2026-09-23T12:24:17.560+08:00

For families across Malaysia and Asia, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a cherished time for reunion, togetherness and traditions, marked by gatherings under the full moon and the sharing of mooncakes with loved ones. As travellers journey home to celebrate with family and friends, Emirates is bringing the spirit of the festival onboard, offering customers a taste of the occasion while travelling between Dubai and Malaysia.

On 25 and 26 September 2026, customers travelling on select Emirates flights will receive a complimentary mooncake as part of their meal service across all cabin classes. The seasonal treat, featuring traditional red bean paste filling, will be served alongside lunch or dinner.

In First Class and Business Class, customers will receive a specially packaged mooncake gift box following the first meal service. In Premium Economy and Economy Class, mooncakes will be presented as part of the meal tray service.

Alongside the festive culinary offering, customers can also enjoy Emirates' extensive inflight entertainment selection on ice, featuring more than 40 Cantonese and Mandarin films, including recent titles such as I Am What I Am 2, Invincible Swordsman, The Way We Talk and I Want to Be Rich. Travellers can also access more than 300 Hollywood releases with Chinese subtitles, including How to Train Your Dragon, Elio, Materialists and Audrey's Children.

Beyond Malaysia, Emirates' Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations will also be available on select flights between Dubai and China, Hong Kong SAR, Taiwan and Singapore, extending the festive experience to customers travelling across the region.

Ahmad Tea Celebrates 40 Years of Tea Heritage with a Ruby Jubilee Celebration in Malaysia

2026-09-22T23:41:57.568+08:00

Forty years after its beginnings as a small family tea shop in England, Ahmad Tea is celebrating a milestone that brings together its British roots, international journey and ambitions for the future.

The family-owned tea brand marked its 40th anniversary with a Ruby Jubilee celebration in Malaysia, inviting guests to explore the stories and craftsmanship behind its teas. Alongside a look back at four decades of tea making, the occasion introduced a new addition to its portfolio: Ahmad Tea Sencha.

It was a celebration of how far the brand has travelled, but also of the founding principle it continues to uphold—that every tea carrying the Ahmad Tea name should be worthy of being served in the family home.

From a Family Tea Shop to an International Brand

Ahmad Tea’s story began in Southampton, England, in 1986, when Mr. Rahim Afshar and his brothers established a small family tea business.

At its heart was an uncompromising approach to quality. Rather than treating tea simply as a product, the family built its business around selecting and creating blends they would be proud to share at home.

That personal standard became the foundation of the brand’s identity. Over the following four decades, Ahmad Tea grew beyond its early beginnings to reach tea drinkers around the world, while remaining family-owned.

Today, its portfolio spans classic British black teas, herbal infusions and contemporary tea varieties. The range reflects a balance between preserving familiar favourites and responding to the different ways people enjoy tea.

Bringing Four Decades of History to Life

The Malaysian Ruby Jubilee celebration offered guests a closer look at that journey through a 40-Year Heritage Wall, curated tea-tasting sessions and a presentation of the brand’s extensive portfolio.

The heritage display traced the company’s development, providing context for the family story behind the name. Meanwhile, the tasting sessions placed the focus on the tea itself, giving guests an opportunity to explore the range beyond its packaging.

Together, these elements connected the brand’s history with the work that goes into its products. Tea selection and blending were central to the occasion, highlighting the attention to detail that Ahmad Tea identifies as a defining part of its approach.

Rather than looking only at the anniversary as a business milestone, the celebration also explored the standards and traditions the family hopes to carry forward.

A Fresh Chapter with Ahmad Tea Sencha

An anniversary naturally encourages reflection, but Ahmad Tea also used the occasion to look ahead with the launch of Sencha.

The new offering brings another expression of tea into the brand’s portfolio, reflecting its continued interest in the diverse traditions and preferences of tea drinkers.

For Ahmad Tea, the introduction sits alongside its established range rather than replacing the classics that have shaped its reputation. It represents an opportunity to broaden the selection while maintaining the focus on craftsmanship associated with the family business.

The launch also gave the Ruby Jubilee a forward-looking dimension. Beyond celebrating four decades of familiar blends and shared tea moments, the brand is continuing to explore what its next chapter might bring.

“Preparation Is Everything”

Another highlight of the anniversary year is Ahmad Tea’s partnership with Premier League footballer Antoine Semenyo, who has been appointed its Global Brand Ambassador.

The collaboration forms part of the brand’s “Preparation Is Everything” campaign, centred on preparation, discipline and consistency.

The campaign draws a parallel between Semenyo’s approach to football and Ahmad Tea’s approach to tea making. Its message is that the finished result depends on the work that comes before it—whether that involves preparing for a match or paying attention to the selection and blending of tea.

It is a theme that connects the new partnership with the company’s founding philosophy: quality comes from care throughout the process.

British Roots, a Global Presence

From its origins in Southampton, Ahmad Tea has expanded to more than 80 markets worldwide, while retaining its family ownership.

The company continues to identify quality, integrity, responsible sourcing and innovation as priorities. Its recognitions include the King’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development, alongside numerous Great Taste Awards.

As Ahmad Tea enters its next decade, the Malaysian celebration brings its past and future into the same conversation. The heritage displays honour the family’s beginnings, the Sencha launch introduces something new, and the global campaign offers a fresh way to communicate its longstanding focus on preparation.

Forty years on, the brand’s guiding idea remains a personal one: create tea that the family would be proud to serve in its own home.

The New Hyundai ‘WEhicle’ STARGAZER Officially Launched in Malaysia, Starting from RM99,800

2026-09-22T14:40:49.237+08:00

Hyundai Motor Malaysia (HMY) today officially launched the new STARGAZER, an MPV built around the realities of modern family life – from everyday routines to the journeys that bring everyone together.

Positioned as ‘The WEhicle’, STARGAZER brings together Hyundai’s distinctive design and smart technology with flexible space, comprehensive safety, and thoughtful convenience. Built for the many roles a family car must play, it offers a more considered take on the modern MPV – practical where it matters, while still delivering the comfort, style, and technology expected from the global automotive maker.

“The New STARGAZER is not just another MPV entering the market. We call it the ‘WEhicle’. It was engineered around what modern families value most – smart space, accessible premium comfort, and uncompromisedsafety. The STARGAZER was thoughtfully crafted to keep passengers comfortable and connected, while making everyday driving effortless for the person behind the wheel,” said Ms. Jahabarnisa Haja Mohideen, Managing Director of Hyundai Motor Malaysia.

The WEhicle: Designed Around Life Together

A family car is rarely just about the people it carries. It is there for the morning school run, the pick-ups after a long day, bringing parents where they need to go, or simply making room when one more person comes along. These everyday routines and responsibilities are often where families show up for one another, and that is the thinking behind ‘The WEhicle’ – a vehicle designed around the way family life really happens.

Rather than focusing on space alone, its cabin has been thought around how families use it, with flexible seating, useful storage, and convenience features that help the vehicle adapt throughout the journey.

Features such as the cargo floor box with lid, seat-back table, and multiple USB ports give everyday essentials a proper place; while the seating layout allows families to carry more people without compromising comfort.

On the STARGAZER X, a floating centre console with detachable tray adds another layer of flexibility and convenience to the cabin.

Advanced Safety and Smart Comfort for Every Drive

The new STARGAZER is also designed to make every drive feel more assured, combining advanced safety technologies with the comfort and convenience features families rely on every day.

At the core is Hyundai SmartSense, Hyundai’s suite of advanced driver assistance technologies designed to support greater awareness and confidence behind the wheel. Depending on variant, this includes ADAS 2.0 features such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Blind-Spot

Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Lane Following Assist – helping drivers navigate both busy urban traffic and longer highway journeys with greater ease.

The STARGAZER Prime also comes equipped with six airbags, adding another layer of occupant protection for greater peace of mind on the road.

That same focus on making the drive easier carries through to the cabin with roof-mounted rear air- conditioning vents. Selected variants feature dual 10.25-inch displays, alongside available features including wireless charging and Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold. Together, they create a more intuitive and comfortable environment for both driver and passengers, whether it is a short daily commute or a longer journey with the family.

A New Look for the Modern MPV

Breaking away from conventional MPV design, the STARGAZER introduces a more futuristic and expressive character aimed at a new generation of family car buyers.

The STARGAZER X takes this further with SUV-inspired styling, including sporty front and rear bumpers, sporty rear spoiler, black Hyundai emblems, black gloss alloy wheels, and a six-person captain seat layout for greater space and premium comfort for the family.

Three STARGAZER Variants for Different Family Needs

Making its official Malaysian debut today, the new STARGAZER line-up has been developed around different family needs, from smart everyday essentials to a more connected and premium experience:

• STARGAZER Style: At RM99, 800, the STARGAZER Style starts the range with a seven-seat 2+3+2

layout, LED headlamps with H-signature daytime running lights, an 8-inch multimedia player with a

4.2-inch TFT LCD Meter Colour Cluster and 16-inch alloy wheels.

• STARGAZER Prime: Priced at RM109, 800, the STARGAZER Prime steps up the experience with dual

10.25-inch displays, Hyundai SmartSense advanced driver assistance technologies (ADAS 2.0) and six airbags.

• STARGAZER X: Launched with a price of RM121, 800, the STARGAZER X brings a more distinctive SUV-inspired character to the range, together with a 2+2+2 captain-chair configuration, full leatherette seats, and Shift-By-Wire transmission control.

More Value Today, Greater Confidence Tomorrow

In addition, HMY is offering an Early Bird Value Package at RM4,600*, available for purchase during the launch period. The package, inclusive of the RM88 booking fee, offers 8 times or 4 years of free after-sales service. It also comes with a RM1,000 All-Star Reward programme — existing Hyundai owners will receive RM1,000 additional rebate when purchasing a new Hyundai STARGAZER.

Moreover, new STARGAZER owners will be supported with an 8-year / 160,000km myHyundaiCare warranty programme*. Further reinforcing its commitment to long-term ownership value, Hyundai is introducing the STARGAZER Resale Value Protection (RVP) Programme*, a pioneering initiative that is currently unmatched in its segment. Designed to provide greater purchase confidence, the programme guarantees a predetermined resale value when customers upgrade to a new Hyundai vehicle, helping protect their investment while making future ownership transitions more seamless and rewarding.

Customers can choose when to upgrade their car:

• 70% in the third year with up to 60,000km mileage

• 60% in the fourth year with up to 80,000km mileage

• 50% in the fifth year with up to 100,000km mileage

Hyundai invites customers and their families to visit dealerships nationwide from 26-27 September to experience the new STARGAZER. They can take the ‘WEhicle’ for a test drive and enjoy a weekend of fun- filled activities for all.

Midea Partners with 99 Speed Mart to Make Quality Home Appliances More Accessible Across Malaysia

2026-07-29T17:24:39.867+08:00

Midea, a global leader in smart home appliances, is expanding its retail footprint in Malaysia through a strategic partnership with 99 Speed Mart Sdn Bhd (“99 Speed Mart”), the country's largest mini market chain, making its latest home appliances more accessible to consumers nationwide. The collaboration was formalised with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Midea and 99 Speed Mart, marking another milestone in the brand's long-term growth strategy for Malaysia.

Representing Midea at the MoU signing ceremony was Mark Tam, Managing Director of Midea Malaysia with Zeal Jiang, President of the Asia Pacific (APAC) Region for Midea Group acting as witness, while 99 Speed Mart was represented by Mr Yong Eng Kwang, Chief Operating Officer and Mr Lee Thiam Wah, Executive Director and CEO acting as witness. The partnership follows Midea's expansion of its dedicated retail network with the launch of 18 Midea Brand Stores nationwide last year. Together, these channels strengthen the brand's market presence and give more Malaysians convenient access to Midea's growing range of home appliances.

“For consumers, the expanded retail network means easier access to Midea's latest technologies, particularly home appliances such as blenders, electric kettles, rice cookers, fans, toasters and toaster ovens, vacuums and stoves,” said Mark Tam, Managing Director of Midea Malaysia. “By partnering with 99 Speed Mart, Midea gains access to one of Malaysia's most extensive retail networks, enabling the brand to reach more neighbourhoods and serve consumers where they live and shop in line with 99 Speed Mart’s tagline ‘Near n’ Save’. The move complements Midea's existing brand stores and authorised dealer network, creating more touchpoints for customers to discover, experience and purchase its products.”

"This partnership with Midea marks an important milestone for 99 Speed Mart as we expand beyond our traditional product offerings to bring trusted home appliance solutions to customers across Malaysia,” the mini market chain retailer’s founder and CEO Lee Thiam Wah said. “As the country's largest mini market chain, we are always looking for ways to better serve the everyday needs of Malaysians, and this collaboration allows us to offer greater convenience by making quality home appliances more accessible through our nationwide network.”

The collaboration also supports Midea's broader growth ambitions in the region. At its Asia Pacific Dealer Conference in Bali late last year, the company unveiled its Power of One vision, a strategy that brings together its product innovation, retail expansion and customer experience under a unified growth agenda. Expanding its retail presence in Malaysia is a key step towards achieving the sales targets outlined under that vision.

This partnership reflects Midea's continued investment in Malaysia and its commitment to making innovative, energy-efficient home appliances more widely available. As consumer demand grows for products that are smarter, more sustainable and better suited to modern living, Midea is strengthening its ability to meet those expectations through a broader and more accessible retail presence.

Starting August 2026, customers at 99 Speed Mart outlets nationwide will be able to purchase a selection of Midea’s small home appliances.

Samsung Brings Galaxy Ecosystem Into Everyday Eyewear

2026-07-23T13:31:15.304+08:00

The smartphone era forced humanity into a persistent downward gaze, tethering personal productivity to glass screens held in the palm. At Galaxy Unpacked in London, Samsung Electronics, alongside Google and Qualcomm, formally signaled the next major structural shift in mobile computing. By introducing its Intelligent Eyewear ecosystem—engineered in direct partnership with global eyewear innovators Gentle Monster and Warby Parker—Samsung is attempting to transition artificial intelligence from a device you consult into an ambient layer that passively interprets the physical world alongside you.

The Architectural Blueprint: Android XR and Micro-Hardware Integration

While the concept of camera-equipped glasses is not new, Samsung’s approach differentiates itself through deep platform-level integration and optimized silicon efficiency. Operating on the newly minted Android XR platform, the Intelligent Eyewear acts as a display-less, audio-first extension of the Galaxy ecosystem.

Underneath the ultra-slim frames sits Qualcomm’s specialized Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 Platform. This silicon architecture handles complex on-device spatial processing, audio beamforming, low-latency wireless connectivity, and active thermal dispersion without requiring a bulky chassis or external cooling fans.

Despite weighing comparable to traditional prescription frames, the internal hardware houses an integrated camera sensor designed to act as a visual input engine for Google Gemini. Powering the system is a high-density battery module delivering up to nine hours of continuous operation on a single charge. The companion charging case extends total field deployment by providing up to seven additional full battery cycles.

Agentic AI and Visual Context Tracking

The operational core of the eyewear revolves around agentic, context-aware intelligence. Rather than waiting for explicit user prompts via a screen, the onboard Gemini assistant utilizes the built-in camera to continuously analyze what the wearer is observing in real time.

This visual awareness unlocks several key functional workflows:

Contextual Capture and Organization: During live meetings, lectures, or brainstorming sessions, the eyewear can instantly photograph physical whiteboards or documents upon command, parse the text, and automatically structure organized summary notes inside Samsung Notes for subsequent review.
Spatial Navigation and Sightseeing: The platform bridges location data with visual input to provide real-time audio navigation, location-based point-of-interest overviews, and contextual landmark guidance.
Live Translation and Communication: The system supports real-time multi-language voice translation, letting wearers hear translated audio directly while viewing foreign text or conversing across language barriers.
Point-of-View Visual Sharing: Wearers can stream their exact line of sight directly into video calls, providing hands-free technical support, remote collaboration, or real-time first-person documentation.

Overcoming the Wearable Friction Point: The Eyewear Collaboration

Historically, the primary point of failure for smart eyewear has rarely been the technology itself; it has been aesthetics, weight distribution, and social wearability. Consumer electronics companies routinely struggle to manufacture facial hardware that people actually want to wear in public settings.

Samsung solved this ergonomic challenge by delegating exterior geometry and frame ergonomics directly to established eyewear powerhouses. Throughout the joint development process, engineering teams worked with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to refine vital anatomical touchpoints across the ears and forehead, creating a balanced weight distribution suitable for all-day wear.

At launch, the partnership introduces two distinct design philosophies:

The Gentle Monster Edition: Tailored for fashion-forward environments, featuring a slim black frame characterized by a structured, straight upper rim paired with softly rounded lower edges.
The Warby Parker Edition: Tailored for versatile daily use, featuring a warm, rich brown hue shaped around a subtly upswept brow line.

By decoupling hardware performance from generic tech styling, Samsung, Google, and their eyewear partners are building a bridge between high-fashion identity and ambient spatial computing.

One Device, Endless Stories. The Galaxy S26 Camera Revolution.

2026-07-14T01:50:41.835+08:00

Every day is made up of small, fleeting moments that disappear just as quickly as they happen. The Galaxy S26 Series is built for exactly that: to capture life as it unfolds, effortlessly, intelligently, and beautifully, powered by Galaxy AI.

Here are three stories. One device. Endless ways of seeing.

The Night That Didn't Wait

It's late. A city skyline glows softly in the background, everything bathed in the warm hues of the city after dark.

Then the question comes.

"Hey babe, can you take a photo of me?"

The poor man freezes. This isn't just a request — it's an assignment. He raises his phone with quiet determination, hoping for the best.

Thankfully, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is ready.

With an upgraded 200MP Wide camera featuring a 47% brighter F1.4 aperture, alongside a 50MP Telephoto camera with an F2.9 aperture that's 37% brighter , the new Nightography system captures remarkably clear, detailed images even in challenging low-light conditions. Advanced noise reduction preserves natural skin tones while keeping the ambience of the city intact .

She doesn't need a retake. The moment already looks like memory; warm, sharp, and alive.

And just like that… he passes the test.

The Reel That Felt Like a Memory

A solo walk through the city. Phone in hand, recording a spontaneous video. Footsteps on pavement, distant laughter, passing lights — everything unfolding naturally, without choreography.

With Super Steady Video and the new Horizontal Lock feature, the Galaxy S26 Ultra keeps every frame level, even when you're constantly on the move. Powered by expanded optical angles together with gyro and acceleration sensors that recognize the direction of gravity, the camera delivers smooth, shake-free footage, even if you rotate the phone a full 360 degrees.

Whether you're exploring a bustling city or chasing your next adventure, every clip feels effortlessly cinematic.

Later, when it plays back, it doesn't feel like a recording.

It feels like returning.

The Shot That Adjusted Itself

A quick portrait. No time for camera settings. No time for perfect lighting. Just a moment that won't wait.

The shutter taps, and Galaxy AI quietly gets to work.

Using Photo Assist , users can simply describe the edits they want — from removing distractions and changing backgrounds to refining lighting and details without complicated editing tools. Need to clean up the scene or transform it into something more creative? Creative Studio lets you generate stickers, personalized visuals, invitations, wallpapers and more from a simple prompt or sketch, all within the same seamless experience.

The result doesn't feel overly edited. It simply feels right.

No second guess. No retake. Just a photo that understands what you wanted from the very beginning.

Images for illustration purposes only.

One Device, Endless Stories

Different places. Different people. Different emotions.

But one device quietly adapting, intelligently enhancing, and never interrupting the moment.

The Galaxy S26 series doesn’t ask users to be better photographers. It helps them stay present while it handles the complexity of capturing life as it happens.

Because in the end, it’s not about taking the perfect shot.

It’s about never missing the story in the first place.

Marina Bay Sands marks 12 years of collective giving with Sands for Singapore Charity Festival 2026

2026-07-14T00:35:14.070+08:00

Marina Bay Sands will be dedicating the month of August to rally its Team Members, charity partners and the wider public in support of causes closest to home, as the Sands for Singapore Charity Festival returns for its 12th edition.

Since its inception in 2013, the Festival has helped raise more than $45 million for social causes in Singapore, supporting beneficiaries including low-income families, youths, seniors, and persons with disabilities.

A flagship initiative under Sands Cares, Marina Bay Sands’ community engagement programme, the Festival has evolved beyond fundraising into a platform for collective giving, transforming everyday experiences into opportunities for guests to give back in meaningful ways.

From 28 to 30 August, Sands for Singapore Charity Festival will transform Event Plaza into a vibrant waterfront celebration of food, music and community impact. The three-night programme will include fundraising experiences, community booths and complimentary entertainment designed to encourage the public to give back in accessible and engaging ways.

The opening night on 28 August will feature Singaporean artist RRILEY who first debuted as a founding member of local pop quartet The Sam Willows. Guests can also enjoy The Good Bites Market, a curation of five gourmet pop-up experiences that will channel proceeds to support multi-service, non-profit organisation, AWWA. The proceeds will support the Enabled Living @ Bedok programme, a pilot initiative to empower individuals with disabilities in independent living. At Impact Match, the public can create digital school packs containing essential school supplies. Each successful digital school pack will be matched by Marina Bay Sands for students at NorthLight School to support their holistic development and provide financial assistance to those in need.

Beyond the Event Plaza weekend, the Festival will extend opportunities for public participation through Dine for Good, a month-long campaign that will dedicate proceeds from selected dishes to support AWWA’s Enabled Living @ Bedok programme. To commemorate the 12th Festival, 12 signature and celebrity chef restaurants at Marina Bay Sands have each selected a hallmark dish for this campaign to support communities in need.

Where Culture Meets Innovation: Galaxy Unpacked’s Journey Through Global Cities

AI Doesn’t Need to Outthink You. It Needs to Understand You - TM Roh, CEO, President, Samsung Electronics

2026-07-08T11:14:45.842+08:00

History repeats a pattern. The breakthroughs that change everything are rarely the most powerful inventions. They are the moments those inventions reach into daily life. Electricity changed society not with power plants, but when a switch appeared in homes. The internet became ours through the browser. The phone became powerful through the ecosystem of apps that grew on top of it.

AI will be no different.

AI is getting smarter faster, and this will continue. But to change how people live, it must answer: where, how and into whose hands does this intelligence reach? This will define AI’s next chapter.

AI no longer merely answers. It is entering an agentic age, taking action on our behalf while the person carries the final decision. But to act for someone, it must first know them.

That is why it matters where AI meets people. The entry points are where AI understands a person and builds trust. The best AI experiences will come from the devices that know the user best.

This is what Samsung has spent years building. The phone is closest to us, with us daily. The tablet is where we create and learn. The watch reads signals like sleep and heart rate. The TV and connected home appliances add context from where we live. And new form factors, from foldables to intelligent eyewear, expand where AI meets us. Together, a fuller picture of a person’s needs forms.

These entry points are powerful together. Signals from across devices become timely assistance: sleep tracked by your watch shapes tomorrow’s schedule, with information always available. AI at its best works quietly in the background, bringing these moments into a cohesive experience. That is why we have spent years building an ecosystem not just to reach, but to connect more moments.

Samsung does not do this alone. The platforms that changed the world were the most open. The web was. So were mobile operating systems. With SmartThings, we brought devices, services and partners into one connected experience, shaping industry open standards. Openness lets the best ideas reach people faster. And we don’t simply layer intelligence on top, but design how AI works at the center so it serves each person in context.

But openness alone is not the goal. The harder task is turning intelligence into something personal and trustworthy. The best intelligence in the world should reach people through their everyday devices. But what makes it personal is understanding the user and keeping that understanding safe. That is our responsibility.

As AI becomes more personal and agentic, trust becomes the foundation. People need to know what AI is doing for them and remain in control.

This is why trust isn’t added at the end. Samsung Knox protects each Galaxy device and now the connections between them. As intelligence moves across devices, protecting what flows between them is crucial. The most personal data stays on the device so people can understand how AI is working, staying in control.

That same understanding shapes the devices we build. The more personal and capable AI becomes, the more form matters. As AI helps us with more at once, a screen that flexes and folds expands what is possible. This is what makes foldables special: they fold into your hand, opening a larger stage. On this journey, Samsung has continued to make foldables thinner, lighter, stronger and more immersive.

AI is also essential in health. How we sleep, recover and look after ourselves—daily choices add up. A device close to us, like a watch, tracks these signals ensuring a better day.

The upcoming Galaxy Unpacked is where we will show what’s next in bringing all this together: more personal, natural AI experiences on a foundation more partners can build on. The question that opens the next era is not who has the smartest AI, but who understands people best, and turns that understanding into experiences they can trust.

We intend to take this path with openness and responsibility, beginning with the device already in your hand. We open this next chapter together at Galaxy Unpacked.

Malaysia's Team Vertice wins #PlayGalaxy Cup 2026 Southeast Asia Qualifiers

2026-06-22T14:39:40.378+08:00

Malaysia's esports scene has achieved another significant milestone as Team Vertice emerged victorious at the Samsung #PlayGalaxy Cup Southeast Asia Regional Qualifiers on 13 June 2026. The Malaysian team of four were crowned regional champions and are slated to compete at the #PlayGalaxy Cup World Finals to be held during Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany.

The #PlayGalaxy Cup is a global tournament league highlighting the gaming performance of Galaxy devices. In 2026, the tournament expands into a yearlong global esports league in collaboration with PUBG Mobile — shifting from standalone events to a full-season format.

Team Vertice showcased exceptional skill, teamwork and consistency throughout the competition, overcoming some of Southeast Asia's strongest PUBG Mobile teams from Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. Teams were equipped with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is built to deliver 39% more powerful neural processing unit (NPU) and a 19% faster central processing unit (CPU), to keep up with high-action gaming performance.

With their championship victory, Team Vertice will represent Southeast Asia on the global stage at the #PlayGalaxy Cup World Finals. They will also be joined by Team Vonzy from Indonesia, who came in second at the regional qualifiers. Both teams will compete against #PlayGalaxy Cup champions from other regions at Gamescom 2026, one of the largest gaming and interactive entertainment events in the world.

Team Vertice was led by #TeamGalaxy influencer, Muhammad Nur Ihsan bin Ismail, also known as San Gaming in the local esports scene. He credited his teammates Dep, ICAA and Kluq for their trust in him and each other throughout each match.

“We always moved forward to strategize for the next game, even if we made a mistake,” Ihsan said. “I'm super happy right now because I've been dreaming of going to Germany for a long time, and it's an honour to bring the Malaysian flag to the world stage.”

The victory adds another achievement to an impressive year for Ihsan. Earlier in February 2026, San was selected to compete in a global PUBG Mobile open tournament in San Francisco, where he joined a four-player squad comprising of #TeamGalaxy representatives from around the world. The team claimed the championship title, giving San valuable experience competing alongside elite global talent.

“We’re going to study up on our future opponents,” Ihsan added, on Team Vertice’s immediate strategy for the finals at Gamescom. “We’ll be training every day for the finals.”

Team Vertice’s victory underscores the growing influence of Southeast Asian esports and highlights opportunities available to up-and-coming players through platforms such as TeamGalaxy, which continue to nurture talent and connect local gamers with global competitive arenas.

"This is a proud moment not only for Malaysia, but for the growing gaming community across the region," said Matthew Ng, Head of Mobile Experience, Samsung Malaysia Electronics. "As mobile gaming continues to evolve, devices like the Galaxy S26 Ultra are helping unlock new possibilities for competitive play through powerful performance, advanced graphics capabilities and responsive gameplay experiences. We believe technology can be a catalyst for the next generation of esports talent, empowering players to train, compete and connect with the global gaming community wherever they are."

Samsung co-developed a custom application processor (AP) for Galaxy S26 Ultra, featuring a 39% more powerful neural processing unit (NPU) and a 19% faster central processing unit (CPU).

Galaxy S26 Ultra, powered by Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5, delivers enhanced graphics and gaming performance. A redesigned thermal architecture and large vapor chamber improves heat management for sustained performance. Optimized power efficiency extends battery life, while faster charging reduces downtime.

Samsung Strengthens Nation-Building Efforts Through AI-Powered Classrooms for Malaysian Youths

2026-06-15T14:34:08.995+08:00

As Malaysia accelerates toward a digital-first future, Samsung Malaysia Electronics is reaffirming its contribution to national development through education by taking the next step with the introduction of AI-Powered Classroom by Samsung programme in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.

Far beyond a standalone technology initiative, the classrooms reflect the company’s broader vision of democratising AI and digital access for all Malaysians, while strengthening the country’s readiness for an increasingly AI-driven future. Through pilot implementations at SMK Nilai Impian in Negeri Sembilan and SMKA Naim Lil Banat in Kelantan that are supported by SNS Network (M) Sdn Bhd, Samsung is transforming traditional classrooms into fully integrated AI-powered learning environments designed to encourage deeper engagement, collaborative learning and digital literacy among students.

What makes the AI-Powered Classroom especially meaningful is its truly holistic learning ecosystem. The classrooms are equipped not only with Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ devices for students, but also smartboards for teachers, tablet charging stations, air-conditioning systems and the supporting infrastructure necessary to create a comfortable and connected digital learning environment. The initiative represents a complete end-to-end classroom ecosystem of interconnected technologies rather than simply the provision of devices.

To support daily teaching and learning processes in the classrooms, Sasbadi Holdings Berhad, a leading education solutions provider in Malaysia, was invited by the Ministry of Education to be the Strategic Content Partner for the initiative. Sasbadi deployed its flagship AI-powered digital learning platform, Ace-it, which features comprehensive curriculum-aligned notes, exercises, interactive tools, and an AI-assistant that collectively lessen teachers’ workload and heighten classroom engagement. The Ace-it platform runs seamlessly on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ tablets and smartboards, creating an intuitive, fully connected ecosystem for both educators and students.

The programme also highlights Samsung’s unique strengths as a technology leader. Beyond hardware innovation, Samsung’s ecosystem enables seamless connectivity across devices and platforms, creating a more flexible and intuitive learning experience for both students and educators. Samsung’s commitment to six years of operating system and security updates also ensures that devices remain secure, relevant and usable for significantly longer periods, helping schools maximise long-term value while reducing concerns around device longevity and maintenance.

This latest initiative builds upon Samsung’s proven track record in supporting Malaysia’s digital education agenda. In 2022, Samsung played a key role in an education initiative by supplying Galaxy Tab A8 LTE devices to eligible university students from the B40 income group. It is estimated that approximately 350,000 to 400,000 students nationwide would benefit from the initiative.

“As an educator with more than 20 years of teaching experience, I have always believed that science should be hands-on, minds-on and hearts-on. One of the biggest challenges in teaching science is helping students truly visualise complex concepts and systems, something that traditional textbooks alone cannot always achieve. Through the AI-Powered Classroom and the Galaxy Tab, students are now able to experience lessons in a far more interactive and engaging way. More importantly, it has made learning more enjoyable for students by transforming what was once a purely textbook-based experience into something immersive, dynamic and meaningful,” said Farah Faizura Binti Ahmad Rostam, teacher at SMK Nilai Impian.

“As an educator with eight years of classroom experience, I’ve seen firsthand how the transition towards digitalisation is reshaping the learning experience in meaningful ways. The Galaxy Tab have been incredibly helpful in designing more engaging questions and delivering interactive lessons that encourage stronger two-way communication in the classroom, making students more involved and responsive during discussions. Having access to a wide range of digital tools also allows us to teach subjects in a more visual, immersive and comprehensive way, helping students better understand complex concepts, while the seamless ecosystem connectivity, especially with the digital whiteboard, creates a smoother and more effective teaching experience overall.” said Selvina A/P Sandiawo, teacher at SMK Nilai Impian

Since being introduced to these two schools, the AI-Powered Classroom has benefitted the education journey of many students, enhancing their understanding of their syllabuses through vital visual learning with the power of AI.

“I enjoy learning science subjects in the AI-Powered Classroom because AI helps make complex topics easier to understand and more engaging during lessons. Using the Galaxy Tab also makes it much easier to follow along in class, while reducing the need to carry heavy textbooks every day. With AI, we are able to explore answers on our own and better understand difficult concepts through personalised explanations that support the way we learn. It has also made note-taking more convenient and efficient, helping us stay more focused during class,” said Nurhani Sumayyah Binti Azmal, Form 3 student at SMK Nilai Impian.

“With the Galaxy Tab, lessons have become much more fun, engaging and interactive, making it easier for us to stay focused and understand what we are learning in class. It has also helped reduce the number of heavy textbooks we need to carry every day, making learning more convenient and accessible. The virtual and interactive features on the Tab are especially helpful for subjects like Mathematics and Science, as they allow us to better visualise complex concepts and understand topics that would normally feel difficult or confusing when learning through textbooks alone.” said Avinesh A/L Ramalingam, Form 3 student at SMK Nilai Impian.

“As Malaysia prepares for the future of AI and digital transformation, empowering students with access to technology and digital learning opportunities is essential in building a resilient and competitive nation,” said Charles Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics. “Samsung has continuously supported Malaysia’s education journey since 2022, from enabling access to devices through PerantiSiswa to now building fully integrated AI-Powered Classroom for students and educators. Through these efforts, we hope to inspire the next generation of Malaysians to learn, create and innovate with confidence.”

By investing consistently in education, infrastructure and long-term digital accessibility, Samsung continues to play an active role in helping shape a more inclusive, future-ready and innovation-driven Malaysia for generations to come.

Scam Calls Getting Out of Hand? The Galaxy S26 Now Answers Them So You Don’t Have To

2026-06-15T14:06:14.587+08:00

We’ve all been there.

You’re makan-ing peacefully, halfway through your nasi lemak, then suddenly your phone rings.

Unknown number.

You answer anyway because mana tahu it’s important.

Next thing you know:

“Hello sir, your parcel ada issue.”

“Your bank account has been suspended.”

“Congratulations, you’ve won—”

Straight away, red flag.

With scam calls and spam calls becoming more common in Malaysia, Samsung is introducing a feature on the Galaxy S26 Series that could genuinely save users a lot of headache, Call Screening .

And honestly? For Malaysians constantly kena spam by fake bank officers, insurance agents, “investment experts” and random robocalls, this one actually feels useful.

Instead of you awkwardly picking up every unknown number, the Galaxy S26 can now screen calls on your behalf using Galaxy AI.

Here’s how it works:

When an unknown number calls, users can activate Call Screening. The phone then answers automatically with an AI voice assistant that politely asks the caller who they are and why they’re calling. While the caller speaks, the Galaxy S26 generates a live transcript on-screen in real time.

From there, users can decide whether to:

• Answer the call

• Reject it immediately

• Or even type replies for the AI voice to read aloud

So instead of panic-answering every random number from “+60 something something,” users can now see exactly what the caller wants before even speaking. Basically, it’s like having a personal bodyguard for your calls

For Malaysians, scam calls aren’t just annoying anymore, they’re becoming genuinely dangerous.

From fake parcel delivery scams to impersonation calls pretending to be banks, government agencies or even police officers, many Malaysians are becoming more cautious about answering unknown numbers altogether. That’s where Call Screening could become especially useful.

Imagine this:

You’re in a meeting, driving, or just tired after work. Your phone rings from an unknown number.

Instead of answering directly, Galaxy AI picks up and asks:

“Please state your name and reason for calling.”

If the caller starts sounding suspicious or dodgy, users can simply reject the call without engaging further.

No awkward conversation.

No pressure.

No wasting time entertaining scammers.

What makes the feature feel practical is how naturally it fits into daily Malaysian life.

Whether you’re:

• Avoiding spam calls during work

• Screening unknown numbers late at night

• Checking if a delivery rider is actually legit

• Or trying not to get scammed by fake “bank officers”

The feature acts as an extra layer of protection before users even say hello.

Users can also send typed responses that Galaxy AI reads aloud during the call.

So if you’re busy, you can simply type:

“I’ll call you back later.”

The AI assistant says it for you automatically.

Quite useful especially for those moments where you don’t want to talk but also don’t want to seem rude.

AI features on smartphones sometimes feel a bit syok sendiri, but this one solves an actual problem many Malaysians face almost daily. And in today’s world, where every unknown call already feels a bit sus, that extra peace of mind might actually matter quite a lot.

Your Life, Your Soundtrack with the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Series

2026-06-10T00:28:13.305+08:00

These days, life can feel non-stop. One minute we’re stuck in traffic heading to work, next thing replying emails while queuing for coffee, then suddenly it’s already midnight and we’re doomscrolling in bed wondering where the whole day went. In all that chaos, music has quietly become the thing that helps many of us reset, focus and breathe for a while.

That’s where devices like the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 and Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro fit naturally into everyday life. They’re not just earbuds anymore, they become part of our daily rhythm, whether it’s during the morning commute, gym sessions, late-night walks, café work sessions or long balik kampung drives.

What makes the experience feel different is how seamlessly the earbuds blend into our lifestyle. With Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), even noisy environments suddenly feel more manageable. The chaos of LRT crowds, office chatter, noisy mamak tables or traffic outside can fade into the background, giving us a small personal space no matter where we are.

And honestly, that quiet space matters more than we realise.

Sometimes we just need a moment to focus before an important presentation. Sometimes we need music blasting during workouts to push through one more set. Other times, it’s simply putting on our earbuds after a long day and letting our favourite playlist drown out the stress for a while. The Galaxy Buds4 series turns these small everyday moments into something more immersive and personal.

The audio experience itself also adapts naturally to how we live. Whether we’re taking calls while multitasking, switching between devices, listening to podcasts while driving, or vibing to music during solo café time, the earbuds stay effortlessly integrated into the flow of the day. Nothing feels complicated or disruptive, it just works.

For users who want a more premium audio experience, the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro pushes things even further with richer sound clarity and enhanced ANC performance, making everything from bass-heavy workout playlists to softer late-night tracks feel more immersive. It’s the kind of experience where the technology quietly disappears, and all that’s left is the music, the mood and the moment itself.

At the end of the day, audio has become deeply personal. The songs we repeat during stressful weeks, the playlists we use to lock in at work, the comfort shows we listen to before sleeping, or the music we blast during road trips all become part of our everyday story.

And in a world that constantly demands our attention, sometimes putting on the right pair of earbuds, turning on noise cancelling, and disappearing into our own soundtrack for a while is exactly the reset we need.

From E-Wallets to Tap-to-Pay: Why Malaysians Need Stronger Smartphone Security Than Ever

2026-06-06T00:04:51.863+08:00

Most Malaysians use NFC every day without even realising it.

Whether you're tapping your debit card at a mamak, using Samsung Wallet to pay for groceries, scanning into your office building, or passing through public transport gates, chances are you're relying on Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.

NFC is what makes these quick "tap-and-go" experiences possible. It allows two devices placed close together to exchange information almost instantly, making payments and access more convenient than ever.

But as digital payments become increasingly common, scammers are finding new ways to exploit them.

Recent warnings from authorities around the world have highlighted a worrying trend: fraudsters are combining social engineering scams with NFC technology to steal money and sensitive personal information from unsuspecting victims.

And for Malaysians, this should sound familiar.

We have all heard stories of scammers posing as bank officers, parcel delivery companies, insurance representatives, government agencies, or customer service agents. Their goal is often the same: create panic, establish trust, and convince victims to take actions they normally wouldn't.

The latest NFC scams follow a similar playbook.

A scammer may call claiming that you are entitled to a refund, compensation payment, or account reimbursement. They then persuade you to install an application or grant remote access to your smartphone under the guise of helping process the refund.

Once the scammer gains access, they may instruct you to switch on NFC and place your bank card near your phone. While it may seem harmless, this can allow sensitive card information to be captured and used for unauthorised transactions.

In many cases, victims do not realise what has happened until money has already left their accounts.

But the financial loss is often only the beginning.

Because these scams usually involve malicious apps and remote access software, criminals may also gain access to SMS messages, contacts, passwords, banking verification codes and other personal information. In effect, the smartphone itself becomes the target.

The Smartphone Has Become the New Front Door

Today's smartphone contains far more sensitive information than the average wallet.

It holds banking apps, digital payment services, identity documents, work emails, photos, passwords and access to countless online accounts.

That is why smartphone security has become just as important as locking the front door of your home.

This is where Samsung Knox offers an important advantage.

Unlike traditional smartphone security solutions that rely primarily on software, Samsung Knox is built directly into Galaxy devices from the hardware level up. It creates multiple layers of protection that work together to help defend against threats before they can cause damage.

Think of it as the difference between having a single lock on your front door and having a security gate, alarm system, CCTV cameras and reinforced locks all working together.

Security That Starts Before You Even Open an App

One of the biggest misconceptions about scams is that they only become dangerous when money is transferred.

In reality, the threat often begins much earlier, when victims download suspicious applications or grant access to unknown parties.

Samsung Knox continuously monitors the device for signs of tampering or malicious activity. If harmful software attempts to compromise critical parts of the operating system, Knox helps detect and mitigate those threats.

More importantly, sensitive information such as passwords, PINs, biometric credentials and encryption keys are protected inside Samsung Knox Vault, a hardware-based security environment designed to keep critical data isolated from the rest of the device.

This means that even if scammers manage to trick a user into installing malicious software, accessing the most sensitive information remains significantly more difficult.

Peace of Mind in a Digital-First Malaysia

Malaysia is rapidly embracing cashless payments and digital services. From buying nasi lemak at a roadside stall to paying for parking, smartphone-based transactions have become part of everyday life.

The convenience is undeniable.

But convenience should never come at the expense of security.

While users should always remain cautious of suspicious calls, unknown links and requests to install applications, choosing a smartphone with built-in security can provide an additional layer of protection against increasingly sophisticated scams.

The reality is that cybercriminals are constantly evolving their tactics. As they do, smartphone security can no longer be viewed as a nice-to-have feature.

It has become an essential part of everyday life.

In a world where our phones hold our finances, identities and personal information, Samsung Knox provides something increasingly valuable: confidence that the device in your pocket is working to protect you, even when scammers are working overtime to find new ways in.
