YBhg. Datuk Mohd Mustafa Abdul Aziz, Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), was present for the official launch of METAHOVER, a RM1 billion joint venture between local Precision Metal Parts Manufacture Metalmach Micro Technology (MMT) and Auxiliary Materials partner from China Future Hover Industrial Co., Ltd (Future Hover), with the goal of generating RM1 billion in export revenue over the course.
METAHOVER provides an all-inclusive service for water fabrication, assembly, and testing for semiconductors in Malaysia. Having Future Hover on board, the company is able to minimize the production cost for semiconductor assembly without any compromise on quality, thus, positioning Malaysia as a top destination for the exports of the said electronic component within Southeast Asia. This, paired with MMT’s 40 years of experience in the industry , will most definitely deem valuable to foreign investors and attract international suppliers to source affordable and reliable parts and accessories in Malaysia.
Machinery and Equipment (M&E) is an important industry to Malaysia. The sector is the 7th largest export in 2021. Machines and apparatus used principally for manufacturing semiconductors, parts and accessories is the largest export segment, valued at RM8.8 billion or 17.5 percent of total M&E exports in 2021, while in the first 7 months of 2022, Malaysia’s M&E export has reached RM34.4 billion, an increase of 25.5 percent from the corresponding period last year.
“Metalmach Micro Technology” with 4 decades of experience in precision machining, as well as mold and die fabrication, we believe that the company has the capabilities to produce high-quality machining parts and components used in various sectors such as semiconductor, medical device, automation, aerospace, E&E and general industries. This reputation certainly appeals to interest in partnership with foreign businesses.
Apart from this, METAHOVER will also set up an in-house research and development division in Malaysia to study the trends in semiconductor manufacturing to further enhance and innovate the production process. It is of great importance to METAHOVER to always be a step above so that Malaysia will be able to excel far beyond its already established global market presence in that respective industry for many years to come.
METAHOVER stands tall within the semiconductor supply chain because unlike the competitors – not only are we able to handle the end-to-end process of semiconductor assembly, but we are also able to do so with some of the most competitive pricing in the world, without compromising quality. In this day and age, convenience plays a vital role in obtaining a competitive advantage in the market, and it is our mandate to provide an all-round service to assist local and international suppliers in their endeavors through a one-stop solution that is – METAHOVER.

ADUAN JIWA, sebuah rancangan sembang di TV9, telah kembali untuk musim baharu. ADUAN JIWA akan kembali kepada umum pada musim kedua, kali ini bersama pengacara dan personaliti terkenal Ahmad Fedtri Yahya, untuk berkongsi kisah benar situasi trauma tertentu dengan lebih mendalam. Cerita daripada pelbagai latar belakang ini akan mula disiarkan di TV9 pada Ahad, 18 September 2022, jam 10.30 malam, dan akan disiarkan secara langsung dalam HD di www.tonton.com.my.
Menurut Ahmad Fedtri Yahya yang juga merupakan tulang belakang program ADUAN JIWA, “Selepas perkenalan musim pertama, ramai yang ingin meluahkan kisah-kisah trauma tapi takut. Mungkin kerana ia adalah sesuatu topik yang taboo. Namun, banyak juga yang hubungi saya di Twitter dan Instagram. Hari-hari saya menerima mesej yang menjadi tular dan diperkatakan. Pelbagai isu yang saya perolehi daripada mereka seperti hal rumah tangga, ibu bapa, keluarga, persahabatan dan masalah seksual.”
Lebih istimewa, ADUAN JIWA musim kedua membawakan Ahmad Fedtri Yahya terus ke lokasi pengadu bagi mendengar kata-kata luahan orang ramai. Tambah Ahmad Fedtri lagi, “Bukan mudah untuk mendapatkan responden yang ingin berkongsikan masalah atau isu ketika di suasana terpencil seperti di dalam studio. Mungkin mereka menjadi segan apabila berhadapan dengan kamera, jadi musim kali ini akan menjadi lebih selesa untuk pengadu yang ingin berkongsi kisah mereka.”
Namun Fedtri mengakui ia bukan sesuatu yang mudah baginya untuk mendapatkan responden. Katanya, “Ada yang menarik diri selepas penggambaran kerana atas faktor keselamatan. Ada juga yang membatalkan hasrat sebaik tiba di lokasi penggambaran. Apa yang kami boleh buat adalah memberikan masa dan ruang serta menggunakan medium alternatif seperti panggilan video bagi memastikan kisah mereka dapat disampaikan.”
Episod pertama yang akan bersiaran pada 18 September ini bertajuk “Setelah Ayah Pergi” dan memaparkan topik luahan Da’i Amirah yang mengambil tugas berat selepas kehilangan bapanya. Da’i Amirah meneruskan amanah dan legasi penjagaan rumah orang tua yang ditinggalkan oleh ayahnya. Dalam menguruskan amanah yang diberi dan melayan kerenah penghuni, Amirah turut rindu akan kasih sayang seorang bapa.
Manakala, episod kedua yang bertajuk “HIV Di Usia Senja” menceritakan kisah-kisah lelaki warga emas di Rumah Perlindungan HIV Muslim. Oleh kerana penyakit mereka sudah di tahap kritikal, kini mereka ditempatkan di pusat perlindungan dan menghitung hari untuk sesuatu yang samar akibat kesilapan silam.
Berharap agar program ini akan berterusan kerana ia dapat membantu orang ramai. Mungkin ada antara mereka menonton secara santai tetapi masih boleh mendapat info yang banyak daripada panel jemputan seperti pakar psikiatri, ustaz, ustazah dah ahli motivasi. Sebelum ini, Aduan Jiwa memaparkan kisah namun tiada kata putus. Pada musim baharu ini, kami akan memberi cadangan bagi membantu individu yang berada dalam situasi yang sama. Semoga penonton mendapat manfaat dari program dan mereka mendapat sesuatu untuk memulihkan trauma atau masalah yang mereka hadapi.
Nantikan topik-topik menarik penuh informasi yang akan dibawa selama 10 episod di ADUAN JIWA musim kedua mulai 18 September, setiap hari Ahad, pukul 10.30 malam di TV9 dan strim secara langsung di www.tonton.com.my.
LEGEND, the highly anticipated eighth studio album by multi-platinum, 12-time Grammy Award winner John Legend, was released by Republic Records. The bright double album, executive produced by Legend and famous producer-writer Ryan Tedder (Beyoncé, Adele, and others), is infused with an unapologetic sense of sexuality and joy, informed by the complete vulnerability of grief, praise, and healing. LEGEND can be viewed/downloaded HERE.
ACT I of the epic double album recalls vividly the worldly, sensual pleasures of Saturday night – full of lust, self, sex and adventure. It opens with “Rounds”, an immersive joint featuring Rick Ross, an artist with whom Legend has collaborated perhaps more than any other. Other tracks include the smoldering R&B bedroom romp “Splash” featuring Jhene Aiko and rapper Ty Dolla $ign, “Dope,” a “summery, feel-good track” featuring rapper JID (Rolling Stone) and “Love,” featuring Jazmine Sullivan, whom Legend has known since she was a young artist. ACT I climaxes in the immediately addictive and utterly uplifting “All She Wanna Do” featuring Saweetie, which Uproxx called a “sexy, dancefloor banger” and Rolling Stone described as a “roller disco jam.”
ACT II evokes the feeling of a Sunday morning, with its focus on healing, intimacy, soulfulness and commitment. It includes “Honey,” “a sultry, jazz-inspired” R&B track featuring Muni Long (Billboard) and “Wonder Woman,” a touching tribute to the power and grace of all the women in Legend’s life featuring the nostalgic, soulful Dap Kings. Other tracks on ACT II include “Good,” featuring Ledisi, a tale of intimate healing and the relief that comes with knowing you’re in a relationship with the right person and “Pieces,” a devastatingly beautiful ballad about living with loss and grief.
LEGEND has the feeling of a classic, and yet feels new, representing a fresh start for the artist with record label Republic, and a playful, adventurous feel. At the same time, it asserts its place in the canon of Black art, where honoring one’s ancestral story is as much part of existence as is that love, beauty and joy.
Legend is set to perform “Pieces” from the new album at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 12th. Next month, the EGOT winner will return to Las Vegas for his critically acclaimed “Love in Las Vegas” residency, with shows running from October 14th through October 29th. Billboard previouslyraved about the show, saying “…Legend held the full house in his hands as they danced, screamed and aah-ed their way through a generous set encompassing the multiple Grammy winner’s eight-album catalog of hits and fan faves.” Tickets are available HERE.
