Today at IFA 2017, HUAWEI Consumer Business Group unveiled a new era in smartphone innovation. As part of CEO Richard Yu’s keynote address, he revealed HUAWEI’s vision for the future of artificial intelligence with the launch of the Kirin 970. By combining the power of the cloud with the speed and responsiveness of native AI processing, HUAWEI is bringing AI experiences to life and changing the way we interact with our devices.
“As we look to the future of smartphones, we’re at the threshold of an exciting new era,” said Richard Yu, CEO of HUAWEI Consumer Business Group. “Mobile AI = On-Device AI + Cloud AI. HUAWEI is committed to developing smart devices into intelligent devices by building end-to-end capabilities that support coordinated development of chips, devices, and the cloud. The ultimate goal is to provide a significantly better user experience. The Kirin 970 is the first in a series of new advances that will bring powerful AI features to our devices and take them beyond the competition.”
After years of development, Cloud AI has seen broad application, but user experience still has room for improvement, including latency, stability, and privacy. Cloud AI and On-Device AI can complement each other. On-Device AI offers strong sensing capabilities, which are the foundation of understanding and assisting people. Sensors produce a large amount of real-time, scenario-specific, and personalized data. Supported by strong chip processing capabilities, devices will become more cognitive of user needs, providing truly personalized and readily accessible services.
Kirin 970 is powered by an 8-core CPU and a new generation 12-core GPU. Built using a 10nm advanced process, the chipset packs 5.5 million transistors into an area of only one cm². HUAWEI’s new flagship Kirin 970 is HUAWEI’s first mobile AI computing platform featuring a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Compared to a quad-core Cortex-A73 CPU cluster, the Kirin 970’s new heterogeneous computing architecture delivers up to 25x the performance with 50x greater efficiency. Simply put, the Kirin 970 can perform the same AI computing tasks faster and with far less power. In a benchmark image recognition test, the Kirin 970 processed 2,000 images per minute, which was faster than other chips on the market.
New developments in AI require joint effort across the entire value chain, involving tens of millions of developers, and the experience and feedback of hundreds of millions of users. HUAWEI is positioning the Kirin 970 as an open platform for mobile AI, opening up the chipset to developers and partners who can find new and innovative uses for its processing capabilities.
The Marketing & Communications team of Firefly Airlines together with their CEO, Ignatius Ong “ambushed” Subang SkyPark Terminal early this week to give away 1000 pieces of Mak’Cik KARIPAPs to all those who were at the airport.
As a way of introducing the latest complimentary refreshment that will be served on board starting 4 September 2017, the airline staff distributed the neatly packed Mak’Cik KARIPAP loaded with chicken and potatoes to all Firefly passengers & ground staff, non-Firefly passengers & ground staff, SkyPark Terminal tenants and also to the lunch crowd that was there.
It was a True Malaysian scene at the airport with the team wearing kain batik, kain pelikat, songkok, pottu and giving away the karipaps from a basket just like the good old days. Supplied by the Sydney Cake House, these karipaps are a permanent feature on all Firefly flights.
As the scene was getting intense with many passengers, especially children asking for more Mak’Cik karipap, “Who doesn’t know karipap. It’s Merdeka soon and Firefly wants you to have our all new karipap, the pride of Malaysian Kuih. We are giving out at SkyPark now, grab yours!” could be heard being announced at the back.
Ignatius Ong spoke of the Firefly customer value proposition, “We are who we preach we are and that is a #TrueMalaysian airline with incredible values and almost like a full-service carrier in terms of its premium services. Don’t worry, the Ngan Yin peanuts, muffins and cakes will still remain in the list of choices.”
“As a #TrueMalaysian airline, we need to help cultivate and spread patriotism. At the same time, to always put our values such as sharing, understanding, forgiving and many more to practice. True Malaysian airline, true Malaysian Kuih and finally a true Malaysian way of sharing in conjunction with Merdeka and Malaysia Day,” added Ong.
American stalwart Ben Askren needed less than four years to conquer ONE Championship and become the biggest star in the constantly-growing world of martial arts.
Known by the moniker “Funky,” Askren made an impact in his first two assignments in ONE Championship, submitting Bakhtiyar Abbasov with an arm-triangle choke in his May 2014 promotional debut before thwarting Nobutatsu Suzuki in the first round to claim the organization’s coveted welterweight crown three months later.Askren is coming off a spectacular first-round submission triumph over Malaysia’s Agilan “The Alligator” Thani this past May, keeping his immaculate record intact and the ONE Welterweight World Championship belt around his waist
As he has morphed into a fully formed combat sports superstar, Askren has compiled his share of intriguing statistical data.
2
For nearly seven years, a prestigious gold-plated strap has been closely associated with Askren as he has never lost a world title contest since outpointing Lyman Good for the Bellator welterweight belt in October 2010.Askren made history when he unified Bellator’s 170-pound’s top prize with the ONE Welterweight World Championship by pulling off a first-round demolition of Suzuki in August 2014.“I’ve held two belts. I’ve never lost them, and I’ve held them for a combined six years, which is a very, very long championship reign by anyone’s account,” he said,
16
Askren made the transition to mixed martial arts and has flawlessly translated his impeccable grappling skills into his growing skillset.The 33-year-old American has been perfect in competition, amassing an immaculate professional record of 16-0 with 1 no contest en route to becoming the ONE Welterweight World Champion.
“16 is the number of times I’ve stepped in the cage, and I’ve never taken a loss. I think I am one of the best in the world, and I think it also says a lot about the consistency I bring. I bring a great performance every single time I step in the cage,” Askren explained.In his eight-year run as a professional martial artist, Askren owns five submission victories and four knockout triumphs.
87
Askren is highly regarded for his outstanding wrestling background that earned him two NCAA Division I national championship trophies and the privilege to represent the United States at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.While many children were motivated to first pick up a basketball because of Michael Jordan or kick a soccer ball because of David Beckham, Askren was a little different.
Growing up in the Midwestern United States, a region traditionally known as a hotbed for amateur wrestling, Askren was motivated by the spirit of competition and wanted to participate in a sport where he could be the master of his own fate.During his illustrious college wrestling stint, Askren won 87 matches in a row, which made him one of the best grapplers in the collegiate ranks.
153
Askren finished his collegiate wrestling career with a record of 153–8, with 91 of those victories coming by way of fall. Those 91 pins put him at third on the all-time NCAA Division I pins list.Even though there are many combat practices in mixed martial arts, Askren stands firm on the notion that wrestling is the most vital discipline in the sport.
Wrestling has been often regarded as the best foundation in the sport as numerous wrestlers transitioned easily into the sport, including Randy Couture, Dan Henderson, Daniel Cormier and Frankie Edgar.Throughout the course of the sport’s history, wrestlers have shared the cage with other practitioners on numerous occasions.In the current state of the sport, wrestling has become a necessary requirement for combatants to extensively learn.
“If you’re going to ask a lot of the mixed martial artists, they’re going to say that wrestling is the number one martial art to learn,” Askren stated.
108,000
Askren is universally recognized as one of the best welterweights today and one of the best professional martial artists in the world pound-for-pound.The undefeated ONE Welterweight World Champion has been all over the globe, competing in countries such as the United States, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and the Philippines.Since being part of the ONE Championship roster, Askren has travelled 108,000 kilometers for the promotion’s blockbuster events.
“I really enjoy travelling. My trips to Asia have been a pleasure for me. I always enjoy seeing new cultures and learning new things,” Askren stressed.
Askren will be entering a new territory on Saturday, 2 September when he defends his ONE Welterweight World Championship against Swedish contender Zebaztian “The Bandit” Kadestam in the main event of ONE CHAMPIONSHIP: SHANGHAI, which takes place at the 15,000-capacity Shanghai Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai, China.

When smartphones first came of age in the mid-2000s, techies probably resigned themselves for a future of futuristic looking mobiles. To communicate quality and stature, these devices were virtual clones, with sleek surfaces of glass, metal or plastic, presented in monochromatic shades. Fast forward to today however, colours are making a comeback in a big way!
Whether it was to break the sheer monotony of black and white or the realisation that premium customers also appreciate a pop of colour in their favourite devices, manufacturers have made waves by introducing colours as part of their smartphone’s design language – though initially in relatively muted shades; soft pinks and pale golds come to mind.
And then along came HUAWEI.
P10 – 8 Eye-popping Colours
HUAWEI’s P10 series has certainly proven itself to be the bellwether in how beauty and performance are not mutually exclusive in smartphones. In addition to sporting a game-changing dual camera setup co-engineered with Leica, HUAWEI’s flagship series has also been updated with an array of eye popping colours.
Two of these in particular (Dazzling Blue and Greenery) are a standout, in that they were developed collaboratively with yet another industry giant – the Pantone Colour Institute. Matched with specific wallpapers created to complement the handset’s body, HUAWEI’s P10 puts paid to an unspoken convention that style and quality has to be understated.
Shades of Greenery
Making colours a prominent part of a smartphone’s design language helps to elevate the device’s purpose, which is to communicate. Specifically, Greenery (Pantone’s colour of the year for 2017) was selected to communicate its users need “to revitalise and renew” – recalling the experience of restoring and replenishing yourself by reconnecting with the beauty of the natural world.
HUAWEI is always looking to elevate customer experience with its devices – be it through industry defining camera photography or superior user performance. It stands to reason that we would also look to redefining the design language of today’s smartphones in order to better improve our customer’s experience with our products. HUAWEI’s collaboration with the Pantone Colour Institute underscores this very commitment and is confident that colours will come to be one of the few key critical factors that will help influence a smartphone user’s purchase decision.
Elevating Smartphone Design to New Artistic Heights
Since its launch earlier this year, the P10 series has outperformed its predecessor in terms of sales (shifting twice the sales volume in half the time compared to the P9 series last year in Malaysia alone). While credited mostly to the enthusiastic response to its dual camera co-engineered with Leica – Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 and Leica Dual-Camera 2.0 Pro Edition, the introduction of colours to HUAWEI’s flagship series may yet see uptake for the P10 series soar to even greater heights.
Misi berjaya dicapai! Hos Jejak Terer berjaya memperoleh sejumlah RM52,702 untuk lima buah rumah anak-anak yatim susulan kejayaan mereka berbasikal sejauh lebih 500 kilometer dari Kuala Lumpur sehingga ke Langkawi dalam tempoh lima hari selaku usaha mengumpul dana kebajikan disokong oleh penyedia perkhidmatan e-Kerajaan terbesar Malaysia, MY E.G Services Berhad.
Eksperimen sosial unik ini ditayangkan di program travelog waktu sebenar, Jejak Terer dan disiarkan di laman online gaya hidup dan platform strim video Malaysia, hurr.tv bermula 19 Ogos hingga 23 Ogos 2017. Dua hos, Mior Luqman Hakim atau lebih dikenali sebagai Myo Oh Chentaku dan Zahir Zainuddin mula berbasikal dari Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur sehingga ke Dataran Lang, Pulau Langkawi tanpa sebarang wang dan hanya berbekalkan makanan yang terhad serta telefon bimbit. Sepanjang perjalanan, mereka hanya bergantung kepada ihsan orang ramai dan peminat yang memberikan sumbangan makanan serta tempat tinggal dan sebagai balasan mereka perlu melakukan sesuatu sebagai tanda berterima kasih.
Hari pertama menyaksikan Myo dan Zahir mula melakukan kayuhan tepat jam 7 pagi dari Dataran Merdeka. Perjalanan diteruskan sehingga ke Sungai Buloh sebelum mereka berhenti di Kuala Selangor dan membantu peniaga berhampiran berniaga untuk mendapatkan minuman penghilang dahaga. 100 kilometer pertama berjaya dicapai di Sekinchan. Ihsan Mak Edah, mereka berdua mendapat tempat berehat dan menamatkan perjalanan bagi hari pertama.
Perjalanan hari kedua menyaksikan Myo dan Zahir menuju ke Sungai Besar di mana mereka bertemu dengan Pak Jamal yang menyediakan makanan tengahari kepada mereka setelah membantu menyiram tumbuhan di sekitar rumahnya. Kayuhan diteruskan sehingga ke Teluk Intan. Melepaskan lelah di Menara Condong Teluk Intan, mereka dihampiri peminat yang mengikuti siaran langsung perkembangan mereka dari semasa ke semasa dengan bekalan makanan dan minuman. Terus bernasib baik, mereka dapat bermalam di rumah individu bernama Dhia. Sebagai balasan atas budi baik Dhia dan keluarga, Myo dan Zahir membantu membasuh pinggan dan memotong buah.
Pada hari ketiga, duo berkenaan berjaya mencapai jarak 200 kilometer di Kampung Gajah dari Teluk Intan. Perjalanan mereka kemudiannya menemui masalah apabila Zahir kehilangan jejak Myo. Meneruskan kayuhan selepas bertemu semula, mereka berdua terlibat dalam kemalangan menyebabkan Myo mengalami kecederaan di bahagian bahunya dan terpaksa dikejarkan ke hospital. Misi perlu diteruskan. Zahir menggalas tanggungjawab dengan berkayuh secara solo sehingga ke Trong dan berjaya mencapai jarak 300 kilometer. Mereka bermalam di Taiping di rumah peminat bernama Hanif. Sebagai balasan atas ihsan Hanif, mereka melakukan kerja-kerja rumah antaranya membasuh pinggan dan pakaian.
Perjalanan hari keempat bermula dari Taiping dan setibanya di Simpang Ampat, Pulau Pinang mereka berjaya merekodkan jarak sejauh 400 kilometer. Berehat seketika di Permatang Pauh, mereka berdua menolong peniaga jalanan yang menjual aneka kuih untuk mendapatkan minuman dan makanan. Meneruskan kayuhan sehingga ke Sungai Petani, mereka bermalam di rumah kenalan lama Myo, Haziq. Sebagai tanda berterima kasih, Myo menyanyikan lagu terbaharunya kepada Haziq dan rakan-rakan. Mereka turut menikmati makan malam barbeku yang disediakan.
Kayuhan terakhir di hari kelima! Duo berkenaan memulakan cabaran berbasikal dari Sungai Petani sehingga ke Gunung Jerai. Hanya berbaki 10 kilometer ke Kuala Kedah, namun keadaan angin yang kuat melambatkan kayuhan mereka. Setibanya di Kuala Kedah mereka berdepan cabaran untuk mendapatkan tiket feri ke Pulau Langkawi tanpa sebarang wang. Ihsan orang awam yang membelikan tiket feri, mereka akhirnya selamat tiba di Pulau Langkawi dan berjaya menamatkan misi berkenaan!
Lima hari penuh keringat yang sangat bermakna kepada Myo dan Zahir. Pengalaman mereka berjaya menemukan orang ramai dan peminat yang sentiasa menyokong dan membantu mereka sekaligus membuktikan bahawa rakyat Malaysia terdiri daripada warga prihatin dan berhati mulia.
Sebagai penaja utama program, MY E.G Services Berhad akan menyumbangkan sejumlah RM10,000 bagi setiap 100 kilometer kayuhan dicapai dan menggandakan derma yang diterima oleh orang ramai sepanjang program ini berlangsung. Hasilnya, sejumlah RM52,702 telah berjaya dikumpul dan akan diserahkan kepada lima rumah anak-anak yatim terpilih iaitu Rumah Kebajikan Anak Yatim Alkhairiyah, Rumah Amal Cahaya Kasih Bestari, Rumah Anak Yatim & Hidayah Al-Hijrah, Rumah Kasih Nurul Hasanah dan Rumah Anak-Anak Yatim At-Taqwa.

Ahmad Izham Omar, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Primeworks Studios, yang juga salah seorang juri tayangan HACTION! berkata, “Kandungan kreatif sentiasa menjadi komponen utama dalam membina perkaitan jenama dalam kalangan penonton termasuklah generasi milenial pada hari ini. Masih terdapat banyak cerita menarik yang boleh disampaikan dalam pertandingan ini menggunakan pengalaman sebuah negara yang merdeka sejak enam dekad yang lalu serta kepelbagaian budaya yang ada dalam kalangan rakyat”.
6 Dekad, 6 Cerita, 6 Pembuat Filem
Dengan pencapaian selama lebih 60 tahun, Malaysia muncul sebagai contoh terbaik sebuah negara yang berbilang kaum dan budaya serta memiliki pelbagai jenis makanan, bahasa dan kebudayaan. Sempena meraikan Hari Kemerdekaan Malaysia yang ke-60, HACTION! mengumpulkan enam orang pembuat filem untuk merakamkan saat-saat terbaik Malaysia menerusi lensa kamera mereka.
En. Muto berkata, “Kamera digital telah mengubah dunia fotografi dan membolehkan lebih ramai orang menggunakannya serta mewujudkan lebih ramai bakat baru. Industri kamera sentiasa mencari pembaharuan dan kamera tanpa cermin kini menjadi trend di Malaysia, dengan penerbitan video semakin popular dan standard sinematografi juga turut menjadi semakin tinggi.”
“Bagi kami, perkongsian ini merupakan platform yang terbaik untuk melatih para pembuat filem tempatan dalam menghasilkan cerita yang menarik secara visual dan pada masa yang sama mempamerkan keupayaan LUMIX GH5”, tambah En. Muto.

Martin “The Situ-Asian” Nguyen completed his climb to the top of ONE Championship’s competitive 70.3-kilogram weight class by clinching a prestigious martial arts gold against a fierce Russian rival.
The 28-year-old Australian standout knocked out the previously unbeaten Marat “Cobra” Gafurov in their rematch and laid claim to the featherweight crown in the main event of ONE: QUEST FOR GREATNESS last Friday, 18 August at the iconic Stadium Negara in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.Recognizing an opening, Nguyen countered Gafurov’s low kick with an overhand right that knocked out the Dagestani grappler at the center of the ONE Championship cage.
The newly-minted ONE Featherweight World Champion achieved one of his dreams by becoming a world champion in astounding fashion.However, the sweet victory was about more than just the belt for Nguyen, instead it was all for his family.Nguyen may have been a menace during his adolescence, but he never had to look far to find inspiration and set himself on the right path. For him, it was right at home and came in the form of the man he called “dad.”
“My dad worked hard just for us to get by. We were not the richest family, and we were not as poor as other people out here, but we got by. He was my sole inspiration to work hard, just the way he was able to provide for his family,” he said.
While Nguyen’s father was not particularly fond of his son stepping into the cage, he watched with a keen eye and supported him nonetheless.In July 2012, Nguyen made his professional debut and proved to be quite the talent as soon as the bell rang.Nguyen was flawless, winning every bout en route to capturing the BRACE featherweight championship belt in November 2013. Like a good son, he brought the belt to his father shortly after winning it.
“My dad looked at it. He was all happy and taking pictures with it. It was awesome,” he recalled. “And then he said, ‘Alright, you got the belt now. Enough. Just call it quits.’ No parent likes to see their child getting injured in a match or anything like that, so he said, ‘Enough now. No more.’”
Sadly, it was the last thing Nguyen’s father said to him with regard to his professional martial arts career as his dad tragically passed away just a few weeks later.
His father had undergone a bone marrow transplant so he could get more white blood cells into his body. The procedure was initially a success, but the healing process taking longer than usual.
As doctors were preparing to do more testing, Nguyen’s father contracted the flu, and that eventually turned into pneumonia and took his life.
“I never experienced any hardship or heartbreak until then, and I will never forget that day. He was in Melbourne at that time, so I flew into Melbourne to see him. Everything was happening so fast, and then he was gone. I did not even get to speak to him, and there are a lot of things I wish I could have said to him. It was heartbreaking,” Nguyen shared.
Nearly four years later, Nguyen still carries the loss of his father like an anchor around his neck.Even though Nguyen is constantly reminded of his dad, he knows that his world-title winning performance was a fitting way to pay tribute to him.With tears streaming from his eyes, Nguyen kneeled at the center of the ONE Championship cage, basking in the adulation poured upon him.While the sought-after belt is draped over his shoulder, Nguyen expressed a wondrous rhetoric in his post-bout interview.
“This is for my dad. He was my inspiration for the whole camp when I mentally broke. (He and) the boys kept me together,” he stated.
Two days after accomplishing the monumental victory and claiming the No. 1 status in ONE Championship’s stacked featherweight division, Nguyen visited his grave with the belt.
“I am doing this all for him. One big title to put the icing on the cake,” he said. “It’s the only thing I wanted to do once I got home. I hope he is so proud right now.”
