    TV AlHijrah Sokong Usahawan Muslim Tempatan Menerusi Bincang Niaga Meriah Raya

    TV AlHijrah kembali dengan edisi istimewa Bincang Niaga Meriah Raya, sebuah program pengiklanan mampu milik yang memberikan ruang kepada usahawan Muslim tempatan untuk menonjolkan produk dan jenama mereka. Disiarkan secara langsung dari Studio TV AlHijrah bermula 16 April hingga 16 Mei 2025, program ini menyasarkan pelbagai sektor industri. Inisiatif ini menjadi platform penting bagi usahawan memperluas capaian pasaran sempena musim perayaan.

    Program ini menampilkan pelbagai produk dari industri seperti fesyen Muslimah, makanan halal, produk kesihatan dan kecantikan, pelancongan, serta perkhidmatan umrah dan haji. Fokus terhadap industri umrah tahun ini turut memperlihatkan keprihatinan TV AlHijrah terhadap keperluan spiritual masyarakat. Pendedahan ini diharapkan membantu usahawan menawarkan solusi berkualiti kepada pelanggan yang semakin bijak memilih.

    Menurut Ketua Kumpulan Integrasi Media dan Hal Ehwal Korporat, Saifulizan Sidek, usaha ini merupakan langkah TV AlHijrah dalam memperkasakan ekonomi ummah melalui pendekatan media yang beretika. Program ini bukan sahaja untuk promosi produk, tetapi juga menyemarakkan semangat keusahawanan di kalangan masyarakat. Elemen nilai Islam dan tanggungjawab sosial menjadi teras utama kepada pendekatan yang diketengahkan.

    Dengan penglibatan tokoh industri dan pakar profesional, kandungan program ini turut memuatkan perbincangan isu ekonomi semasa dan kisah kejayaan usahawan. Ia menjadikan Bincang Niaga Meriah Raya sebagai program informatif dan menginspirasikan. Penonton bukan sekadar disajikan promosi, malah dapat memahami cabaran serta strategi kejayaan perniagaan.

    TV AlHijrah menekankan dua pendekatan strategik — pakej pengiklanan berpatutan dan kempen berasaskan acara khas di televisyen. Ini membuka peluang kepada usahawan mikro dan kecil yang sering terpinggir dalam ruang promosi konvensional. Kemunculan mereka di kaca TV berupaya meningkatkan keyakinan pengguna terhadap jenama tempatan.

    “Televisyen bukan sekadar hiburan, tetapi juga pemacu perubahan masyarakat,” kata Saifulizan. Beliau turut menyeru agar lebih ramai pihak menyokong produk buatan tempatan sebagai satu bentuk solidariti dan usaha membina ekonomi berdaya saing. Program seperti ini dapat menyatukan pemain industri dengan penonton yang mencari produk bermakna dan beretika.

    Dilla Puzi, pengasas produk herba Nurrifa, turut berkongsi pengalaman positif melalui platform ini. “Saya berjaya meraih kepercayaan pengguna selepas muncul dalam program ini,” katanya. Beliau menghargai peranan Bincang Niaga sebagai platform memperluas pasaran secara berkesan.

    Bincang Niaga Meriah Raya bukan sekadar program bermusim, malah sebahagian daripada pelan strategik TV AlHijrah dalam membina ekosistem keusahawanan Muslim yang mampan. Dengan pendekatan bersepadu antara penyiaran, pendidikan dan teknologi, TV AlHijrah terus memacu transformasi ekonomi ummah yang lebih progresif.

  • Sunway Medical Centre Velocity Launches Malaysia’s First Immersive Visual Experience & CSR ECG Screening Event for Heart Health

    Sunway Medical Centre Velocity Launches Malaysia’s First Immersive Visual Experience & CSR ECG Screening Event for Heart Health

    With nearly 30,000 deaths recorded in 2023 due to ischaemic heart disease, heart disease continues to rank as one of Malaysia’s leading causes of mortality. Even more concerning is that Malaysians are experiencing heart attacks as early as age 58 almost eight years younger than the global average.

    In response to this rising health crisis, Sunway Medical Centre Velocity (SMCV) is taking an active step forward with its upcoming CSR event, Pulse of Life: The Ultimate Heart Health Experience. Held from 25 to 27 April 2025 at the Main Atrium, G Floor, Sunway Velocity Mall, Kuala Lumpur, this three-day event is designed to educate the public, promote preventive care, and empower individuals to take charge of their heart health. Visitors of all ages will have access to engaging activities, expert consultations, and complimentary health screenings.

    One of the event’s most exciting features is the Immersive Visual Journey Malaysia’s first interactive light installation that transforms a person’s real-time heartbeat into a captivating visual display. Participants can also benefit from a large-scale ECG screening, offered free of charge, to help detect potential heart abnormalities. These screenings will be supported by on-site Consultant Cardiologists and Internal Medicine Physicians from SMCV, ready to provide expert medical feedback and advice based on the results.

    According to Dr Tee Chee Hian, SMCV Consultant Cardiologist, the risk of heart disease is no longer limited to older individuals. “More young Malaysians are now being diagnosed with cardiovascular conditions. Early detection, education, and even minor changes in lifestyle can go a long way in preventing serious complications,” he noted.

    Adding to that, Susan Cheow, CEO of SMCV, emphasized the dual importance of prevention and education. She shared that the Pulse of Life event is a public initiative aimed at presenting heart health in a way that is accessible, engaging, and easy to understand. Through interactive features and innovative screenings, the goal is to spark awareness and action toward better cardiovascular wellness.

    Beyond medical checkups, the event will feature a wide array of partner booths and wellness activities led by some of Malaysia’s top health and fitness brands, including Sunway Multicare Pharmacy and ChiX Fitness, . Attendees can explore the Heart Health Educational Gallery and the Giant Heart Exhibit by Viatris, which offer interactive learning about heart anatomy, risk factors, and the impact of lifestyle choices on cardiovascular health.

    Fitness enthusiasts can look forward to free workout sessions and fitness challenges, curated by ChiX Fitness, highlighting how regular exercise contributes to heart health. These guided sessions are designed to make fitness fun while educating participants on its long-term benefits for the heart.

    SMCV will also be offering a range of free wellness services, including medication and vaccination counseling by pharmacists, as well as basic health screenings like blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol checks all conducted by trained nursing staff.

    Open to the public, the Pulse of Life event invites everyone to take part in a weekend of health education, medical screenings, and interactive wellness experiences. It’s a chance to gain valuable knowledge, take proactive steps toward heart care, and engage in a movement that could save lives.

    The Pulse of Life: The Ultimate Heart Health Experience will take place from 25 to 27 April 2025, spanning from Friday to Sunday, with the event running from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM at the Main Atrium on the Ground Floor of Sunway Velocity Mall, Kuala Lumpur.

  • Penang to Host Asia’s Premier Industrial Mega Event in July 2025

    Penang to Host Asia’s Premier Industrial Mega Event in July 2025

    A major milestone in Asia’s industrial calendar is on the horizon as Penang prepares to host the most comprehensive manufacturing event of the year. From 23 to 25 July 2025, the Setia SPICE Convention Centre will house the 5th Electronics Manufacturing Expo Asia (EMAX), 4th Penang Manufacturing Expo (PMAX), and two new co-located shows: Semiconductor Expo Asia (SMAX) and Asia Sustainable Factories Expo (ASFAX). Organized by NRG Exhibitions (M) Sdn Bhd, this quartet of expos brings together the best in electronics, general manufacturing, semiconductors, and sustainable industry. The event is set to draw participants from across the globe.

    The announcement was made at a press conference attended by Deputy Chief Minister II YB Jagdeep Singh Deo and NRG Exhibitions CEO Mr. Kenny Yong. Both leaders emphasized the importance of the event in driving Penang’s future economic vision. The expos are not just industry showcases—they are strategic platforms for global collaboration and innovation. This aligns with Penang’s transformation into a regional tech and sustainability leader.

    Each expo within the event serves a specific yet complementary purpose. EMAX continues its legacy as a premier platform for electronics manufacturing. PMAX offers broad insights into industrial solutions and factory innovations. The newcomers, SMAX and ASFAX, bring high relevance: one focuses on the booming semiconductor sector and the other on green factory solutions and ESG.

    The goal of SMAX is to cover the full semiconductor pipeline—from design to materials. With chip shortages and geopolitical shifts highlighting the need for regional capacity, SMAX’s presence is timely. ASFAX, on the other hand, will address climate-focused manufacturing strategies. Attendees can expect to see renewable energy technologies, energy management systems, and sustainable infrastructure solutions.

    In total, the event is expected to attract over 8,000 trade professionals and more than 200 brands. Exhibitors will hail from at least 40 countries, creating a truly international environment. Live demos, AI-driven tech applications, and next-gen manufacturing tools will be on full display. The event promises not just education, but real-world solutions for industry challenges.

    Networking is a key part of the experience. Visitors will benefit from industry matchmaking, business meet-ups, and investor introductions. Keynote sessions and expert panels will offer deep dives into industrial strategy, tech trends, and sustainability practices. This makes the event as intellectually rich as it is visually impressive.

    Mr. Kenny Yong described the expansion of the EMAX series as a reflection of where the industry is headed. “We’re not just growing in size, we’re growing in relevance,” he said. He emphasized the importance of balancing innovation with responsibility. This sentiment is echoed in the structure of the 2025 expo—tech and sustainability standing side-by-side.

    With the full support of Penang’s government and strong international interest, this four-in-one event is expected to become a cornerstone of industrial development in the region. Whether you’re in semiconductors, green manufacturing, or electronics, the 2025 expo is where tomorrow’s industry will take shape. It is a call to action for professionals ready to embrace the future. And that future is coming to Penang.
