The HUAWEI WiFi Q2 features a dynamic interplay of advanced hardware and software to boost speed, reliability, and range; delivers full-coverage wireless connectivity that’s simple to set up; and guarantees a stable signal throughout the entire home.
“We are streaming more content than ever before, more music, more movies, and more social media on more connected devices, which makes fast and reliable Wi-Fi an essential need,” said Richard Yu, CEO, HUAWEI Consumer Business Group. “The HUAWEI WiFi Q2 offers today’s families a hybrid whole home Wi-Fi system with a reliable, flexible solution that expands Wi-Fi throughout our homes.”
Current home Wi-Fi Systems depend heavily on the shape and size of home, and even on the location of the power sockets to efficiently transmit signal. In addition, cumbersome installation and configuration processes can create unnecessary complications for most consumers.

HUAWEI WiFi Q2 addresses those setbacks through a mesh Wi-Fi with a unique G.hn gigabit PLC module, which can easily traverse walls and break physical barriers. HUAWEI WiFi Q2 also features an easily installation and configuration process, able to set up the main unit in five steps and enjoying plug-and-play connectivity for all sub-units.

In addition, the HUAWEI WiFi Q2 covers the same area with less units, and can easily support up to 192 connected devices simultaneously with a complete system.
HUAWEI WiFi Q2_3 pack · Hybrid
Perfect for estate or large homes, HUAWEI WiFi Q2 blankets every corner of the home with seamless Wi-Fi coverage. Designed to support up to 16 hot spots, users can add additional satellites that automatically connects to the network to expand coverage without the need for set up or configurations.
By having a single Wi-Fi network in the entire home, the HUAWEI WiFi Q2 is able to offer 100ms switching time (with 802.11v protocol), meaning the system automatically connects users to the fastest hot spots and frequency for the smoothest connected experience, even when on the go.
Engineered for utmost security, HUAWEI WiFI Q2 adds an anti-brute force algorithm to prevent outside and unwanted access to the network to complement Wi-Fi encryption and password protection.

It has been an exciting year for Honda and the outstanding results we achieved would not have been possible without the strong support of all Malaysians and the Malaysian Government.”
“Reflectively, we are pleased to note that with the maturing Malaysian market, customers responded well to the various Next Generation Advanced Technologies we introduced such as Honda SENSING, Turbo and Sport Hybrid i-DCD. The Sport Hybrid i-DCD made history during their introductions as Malaysia is the only country outside of Japan to introduce the technology.
It was also the most affordable Hybrid to be introduced in the market. Honda was also the first brand to introduce the SENSING technology into mass models such as the CR-V and New Accord. Ultimately, we strive to bring the joy of ownership to all our customers,” concluded Ishiyama.
Moving forward towards the next milestone, Honda Malaysia will strive to provide high-quality products and excellent after-sales service that continues to exceed customers’ expectations.

Mah Sing Achieves RM1.8 billion sales in 2017, targets similar success in 2018 with minimum RM1.8 billion sales by launching more affordably priced homes in strategic locations.
MAH Sing Group (Mah Sing) announced that it achieved RM1.8 billion sales for year 2017 during a media briefing at Invest Malaysia 2018 (IMKL) in Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur. The Group targets similar success in 2018 with a minimum of RM1.8 billion sales target by launching more well-planned mass market residential projects priced below RM500,000 with good concepts in strategic locations.
Mah Sing launched the Reinvent Affordability campaign in 2H2017 which focuses on developing quality homes in strategic locations at an affordable price. The Group looks into reinventing innovative layouts, providing quality and generous facilities with high security as well as central location surrounded by amenities and convenience.
(Left to right) Mah Sing’s Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Ho Hon Sang, Mah Sing’s Group Managing Director, Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum and Mah Sing’s Executive Director, Dato’ Steven Ng Group Corporate and Investment, Dato’ Steven Ng at Mah Sing Group’s booth at Invest Malaysia 2018 in Shangri-La Hotel KL.
Mah Sing’s Group Managing Director, Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum shared, “StarProperty.com’s survey showed that pricing and location remains as top influencing factors when it comes to purchasing a home.
We want to address these 2 concerns with our Reinvent Affordability campaign. Compared to neighbouring countries, we are offering value buy products such as M Vertica in Cheras which is only 500m away from MRT and LRT and only 4.5km from the city. Priced from RM450,800, the 3 to 4 bedroom homes from 850sf is something that homebuyers want and is able to afford. In fact, 74% of our target sales in 2018 is priced below RM500,000.”
He also commented that in 2017, many talked about the overhang conditions in Malaysia. “We believe this is due to mismatch in terms of location and pricing. Demand for properties in strategic location and right pricing continues to be strong. This can be seen at the preview of our M Centura in Sentul (from RM328,000), Fern in Meridin East, Johor (from RM410,550) and M Vista in Southbay, Penang (from RM345,800) which recorded a good take up rate of more than 95% over a weekend.”
As of 30 September 2017, the Group recorded a healthy balance sheet which provides opportunities to pursue more land banking. Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Leong shared, “In 2017, we have acquired 2 lands in Klang Valley and 1 land in Penang which adds up to Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM3.65billion.
We currently have a remaining landbank of 2,131 acres and Remaining GDV and unbilled sales of RM28.3 billion which will sustain the company’s growth for the next 8 years. We will continue to be active in our land acquisitions, armed with our healthy balance sheet.”
Strong financial track records with 14% return on equity for 5-year average (above comparable peers with 9%) and 49% asset turnover over 5-year average (above comparable peers with 24%).
Target to increase land banks in the Klang Valley to 75% from the current 66% in the next two years.
Looking at land banks in prime locations that fit into our business strategy such as favourable payment terms.
As affordable properties are main focus of the Group, the lands to be acquired must be suitable for immediate launch of affordable range of properties.
According to StarProperty.com survey, 57.21% people want their first home to be in Klang Valley and more than half of them prefer Greater KL.
Klang Valley also recorded the highest household income in 2016 currently has a population of 8.1million. This shows that our strategy to focus our developments in Klang Valley is in the right direction to cater to market demand.
Tan Sri Leong said, “We envision our projects to be sustainable developments that stems from population growth, interconnectivity of society, transportation, facilities and economy. We put our best effort in ensuring our buyers can benefit from convenience and value appreciation of our developments in the long run.”
The new Southville City Direct Interchange which will be open for use in Q1 2018 allows access into Southville City directly from KL-Seremban Highway, which is estimated to be 1.2km from the highway exit. Southville City will be only 19km drive away from KL city as opposed to the previous 25km distance.
Mah Sing is developing a connecting road into the Tanjung Langsat – Cahaya Baru Toll Connecting Highway, which forms part of the Senai Desaru Expressway. This shortens travel time to key locations such as Tanjung Langsat and Pasir Gudang between 15 minutes to 45 minutes.
The Group has also allocated approximately 9.66 acres to build SJK (C) Sim Mow Yu within the township. The school will be a good addition for homeowners, especially married couples and young families.
Property Outlook in 2018
Tan Sri Leong shared, “Although the current property market is affected by weak sentiments, the healthy Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, strengthening of Ringgit and higher oil prices will continue to support the property market in the longer term.”
Malaysia recorded improving GDP with an estimate of 5.2%-5.7% for 2017, compared to 4.3%-4.8% expected earlier.
GDP growth for 2018 is forecasted to be as resilient as it was in 2017.
Ringgit has stabilised further towards the end of 2017 and likely to continue in 2018.
Supported by Malaysia’s young demographic and growing population. HSBC Housing Survey 2017, 94% Malaysian millennials does not own a property but intending to buy in the next five years.
Continued development of public transportation systems that include LRT, MRT and KL-SG High Speed Rail.
Long-term demand will continue to be strong for property buyers who are buying to own or buying for long-term investment. Property as an investment asset remains one of the safest form of investment and a good hedge against inflation.
Mah Sing’s Planned Launches in 2018
Mah Sing will continue its Reinventing Affordability campaign coupled with innovative marketing initiatives such as Arts & Lights which had received over 50,000 visitors for its first venue in Icon City, Petaling Jaya.
