  • Faizal Tahir’s Time Tunnel, Music & Life Is Presented On September 2

     

    Faizal Tahir, who entered the local music industry with more than simply the desire to become well-known as a vocalist, has accomplished a number of things. Along with being a fantastic vocalist, he is also a terrific songwriter, lyricist, and supporter of other musicians.

    It comes as no surprise that the grand concert, “Aku Faizal Tahir Live in Kuala Lumpur”, presented by Allianz Malaysia Berhad, will take place on September 2nd, 2023, at Dewan Merdeka, World Trade Centre, at 8:30 PM.

    “We at JioBuddy are delighted to be entrusted with organizing ‘Aku Faizal Tahir Live in Kuala Lumpur’ on September 2nd. This concert is important because it is not just about music but also about the journey of a person named Faizal Tahir.

    After reaching an agreement with Faizal that ‘Aku Faizal Tahir Live in Kuala Lumpur’ is not just entertainment without benefit, we believe that a great concert or performance like this should be showcased to the fans and the public,” said Sean Ng, an organizer from JioBuddy.

  • TAPAUFEST RETURNS TO LENGGONG: WHERE THE BEST OF INDIE MEETS WONDERFUL NATURE

    An embodiment of the spirit of unity and celebration, TAPAUfest brings together top and rising indie artists from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.

    “Instead of trying to make the festival bigger and bigger from one year to the next, our focus this year is on making sure that we pay more attention to the details especially in terms of getting the indie community and the locals of Lenggong to come together in terms of curation and participation”, said Ahmad Faris, Creative Director of TAPAUasia Sdn. Bhd..

    With that in mind, this year, TAPAUfest pays tribute to the women that make up the scene. This can be seen through their collaboration with Newruul, the young artist behind the poster and merch design, while the lineup at PENTAS (music stage) features plenty of up-and-coming female talents.

    Kicking off Day 1 with a bang, the new-generation ‘Midwest Emo’ outfit Mascot is all set to captivate the audience with their energy and depth.

    Next up, experimental dub reggae band Rub of Rub from Indonesia brings an ethereal sound that perfectly complements Lenggong’s enchanting landscape, which is especially magical during sunset.

    Opening the night’s performance is the electronic duo Wobbebong. Armed with high energy and curiosity, the girls will surely bring on the fun with a hint of quirkiness to their set.

    The next act on the lineup is the legendary Force Vomit from Singapore. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their sophomore album with the release of ‘Give It Up For The Trustfund Rockers’ in vinyl, the boys are hyped to rekindle their love relationship with Malaysia’s indie scene.

    Rock N’ roll Supergroup Jemson will then take the stage paying homage to Malaysia’s ‘rock kapak’ golden era while injecting their own modern sound and sense of humor, promising a high energy rock show.

    Closing Day 1 is Indonesia’s young balladeer, Nadin Amizah, whose fanbase in both Indonesia and Malaysia is getting larger as many flock to her emotionally honest, coming-of-age songs. She maintains a strong connection with her audience as a representative of a new generation of singers. For a reflective, sentimental dive into the depths of the soul, the combo of Tasik Raban’s natural beauty with Nadin Amizah’s performance would be perfect.

    Day 2 kicks off with one of the most exciting indie acts from Indonesia at the moment,The Jansen. Describing themselves as a mid-tempo 70’s punk band from Bogor, the band blew up after the release of the album, ‘Banal Semakin Binal’ last year.

    Next, Ipoh’s very own Muck will take the stage as a salute to local heroes. Formed in 1994, the band is considered one of the pioneers of Malaysia’s indie scene.

    Marking a first in TAPAUfest history, Door Plant is the first-ever act from Thailand to grace the festival’s stage, bringing a carefree and easy vibe to the stage with their unique sound as they stop by Malaysia in their tour.

    Bringing neo-folk to Lenggong, Bayangan‘s cinematic arrangements and lyrical self-exploration are set to captivate the audience, especially with a full band set-up for songs normally performed solo.

    Get ready to dance and contemplate the collective energy of Lomba Sihir, a band that has gained recognition as groovy poets of a complex love-hate relationship between humankind and the modern city with their album ‘Selamat Datang Di Ujung Dunia’.

    Last but not least, concluding the festival is Zee Avi, a trailblazer in the community of indie musicians as she leaped to fame during the early YouTube years. In 2009, her breakout singles “Kantoi” and “Bitter Heart” propelled her into the hearts and minds of not only Malaysians but also international audiences after being featured in NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert that same year. In 2020, her song “Good Things” was an anthem of hope for many. Ending a festival with her melancholic tunes and radiant songs is the best way to wrap up TAPAUfest.

    With music performances at PENTAS only starting at 5pm, this gives plenty of time for festival goers to discover and explore the magic of Lenggong where amazing nature and delicious food spots are aplenty.

    Beyond the PENTAS, TAPAUfest is also a creative hub of learning, discovery, and sharing. Step into the air-conditioned tent to escape the sun and dive into indie art and community workshops in the BENGKEL segment, or discover local indie shorts at LAYAR, co-curated with Kakiseni.

    TAPAUfest weaves food, art, and culture into its vibrant fabric, creating a hub of experiences. Savour the culinary delights of WARUNG, where street food vendors from Lenggong as well as from all over showcase the richness of Malaysia’s ‘makan’ culture.

    PASAR, a marketplace for records, merchandise, clothing, and artworks by indie artists and brands is where attendees can shop while being entertained by live DJs at the mini stage.

    One thing that sets TAPAUfest apart from other art festivals is the opportunity to camp out for 2 nights at Resort Tasik Raban and fully immerse in the Lenggong vibes. Campers can book their spot at the Santuy Campsite, where bonfire sessions and acoustic performances await or alternatively join the Outsiders Campout, tying hammocks, biking to Lata Perahu, and sharing in a community cookout.

    TAPAUfest 2023 is a festival experience by TAPAUasia in collaboration with Majlis Daerah Lenggong, Ipoh Social Club, Verssusika, and in partnership with Vans, Yoodo, Batik Air, Era, Gempak and Syok.

    TAPAUfest 2023 is supported by the Ministry of Communications and Digital Malaysia (KKD) through MyCreative Ventures (MYCV).

    Pre Sale tickets are on sale from now until 6th October 2023 for the price of: Solo Daily Ticket (1 ticket for Day 1 or Day 2) – RM175

  • WMOTO SX2-300 dan MOTOMORINI X-CAPE 650X Akan Bersaing Hebat dalam Rimba Raid Taman Negara 2023!

    KUALA LUMPUR, 24 OGOS 2023 – Hari ini, Mforce Bike Holdings Sdn. Bhd. (Mforce) mengadakan satu sidang media khas sempena penyertaan mereka dalam Rimba Raid Taman Negara 2023. Dalam acara ini, Mforce dengan bangganya mengumumkan bahawa mereka akan menghantar dua model motosikal berprestij, iaitu WMOTO SX2-300 dan Moto Morini X-Cape 650X, yang sama seperti penyertaan tahun lepas. Tahun ini, Moto Morini X-Cape 650X akan dikendalikan oleh pelumba veteran, Muhamad Nazmee bin Ramlee, sementara WMOTO SX2-300 akan diterajui oleh Muhamad Amirul bin Ramlee. Rimba Raid Taman Negara 2023 dijadualkan berlangsung dari 31 Ogos hingga 3 September 2023, dan Mforce pasti akan memberikan saingan sengit dalam acara prestij ini.

    Tahun lepas, WMOTO SX2-300 berjaya meraih tempat ketujuh keseluruhan bagi kategori C manakala Moto Morini X-Cape 650X menamatkan perlumbaan dengan kedudukan yang mengagumkan, iaitu tempat ke-15 keseluruhan atau pelumba Malaysia yang ketiga untuk kategori B. Kejayaan ini membuktikan bahawa Moto Morini dan WMOTO adalah antara jenama yang perlu digeruni oleh pelumba yang lain kerana kemampuan jenama ini menamatkan perlumbaan. Pencapaian ini bukan sahaja menonjolkan keupayaan teknikal motosikal, tetapi juga menunjukkan kecekapan dan ketahanan para pelumba mengharungi segala cabaran yang disediakan oleh pihak penganjur.

    Walaupun mendapat keputusan yang memberangsangkan, Mforce tidak akan terus selesa malah bakal menggunakan strategi baharu untuk memastikan kedua-dua model yang dipertandingkan ini bakal meraih tempat di podium. Tambahan pula, para pelumba ini dijangka bakal menghadapi laluan perlumbaan yang lebih mencabar dan panjang iaitu lebih kurang 250km berbanding tahun lepas yang cuma 150km sahaja. Oleh itu, perancangan yang lebih teliti perlu dilakukan untuk memastikan kejayaan berada di pihak Mforce.

    Sidang media pada hari ini jugak menyaksikan termeterainya perjanjian di antara dua pihak di mana pelumba WMOTO SX2-300, Muhamad Amirul bin Ramli menandatangi perjanjian tersebut dan ditandatangani oleh Encik Asri Ahmad, Ketua Pegawai Operasi Mforce. Manakala untuk Moto Morini,pelumba Muhamad Nazmee bin Amirul menandatangi perjanjian bersama dengan Pengarah Jabatan Jualan Antarabangsa Moto Morini iaitu Ethan.

    Keadaan geografi laluan yang begitu mencabar dan jarak perlumbaan sepanjang 200km, tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa ia menguji kecekapan, mentaliti, dan ketahanan pelumba, serta menuntut jentera perlumbaan yang terbaik untuk melengkapkan perlumbaan tersebut. Langkah Mforce untuk terus mengkaji dan mempertingkatkan strategi yang digunakan dalam acara Rimba Raid ini adalah wajar. Pengalaman dari perlumbaan lepas akan memberi adalah sangat berharga untuk pihak Mforce menilai semula tentang kekuatan dan kelemahan, serta membantu dalam penyempurnaan prestasi motosikal- motosikal tersebut semasa perlumbaan. Pihak Mforce mengucapkan semoga berjaya kepada Muhamad Nazmee bin Ramli dan Muhamad Amirul bin Ramli.

    Sehubungan dengan itu, berdasarkan pemantauan pihak Penguat Kuasa dan lebih 900 Pegawai Pemantau Harga KPDN setiap hari melibatkan hampir 1,500 premis meliputi Pasar Basah, Hypermarket dan Supermarket, Pasar Mini dan Kedai Runcit di seluruh Malaysia, data yang KPDN perolehi hasil dari tindakan pemantauan harga seluruh negara menunjukkan bahawa dalam 2 minggu kebelakangan ini, dari tarikh 12 Ogos 2023 sehingga 26 Ogos 2023, harga purata ayam standard di semenanjung Malaysia menunjukkan penurunan sebanyak 0.33%. Harga purata ayam standard di Semenanjung pada 12 Ogos 2023 iaitu RM8.73/kg menurun kepada RM8.70/kg pada 26 Ogos 2023. Manakala di Sabah dan Sarawak juga menunjukkan penurunan harga purata iaitu masing-masing sebanyak 0.12% (Sabah) iaitu dari RM 11.30/kg kepada RM11.29/kg dan turun sebanyak 0.47% (Sarawak) iaitu dari RM10.28/kg kepada RM10.23/kg bagi tempoh yang sama.

    KPDN berharap wartawan menghubungi KPDN untuk mendapat data yang tepat dan terkini untuk mengelakkan kekeliruan dan mungkin membangkitkan keresahan di kalangan pengguna. Artikel tersebut merujuk kepada statistik IHP bulan Februari 2023 keluaran Jabatan Statistik Malaysia (DOSM) dan membandingkan dengan data bulan yang sama tahun 2022 sedangkan data terbaru sehingga Julai 2023 telah pun dikeluarkan oleh DOSM.

    Untuk makluman, harga purata ayam standard di pasaran pada bulan Februari 2023 adalah stabil pada harga kawalan dan trend penurunan mula dilihat mulai Julai sehingga Ogos 2023 dengan harga purata terendah dicatatkan pada 4 ogos 2023 di Semenanjung iaitu RM8.11/kg. Selari dengan itu juga, kadar inflasi terus mereda beserta dengan Indeks Harga Pengguna berada dalam jajaran menurun.
