New City Hatchback Expected To Launch In Q2 2024

Honda Malaysia announced that the Company will be launching the New City Hatchback in Quarter 2, 2024.

The City Hatchback remains as one of the top selling hatchback models in the Non-National segment and the facelifted model is now open for bookings at all Honda dealerships nationwide.

Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hironobu Yoshimura said, back in 2021, Honda Malaysia created a milestone by introducing the City in Hatchback body type for the first time. This model gained instant popularity with its eye-catching design, advanced technology and practicality.

From city streets to open highways, this Energetic Hatchback has captured hearts since its 2021 debut, surpassing 28,700 units in sales and confirming its status as Malaysia’s ultimate hatchback sensation.” 

The City Hatchback was Honda Malaysia’s second model with the e:HEV technology, introduced in 2021. Since then, the e:HEV RS for City Hatchback contributed 16% to Honda Malaysia’s total hybrid sales to-date, marking a significant contribution to the Company’s e:HEV model expansion in the market. In 2023, Honda Malaysia sold a total of 10,300 units of City Hatchback, attaining a strong presence in the Non-National hatchback segment.

The facelifted City Hatchback receives upgrades in its overall looks and appearance, featuring a sleeker, more dynamic design that will inspire any onlooker. The e:HEV RS variant takes it to the next level, boasting a sharper, more aggressive exterior that exudes pure excitement. This variant also additionally features newly designed Honeycomb Front Grille, Front Lower Grille and a bumper with a more aggressive appearance, including the Front Fog Garnish.

The e:HEV RS variant’s sporty appeal is further accentuated by a new sleek Rear Bumper Lower Garnish design, along with a captivating new design of Side Sill Garnish that adds a touch of sophistication to its overall sporty appearance.

A new exciting addition for the New City Hatchback e:HEV RS is the charming Berlina Black 16-inch Alloy Wheels which delivers a complete hot hatch look and feel that is impossible to ignore.

The RS variant is powered by the 1.5L e:HEV powertrain which delivers 109PS and 253Nm of torque, dominating torque performance in its class. Meanwhile, the 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC for petrol version produces 121PS of maximum output and 145Nm of torque. This efficient engine continues to offer an ideal balance of ‘fun to drive’ performance and exceptional fuel efficiency for a hatchback body type.

Safety and security features have been elevated in the New City Hatchback. Honda’s advanced safety technology, Honda SENSING is made available in all variants of the New City Hatchback with the additional feature of Lead Car Departure Notification (LCDN). Meanwhile, the e:HEV RS variant receives an extra feature, which is the Low Speed Follow (LSF) for a more convenient driving function.

The New City Hatchback is expected to appeal to young adults and professionals who value the balance of advanced technology, style and practicality in their daily ride. It’s a car with overall youthful package that caters to current growing customer trend.

Bagaimana Samsung Knox Vault Lindungi Peranti Anda Daripada Digodam

Tahukah anda telefon pintar anda sebenarnya terdedah atau mudah digodam oleh mana-mana pihak yang bertanggungjawab. Apatah lagi sekiranya peranti anda hilang akibat dicuri mahupun tercicir tanpa disedari.

Bayangkan semua maklumat peribadi seperti info perbankan, nombor PIN akaun mahupun aplikasi perbankan yang disimpan dalam peranti mudah diakses sesiapa sahaja menyebabkan anda akan kehilangan wang sekelip mata tanpa disedari.

Justeru bagi melindungi data anda daripada diceroboh, Samsung mencipta Knox Vault sebagai cip tambahan di dalam telefon dan diasingkan daripada pemproses utama serta memori.

Ini untuk melindungi data di dalamnya daripada diceroboh secara perisian atau melalui perkakas kerana sejak kebelakangan ini, kita seringkali mendengar mengenai isu peranti digodam, maklumat peribadi dicuri oleh pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab cuba untuk menggodam telefon pintar kita untuk mengakses butiran peribadi.

Samsung Knox Vault memperkenalkan ciri ini pada kedua-dua model kelas pertengahan terbaharu, Galaxy A55 5G dan A35 5G yang melindungi data daripada pelbagai serangan siber.

Selain itu, pengguna siri Galaxy A juga akan mempunyai akses kepada Security & Privacy Dashboard yang membolehkan pengguna mengawal pelbagai perkara pada peranti, termasuk akses pada sesuatu aplikasi.

Selain itu, peranti ini turut mengintegrasikan sejumlah ciri-ciri menarik termasuk sokongan kemaskini selama empat generasi Android dan lima tahun kemaskini sekuriti.

APA ITU KNOX VAULT

Data penting yang tersimpan di dalam Knox Vault adalah data kritikal seperti maklumat kunci skrin seperti nombor PIN, kata laluan dan paten. Ia juga menyimpan kekunci penyulitan (encryption) serta data peribadi yang disulitkan di dalam peranti.

Hanya pengguna yang mempunyai bukti kelayakan skrin kunci yang betul sahaja boleh mengakses data tersebut. Jadi semua data kritikal ini tidak boleh diakses walaupun peranti itu hilang atau dicuri.

Jadi, amat penting untuk kita mengetahui jenis ancaman siber yang sering berlaku dan mengenalpasti tanda awal sekali gus mengambil langkah pencegahan yang sesuai.

AUTO BLOCKER

Salah satu ciri keselamatan tambahan yang disediakan di dalam Galaxy A35 5G dan Galaxy A55 5G adalah Auto Blocker. Ia sangat berguna untuk melindungi pengguna dari serangan siber.

Antaranya, ia akan menghalang aplikasi dipasang dari sumber yang tidak dibenarkan. Ia juga akan memeriksa aplikasi yang dipasang dari sebarang aktiviti yang diragui.

Auto Blocker boleh menghalang arahan yang disalurkan dari kabel USB, cara yang sering digunakan penjenayah siber untuk menceroboh secara fizikal.

Satu lagi cara penjenayah siber menceroboh adalah menggunakan gambar di dalam aplikasi permesejan. Gambar juga boleh digunakan untuk membawa kod yang mengandungi akses tanpa disedari pengguna, yang boleh menyebabkan peranti menjadi lambat atau data hilang tetapi Auto Blocker akan menghalangnya.

Cara penggodam menghantar kepada peranti kita adalah dengan menghantar fail ataupun pautan melalui emel palsu, laman web yang tidak dipercayai, atau aplikasi yang dirancang untuk menggodam data melalui peranti kita.

Selain itu, terdapat juga kaedah memancing data di mana penjenayah siber menggunakan teknik penipuan ataupun menyamar sebagai orang lain untuk mendapatkan maklumat peribadi pengguna. Mereka akan menghantar emel atau mesej palsu yang kelihatan seperti dari institusi kewangan atau organisasi yang dipercayai.

Selalunya, kandungan mesej tersebut meminta pengguna untuk mengemaskini butiran akaun mereka. Apabila pengguna mengikut arahan tersebut, maklumat peribadi seperti kata laluan boleh dicuri dengan mudah. Oleh itu, sangat penting untuk berhati-hati ketika menerima e-mel ataupun membuka pautan dari sumber yang tidak dikenali.

Justeru, telefon pintar Galaxy A35 5G dan Galaxy A55 5G turut dilengkapi dengan ciri “Security and Privacy Dashboard“. Ia menyediakan tempat sehenti untuk pengguna memeriksa dan mengawal dengan mudah, sebarang kebenaran yang diberikan kepada aplikasi.

Pengguna juga dapat menikmati perkongsian fail yang selamat menerusi “Private Sharing“. Selain menyediakan sambungan yang disulit dan selamat untuk menghantar data peribadi termasuk gambar dan video, pengguna juga boleh mengawal kebenaran dan akses untuk penerima seperti tarikh luput kebenaran, jenis gambar dan sebagainya.

Samsung merupakan satu-satunya pengeluar Android yang menjamin kemaskini OS dan keselamatan yang panjang untuk hampir semua perantinya, termasuk peranti kelas permulaan.

Bagi Galaxy A35 dan Galaxy A55, Samsung menjamin kemaskini OS Android dan One UI sebanyak 4 kali atau sehingga Android 18, serta kemaskini keselamatan selama 5 tahun.

Selain penuh dengan ciri keselamatan dan penyulitan data, pengguna kedua-dua peranti ini juga akan dilindungi untuk jangka masa yang lama.

Salah satu contoh sistem sekuriti yang boleh dipercayai adalah Samsung Knox Vault, di mana ia dibina bersama pelbagai peranti Samsung. Ini sekaligus dapat menawarkan perlindungan yang lebih baik untuk maklumat peribadi anda.

Ciri sekuriti ini diaktifkan secara automatik sewaktu peranti dimulakan dan ia akan menawarkan perlindungan berterusan. Jadi, anda tidak perlu risau untuk mencari sekuriti tambahan atau mengambil masa untuk mengaktifkannya secara manual.

Jika anda mahukan ciri sekuriti yang menawarkan perlindungan kukuh terhadap maklumat dan privasi, anda boleh dapatkan Samsung Galaxy A35 5G pada harga RM1,699 untuk varian 256GB dengan tiga pilihan warna iaitu Awesome IceBlue, Awesome Lilac dan Awesome Navy.

Jika anda mempunyai bajet yang lebih pula, anda boleh dapatkan Samsung Galaxy A55 5G pada harga RM1,999 untuk varian 256GB dengan tiga pilihan warna Awesome IceBlue, Awesome Lilac dan Awesome Navy.

KESIMPULAN

Adalah penting untuk sentiasa berhati-hati dan mengambil langkah-langkah proaktif untuk melindungi diri daripada ancaman siber yang semakin berkembang. Ini adalah termasuk mengenal pasti jenis ancaman siber dan langkah untuk mengelakkan diri dari risiko tersebut.

Malah, memastikan sistem sekuriti peranti yang kukuh juga menjadi salah satu faktor yang penting.

Selain itu, amalkan penggunaan kata laluan yang kuat dan unik untuk setiap akaun, serta aktifkan pengesahan dua faktor apabila boleh. Melaluinya, anda dapat menambah lapisan keselamatan yang penting untuk melindungi akaun anda daripada akses yang tidak sah.

Pastikan juga untuk tidak berkongsi kata laluan dengan sesiapa dan mengubahnya secara berkala. Dengan mengamalkan langkah proaktif ini, anda dapat meningkatkan keselamatan akaun anda secara keseluruhan dan sekaligus mengurangkan risiko akses yang tidak sah.

LaLaport hosts first immersive sakura display by NAKED

Springtime in Japan is famed for its sakura, making it a season that many look forward to for its beautiful scenery and climate. It is during this precious time of year that the ephemeral cherry trees blossom, painting the landscape pink.

Malaysians now have the opportunity to be immersed in the wonder of Japan’s springtime as Tokyo-based creative production company NAKED, INC. (“NAKED”) presents its maiden
experience in Malaysia at LaLaport BBCC.

The “Sakura Festival Powered by NAKED, INC.” will see the Japanese concept mall’s WoW
Plaza (Ground Floor) and Central Rooftop Garden (Level 4) facade illuminated in pretty pink
lights and colourful projection mapping inspired by cherry blossoms.

Actual Keio cherry blossoms from the Yamagata Prefecture in Japan will be specially brought in and set up in a viewing zone for locals to enjoy as well. Starting daily from 7:30 pm, the presentation by NAKED will elevate the hanami (i.e. ‘flower viewing’) tradition of enjoying the beautiful flowers which occurs only once every year, transporting visitors to Japan in an instant.

Taking lead from its inspiration of the once-a-year sakura season, the installation is available exclusively for a limited period until 19 May 2024 and is open to all without charge.

The immersive experience is the brainchild of LaLaport BBCC and brought to life by NAKED, who are renowned for blending compelling storytelling and creative visions to craft next-
generation digital art experiences.

Prior to this, NAKED’s works have been presented across Japan as well as in Paris, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Notable works include the direction of the G7 Hiroshima Summit social
dinner presented to world leaders, experiential digital art series “NAKED FLOWERS” exhibited in World Heritage Site Nijo-jo Castle, and collaboration with Singapore’s Mandai Wildlife Reserve.

LaLaport BBCC Senior Advertising & Promotions Manager, Kenro Abe said, “We are thrilled to host NAKED’s latest projection mapping project here in Malaysia for the very first time, offering the public an unforgettable night-time hanami experience like never before.

Further amplifying the atmosphere, Japanese rock group HOSHI-NO-OKA performed their debut single live during the Sakura Festival opening. The group comprises a quartet of talented Malaysians – Cyen, Kano, Sasha and Angela, who have been honing their skills
under the guidance of producer Kenta Matsukuma.

Adding an extra jolt of energy, Japanese idol girl group AKB48 (A.K.B. Forty-Eight), named
after the Akihabara area in Tokyo, is scheduled for a special appearance to rock the stage in LaLaport BBCC.

AKB48 are among the highest-earning musical acts in Japan and will be performing on the weekend of 18 – 19 May 2024 to close off the Sakura Festival Powered by NAKED, INC. at LaLaport BBCC.

Sakanoue Café, a well-known shaved ice store in Yushima, Japan, is also set to open its doors in May. They will be serving a limited edition cherry blossom ice until 19 May 2024 only. Throughout the festival’s duration, other F&B tenants will also be curating and offering special Sakura-inspired creations for visitors to savour.

In addition to the projection mapping, throughout the duration of the Sakura Festival Powered by NAKED, INC. at LaLaport BBCC, there will be interactive activities such as the Uchiwa Stamp Rally for visitors to participate in for added excitement.

The rally involves spending a minimum of RM20 at five different participating stores to collect stamps to redeem an RM20 LaLaport cash voucher. On weekends, visitors can take home unique, custom souvenirs from the Japanese mask painting and sakura origami art workshops.

The workshops will be held on Saturdays and Sundays between 2:00 pm – 8:00 pm at Level 1, near Moto Guzzi & Forever 21. Interested visitors just need to spend RM100 in up to two (2) receipts to enjoy either one of the workshops.

Also on weekends, the Central Rooftop Garden will host 30 pink themed bazaar booths in a
Sakura Market. Patrons can expect to find an eclectic mix of Malaysian and Japanese food,
crafts and knickknacks which make good gifts for loved ones. The bazaar operates from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

However, the 2024 GAC GS3 EMZOOM ticks plenty of right boxes in terms of design, performance, practicality and technology and we are confident in its overall ability to put up a strong challenge here as a CBU model, ahead of the arrival of the locally-assembled vehicle plus other exciting new models on the horizon,” said Tan, who describes the launch of the GS3 EMZOOM as a vital catalyst for the GAC brand in Malaysia.

Also present at the official debut of GAC GS3 EMZOOM in Malaysia was Wang Shun Sheng,
Deputy General Manager of GAC International. “In 2023, the GAC Group produced and sold more than 2.5 million vehicles. This is an all-time record for an independent Chinese
manufacturer.

“We are now present in 43 countries and Malaysia is one of our strategic markets. We are pleased with the industrious partnership we have with the Tan Chong Group and remain
committed to investing in the domestic market to make GAC a household name in Malaysia,” said Wang.

Behind the Scenes With Corning® Gorilla® Armor: How the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Screen Stays Tough and Resists Glare

In a new video, Samsung Electronics takes viewers behind the scenes to witness the technical precision and advanced engineering behind Corning® Gorilla® Armor — a scratch- and glare-resistant advanced glass developed exclusively for the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Featuring the latest example of Corning Incorporated’s innovative technology, the video captures the remarkable optics, impressive durability and next-level clarity of the display.

Corning® Gorilla® Armor is the result of an exacting process that covers the glass surface with special ions in nanometer layers — each one thinner than a human hair. The end product is a high-tech material that reduces glare by up to 75%, making the display more readable and minimizing screen reflection even in bright sunlight or harsh indoor lighting.

This process makes the glass display tough, so users of the latest Galaxy smartphone can enjoy greater protection from the everyday wear and tear that gradually damages screens over time.

In Corning lab tests, Corning® Gorilla® Armor demonstrated that it was more than four times as scratch resistant as competing display glasses made from aluminosilicates. Another detail that may interest users is the way Corning makes this extraordinary display material in an ultra-clean environment with vacuum deposition systems.

It is the same technology Samsung uses to manufacture semiconductors. For more than 50 years, Samsung and Corning have worked together to create innovative display materials. Learn more in the video below.
