Rolls-Royce Motor Cars presents its latest Bespoke commission, Cullinan Daisy – a striking one-of-one Black Badge Cullinan Series II reflecting the commissioning client’s love of hiking and the outdoors.
Drawing inspiration from a field of daisies on the client’s favourite trail in the High Tatras mountains, Cullinan Daisy represents resilience and perseverance – much like a daisy that thrives in a variety of conditions. Commissioned by an individual who built their success in the outdoor and adventure equipment sector, Cullinan Daisy symbolises their path to success.
“My love for the outdoors has been a driving force behind both my personal passions and professional success. The inspiration for this commission came from a field of daisies on my favourite trail in the High Tatras mountains – a place I return to when I need to clear my thoughts.
I’m continuously amazed not only by the beauty but the resilience of this flower that seems to thrive in the face of nature’s challenges. I envisioned Daisy Cullinan as a symbol of perseverance – balancing strength with serenity”.
Commissioning Client, Cullinan Daisy
“This commission challenged us to explore how natural motifs can be translated through craft and materiality. From the delicately etched Blackwood to the daisy detail hidden inside the umbrellas, we told the client’s remarkable story through unexpected textures and an entirely new palette.
Cullinan Daisy is quietly confident, rich in symbolism, yet modern in execution. It also represents a different kind of Bespoke language where emotion is captured through restrained and thoughtful contrasts.”
Martina Starke, General Manager, Bespoke Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

CMF Phone 2 Pro With segment-leading performance, a pro-level four-camera system, a wonderfully bright display, and a premium design, CMF Phone 2 Pro is the ultimate daily smartphone. Unique, powerful and fun, CMF Phone 2 Pro is primed for capturing life’s moments with a joyful, forward-looking beat and refined design.
The slimmest and lightest smartphone Nothing has ever designed. At 7.8 mm, weighing just 185 g, CMF Phone 2 Pro is nearly weightless – 5% thinner than CMF Phone 1. It comes in an elegant body with an aluminum camera surround – evolved from the first-generation design – and features stainless steel screws for an authentic Nothing feel that unveils the craft behind it.
Plus, increased water durability with IP54 – CMF Phone 1 was IP52. CMF Phone 2 Pro comes in four colours: White, Black, Orange and Light Green. Black and Light Green are crafted with a glass-like back that mimics a frosted glass texture and is bordered with a metallic
frame.
Refined and minimalist, White is worked with a panelled sandstone finish at the back with an authentic feel and haptics. Orange has a metallic sheen and is the boldest option of all. When designing, we’ve taken care to lend the different iterations a more sophisticated quality, in a considered step up from CMF Phone 1.

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM), the official distributor of Mitsubishi vehicles in Malaysia, and authorized dealer Millennium Autohaus Sdn Bhd opened its latest Mitsubishi Motors 3S Centre (Sales, Service & Spare Parts) in Kajang recently.
This latest expansion increases the Mitsubishi Motors dealer network to 19 3S centres in the Klang Valley. Strategically situated at Lot 1872A, Jalan Semenyih, Kajang 43500, Selangor, the new showroom is poised to cater to the growing customer base in Kajang and its surrounding areas.
Built on a 15,800 square-foot land area with a 9,600 square-foot facility, the showroom is designed to deliver a complete Mitsubishi brand experience, offering both sales and after-sales services with enhanced convenience for customers.
“We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with Millennium Autohaus through the opening of this new Mitsubishi Motors outlet in Kajang.

Have you ever fallen for an online scam? If you have, you know the feeling—frustration, anger, and that helpless “how did this happen” moment. You want to fight back, but against who? How?
The truth is, scammers have become smarter, and all it takes is one wrong click—a fake text, a suspicious link, or a shady app—to fall into their trap. But that’s where Samsung Knox Vault comes in: your quiet, behind-the-scenes defender that protects your personal data at a deep level—right down to the hardware.
What Is Samsung Knox Vault, Really?
Think of Samsung Knox Vault like a digital fortress built into your phone. It’s a combination of specialised hardware and security software that keeps your most sensitive information—like PINs, passwords, biometrics, and digital certificates—locked away in a secure space, completely isolated from the rest of the phone.
Even if an app or system is compromised, Knox Vault stands strong, keeping your private info safe from any unwanted intrusions.
Phishing Scams: A Modern Trap
Here’s a common scam scenario:
You get a message from what looks like your bank.
Unusual activity detected on your account. Click here to verify.
It feels urgent, so you click. You land on a page that looks just like your bank’s login screen, and without thinking, you type in your credentials. Boom—the scammer now has full access.
Even worse? Some links prompt you to download a seemingly innocent app that quietly steals your information behind the scenes. Unfortunately, most phones don’t have the ability to protect you after that moment of human error.
