Tune Talk Continues Its Support For the Malaysian Paralympic Movement

Malaysians have proven themselves time and time again, uniting to show their support towards the country’s remarkable Paralympic athletes.

FROM the historic achievement at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games to the total domination at the Kuala Lumpur 2017 ASEAN Para Games, our para athletes are globally known for their ability to break records and set exceptional standards within the Paralympic community.

In 2015, Tune Talk introduced The Malaysian Invasion Mixed Martial Arts (MISIM) and #KAMILUARBIASA to bring more exposure to our heroes, highlighting their achievements as well as play an active role in finding new talents at the grassroots level.

The initiatives have since managed to break down walls of prejudice, discrimination and the perception towards these extraordinary para athletes.

Ameen Amaendran, Tune Talk CEO, stated “Tune Talk has always been a strong believer of the Malaysian Paralympic movement since 2015.

Through the MISIM and #KAMILUARBIASA initiatives, two efforts specifically created to support and provide exposure for our extraordinary athletes, Tune Talk will continue on to provide the latest coverage of our athletes who will be competing at the ASIAN Para Games 2018 in Jakarta, just like what we did during the RIO Paralympic Games 2016, through our online platforms.”

“On top of that, we will also provide training kits for these athletes to wear when they go about their routine at the venue. The main priority is to ensure the athletes would not have to worry about unnecessary issues and focus on their battle to bring back glory to Malaysia.

It is within the company’s DNA to help build extraordinary communities and what an honour for us to be part of the Malaysian Paralympic movement.”

We would like to invite all Malaysians to cheer our para athletes on, staying updated with their performance, as well as spread the great news about their journey in Jakarta. MISIM will follow the para athlete’s preparation and journey closely, giving an in depth view of their struggles and aspirations to raise the Jalur Gemilang.

PENCARIAN untuk mekanik kereta terbaik di rantau ini mencapai penutup gemilang di Pusat Konvensyen KLCC apabila pasukan Malaysia, yang terdiri daripada Low Pai Khoon, Yim Shao Ze dan Alvin Tan Yong Jun, dinobatkan sebagai Juara Serantau peraduan Castrol Asia Pacific Cars Super Mechanic 2018!

Acara peringkat akhir hari ini merupakan kemuncak kepada pertandingan sengit yang telah berlangsung selama beberapa bulan dalam pencarian dan usaha mengiktiraf mekanik kereta terbaik di rantau ini.

The teams are required to change engine oil, replace engine parts, as well as diagnose and solve engine problems during the practical challenge

Peraduan Castrol Asia Pacific Cars Super Mechanic 2018 bermula dengan Pusingan Kebangsaan pada bulan Mac, di mana hanya 15 mekanik kereta Castrol dipilih ke Peringkat Akhir untuk bersaing di dalam cabaran teori dan praktikal.

Tiga Juara Utama Kebangsaan kemudiannya membentuk satu pasukan bagi mewakili negara, di mana mereka bertarung menentang wakil dari Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapura dan India bagi membuktikan pengetahuan teori dan kemahiran praktikal mereka.

Pada Peringkat Akhir Serantau hari ini, lima Pasukan Kebangsaan menjalani empat tugasan rumit berasaskan had masa.

The theory challenge tests the teams on their technical knowledge in solving common car problems

Selepas melalui sesi Kuiz Teori, pasukan tersebut terpaksa berlumba untuk mempamerkan kemahiran praktikal dalam penyenggaraan enjin kereta serta pengetahuan teknikal mengenai cara menukar minyak enjin, menggantikan bahagian-bahagian enjin, selain melakukan diagnosis dan menyelesaikan masalah enjin di dalam masa yang paling singkat.

Lebih menyukarkan tugasan, penalti masa dikenakan ke atas pasukan yang melakukan sebarang kesilapan yang dilakukan sepanjang berlangsungnya cabaran, misalnya minyak tumpah.

Selepas berhempas-pulas, pasukan Malaysia diraikan sebagai pasukan pertama yang berjaya menghidupkan enjin seterusnya melahukan kereta selenggaraan mereka, sekali gus menyempurnakan tugasan akhir dalam peraduan Castrol Asia Pacific Cars Super Mechanic 2018.

“Peraduan Castrol Asia Pacific Cars Super Mechanic 2018 merupakan pertandingan yang paling mengujakan setakat ini dengan penglibatan pakar kereta Castrol terbaik dari rantau ini, bertarung demi meraih kedudukan teratas.

Tahniah kepada Juara Serantau yang telah berusaha keras selama berbulan-bulan lamanya untuk mempersiapkan diri dengan mempertingkatkan penguasaan kemahiran teori dan praktikal. Castrol berbangga melalui kembara ini bersama mereka.

Kami berharap pengalaman ini akan membuka peluang kepada mereka untuk mengembangkan perniagaan dan menyediakan perkhidmatan yang lebih baik kepada pelanggan,’’ kata Pengarah Pemasaran Serantau- BP/Castrol Asia & Pacific Shyam Balasubramanian.

Menurutnya, “Sebagai pengeluar jenama minyak enjin peneraju, Castrol EDGE dan Castrol MAGNATEC, kami bukan sekadar ingin memberi ganjaran dan mengiktiraf mekanik, tetapi juga berhasrat untuk memberi sokongan yang berterusan kepada mereka dalam usaha menambah pengetahuan dan kemahiran teknikal.

Demi mencapai matlamat ini, peraduan Castrol Asia Pacific Cars Super Mechanic merupakan platform cemerlang di mana mereka berpeluang mempamerkan kemahiran dan memperoleh pendedahan bernilai di peringkat serantau.

The winners of the Castrol Asia Pacific Cars Super Mechanic Contest 2018 together with Castrol team members

Tahniah kepada Juara Serantau di atas kejayaan dan terima kasih kepada semua peserta di atas usaha, kesungguhan dan minat mendalam anda sepanjang peraduan ini berlangsung.’’

Sebagai tambahan kepada Hadiah Utama, pemenang Low Pai Khoon, Yim Shao Ze dan Alvin Tan Yong Jun juga akan mendapat peluang sekali seumur hidup untuk menyertai kru pit pasukan Renault Sports Formula One Team semasa perlumbaan F1 Grand Prix di Singapura, bulan ini.

Mengulas mengenai kejayaan bersejarah pasukannya, Low Pai Khoon berkata, “Kami sangat gembira kerana dapat mewakili negara dan seterusnya memenangi peraduan Castrol Asia Pacific Cars Super Mechanic 2018!

Kami telah menempuh cabaran yang sengit dan berterima kasih di atas segala sokongan yang telah membawa kami ke tahap ini. Kami sangat teruja untuk menyertai kru pit pada F1 Grand Prix di Singapura nanti dan berharap dapat mempelajari sebanyak mungkin daripada mekanik-mekanik terbaik di dunia.

Kami ingin merakamkan penghargaan kepada Castrol atas peluang yang diberikan ini dan matlamat kami ialah melakukan yang terbaik semasa perlumbaan F1 Grand Prix di Singapura pada September ini.’’

Pasukan Thailand dan pasukan India, masing-masing merupakan pemenang tempat kedua dan ketiga.

Mah Sing Reinvents Playtime At Southville City

Malaysia’s first technology and pop-up art experience brings to fore family-centric values with insta-worthy moments

MAH Sing Group Berhad (Mah Sing) has once again reinvented spaces; this time with a 25,000-square-feet Instgrammable PLAYground featuring interactive installations that integrate family-friendly activities.

Visitors of all ages are invited to PLAY, DISCOVER and INVENT at Southville City, Bangi, over the span of eight weekends starting from 9 September until 28 October 2018.

Mah Sing’s Director, Group Strategy and Operations, Rachel Leong shared, “PLAY for kids 10 years ago used to be outdoor adventures, board games, team sports and playgrounds.

However, children nowadays have less contact with the physical world, which creates huge impact on their social skill, health and development. Arts & Lights PLAY is where both adults and children can experience the true free PLAY, as there are no rules, no agenda.

The spaces we created are inspiring, bringing back the joy of pure unadulterated PLAY!” “The interactive activities and photo-worthy installations are anchored by 6 pillars which are creativity, fun, learning, community, relaxation and taste, which will present a whole new experience for visitors from all age group.

These 6 pillars are inspired by what Southville City is able to offer as a self-sustainable township, which is a holistic living experience,” she also said.

Visitors can expect to participate in activities and spaces revolving the six pillars such as a reading corner, ball pit, photography/ videography / makeup workshops, Yoga, Nerf Gun Battleground, Confetti room, Pony ride, Giant Jenga and many more. There are 10 food trucks to satiate the appetite of visitors.

Mah Sing’s Chief Executive Office, Datuk Ho Hon Sang said, “The first edition of the Arts & Lights was held in Mah Sing’s Icon City in Petaling Jaya, last November. Dubbed as Malaysia’s first Instagram museum, the inception of Arts & Lights took inspiration from America’s selfie museums such as the Museum of Ice Cream and Colour Factory.”

Since then, Arts & Lights has made its way across Mah Sing’s projects throughout Malaysia, attracting some 65,000 visitors. This time, Mah Sing is confident that it will attract between 20,000 to 25,000 visitors.
One of the highlights of Arts & Lights PLAY is ‘Party with Hue’ powered by Philips Hue from Signify (previously known as Philips Lighting).

With control at their fingertips, visitors will use Philips Hue to walk through a 12-feet tunnel and experience changing light-moods, from Savanna Sunset to Spring Blossom, to name a few.

This walk then fuses into a musical wall where visitors can experience the multi-colored flexibility and power of Hue in all its glory. Set to delight all ages, this fun and intuitive wireless lighting system can certainly offer shareable Instagram moments and a foretaste of smart home lighting.

Alston Foo, head for Consumer channel for Signify in Malaysia and Singapore said, “We have enjoyed good collaboration with Mah Sing, and we are delighted to be part of Arts & Lights. At ‘Party with Hue’, we’d love to thrill visitors when they mix imagination and lights using Philips Hue.

We hope this can widen public perspectives on smart home lighting and how it can elevate the home ambience and entertainment experience.”

The next highlight is “Pew Pew Pew”, featuring Kuala Lumpur’s first ever glow-in-the dark nerf gun battleground! This physical activity required 2 teams and maximum 3 team mates in a team. It is an exciting 3-minute per game activity for friends and families.

Joining the bandwagon is also a sponsorship from DiGi & Dream Colours. The DiGi PLAYground will serve to reinvent PLAYtime with a tinge of childhood nostalgia. Dream Colours sets up a beautiful swing installation decked floor to ceiling with their coloured bottles. A special drink is customized specially for Arts & Lights PLAY!

Another space one should not have missed is the “Just Keep -Swimming” ball pit, which is kept kid-friendly, sanitized and squeaky clean by Steam & Sanitize. The 2-feet height ball pit filled with pastel colours balls is a perfect photo spot for your Instagram.

Other event contributors such as BookXcess, Hypergear, NYX Cosmetic, Dim Sum, ZALORA, LaserOps, Photobook, SPCA, Science Bridge and Roboticist, adding to the quality, life and fun of the event.

Maserati Is The Main Partner Of The Gran Premio Nuvolari 2018

Levante GranSport MY19

The Gran Premio Nuvolari, a regularity rally only open to historic cars built between 1919 and 1972, will be held from 13 to 16 September on a route which starts and ends in Mantua, the birthplace of Tazio Nuvolari.

MASERATI will be paying tribute to the “Flying Mantuan”, one of the greatest drivers of all time, as the Main Partner of the GP Nuvolari, the rally that bears his name.

1934 Tazio Nuvolari Maserati 6C-34 GP Italia Monza

Throughout the event, Maserati will be exhibiting the 6C-34 from the Umberto Panini Collection in Modena and the Levante GranSport MY19 in the magnificent setting of Piazza Sordello in Mantua.

Ernesto Maserati designed the Maserati 6C-34 in response to the new international regulations based on the maximum weight limit of 750 kg.

With a 270 HP straight 6 cylinder engine and a top speed of 250 km/h, it went directly from the factory to its racing debut, at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza on 9 September 1934 when Tazio Nuvolari drove it to fifth place overall.

Also at the wheel of the 6C-34, “Nivola” had a thrilling end to the season: on 30 September he finished third in Brno and in the following weeks he achieved two particularly impressive victories, with a win on the Modena Circuit on 14 October and again in the Coppa Principessa di Piemonte on the Naples Circuit a week later, on 21 October 1934.

Levante GranSport MY19

The Maserati Levante, the brand’s first SUV, presented in the MY19 version at the 25th edition of the Festival of Speed held at Goodwood from 12 to 15 July, features a restyling that has combined important technical updates, such as the new, improved short-stroke paddle shifters, the adaptive Full LED Matrix headlights, with the addition of the GranLusso and GranSport trims and the introduction of new contents such as “Pieno Fiore” leather, the new external colours, the new wheels and a wider selection of interior trims.

The Maserati cars taking part in the event include: the A6 1500 Berlinetta designed by Pininfarina and built in 1949 – the first Maserati road model, a sports car intended for gentlemen drivers, with a “1500” engine that provided the basis for Maserati racing and road cars of the following years, starting with the A6 GCS; and a Quattroporte built in 1968 – a car that marked a milestone in the history of Maserati, since the first Quattroporte generation, in 1963, created a completely new market segment, that of the luxury sports sedan.

Maserati will also be opening the parade of over 300 teams taking part in the GP Nuvolari by organising the Maserati Tribute, a “race within the race”, with the cars in the current range – the Quattroporte flagship, the Ghibli sports sedan and the Levante SUV – lining up on the front row.

“We are delighted to be Main Partner of the Gran Premio Nuvolari, which commemorates legendary Mantua-born driver Tazio Nuvolari, who won major victories with Maserati,” commented Umberto Cini, General Manager Maserati EMEA Region.

“It gives us great pleasure to drive Trident brand cars over more than 1000 kms of roads unrivalled anywhere in the world, through beautiful Italian landscapes, in a unique blend of history, passion and tradition, all values expressed to the full by Maserati, which is also proud to reaffirm its role as international ambassador for Italian excellence.”

The 2018 edition of the GP Nuvolari, held this year for the 28th time, offers a new-look route with the first stage from Mantua across the Po Valley and the Apennines to the Adriatic Riviera, the second stage from Rimini through the beautiful landscapes of Tuscany, Umbria and Marche regions and back to Rimini, and the third stage from the Adriatic Sea through the towns and cities of Emilia Romagna to the finishing line in Mantua.

BN Akan Bermesyuarat Tentukan Calon PRK Port Dickson

Barisan Nasional (BN) dijangka akan bermesyuarat dalam masa terdekat bagi menentukan sama ada akan meletak calon atau tidak dalam Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Parlimen Port Dickson (nama asal Teluk Kemang).

TIMBALAN Pengerusi BN Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan berkata, ia bagaimanapun terpulang kepada keputusan yang dicapai Majlis Tertinggi BN kelak.

“Jika BN bersetuju untuk meletak calon, semua pandangan akan diambil kira termasuk daripada Badan Perhubungan Negeri dan juga bahagian sebelum memutuskan siapa calon yang layak dan ‘credible’ (berkredibiliti) untuk mewakili BN dalam PRK tersebut.

“Setakat ini kita BN akan meneliti dan berbincang perkara ini,” katanya dalam kenyataan di sini.

Beliau berkata demikian sebagai mengulas pengumuman yang dibuat Setiausaha Agung PKR yang juga Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna Datuk Saifuddin Nasution Ismail hari ini bahawa kerusi Parlimen Port Dickson dikosongkan bagi memberi laluan kepada Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim bertanding sebagai persiapan untuk menjadikan beliau sebagai perdana menteri kelapan.

Pengumuman itu menamatkan teka-teki kawasan Parlimen yang dipilih Anwar, yang sebelum ini pernah menyatakan ada tiga kawasan yang menawarkan kerusi Parlimen bagi beliau bertanding iaitu di utara, tengah dan selatan, tanpa menamakan kerusi berkenaan.

Mohamad yang juga Timbalan Presiden UMNO berkata secara peribadinya, beliau berpandangan calon yang akan dipilih mewakili BN dalam PRK itu kelak seeloknya adalah anak tempatan.

Parlimen Port Dickson, yang memiliki sejumlah 75,381 pengundi mengikut daftar pemilih semasa Pilihan Raya Umum ke-14 (PRU14), disandang oleh Datuk Danyal Balagopal Abdullah.

Danyal Balagopal adalah wakil tunggal PKR daripada lima kerusi Parlimen Pakatan Harapan di Negeri Sembilan.

Kerusi Parlimen Port Dickson, yang merupakan kubu kuat PKR sejak 2008, mempunyai lima kerusi Dewan Undang Negeri iaitu Chuah dan Lukut, masing-masing dikuasai DAP, Bagan Pinang dan Linggi (BN) dan Sri Tanjung (PKR).

Pada PRU14, 9 Mei lepas, Danyal Balagopal, 68, bekas pegawai kanan Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) mengalahkan calon BN Datuk V.S. Mogan dan calon PAS Mahfuz Roslan dengan majoriti 17, 710 undi.

PRK Parlimen Port Dickson akan diadakan selepas Danyal Balagopal melepaskan jawatannya sebagai wakil rakyat kawasan itu.
