Kejohanan ini akan berlangsung dari 22 hingga 25 Oktober 2026 di PLAYA Racquet Club @ PARC Subang.

    Pemain yang menunjukkan prestasi cemerlang di Paramount Cup bukan sahaja akan bersaing untuk mendapatkan pingat dan hadiah wang tunai, malah berpeluang melayakkan diri ke kejohanan dalam jelajah APP. Perkembangan ini memberikan nilai tambah kepada kejohanan tempatan kerana pemain mempunyai peluang untuk menguji kemampuan mereka dalam suasana pertandingan yang lebih kompetitif.

    Edisi kedua Paramount Cup turut memperluaskan penyertaan dengan memperkenalkan lapan kategori junior baharu.

  • KSIA Sediakan Studio Profesional untuk Bantu Bakat Bina Kerjaya Digital

    KSIA Sediakan Studio Profesional untuk Bantu Bakat Bina Kerjaya Digital

    KamiSempoi International Agency merancang menyediakan kemudahan studio secara sewaan kepada penstrim langsung yang belum mempunyai kemampuan untuk membina studio sendiri.

    Inisiatif tersebut mengambil kira cabaran kewangan yang dihadapi oleh individu yang mahu memulakan kerjaya sebagai penstrim langsung profesional.

    Penyediaan studio LIVE yang lengkap memerlukan pelaburan besar, khususnya untuk komputer berprestasi tinggi, kamera, kad bunyi, sistem audio dan peralatan teknikal lain.

    Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif KamiSempoi International Agency, Chin Swee berkata, individu yang mempunyai simpanan dan bajet boleh membangunkan studio sendiri.

    Namun, pihaknya mahu menyediakan pilihan kepada bakat baharu yang belum mempunyai modal mencukupi.

    “Untuk menyediakan sebuah studio LIVE yang benar-benar profesional, kosnya besar.

    “Kalau mereka sudah menyimpan dan mempunyai bajet, mereka boleh menyediakan studio sendiri. Tetapi kalau belum mempunyai bajet, kami mahu menyediakan studio untuk mereka,” katanya.

    Studio tersebut akan dilengkapi komputer, dua kamera, sistem bunyi dan keperluan asas untuk menjalankan siaran langsung.

    Langkah itu menjadikan KamiSempoi International Agency sebagai pusat sehenti yang bukan sahaja menyediakan latihan, malah menawarkan kemudahan teknikal kepada individu yang mahu membina kerjaya dalam bidang berkenaan.

    Penubuhan KamiSempoi Premier Academy turut bertujuan mengubah persepsi bahawa pekerjaan dari rumah tidak memerlukan disiplin dan sasaran.

    Chin Swee berkata, ramai individu berminat menjadi penstrim langsung tetapi tidak mempunyai panduan yang jelas.

    “Kita mahu mengubah pemikiran bahawa apabila bekerja dari rumah, seseorang itu tidak perlu mempunyai disiplin.

    “Kalau mahu menjadikannya sebagai pekerjaan tetap, kita perlu bekerja dan belajar,” katanya.

    Menurut beliau, seseorang penstrim langsung perlu mempunyai dorongan, semangat bersaing dan prestasi yang konsisten.

    Akademi itu mahu melahirkan generasi penstrim langsung yang memiliki disiplin, sasaran, daya saing dan kesungguhan untuk membina kerjaya.

    Bidang penstriman langsung juga boleh menjadi pilihan kerjaya kepada individu daripada pelbagai latar belakang, asalkan mereka mempunyai kemahiran komunikasi serta kemahuan untuk belajar.

    Calon tidak semestinya mempunyai pengalaman dalam industri hiburan kerana akademi berkenaan boleh membantu mereka membangunkan kemahiran lain yang diperlukan.

    “Kami mahu membuka peluang kepada mereka yang benar-benar mahu belajar dan bekerja.

    “Kalau ada kebolehan bercakap, berkomunikasi dan menghiburkan orang, kami boleh membantu mereka membangunkan kemahiran lain,” katanya.

    KamiSempoi International Agency mahu menjadi pusat sehenti untuk individu belajar, bekerja dan membina kerjaya sebagai penstrim langsung profesional.

    Dengan komuniti sekitar 4,300 hos di Malaysia, 1,500 di Indonesia dan 200 di Singapura, agensi tersebut melihat potensi industri penstriman langsung masih sangat besar.

    Matlamat akhirnya adalah untuk melahirkan penstrim langsung Malaysia yang mampu bersaing pada peringkat antarabangsa.

    Menurut Chin Swee, perubahan tersebut tidak boleh berlaku dalam satu malam, namun usaha meningkatkan profesionalisme industri perlu dimulakan sekarang.

    Menerusi penganjuran KamiSempoi Golden Award 2025 dan penubuhan KamiSempoi Premier Academy, agensi tersebut bersedia membina generasi penstrim langsung yang lebih profesional, berkemahiran dan bersedia menghadapi persaingan global.

  • Why Foldable Phones Have Become the Preferred Choice for these Malaysian CEOs

    (L-R) Dr Choo Mei Sze of PersonEdge, Chu Wai Lune of OSK Property and Pinn Yang Lim of Foodie Media

    Foldable smartphones are increasingly becoming the preferred choice among business leaders in Malaysia, driven by their ability to support productivity, mobility and multitasking in today’s fast-paced working environment. As work continues to extend beyond the traditional office, professionals are seeking devices that allow them to manage meetings, approvals, communication and decision-making efficiently while on the move. For many executives, foldable smartphones have evolved from being a premium gadget into an essential business tool.

    To highlight this growing trend, Samsung recently shared the experiences of several Malaysian chief executive officers who rely on its latest foldable smartphones in their daily routines. Their insights reveal how features such as larger displays, multi-window multitasking, compact designs and Galaxy AI capabilities are helping them stay organised and productive without depending solely on laptops or desktop computers.

    Founder and CEO of PersonEdge as well as Youth Ambassador of the National Cancer Society of Malaysia, Dr. Choo Mei Sze, believes the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 offers the ideal balance between portability and performance. She appreciates its compact foldable design, which fits easily into handbags and pockets while remaining readily accessible throughout her busy schedule. Combined with Galaxy AI features, the device enables her to manage work more efficiently and optimise her time during meetings, speaking engagements and events.

    According to Dr. Choo, the ability to open multiple windows simultaneously has significantly improved her workflow. Whether reviewing spreadsheets while checking emails or quickly capturing photos and selfies during public events, the foldable device allows her to complete multiple tasks without interruption. Its lightweight form factor also makes it easier to carry throughout the day, an advantage she considers indispensable compared to conventional smartphones.

    Meanwhile, OSK Property CEO Chu Wai Lune values the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 for its larger display and versatility. With business operations becoming increasingly digital, he frequently approves electronic documents and attends virtual meetings from various locations. The foldable screen allows him to comfortably review presentations and important documents without needing a separate tablet or laptop, ensuring productivity even while travelling.

    For Pinn Yang Lim, Co-Founder of Foodie Media, foldable smartphones have become an integral part of managing a fast-growing digital business. Having used several generations of Samsung foldable devices, he regards the Galaxy Z Fold7 as a mobile workstation that combines the functionality of both a smartphone and tablet. Its expansive display allows him to review presentations, financial reports, marketing materials and social media content before making business decisions, regardless of where he is.

    One feature Pinn relies on daily is Multi-Window multitasking, which enables him to run messaging applications, emails and documents simultaneously. This capability allows him to review campaign creatives while communicating with team members in real time and monitoring campaign performance on the same screen. By reducing the need to switch between multiple applications, the foldable device helps accelerate collaboration and decision-making.

    Beyond hardware, these business leaders also emphasise the importance of disciplined productivity habits. From starting the day with mental clarity and staying constantly connected to making timely decisions backed by data, their experiences demonstrate that technology is most effective when paired with efficient work practices. Foldable smartphones complement these habits by providing instant access to information and enabling seamless communication throughout the day.

    As hybrid work, digital collaboration and mobile decision-making become standard practice, foldable smartphones are emerging as practical productivity solutions for modern professionals. With innovations such as larger flexible displays, advanced multitasking capabilities and AI-powered features, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 are redefining how Malaysian business leaders work, communicate and stay productive wherever business takes them.

The outlet features graceful arches, intricate latticework, Peranakan-inspired tiles, lush tropical greenery and tranquil courtyard elements, blending nostalgic aesthetics with a welcoming atmosphere that is open to everyone.

    According to Hock Kee founder Nick Ng, the Heritage Concept goes beyond serving delicious meals by creating a destination where guests can reconnect with Malaysia’s cultural roots. Staying true to the brand’s spirit of Muhibbah, the outlet welcomes families, friends and visitors from all walks of life to gather around one table and enjoy an authentic local dining experience in a setting that reflects the nation’s diverse heritage.

    Complementing the heritage-inspired ambience is an exclusive menu available only at Hock Kee Heritage outlets. Diners can enjoy signature creations such as the Cheesy Jumbo River Prawn Bee Hoon, Herbal Chicken with Rice and Heritage Fried Basmathi Rice with Chicken Satay. Each dish draws inspiration from nostalgic Malaysian recipes while incorporating Hock Kee’s modern culinary approach, offering familiar flavours with a refreshing contemporary twist.

    Inspired by timeless Malaysian flavours, the Heritage Fried Basmathi Rice with Chicken Satay pairs fragrant basmathi fried rice with grilled chicken satay, served alongside Hock Kee’s signature peanut sauce.
    The Herbal Chicken with Rice showcases tender chicken slow-cooked in a fragrant blend of traditional Chinese herbs, served with steamed rice for a hearty and comforting meal.
    Hock Kee Heritage’s Cheesy Jumbo River Prawn Bee Hoon features silky rice vermicelli topped with jumbo river prawns and finished with a rich, creamy cheese sauce, offering a unique twist on a comforting Malaysian favourite.

    The exclusive menu is freshly prepared using quality ingredients, reflecting the brand’s continued commitment to preserving authentic Malaysian flavours while meeting the evolving tastes of today’s consumers. By combining traditional recipes with innovative presentation, Hock Kee aims to introduce a new generation of diners to the rich culinary heritage that has shaped the country’s food culture.

    The grand opening celebration also featured a special live performance by Malaysian pop group 1119 TRIPLE1NINE, who debuted Hock Kee Kopitiam’s original theme song, “KOPITIAM You & Me.” The upbeat anthem captures the warmth and familiarity of everyday kopitiam life, turning the sights, sounds and flavours of a traditional coffee shop into a memorable musical experience. Since its release, the music video has attracted more than 260,000 views on YouTube, highlighting its growing popularity among Malaysians.

    The opening was further elevated by a special live performance from local pop group 1119 TRIPLE1NINE, who performed Hock Kee Kopitiam’s theme song, “KOPITIAM You & Me”, for the very first time. 

    Written and composed by local artist Danny Koo, the song reflects Hock Kee’s dedication to promoting Malaysian creativity while supporting homegrown talent. The collaboration with 1119 TRIPLE1NINE reinforces the brand’s efforts to celebrate local culture beyond food, using music and entertainment to strengthen the emotional connection between customers and Malaysia’s beloved kopitiam tradition.

    Established in Johor Bahru in 2018, Hock Kee Kopitiam has steadily grown into one of Malaysia’s leading kopitiam chains with 22 outlets nationwide. The company plans to continue its expansion with the upcoming opening of a new outlet at Puteri Hill, Johor Bahru, as it brings its signature heritage-inspired dining experience to even more communities across the country.

    Guests gathered to celebrate the opening of Hock Kee Heritage, enjoying local favourites and a lively atmosphere.
