the Miss CosmoWorld International 2023 world final, which will be held at the St. Regis Hotel on November 29, with prizes worth more than RM1,000,000 up for grabs.

    The first runner-up, Low, was also awarded the subsidiary titles of Miss Talent presented by Prop Buddies and Miss Charming presented by MeLife. A performing arts graduate from Sunway University, she also expressed her surprise although she believes that Cheah deserved her win, “I am surprised at winning the first runner-up and I am very grateful for this win. I couldn’t be happier for  Tay (Cheah) as she deserves the title, especially with her strong leadership and motivational support for all the girls during pageant week, and I’m excited to see her represent the women of Malaysia at the international grand final.”

    Meanwhile, Chin, who has never joined any beauty pageant before, was chuffed at her winning the second runner-up of Miss CosmoWorld Malaysia 2023. “I feel overwhelmed with gratitude. This is the first time in my life joining a beauty pageant. Winning second runner-up and two subsidiary titles, I am happy with my achievement,” said Chin. Highlighting Latin dance performance as something that she would cherish from her experience in the pageant, she was also awarded the subsidiary titles of  Miss Popularity presented by Xpaze and Miss Elegant presented by Voyager.

    Organized by CL Skin Sdn. Bhd., Miss CosmoWorld founder, Carrie Lee, emphasizes that the beauty pageant is aimed at grooming passionate local youth, enhancing their talents and skills to young women across Malaysia. “Having won a beauty pageant myself, I feel the need to give back to the community especially to women in the country and empower them so that their potentials are not restricted by the gender stereotypes that we often experience not only in this country but around the world, and this year is no different,” said Lee, who had achieved pageantry success in the past when she was crowned as Miss Chinese Cosmos 2004.

    15 contestants were made to go through various rounds during the final night including swimsuits, corsets, evening gowns as well as a Q&A session. The following are the winners of Miss CosmoWorld Malaysia 2023:

  • Wings Tawar Harga ‘Rahmah’, Hargai Sokongan Peminat

    Melihat Kejayaan Konsert Wings The Rock Emperor Live in Singapore Julai lalu, peminat-peminat Wings di Malaysia turut menginginkan agar Konsert Wings The Rock Emperor ini diadakan di Malaysia. Tidak Mahu mengecewakan peminat di Malaysia, Konsert Wings The Rock Emperor kini akan berlangsung di Stadium Malawati, Shah Alam pada 16 Disember 2023!

    Justeru itu tidak hairanlah mengapa Wings terus ‘meragut magis’ ratusan malah ribuan peminat yang sentiasa dahagakan aksi bertenaga Wings di atas pentas. ‘Konsert Wings The Rock Emperor Kuala Lumpur’ menjadi wadah signifikasi yang seterusnya dengan tema yang dibawa!

    ‘Kuasa dan kemenangan’ itu telahpun  dicipta di pentas The Star Theatre , Singapura pada 29 Julai lalu,  tidak adil rasanya ‘kuasa’ itu tidak digagaskan di Malaysia apatah lagi ianya tempat di mana Wings ditubuhkan sejak 38 tahun yang lalu.

    ‘Konsert Wings The Rock Emperor Kuala Lumpur Chapter’ dianjurkan oleh Rumah Produksi Merah manakala Awie Entertainment bertindak sebagai Rakan Strategik bakal ‘meluaskan’ kuasa jajahan takluknya di Stadium Malawati Shah Alam pada 16 Disember ini. Pastinya dimensi berbeza dari pada konsert-konsert sebelum ini bakal diterjemahkan menerusi nada, melodi, aksi dan energi Wings itu sendiri.

    Berpaksikan peminat adalah segala-galanya, maka ‘Konsert Wings The Rock Emperor Kuala Lumpur Chapter’ menawarkan harga ‘mampu’ buat mereka yang selama ini mengangkat Wings sebagai sebuah ‘jenama’.  Lebih menarik ini adalah antara konsert Wings yang memberikan harga tiket yang rendah berbanding siri konsert sebelumnya.

    Bukan hanya penawaran tiket harga ‘rahmah’ tetapi turut memberi peluang kepada ibu bapa membawa anak-anak mereka yang berusia 7 tahun keatas (dengan tiket), diskaun 10% bagi pemegang kad OKU dan pemegang kad pelajar untuk bersama-sama menikmati wirama ‘Belenggu Irama’ hingga ‘Menakluk Kosmos’ yang menjadi terapi jiwa khalayak sejak dahulu hingga kini. (Rujuk nota dibawah untuk keterangan lanjut)

    Mungkin dianggap ‘berat’, tetapi percaya pada maksud fatamorgana yang diimplimentasikan dengan unsur teaterikal dan elemen pementasan, permainan cahaya, paparan video, kostum menarik dan perjalanan sesebuah kisah yang disenyawakan dengan lagu yang bakal disajikan.

    Inilah keistimewaan ‘Wings The Rock Emperor Kuala Lumpur Chapter’ dimana mereka tidak mahu menghidangkan konsep yang sama yang kerap diulang-ulang dalam sesebuah konsert yang mereka anjurkan, apatahlagi dilihat ‘vakum’ dengan resepi lama.

    Konsert ini disokong oleh Sinar FM(Radio Rasmi), ERA FM dan Gegar FM (Support Radio Official), Astro Gempak sebagai rakan rasmi digital media serta dengan kerjasama True Pixel dan Sayap-Sayap Wings.

    Peminat yang ingin berkongsi frasa dasawarsa ‘Wings The Rock Emperor Kuala Lumpur Chapter’ boleh mendapatkan tiket konsert yang berharga RM95 – CAT 5 Free seating, RM135 – CAT 4 Free seating, RM175 – CAT 3 Free seating, RM155 – CAT 2 Free seating, RM205 – CAT 1 Free seating

  • Gabungan dua vokalis mantap Achik Asrain & Nadia Rosli dalam Sabarlah Hati

    Industri hiburan di Malaysia ini sentiasa menghargai kedatangan vokalis baharu dan menunjukkan kebolehan mereka. Dengan wujudnya program realiti di kaca televisyen ini bakal merancakkan lagi industri muzik tempatan.

    Kehadiran bintang baharu ini melengkapkan lagi selera dan cita rasa peminat yang inginkan sesuatu yang segar untuk hiburan halwa telinga. Biarpun ada antaranya muncul dengan lagu bunyi 90-an, kelainan dari segi muzik itu masih menjadi keutamaan.

    Terbaharu, syarikat rakaman Universal Music mempertaruhkan dua bakat baharu yang memiliki paduan vokal mantap, Achik Asrain dan Nadia Rosli menerusi lagu duet berjudul Sabarlah Hati hasil ciptaan komposer terkenal, Eddie Hamid.

    Menurut Achik Asrain yang juga bekas peserta program Lagu Cinta Kita musim ketiga, ini adalah lagu duet pertama mereka selain menyifatkan ia kerjasama yang baik.

    Lagu ini menceritakan pasangan kekasih yang tidak setia kepada pasangan sehingga membawa keretakan perhubungan yang tidak ikhlas sehingga membawa perpisahan diantara mereka. Hubungan baru yang didasari oleh kejujuran, pengertian, dan saling menghargai sebenarnya ada di depan mata mereka, hanya saja tersembunyi oleh kerumitan dan kebingungannya sendiri. Achik juga menghuraikan bahawa, lagu ini mengisahkan mengenai percintaan yang musnah akibat daripada pasangan yang tak menghargai, hanya bermanis-manis pada awal perhubungan dan ia sekadar hubungan yang penuh sandirawa dari kata-kata dusta.

    Achik meluahkan perasaan lega semasa proses rakaman lagu sangat berjalan lancar kerana dibantu oleh Eddie Hamid, seorang komposer yang cukup berpengalaman serta jurutera bunyi yang berpengalaman, Encik Amir. Proses menyiapkan lagu sangat baik dan tidak mengambil masa yang lama. Achik dan Nadia dibantu oleh individu yang memang berpengalaman dalam bidang mereka.

    Kru dan semua yang terbabit dalam penggambaran MV Sabarlah Hati ini bantu kami untuk lebih menjiwai karakter bagi menjayakan MV ini. Nadia berkata cabaran dilalui ketika proses menyiapkan lagu dan MV Sabarlah Hati adalah pengalaman berharga buat mereka. Nadia berkata, banyak perkara yang menghiburkan sewaktu bersama kru produksi sepanjang pembikinan MV ini. Dia berterima kasih pada semua yang terbabit kerana banyak membantunya. Ini merupakan satu memori yang dia takkan lupakan.

    Nadia berharap semoga lagu Sabarlah Hati dapat diterima ramai dan sekaligus melonjakkan nama mereka berdua dalam industri muzik. Semoga lagu ini dimainkan di corong radio serta di mana-mana platform digital.

    Lagu Sabarlah Hati sudah dilancarkan secara rasmi di semua platform muzik digital pada 13 Oktober lalu. Muzik video juga boleh ditonton di saluran YouTube Universal Music Malaysia.

  • myTukar marks 6 years of cars that are As Good As New; brings ‘drama’ to consumers with hilarious new ads

    A good drama appeals to everybody. just in the event that they are seeing it. MyTukar is making sure that theatrics only occur on screen and never in real life because of this. The three digital shorts that the series features draw on common drama tropes and have surprising endings.

    Look forward to a makjang Korean family drama about a son’s true love and his unaccepting mother; then switch it up with a classic Thai horror tale that will have you screaming in fear once you find out what’s really, truly hiding in plain sight in the garage; and lastly, finish it off with a Hong Kong love triangle that has you wondering if the female lead will end up choosing what’s really best for her.

    Carro Regional Head of Marketing Katherine Teo says, “By tapping into our audience’s love for drama, we disguised our ads as genre films to let them know that any drama you get from our brand is strictly advertorial. For quality used cars that are fuss-free (and drama-free!) and As Good As New, myTukar is the number one choice.”

    The 3 digital shorts are the result of a multinational effort.  They were fully shot on location in Malaysia, with teams from Singapore and Malaysia working on it, as well as a native cast and crew who flew in from Thailand and South Korea.

    Since its founding in 2017, myTukar has grown from a shop lot at Glenmarie and has expanded to over 2,600 registered dealerships, 10 retail centres, 23 inspection centres, 5 workshops and 2 refurbishment centres. myTukar also achieved an impressive year-on-year revenue growth of 85% in 2022, coupled with an astounding 215% growth in their retail sector.

    myTukar CEO Derrick Eng says, “It’s been an absolute honour to grow together with the company and to build a marketplace powerhouse that isn’t just about buying and selling cars – but one that includes key offerings within the car ownership lifecycle, such as aftersales, insurance, financing, and extended warranties. We’ll continue to place our customer’s interests first above all and I’m excited to scale up our capabilities.”

    Meanwhile, parent company Carro is also marking its 8th year anniversary this October. Founded in 2015, Carro has grown from a Singaporean used car marketplace to Southeast Asia’s largest and most profitable online used car marketplace, with multiple business ancillaries in the automotive sector such as financing, insurance and aftersales. With a record positive EBITDA of USD4 million in FY2023 and 4,500 employees across Asia-Pacific, Carro has set its sights on bigger things for the years to come, including Carro Care, a brand new aftersales business powered by Jardine Cycle and Carriage.

    Reflecting on 8 years of progress, Group Co-Founder and CEO Aaron Tan says, “I take great pride in what Carro has achieved in the last 8 years and I am thankful for our dedicated employees, loyal customers, as well as our investors and collaborative partners who have taken us to these milestones. I am looking forward to many more good years as we contribute to even more sustainable, safe and accessible mobility solutions for all.”

    Join the celebrations with offers for myTukar Certified car buyers

    To mark their anniversary, Carro and myTukar are throwing big promotions for customers around the region, specifically in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

    In Malaysia, myTukar is giving away 6 of the latest iPhone 15 (128 GB) models worth RM4,399 to 6 customers. All they have to do is buy a myTukar Certified car to be eligible for the draw. The offer is valid for a limited time till 30 November, Terms and Conditions apply.

    Siri Jelajah Anti-Scam Kebangsaan 2023  meneruskan misinya untuk meningkatkan kesedaran awam rakyat negeri Sabah mengenai penipuan (scam) dan ancaman siber. Program ini yang dianjurkan bersama oleh CyberSecurity Malaysia dan CelcomDigi dengan kerjasama Gabungan Bertindak Anti-Scam (GBAS) serta sokongan Kementerian Komunikasi dan Digital (KKD) diadakan pada 28 dan 29 Oktober 2023 di Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS).

    Program kesedaran awam ini bertujuan untuk memberi pengetahuan kepada masyarakat mengenai jenis-jenis jenayah scam, modus operandi terkini, serta tips amalan terbaik untuk mengelakkan diri daripada mudah terpedaya dan menjadi mangsa.

    Pengerusi Lembaga Pengarah, CyberSecurity Malaysia, Jeneral Tan Sri Dato’ Sri (Dr.) Haji Zulkifeli Mohd Zin (Bersara) menekankan bahawa “Jenayah scam di Malaysia masih berleluasa walaupun usaha dijalankan oleh pelbagai pihak untuk membanteras jenayah ini. Scammer masih aktif dengan menggunakan pelbagai bentuk modus operandi dan taktik untuk menipu serta memperdaya orang ramai. Mereka mengambil kesempatan daripada kedaifan, ketakutan, atau ketidaktahuan mangsa untuk mencuri wang. Oleh itu, bagi mengatasi isu ini, sangat penting untuk kita tingkatkan program kesedaran awam mengenai jenayah scam. Individu perlu sentiasa berwaspada dan tidak memberi maklumat peribadi atau wang kepada pihak yang mencurigakan.”

    Sepanjang tahun 2022, Pusat Tindakbalas Insiden Siber Cyber999 kendalian CyberSecurity Malaysia mencatatkan sebanyak 7,292 insiden keselamatan siber. Daripada jumlah ini, insiden penipuan dalam talian merupakan insiden yang paling banyak dilaporkan, iaitu 4,741 kes atau 65 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan laporan.

    Manakala, dari bulan Januari sehingga September 2023, Cyber999 menerima sebanyak 4,381 insiden keselamatan siber dengan insiden penipuan dalam talian masih berada pada kedudukan teratas dengan jumlah laporan sebanyak 2,788.

    Menurut Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif CelcomDigi, Datuk Idham Nawawi, “Sebagai penyedia perkhidmatan digital, kami mempunyai tanggungjawab kami dalam mewujudkan pengalaman internet yang lebih selamat untuk semua warga digital. Kami menekankan prinsip A.C.T (BERTINDAK) iaitu memupuk Kesedaran (Awareness), meningkatkan tahap Pematuhan (Compliance) dalam organisasi dan bekerjasama dengan agensi penguatkuasaan, serta mengoptimumkan penggunaaan Teknologi (Technology) dalam memerangi ancaman scam. CelcomDigi memahami kepentingan menyediakan kesalinghubungan internet yang kondusif dan selamat untuk semua pengguna selain bertanggungjawab menyemai kemahiran penggunaan internet yang selamat di kalangan rakyat Malaysia. Kami percaya bahawa inisiatif secara kolektif ini dapat memberikan impak yang besar dalam memerangi scam secara berkesan.”
