Festival Jabat Erat (Fringe Arts Festival) yang akan berlangsung dari 5 hingga 7 Jun ini dijangka menjadi antara acara seni alternatif paling dinanti tahun ini apabila menghimpunkan penggiat muzik dan seni dari pelbagai latar belakang dalam satu platform yang inklusif. Dianjurkan oleh Rockstation Event & Entertainment Sdn. Bhd., festival ini bukan sekadar acara hiburan, sebaliknya sebuah gerakan komuniti yang mengangkat semangat D.I.Y dan budaya independen, merangkumi pelbagai aspek daripada produksi muzik fizikal seperti vinil dan kaset hingga penganjuran jelajah serta pengedaran karya secara mandiri.
Menurut Pengarah Urusannya, Mozylir Mokhtarudin, Jabat Erat berperanan sebagai hab rangkaian yang menghubungkan pemain industri dari Malaysia, Asia Tenggara dan antarabangsa, sekali gus membuka ruang kolaborasi antara artis mapan dan bakat baharu dalam pelbagai genre seperti rock, punk, shoegaze dan metal. Bertempat di ODEON KL yang telah dihidupkan semula sebagai ruang seni pelbagai guna, festival ini turut memberi penekanan kepada penglibatan belia dalam suasana yang selamat, terbuka dan berteraskan komuniti. Lebih 20 artis termasuk nama antarabangsa seperti Yellow Fang, Megumi Acorda dan Coaltar of the Deepers akan membuat persembahan, di samping barisan artis tempatan yang semakin mendapat perhatian.
Dalam masa yang sama, festival ini turut memperlihatkan kerjasama strategik antara ODEON KL dan Loket MY sebagai rakan rasmi tiket, sekali gus memperkukuh ekosistem industri kreatif tempatan melalui integrasi teknologi dan pengurusan acara yang lebih efisien. Kolaborasi ini bukan sahaja memudahkan proses pembelian tiket, malah membantu penganjur memahami kehendak penonton dengan lebih baik. Dengan harga tiket bermula daripada RM118 untuk pra-jualan, Jabat Erat dilihat berpotensi menjadi pemangkin kepada pertumbuhan budaya seni alternatif di Malaysia serta mengukuhkan pertukaran budaya di peringkat antarabangsa.
As the world continues to navigate ongoing economic pressures, including concerns around oil supply and rising fuel costs, many governments are encouraging businesses to adopt hybrid work arrangements as a way to support operational efficiency and reduce commuting demand. In Malaysia, the Government has introduced such measures for civil servants, including ministries, government agencies, and government-linked companies.
This shift towards more flexible work models is further supported by a global Zoom survey, which found that 75% of employees believe their current remote or hybrid work tools require improvement, while 72% are calling for increased investment in new workplace technologies.
In response to these evolving demands, Jabra, a global leader in professional audio and video solutions, continues to enhance its hybrid work portfolio. Designed to support everything from individual focus work to full-room collaboration, its latest innovations prioritise clear communication, mobility, and scalable deployment across organisations.
Today, Jabra introduces two key additions to its hybrid work ecosystem: the Jabra Evolve3 headset series and the Jabra PanaCast Room Kit.
The Jabra Evolve3 series represents a new generation of professional headsets designed to address ongoing challenges in virtual communication. According to Jabra’s Certification Study (2023), 83% of knowledge workers report that poor audio quality negatively affects online meetings, with call clarity identified as the most common issue in headset usage. Despite this, 46% of professionals still rely on consumer-grade headsets, which may not meet the requirements of professional-grade communication in terms of clarity, comfort, and compatibility.
The Jabra Evolve3 series is purpose-built for hybrid professionals who move between office, home, and mobile environments. It is available in both over-the-ear (Evolve3 85) and on-the-ear (Evolve3 75) variants, featuring a discreet boomless design powered by next-generation audio intelligence.
At the core of the series is Jabra ClearVoice technology, supported by deep neural network (DNN) models trained on more than 60 million real-world sentences. This allows the system to isolate the user’s voice from background noise without the need for a visible boom microphone. Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) further enhances performance by adjusting dynamically to the user’s environment and headset fit, ensuring clearer audio during calls and media use.
As workplace communication becomes increasingly mobile, voice interaction is also gaining importance. Research indicates that voice input can be up to three times faster than typing, making accurate speech capture essential for professionals working in dynamic or screen-free environments. The Evolve3 series is designed with this in mind, offering extended battery life and fast-charging capabilities to support full-day usage.
Shared key features across both Jabra Evolve3 85 and Evolve3 75 include a boomless AI-enhanced multi-microphone system powered by Jabra ClearVoice, Adaptive ANC during calls, Spatial Sound for a more natural audio experience, up to 37 hours of battery life with 10-minute fast charging providing up to 10 hours of use, secure Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity with Google Fast Pair and no dongle requirement, UC certification for leading virtual meeting platforms, and configuration and updates via the Jabra Plus mobile app.
The Evolve3 85 (over-ear) model is designed for maximum immersion and noise isolation, making it suitable for professionals working in louder environments. It offers up to 25 hours of call time or up to 120 hours of media playback (with ANC and busylight off), along with 10-minute fast charging for up to 10 hours of use. It also features a foldable design and compact carrying case for portability.
The Evolve3 75 (on-ear) model provides a lighter and more breathable fit, ideal for hybrid workers who require greater situational awareness. It delivers up to 22 hours of talk time or up to 110 hours of media playback (with ANC and busylight off), along with the same 10-minute fast-charge capability for extended daily use. Its more compact form factor makes it suitable for frequent travel and mobility.
Complementing its personal audio solutions, the Jabra PanaCast Room Kit extends intelligent collaboration into meeting rooms of all sizes. Designed for plug-and-play deployment and scalable configurations, the system delivers consistent video and audio performance for medium to large meeting spaces.
The kit is available in configurations supporting one, three, or five cameras, allowing organisations to match coverage to room size and layout while maintaining a consistent user experience across locations. Built on Jabra’s panoramic video technology and multi-camera intelligence, the system automatically frames speakers and captures the entire room. Integrated audio ensures remote participants can clearly hear discussions from any position, supporting a more inclusive meeting experience.
The Jabra PanaCast Room Kit includes the Jabra PanaCast 50 VBS, a video bar that supports extension audio and multi-camera setups, delivering 180-degree panoramic video with intelligent framing and edge AI features. It also includes the Jabra PanaCast SpeakerMic, an extension microphone that captures voices evenly across the room while providing intuitive meeting controls. In addition, the system features an expandable multi-camera setup powered by Huddly Crew technology, enabling intelligent speaker tracking and dynamic framing based on active speakers.
Across Asia Pacific, organisations are increasingly investing in workplace technologies that balance flexibility with performance. According to the Jabra Knowledge Worker Study conducted with the London School of Economics, 60% of professionals expect voice to become the primary interface for workplace technology within the next three years. By integrating intelligent personal audio with scalable room-based video systems, Jabra aims to deliver a unified ecosystem designed for the evolving needs of hybrid teams.
“From individual workspaces to full meeting rooms, organisations across APAC need collaboration technology that is reliable, adaptable, and built to scale,” said Melvin Phun, Country Manager at Jabra Malaysia. “With Jabra Evolve3 and the Jabra PanaCast Room Kit, we continue to strengthen our leadership in professional audio and video solutions for the next generation of work.”
Jabra Evolve3 85, priced at MYR 3,000, is now available via Jabra’s official Shopee and Lazada stores. Jabra Evolve3 75, priced at MYR 2,300, is also available through the same channels. The Jabra PanaCast Room Kit, priced from MYR 35,000 to MYR 75,000, is expected to be available in Malaysia in Q2 2026.
The success of Nestlé Malaysia’s Ramadan outreach was driven not only by its scale but also by the spirit of volunteerism that underpinned its efforts. Through the Nestlé Sayang Komuniti initiative, employees and young volunteers came together to support communities in need, embodying the true essence of Ramadan through acts of service and compassion.
One of the key highlights was the preparation and nationwide distribution of MAGGI Bubur Lambuk, a cherished Ramadan tradition that brought people together while providing nourishing meals. This year, the initiative reached more than 400,000 individuals across over 300 locations, making it one of the largest community-driven efforts of its kind. Volunteers worked alongside local communities and students to prepare and distribute the meals, creating meaningful connections and shared experiences.
The programme also engaged students from higher education institutions, including Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) and Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK). Their involvement not only supported the logistical aspects of the initiative but also fostered a deeper sense of empathy, social responsibility and community spirit among the younger generation. Gotong-royong activities further strengthened bonds between volunteers and beneficiaries, reinforcing the importance of unity and cooperation.
By placing youth and volunteerism at the heart of its initiatives, Nestlé Malaysia continues to inspire a culture of giving, empowering individuals to contribute meaningfully to society while building a more compassionate and connected community.

Castrol Malaysia today announced the expansion of its sponsorship in the Motorsports Association of Malaysia (MAM) Malaysian Cub Prix Championship through its racing programme with Yuzy Racing. At the same time, the company introduced Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 10W-40, underscoring its continued commitment to performance engineering for both competitive racing and everyday scooter mobility.
Under the expanded arrangement, Castrol’s championship sponsorship now encompasses both the CP150 and CP125 categories, two of the championship’s premier underbone (“cub”) racing classes. On track, Castrol is represented through Yuzy Racing, fielding three bikes in the CP150 category and one in CP125. This broader involvement increases Castrol’s presence across multiple displacement classes within Malaysia’s leading underbone racing platform, reinforcing its commitment to rider development and advancing technical performance standards.
Launched alongside the initiative, Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 10W-40 is a premium fully synthetic engine oil formulated for modern scooters operating in high-heat, high-friction environments. Developed to support acceleration while delivering sustained protection under load, the formulation helps maintain performance stability across prolonged urban riding conditions. Aqeel Danish, Ahmad Darwisy, Mr. Gan Wee Kiong, Shahrol Yuzy, Azrooy Hakeem, and Shahrol Syazaras were present at the Cub Prix signing event.
“Cub Prix is one of Malaysia’s most competitive two-wheel racing platforms, where both rider and machine are pushed to perform consistently,” said Joshua Tan, Head of Marketing for Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. “By extending our sponsorship across both the CP150 and CP125 categories, we are reinforcing our presence in a setting where performance is continuously tested under race conditions, while also supporting the teams and emerging talent driving the championship forward.” He added that this same emphasis on consistency is reflected in Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 10W-40, noting that for many riders, performance is experienced through everyday conditions such as heat, stop-start traffic and extended operating hours, and that the company’s 5-in-1 Full Synthetic technology is designed to deliver smoother engine operation and enhanced protection against heat and wear in real-world riding environments.

Gan Wee Kiong, Country Sales Director for Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines at Castrol, said Cub Prix is an important platform for developing racing talent and testing performance in real racing conditions. He noted that insights gained from motorsports help Castrol develop better products for everyday riders, and that with the scooter segment continuing to grow in Malaysia, the introduction of Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter reflects the company’s focus on supporting both racing performance and the needs of daily riders, while meeting the quality and regulatory standards expected in the Malaysian market.
Across Malaysia, scooters are used under demanding daily patterns, from urban commuting to work-related travel and delivery activity. These operating conditions place thermal and mechanical stress on engines over long hours of use, making lubrication performance a practical reliability decision rather than just a specification on paper. Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 10W-40 enters the market with this expectation in mind, reflecting Castrol’s continued focus on engineering solutions that perform reliably in real operating environments and meet the standards riders and service centres expect during maintenance, where dependable protection over actual mileage remains the priority.
Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE Scooter 10W-40 is currently undergoing final regulatory approval and is expected to be available in the Malaysian market from May 2026 onwards following SIRIM certification. The product is already in production at Castrol’s manufacturing facility in Port Klang, and the certification ensures that engine oils meet the required national quality and performance standards before entering the market.

Kata Hati ialah sebuah naskhah romantik komedi yang mengisahkan cinta antara seorang pelakon wanita popular dan seorang pemandu e-hailing. Industri perfileman tempatan bakal diserikan dengan kemunculan filem cinta terbaharu ini yang menggabungkan elemen percintaan, humor dan realiti kehidupan moden dalam sebuah karya yang segar.
Filem terbitan Wayangworks Sdn. Bhd. dan Filmscape Sdn. Bhd. ini merupakan sebuah karya santai dan menghiburkan, namun pada masa yang sama berkembang menjadi sebuah cerita yang lebih mendalam tentang kehidupan serta pilihan hati.
Menurut penerbitnya, Muhammad Bahir, Kata Hati tercetus daripada pengalaman dan pemerhatian mereka dalam industri perfileman yang sering bertemu dengan ramai selebriti. Daripada situ, mereka tertarik melihat perbezaan antara persona yang ditampilkan di hadapan kamera dengan kehidupan sebenar di sebaliknya.
“Kami mengambil keputusan untuk menghasilkan sebuah kisah di sebalik dunia glamor seorang selebriti, yang kemudian disatukan dengan jalan cerita yang mampu menghiburkan penonton,” katanya.
Filem arahan Nadiah Hamzah ini mengangkat kisah percintaan antara seorang pelakon wanita popular dengan seorang pemandu e-hailing, sekali gus menyentuh realiti kehidupan moden yang dekat dengan masyarakat hari ini.
Menariknya, filem ini menampilkan barisan pelakon muda seperti Nia Atasha, Yusof Hashim dan Fazziq Muqris sebagai teraju utama, bergandingan dengan nama-nama popular seperti Scha Alyahya, Taqim Zaki dan Norreen Iman. Lebih istimewa, Kata Hati turut diserikan dengan penampilan cameo beberapa pelakon terkenal tanah air termasuk Beto Kusyairy, Nabila Huda, Liyana Jasmay, Nina Kho dan Shweta Sekhon.
Penerbit eksekutif, Juliana Foo, berkata filem ini hadir tepat pada masanya memandangkan penonton kini sudah lama disajikan dengan naskhah bergenre aksi dan seram. Menurutnya, genre romantik komedi masih mempunyai peminat tersendiri yang merindui cerita cinta yang ringan dan menghiburkan.
“Kata Hati hadir sebagai sebuah ‘modern fairy tale’ dengan elemen ‘high-stakes romance’ yang memberikan pengalaman menonton yang indah dan berkesan di pawagam,” jelasnya.
Pengarahnya, Nadiah Hamzah, pula menjelaskan bahawa filem ini menawarkan kepelbagaian rasa yang disatukan dalam satu penceritaan yang unik dan menarik. Selepas mengarahkan filem yang lebih berat seperti Motif, beliau berhasrat untuk menghasilkan sebuah karya cinta yang lebih ringan, menghiburkan serta mampu membuat penonton ketawa dan menangis.
Beliau turut menjelaskan bahawa pemilihan pelakon utama dibuat menerusi sesi uji bakat, dan walaupun mereka merupakan pendatang baharu dalam dunia perfileman, komitmen serta kesungguhan yang ditunjukkan amat mengagumkan.
Sebagai pengarah, Nadiah berharap penonton dapat merasai keindahan dan kejujuran kisah cinta yang dipaparkan dalam filem ini. Katanya, filem ini diharapkan dapat menghimpunkan penonton untuk meraikan sebuah kisah cinta manusiawi yang menyentuh emosi melalui elemen gelak tawa dan tangisan, serta mengingatkan kembali kemanisan dalam bercinta.
Penggambaran filem ini telah dijalankan pada awal Ogos 2025 di sekitar Kuala Lumpur dan Kuantan. Kata Hati akan mula ditayangkan di pawagam seluruh negara pada 4 Jun 2026. Untuk maklumat lanjut, orang ramai boleh melayari laman web filemkatahati.my.
Over the years, Seremban 2 has evolved into one of Negeri Sembilan’s most established and vibrant townships, where thoughtfully planned neighbourhoods, commercial centres and green landscapes have created a balanced environment for families to live, work and grow. Building upon this strong foundation, IJM Land continues to shape the township’s next chapter through S2 Heights Aman by introducing a vibrant collection of recreational spaces designed to bring people closer to nature and to one another. Anchored by the scenic 12-acre S2 Lake Park, the new recreational precinct also features the adventurous 3-acre Kidz Venture Park, a dedicated Pet Zone, an interactive light zone, and a striking public art installation titled Family Bonding (Where Unity Forms). Together, these attractions create a lively lakeside destination where families can stroll along breezy pathways, children can explore engaging outdoor play spaces, and pet owners can spend meaningful time with their companions in a thoughtfully designed environment. This recreational ecosystem represents an investment of approximately RM6.8 million, covering concept planning, landscape design, public art commissioning and community facilities, reflecting IJM Land’s ongoing commitment to creating townships where nature, recreation and community life come together seamlessly.
S2 Heights Aman, inspired by nature and designed for peaceful living, spans 400 acres with an estimated gross development value of RM1.585 billion, marking a significant milestone in the continuing evolution of Seremban 2. The name “Aman,” which conveys peace, comfort and tranquillity, reflects the essence of the precinct’s vision, offering residents a calmer pace of life surrounded by nature. Set within an elevated landscape and framed by the Banjaran Titiwangsa mountain range, the development enjoys refreshing breezes, sweeping green vistas and a calming natural environment. Within this setting, the newly completed parks introduce vibrant spaces where everyday moments unfold naturally, from morning jogs by the lake to children’s laughter across playgrounds and quiet family gatherings beneath the shade of trees.
At the centre of this lifestyle ecosystem is the 12-acre S2 Lake Park, a picturesque lakeside retreat surrounded by landscaped greenery and open lawns. Designed to support community well-being, the park features shaded pathways for leisurely walks, viewing decks with calming water vistas, pavilions for rest and social interaction, as well as exercise areas and scenic lookout points that encourage residents to stay active while enjoying the natural surroundings. Nearby, the 3-acre Kidz Venture Park offers an energetic playground environment that sparks imagination and movement through adventurous play structures, cycling paths and interactive spaces, encouraging children to explore, climb and build confidence through outdoor play.
Adding a playful digital dimension, IJM Land has also introduced Negeri Sembilan’s first large-scale motion-responsive interactive projection installation at S2 Heights Aman. Transforming a 50-metre walkway into a vibrant interactive light zone, the installation responds to movement and touch, allowing visitors to step, run and play as colourful projections shift beneath their feet. Featuring more than 80 types of interactive 3D visual scenes that refresh automatically every few minutes, it turns an evening stroll into a lively digital playground where families can experience a blend of technology, creativity and outdoor fun. Recognising the growing role of pets in modern family life, a dedicated Pet Zone has also been introduced, providing a welcoming outdoor space for pet owners to spend quality time with their companions while connecting with like-minded neighbours. Following encouraging community response, IJM Land plans to further enhance the area by expanding the Pet Zone to create additional open spaces for pets and residents to enjoy together.
At the heart of S2 Lake Park stands the striking Family Bonding (Where Unity Forms) sculpture by renowned Malaysian sculptor Nizam Abdullah. Constructed from metal and steel, the sculpture rises approximately 6.6 metres high and spans 7.5 metres wide. At first glance, its bold red panels appear fragmented and abstract, but when viewed from the right perspective, the pieces align to reveal the silhouette of a family—a father, mother and two children walking together. The artwork invites visitors to move around it, gradually discovering how separate fragments can come together to form a meaningful whole. According to Nizam Abdullah, the sculpture reflects how families grow and remain connected through different stages of life, with fragmented forms symbolising moments of challenge, distance and change that ultimately align through patience and understanding. The use of steel and metal represents strength, endurance and protection, capturing the quiet resilience and enduring support that define family relationships.
Placed at the centre of the lake park, the sculpture symbolises the importance of family within community life, mirroring how the park itself brings families and neighbours together through shared experiences. According to Datuk Chai Kian Soon, Chief Operating Officer of IJM Land, the parks and recreational spaces reflect the developer’s vision of creating townships where nature, community and everyday living are thoughtfully connected. He noted that a township becomes meaningful when it offers spaces for people to gather, relax and spend time with those who matter most, adding that S2 Heights Aman was envisioned as an environment where families can enjoy nature, children can play freely and neighbours can connect through shared spaces. He further emphasised that such investments contribute to long-term value by enhancing quality of life, supporting healthier lifestyles and strengthening the township’s identity.
Building on the momentum of its first phase, Sutera Phase 2 at S2 Heights Aman has now been launched with a gross development value of RM93 million. This new phase introduces 104 units of 22’ x 65’ two-storey link homes with built-ups starting from 1,949 square feet, offering buyers the opportunity to be part of a neighbourhood supported by completed infrastructure, maturing landscapes and newly unveiled recreational parks. As Seremban 2 continues to grow, destinations such as S2 Lake Park further strengthen its identity as a township where nature, art and everyday life come together in harmony. Whether enjoying a peaceful lakeside walk, watching children discover new adventures at the playground or pausing beside the Family Bonding sculpture, visitors are invited to experience the tranquil landscape and welcoming community that define S2 Heights Aman. For more information, the public may visit the official channels or call 1800 222 456.
