From cracking open a coconut to surviving muddy obstacles and an underwater endurance test, the HONOR X9e Pro faces four military-inspired challenges designed to demonstrate just how tough a smartphone can be. Most of us have experienced that heart-stopping moment when our smartphone slips out of our hands. For a split second, all we can do is hope the screen survives the impact. Add an unexpected downpour, a splash of water or a particularly unfortunate fall, and suddenly smartphone durability becomes a lot more important than we usually realise. But what happens when a smartphone is deliberately put through conditions far more demanding than everyday accidents? HONOR Malaysia decided to find out by putting the HONOR X9e Pro through four military-inspired challenges in its latest commercial series. Drawing inspiration from the discipline, endurance and resilience associated with military training, the campaign takes the device from jungle terrain and precision shooting scenario...

Life has taken Malaysian actor Taiyuddin Bakar on a journey he probably never imagined. Once recognised for his role in the action-comedy film Apa Celop Toqq… and his memorable catchphrase “Apa Celop Toq”, the 43-year-old now earns a living selling nasi berlauk alongside his wife. After years of navigating life's challenges and working to support his family, Taiyuddin is preparing for a very different journey, one that will take him to the Holy Land to perform umrah. The opportunity came through the Tabung Infak Umrah Surau Al-Barakah Menara Kembar Bank Rakyat, in collaboration with Ikhlas Com Travel Sdn Bhd ( ikhlas.com ). Taiyuddin has been selected as one of five recipients of an umrah pilgrimage under the initiative, with the news delivered to him in an unexpected way.

Ever had one of those days when you're craving a proper steak, but the thought of sitting down for a full steakhouse meal feels like too much effort? You want something rich, savoury and satisfying, preferably something you can enjoy casually or share with friends.

Its latest limited-time Cheese & Steak Pizza range combines smoky, grilled flavours with rich cheese sauce and hearty toppings. The launch also comes with an unusual appointment: Malaysian food content creator Adrian, better known as Mr POV, has been named the brand's Chief Cravings Officer.

When global companies decide where to make their next strategic investment, the conversation often starts with familiar considerations: the largest market, the lowest-cost location or the most established technology hub. But the criteria are changing. Artificial intelligence, digital transformation and growing geopolitical uncertainty are reshaping what businesses need from the places in which they invest. Increasingly, the question is not simply where operations can be located, but where companies can build the capabilities they will need to compete tomorrow. For Malaysia, that shift raises an important question. Why are more global companies looking at the country not merely as a market, but as a location for strategic regional and global operations? By Reto Sahli, Chief Digital and Information Officer, HAVI Global The Rules of Investment Have Changed For much of the past two decades, cost optimisation played a major role in investment decisions. Businesses pursued scale,...
