Malaysia is fast emerging as a regional hub for artificial intelligence and cloud data centres, where cooling is one of the most resource-intensive operational needs.
At MARVEX 2025, held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), LG Electronics Malaysia (LG) highlighted how its latest HVAC innovations – including the newly launched AI Air and the next-generation MULTI V™ i VRF system – are designed to support this growth.
Malaysia has approved more than RM114.7 billion in data centre-related investments between 2021 and 2023. With facilities scaling rapidly to meet global demand, the challenge lies in balancing performance with sustainability.
This is where LG’s complete HVAC lineup – spanning residential, commercial and industrial solutions – plays a role in enabling energy-efficient cooling across environments.
The AI Air, presented to the industry at MARVEX for the first time, demonstrates how LG is
applying its AI, Affectionate Intelligence to everyday comfort. While designed primarily for
homes, its adaptive learning optimises cooling based on real-time conditions and user behaviour.
By improving efficiency at the consumer level, AI Air contributes to Malaysia’s broader goal of reducing energy intensity across its built environment.
Asia Digital Engineering (ADE), the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) subsidiary of Capital A, has signed a long-term agreement with Air France to provide heavy maintenance and aircraft modification services to the airline..
Under the agreement, ADE will commence heavy maintenance checks on Air France’s Airbus A330-200 aircraft with the first induction scheduled for October 2025, followed by additional checks on a phased basis. These initial aircraft mark the beginning of a broader collaboration, with additional inductions expected in the coming years as the partnership between ADE and Air France continues to expand and deepen.
The agreement was formally signed by Mahesh Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Asia Digital Engineering and Géry Mortreux, Executive Vice President of Air France Industries. The document exchange was witnessed by Senator Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Aziz, Minister of Investment, Trade & Industry of Malaysia, and His Excellency Axel Cruau, French Ambassador to Malaysia.
Tengku Zafrul said, “UN Tourism shared that global international visitor arrivals in 2024 had already reached 99% of pre-pandemic levels. For the same period, Asia Pacific alone registered 627.8 million visitors, which is forecast to increase to 801 million by 2027. Malaysia’s aerospace industry – with our clear growth policies, well-established ecosystem and rule of law – is well-poised to capture that growth.
To that end, we welcome partnerships with foreign aircraft providers who see Malaysia’s value proposition as regional services and MRO hub to support their client servicing in this growing region.”
Géry Mortreux, EVP of Air France Industries, said: “We are pleased to enter this partnership with Asia Digital Engineering, whose EASA-certified facilities and highly skilled workforce make them an excellent partner for maintaining our Airbus A330-200 fleet.
As Air France expands its network and modernises operations, ADE’s expertise ensures efficient, world-class maintenance that minimises downtime and maximises performance. We look forward to a strong and enduring collaboration with ADE.”
Mahesh Kumar, CEO of ADE, said: “We are delighted to welcome another world-class airline into our growing portfolio of customers. This partnership with Air France marks a historic milestone not only for ADE but also for Malaysia and the wider Asean aerospace industry.
Being entrusted with their aircraft maintenance is a strong testament to the capabilities and competitiveness of our region’s MRO services. We are proud to strengthen Malaysia’s position as a hub for aerospace excellence while supporting Air France’s continued operational reliability.”
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. introduced the new Sound Tower (ST50F and ST40F models), its latest innovation in portable audio. Built for large gatherings, these new models combine advanced acoustic technology with a dynamic, modern design to deliver an immersive party experience through both light and sound.

Four additional sound modes — Standard, Wide, Stadium and Outdoor — let listeners further fine-tune their audio to match any setting, from backyard barbecues to packed dance floors.
Whether indoors or outdoors, users can enjoy long-lasting performance with up to 18 hours of untethered playtime on a single charge. A replaceable battery ensures the party can continue without interruption, while IPX4 water resistance offers peace of mind during outdoor use.
For an even more immersive soundscape, users can connect multiple units through Auracast™ Group Play or pair two Sound Towers via Stereo Play with True Wireless Stereo (TWS) for true left-right channel audio.
Portable and Built to Last Designed for versatility, the Sound Tower’s bold, geometric form, integrated lighting and transport-ready build make it as visually striking as it is functional. It redefines portable party audio with a balance of power, design and convenience.
The new models also feature Samsung’s Grip &a Roll design, with a bottom grip slot and integrated handle on the ST40F model, and the addition of wheels and a telescopic handle on the ST50F model for effortless mobility.

Live selling has become one of Malaysia’s most vibrant digital phenomena, with sellers going live on Facebook every night to connect with thousands of viewers.
While to customers it may look seamless, fast deals, charismatic hosts, and products flying off the shelves behind the screen, many entrepreneurs have endured years of trial and error, personal sacrifice, and unrelenting perseverance before finding their footing.
Take Gary Yap, a well-known entertainer who transitioned from television to live selling. He faced the chaos of managing customer comments, payments, and inventory. Despite the overwhelming start, Gary persisted, motivated by the satisfaction of directly connecting with customers and creating trust. For him, live selling became not just a business, but a way to build genuine communities.

For sisters Joey and June of Unicorn Online Wholesale, the journey began with a modest RM5,000 investment. What started as helping a cousin eventually became a family business.
Despite the challenges of overselling, hiring and training staff, and managing manual processes, the sisters’ persistence paid off. Their live sessions became gathering spots, where loyal customers returned not just for discounts but for the connection they had built.
Entrepreneurs Sunday and Mario of Hoyiyo Shop faced even higher stakes after transitioning from their original business model, which relied heavily on exhibitions. However, when they pivoted to live selling on Facebook, they found a safer, more scalable model.
Sunday and Mario doing live selling in their studio.
Live selling allowed them to demonstrate products in real-time, interact directly with customers, and reduce their financial risks. What had once been a business of uncertainty became one of consistency and growth.
These success stories shed light on a larger truth: behind the energy of live selling lies enormous pressure. Orders often come in faster than sellers can process. Payments are prone to errors when handled manually. Stock sells out without warning, frustrating customers and denting trust. For every successful live seller, there are countless others who give up because they cannot overcome these hidden challenges.
This is where technology has stepped in as an invisible partner. Platforms like ULive.me, founded in Petaling Jaya, have been quietly transforming the way sellers operate.
With AI-powered order capture, real-time inventory management, and streamlined payments on Facebook and Instagram, ULive allows sellers to reduce errors by more than 99 percent and grow sales by up to 2.8 times. Sellers describe it not as a replacement, but as a co-pilot, a system that frees them from chaos and lets them focus on engaging audiences.
Bryant Khor, Co-founder of ULive
“Live selling is growing into one of Malaysia’s most exciting digital economies, but it isn’t easy for the people driving it,” said Bryant Khor, Co-Founder and CEO of ULive.me. “Our goal is to take away the operational headaches, so sellers can do what they do best — connect, inspire, and build lasting businesses.”
The numbers speak volumes. ULive has processed over USD 150 million in annual GMV, supporting sellers from celebrities to first-time entrepreneurs. Yet its role remains understated, powering the movement quietly from the background, ensuring that ordinary Malaysians can turn live selling from a side hustle into a career.
What began as small experiments on Facebook Live is now shaping Malaysia’s digital economy. Celebrities are reinventing themselves, families are building businesses together, and once-risky ventures are becoming sustainable enterprises. At the heart of it all lies the grit of entrepreneurs and the quiet technology that helps them succeed.
For every Gary, Joey, June, Mario, and Sunday, there are many more untold stories of Malaysians rewriting what it means to run a business in the digital age. Live selling is no longer just about buying and selling, it is about community, empowerment, and resilience. And with the right tools, it is becoming a lasting engine of growth for the country
Following the introduction of Volvo’s two flagship models, the EX90 and XC90 in April, Volvo Car Malaysia celebrates yet another milestone with a refresh on the brand’s most popular model, the XC60.
The refreshed XC60, features new additions such as an athletic and elegant front grille, the Volvo air suspension system, and the latest intuitive technology. The XC60, is not only a favourite globally with almost 2.7 million units sold to date, but also a trusted choice among Malaysian families.
Since its introduction locally, more than 6,200 units have found homes across the country—underscoring its reputation as a go-to SUV for those who value comfort, quality, and driving confidence.
“The XC60 continues to be our most popular model in Malaysia, and for good reason,” said Chris Wailes, Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia. “It represents everything Volvo stands for — elegant designs, uncompromising safety, and powertrain versatility.
Whether customers prefer a plug-in hybrid or a mild hybrid, the XC60 is our way of providing a sophisticated, sustainable drive to suit every lifestyle.”
The Popular Volvo Model, Refreshed
The refreshed XC60 is available in two electrified variants:
XC60 T8 AWD Plug-in Hybrid – estimated price starting from RM367,888
XC60 B5 AWD Mild Hybrid – estimated price starting from RM333,888*
Both variants cater to the evolving demands of Malaysian drivers – whether navigating weekday traffic through the heart of Kuala Lumpur or heading out for a spontaneous weekend escape, the XC60 is engineered for today’s electrified lifestyles—without
compromise.
Pricing for both variants of the refreshed XC60 will be announced at a later date. The refreshed XC60 T8 AWD Plug-in Hybrid offers up to 89 kilometres** of pure electric driving (WLTP) – ideal for zero-emission commutes, school drop-offs, and city errands.
When needed, the petrol engine delivers over 450Nm of torque, ensuring responsive performance for longer journeys. This combination of electric range and petrol flexibility makes it well-suited for those who value both sustainability and spontaneity.
The refreshed XC60 B5 Mild Hybrid presents a convenient, plug-free solution with improved efficiency. It recovers braking energy to support the petrol engine, lowering fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining refined, everyday drivability.
All variants of the refreshed XC60 come equipped with Volvo’s latest intelligent safety technologies, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and collision avoidance. Combined with Volvo’s renowned safety cage construction, the XC60 continues to deliver class-leading protection and peace of mind for every occupant.
Scandinavian Design, Refined
The XC60’s refreshed design reflects Volvo’s Scandinavian design philosophy—clean, confident, and purposeful. A new diagonal mesh grille compliments the signature ‘Thor Hammer’ LED headlights, and darkened rear lamps contribute to a more assertive presence.
New wheel designs and a curated selection of exterior colours – Forest Lake and Bright
Dusk, further align the XC60 with Volvo’s modern electric line-up, while maintaining a
timeless aesthetic.
Crafted with Comfort
While safety remains synonymous with Volvo, many have yet to discover the level of comfort and luxury, offered by the Swedish brand. Every surface is thoughtfully finished, every texture chosen with purpose and the attention to detail is best showcased inside the cabin of the refreshed XC60.
The seats, often recognised as among the most comfortable in the segment, offer the ideal balance of support and softness—whether for short city stops or long-distance drives. The result is a cabin environment designed for serenity, where distractions are kept at bay and comfort takes centre stage.
Adding to the sense of quiet comfort is Volvo’s air suspension system — offered as a complimentary feature in the plug-in hybrid variant, for a limited time. By effortlessly
absorbing bumps and uneven roads, it elevates the driving experience and keeps both driver and passengers in refined comfort throughout the journey.
New interior enhancements also reflect Volvo’s human-centric approach. Wireless charging has been repositioned for improved ergonomics, while reconfigured cupholders and flexible cargo spaces offer better flow and usability for the day-to-day.
And because well-being is integral to Scandinavian design, the XC60 now features advanced air purification technology that filters out up to 95% of harmful particles, ensuring you and your loved ones can breathe easier—even when the air outside says otherwise.
Smarter Drives Ahead
Technology in the refreshed XC60 is designed to be intuitive and useful. At the centre is a new 11.2-inch freestanding display, powered by Google built-in, offering seamless access to navigation via Google Maps, voice commands through Google Assistant, and a range of familiar apps including Spotify and Waze.
For those who value premium audio, the Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity sound system
delivers a concert-level listening experience – adding another dimension to your daily drive. With this latest refresh, the Volvo XC60 continues to evolve as one of the brand’s most well-rounded offerings—bringing together electrification, safety, comfort, and technology in a premium mid-size SUV.
