AIRASIA telah dinobatkan sebagai Syarikat Penerbangan Tambang Rendah Terbaik Dunia bagi tahun kelima berturut-turut di World Travel Awards (WTA) 2017. AirAsia mengungguli kategori tersebut setelah menerima undian tertinggi daripada para pemain industri profesional dari seluruh dunia, menewaskan Southwest Airlines, JetBlue, Ryanair, easyJet, Jetstar Airways, Norwegian Air, West Air, flydubai, Air Arabia, flynas, kulula, Mangga dan fastjet.
Syarikat penerbangan tambang rendah terbesar di Asia berdasarkan jumlah penumpang itu juga memenangi anugerah sulung bagi Kru Kabin Syarikat Penerbangan Tambah Rendah Terbaik Dunia, mengatasi 13 syarikat penerbangan yang lain. Kemenangan ini adalah susulan kejayaannya pada awal tahun ini setelah memenangi anugerah Kru Kabin Syarikat Penerbangan Tambang Rendah Terbaik Asia dan pada tahun 2015, apabila ia dinobatkan sebagai syarikat penerbangan tambang rendah pertama yang memenangi anugerah Kru Kabin Terbaik Asia, menumpaskan syarikat penerbangan perkhidmatan penuh seperti Singapore Airlines, Air Korea dan Cathay Pacific.
Ketua Komersial Kumpulan AirAsia, Siegtraund Teh dan kru kabin kanan, Rosita Sulaiman menerima anugerah tersebut pada majlis berprestij yang diadakan di JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay di Vietnam semalam. Turut hadir adalah Pengerusi Eksekutif AirAsia Berhad, Datuk Kamarudin Meranun; Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan AirAsia, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes; Pengarah Bebas Bukan Eksekutif AirAsia Berhad, Dato’ Fam Lee Ee dan rakan kongsi AirAsia Vietnam, Tran Trong Kien.
Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan AirAsia, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes berkata, “Saya amat
berbangga berdiri di sini pada hari ini untuk menerima anugerah Syarikat Penerbangan Tambang Rendah Terbaik Dunia buat kali kelima daripada WTA. Saya sering mengatakan bahawa kami adalah juara syarikat penerbangan tambang rendah sebenar, dan saya berbesar hati melihat para industri turut bersetuju. Kami akan berusaha untuk menjadi lebih baik dan meneruskan misi pendigitalan kami untuk lebih memahami keperluan para tetamu dan menjadikan pengalaman penerbangan lebih menyeronokkan, di samping menyediakan perkhidmatan bertaraf dunia dengan tambang terendah.”
Ketua Kru Kabin Kumpulan AirAsia Suhaila Hassan berkata, “Kejayaan syarikat penerbangan
bergantung kepada kakitangannya, dan kami mempunyai kakitangan yang terbaik. Dua tahun lalu, kami memenangi anugerah Kru Kabin Terbaik Asia oleh WTA, mengatasi syarikat penerbangan perkhidmatan penuh. Sejak itu, kami turut merangkul anugerah Perkhidmatan Dalam Penerbangan Terbaik Dunia pada tahun 2016, Kru Kabin Syarikat Penerbangan Tambang Rendah Terbaik Asia pada awal tahun ini dan kini, anugerah pertama WTA bagi Kru Kabin Syarikat Penerbangan Tambang Rendah Terbaik Dunia. Ini menunjukkan komitmen berterusan kami sebagai syarikat penerbangan tambang rendah terbaik dunia, dan kami berikrar untuk terus memberikan pengalaman penerbangan terbaik yang tidak dapat dilupakan kepada para tetamu kami.”

MAX Security: First ASUS smartphone with Face Unlock, supplemented by a rear fingerprint sensor for secure and easy unlocking in any situation
ASUS Malaysia today announced ZenFone Max Plus, the first model in the new ZenFone Max Series, the world’s only range of high-battery-capacity smartphones. ZenFone Max Plus is the first ASUS smartphone with a 5.7-inch full-view display in an amazingly compact body that’s no larger than many standard 5.2-inch smartphones.
With its expanded viewing area, compact size, dual rear cameras, convenient face and fingerprint recognition security, and a high-capacity 4130 mAh battery – hallmark of ZenFone Max Series – ZenFone Max Plus offers a class-leading combination of features designed to encompass all life’s adventures. ZenFone Max Plus has the stamina to go the distance, and lets photo-lovers see the bigger picture with a wider range of creative options, all in a stylish metal design that’s ergonomic and comfortable to hold.
The new ZenFone Max Series is now a dedicated range of high-capacity smartphones. Previous generations of individual ZenFone Max models have become the company’s best-selling smartphones, with ZenFone Max, ZenFone 3 Max, ZenFone 4 Max and ZenFone 4 Max Pro achieving a combined sales volume of around 5 million units. The new ZenFone Max Series will include variants with different display sizes and system-on-a-chip (SoC) processors, but the hallmark of the range will be high-capacity, long lasting batteries.
The HD 5.7-inch full-view display in ZenFone Max Plus has an ultrawide 18:9 aspect ratio and ultrathin bezels that give ZenFone Max Plus an 80% screen-to-body ratio. This allowed our engineers to craft an amazingly compact and ergonomic body that’s no larger than most standard 5.2-inch smartphones.
The greatly expanded viewing area makes viewing photos and watching widescreen videos incredibly immersive and when browsing the web there’s less need for scrolling. Multitasking is also easier, as two apps fit comfortably side-by-side on the screen.
The slim and elegant size, premium metal finish and 2.5D-curved front edges of ZenFone Max Plus make it exceptionally comfortable to hold, with significantly less bulk than a standard 5.7-inch phone. It’s available in three gorgeous colors to match user’s style.
The hallmark of the ZenFone Max Series is the huge battery capacity, designed for serious travelers and those who need maximum battery endurance. ZenFone Max Plus has a high-capacity, high-density 4130mAh battery that not only gives it incredible staying power, but also contributes to its unbelievably compact dimensions.
ZenFone Max Plus offers users up to 26 hours on standby, 26 hours of 3G talk time, up to 21 hours of web browsing on Wi-Fi, or up to 13 hours of video playback. Its massive capacity also allows it to be used as a handy power bank to charge other devices.
The battery system in ZenFone Max Plus features ASUS PowerMaster, a suite of intelligent power-management technologies that work in concert to optimize battery life, ensure safety and long-term performance, provide reverse-charging capability, and more.
Twelve safety checkpoints – including temperature monitoring and overvoltage protection – combined with automatic maintenance settings keep ZenFone Max Plus’s battery running optimally, providing a 2X-longer average lifespan compared to other smartphone batteries.
With ZenFone Max Plus, photo lovers can enjoy unrivaled creative possibilities. In addition to the front f/2.0 selfie camera, ZenFone Max Plus features an advanced dual rear-camera system designed to take mobile photography to new heights. Its 16MP PixelMaster main camera is equipped with a wide, f/2.0 aperture lens to capture clearer photos, and a phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) system that can accurately focus on the subject in just 0.03 seconds even if the subject is moving.
The secondary 120° wide-angle camera has a 200%-wider field of view than standard smartphone cameras, allowing more scenery or people to fit in the frame for dramatic landscape shots, better group photos, and a more convenient photography experience in confined indoor spaces.
ZenFone Max Plus is the first ZenFone, and one of the very few phones in its class to feature Face Unlock, which gives users a quick, secure and convenient alternative to the rear fingerprint sensor for unlocking the phone when wearing gloves or in inclement weather conditions. It is one of the few smartphones in its price range to have this capability!

Campaign aims to demystify general insurance and help Malaysians understand the importance of insurance protection.
AIG Malaysia launched #AIGJagaYou, a customer-centric nationwide campaign that is expected to reach out and appeal to the Malaysian community. The campaign exemplifies AIG’s commitment to of doing things differently, especially in demystifying general insurance among Malaysians and helping them understand the importance of insurance protection.
The word “jaga” is derived from Bahasa Malaysia, which simply means to take care of. #AIGJagaYou kicks off with a partnership with Community Policing Malaysia that strives to promote a safer community through close cooperation with the police. The non-profit organization consists of ordinary citizens, retired police officers and everyone who cares and who are concerned for the safety of society.
AIG Malaysia’s contribution of RM12,000 is expected to aid the organization’s efforts in policing activities, including collaborating with them on several of their future initiatives. This collaboration will be followed by a series of educational videos on #AIGJagaYou into the market, including a social media campaign to provide greater appeal to the AIG brand and reach out to customers with a more local look and feel.
AIG Malaysia’s Chief Executive Officer Antony Lee described the campaign as a game changer for the brand in Malaysia in reaching out and appealing to Malaysians through simple messaging and objectives.
“AIG is your Jaga who is always here for you. We want to be there for our customers and help them to live the life they want, by providing a fresh Malaysian perspective on insurance,” he added. The Jaga campaign was first conceived in August 2016 to provide a stronger proposition for AIG Travel Insurance in the market.
Besides creating top of the mind conversations about AIG Travel Insurance, it was also to drive conversions for travel insurance purchases online. Jaga was perceived as being always there for you wherever you are in the world, complementing AIG’s worldwide 24/7 Travel Assistance to address any uncertainties throughout your journey.
Back then, the video garnered 2 million video views on YouTube and Facebook. For more information of AIG’s products and services, visit www.aig.my
As the New Year approaches, Perodua is offering a free 50-point check as part of its Tweckbot programme to ensure that holiday-goers’ Perodua vehicles are in the best possible condition for long journeys.
THE Perodua Tweckbot is a mobile vehicle service team which inspects Perodua vehicles at selected locations during festive seasons. This is the fourth Perodua Tweckbot programme held this year, with close to 5,000 vehicles checked since the programme began in 2011.
The team will be stationed at the Giant Hypermarket in Kota Damansara this weekend (15-17 December, 10am-5pm), to provide a free 50-point safety check to all Perodua vehicles this festive season and school holidays.
“The Perodua Tweckbot represents our commitment to customers in providing them with the very best in terms of products and services. It is also one of our Road Safety Campaign initiatives,” Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk (Dr) Aminar Rashid Salleh said.
“At Perodua, You Matter Most, and we want to ensure that during this festive period and school holidays, your Perodua vehicles are in the best possible shape for the long journeys you and your loved ones may take,” added Datuk (Dr) Aminar.
The 50-point inspection comprises engine, transmission, coolant (coolant level, fan and temperature), brake (fluid and pad wear), power steering, clutch, tyre, suspension and electrical (battery, lights and water) checks, with each inspection taking 10-15 minutes.
Additionally, a 20% discount on parts and accessories will be given to all vehicles that return to Perodua service branches and dealers (terms and conditions apply). The Perodua Tweckbot started as a Twitter-based service (Twitter + check + robot) offering free inspections at specified times and locations. Tweckbot gradually expanded into other mediums such as Facebook and traditional media to reach out to more Perodua owners.
“We hope our customers will take advantage of the Tweckbot service to ensure their vehicles’ safety and roadworthiness. We would like to wish a very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, happy holidays and a Happy New Year,” said Datuk (Dr) Aminar.
PROTON membawa para pengedar terbaiknya melawat Geely di China baru-baru ini dalam usaha untuk berkongsi pengalaman pengedar Geely mengendalikan cawangan mereka di Shanghai. Lawatan melibatkan seramai 28 pemilik pusat jualan dan perkhidmatan PROTON, disertai oleh pegawai PROTON dan seorang wakil dari institusi kewangan.
Baru-baru ini, PROTON telah menggesa pengedar dan pengendali pusat perkhidmatan untuk menaik taraf kemudahan mereka sebagai persediaan untuk model baharu Proton yang akan diperkenalkan pada tahun hadapan. Lawatan tersebut telah memperkenalkan kepada mereka seorang pengedar Geely di Shanghai dan bagi yang lain, ini merupakan lawatan pertama mereka ke China di mana seorang pengedar kereta benar-benar telah membuka pintu kepada rakyat Malaysia untuk mempelajari dan mengkaji operasi harian mereka.
Geely Showroom
Pengedar-pengedar dari PROTON amat kagum dengan kejayaan Geely di negaranya.
Ryan Lai, pengarah LHM One Stop, sebuah cawangan PROTON 4S di Nilai berkata, dia amat tertarik dengan tahap perkhidmatan pelanggan di cawangan Geely. “Pusat perkhidmatan tersebut mempunyai ruangan menunggu yang menyerupai hotel bertaraf 5 bintang! Kebiasaannya, suasana sebegitu hanya dapat dirasai oleh pemilik kereta premium di Eropah, akan tetapi, Geely menawarkannya kepada pelanggan mereka,” kata Ryan.
Pengedar-pengedar tersebut turut dijemput untuk memandu uji model Geely Boyue yang bakal diperkenalkan di Malaysia tidak lama lagi. “Pada awalnya saya agak ragu-ragu tetapi apabila saya mula duduk di dalam Boyue, saya tahu ini adalah kenderaan yang terbaik untuk imej baharu PROTON,” jelas Ryan.
Pandangannya turut dikongsi oleh Susan Leong dari Hoi Keen Service di Kuantan. Hoi Keen mengendalikan pusat servis serta pusat membaiki dan mengecat PROTON. “Ia mempunyai reka bentuk dalaman yang mewah dan terasa sangat premium bagi segmennya,” kata Susan.

Seorang veteran dalam industri, Dato’ Shamshudin dari Pantai Bharu yang mempunyai sebuah pusat PROTON 4S di Jalan Meru menyatakan keyakinannya terhadap PROTON dan Geely. “Kerjasama itu ada dan Boyue pasti akan memberi kesan yang besar di Malaysia,” kata Shamshudin.
Para pengedar juga berpeluang melawat ke Institut Penyelidikan Geely dan telah dipertonton dengan teknologi semasa dan pelbagai reka bentuk pada masa hadapan. Shamshudin, Ryan dan Susan turut mengumumkan secara terbuka bahawa syarikat mereka akan membuat pelaburan berjuta ringgit bagi memperluaskan cawangan PROTON mereka.
“Lawatan ini benar-benar membuka mata kepada apa yang bakal dicapai oleh PROTON pada masa akan datang. “Kami akan melabur untuk jenama PROTON kerana kami telah melihat masa depan PROTON,” kata Ryan.
