Ungu Yakin Konsert Malam Raya Haji Dapat Sambutan | Band popular Indonesia, Ungu yakin konsert yang bakal diadakan pada 23 September ini akan dipenuhi peminat setia mereka meskipun hari konsert berkenaan jatuh pada malam raya Aidiladha. Konsert yang diberi nama Konsert Ungu Mozaik Tour 2015 itu akan berlangsung di Mega Star Arena Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur jam 8 malam.  

Bercakap pada sidang media sempena konsert tersebut, Pasha berkata, setelah dua tahun tidak mengadakan konsrt di Malaysia, mereka kembali dan teruja untuk menghiburkan peminat.

“Kami yakin, peminat akan memenuhi konsert kami meskipun malam itu malam raya. Saya harap konsert kami ini nanti akan berjalan lancar. 

“Sudah 10 tahun kami aktif di Malaysia dan ia bukan sesuatu yang senang untuk kami bermain muzik dan berkarya jika tiada sokongan daripada pihak syarikat rakaman dan juga peminat-peminat kami di sini. 

“”Mengadakan konsert di Malaysia adalah saat yang kami sentiasa nanti-nantikan. Kali terakhir kami adakan konsert pada dua tahun lalu. Kali ini kami teruja untuk kembali menghiburkan peminat,” katanya yang mewakili anggota lain iatu terduri daripada Enda, Onci, Makki dan Rowman.

Menjanjikan persembahan lebih daripada 15 lagu, termasuk lama dan baharu, selain itu Ungu akan turut berduet bersama Stacy mendedangkan lagu berjudul Berteman Sepi. Juga lagu Ku Pinang Kau Dengan Bismillah berduet dengan pendatang baru Wanie Kayrie.

Selain di Kuala Lumpur, Ungu juga akan menemui peminat menerusi showcase di CityOne Mall, Kuching, Sarawak dan South Autrium One Borneo Hypermall, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Sementara itu, mengulas mengenai dakwaan ungu bakal dibubarkan ekoran Pasha kini sudah terjun ke dunia politik, salah seorang lagi anggotanya iaitu Makki berkata, dakwaan itu sama sekali tidak benar. 

“Bukan pembubaran. Kami sudah bersama-sama dalam dunia muzik hampir 20 tahun. Tetapi dalam tempoh itu ada di antara kami yang punya agenda dan keinginan tersendiri.

“Jadi sekarang, Ungu hanya melaksanakan hal-hal yang belum pernah kami lakukan sebelum ini.

“Pasha dengan dunia politiknya, sementara Enda dan Onci juga punya projek berdua. Ungu pula baru menubuhkan produksi dan merancang untuk mengambil artis-artis Malaysia juga Indonesia sebagai artis naungan kami, kelak,” katanya. 

honor 7 empowers Malaysians to outperform | Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider (the world’s top 3 smartphone vendor), today launched its latest Huawei honor 7 smartphone at The Bee, Publika. With the slogan ‘Your unfair advantage’, honor highlights that its new, fully metallic flagship device comes equipped with a host of innovative smart functions and multimedia capabilities that will help Malaysians excel in their life. One very important feature of the honor 7 smartphone is that all these capabilities can be unlocked by using smart buttons and a gesture-enabled fingerprint reader.

Speaking at the launch, Allen An, Director of E-Commerce Malaysia, said: “Developed to make operating it as simple as possible, the honor 7’s solid performance will be a true reflection of user’s identity. Its multi-functionality enables digital natives – especially young working adults – to outperform their peers no matter if it is at work or leisure. Its smart and multimedia capabilities will also inspire action and creativity that will surprises everybody in their circles.”

“The device’s precise dimensions and metallic finish offer an optimal form-factor and premium feel, making it a highly reliable smartphone. All of these will allow digital natives to keep their competitive edge in today’s fast paced society,” An added.

Established in April 2014, honor Malaysia strives to unleash the maximum potentials of Malaysians and help them to discover their best self beyond any expectation by bringing revolutionary devices to the market. In line of this pursuit, it constantly seeks feedback from its users, of which will be factored in the development of upcoming products to meet the demands.

Solid metallic build with ergonomic single-handed design

The honor 7’s fully metallic body is air-brushed with a ceramic coating, offering an unmistakably premium finish. The device’s ergonomic 5.2-inch encasing and carefully positioned buttons and sensors meanwhile allows for ergonomic single-handed operation like never before.

Smarter fingerprint technology that speaks to users’ needs

The honor 7’s frame-free metallic fingerprint reader allows for rapid 360-degree fingerprint authentication from various angles and even boasts a self-learning capability that allows scanning accuracy to be enhanced through the subtle re-recording of registered fingerprints during use. The reader also supports intuitive gesture control that enables users to do everything from answer calls to take photos.

Performance capabilities and tuning for the constantly connected

Powered by the ever-intelligent HiSilicon octa-core Kirin 935 processor with its A53 and punchy 3GB RAM and 16GB ROM offering, the honor 7 has the muscle to offer consistently smooth performance. Its L-shaped circuit board meanwhile eliminates the possibility of overheating.

Coupled with a long-lasting 3,100mAh battery, which offers exceptional standby and use times as well as reverse and quick-charging capabilities, the honor 7 is the ideal companion for the always-on and -active.

Multimedia might to unleash your inner creative

The honor 7’s superior multimedia capabilities are facilitated in part by its 20 MP rear-facing camera, which is powered by a Sony IMX 230 sensor and honor’s PDAF fast-focusing technology that allows its f/2.0-aperture lens to capture strikingly vivid low-light-condition images. The 8MP front-facing camera meanwhile offers a wide-angle f/2.4 aperture lens and built-in LED flash.

Intuitive design and smart functionality

Built to redefine mobile Internet experiences, the honor 7 offers exceptional smart capabilities aided in part by its smart key, an additional button placed on the left-side of the device that can be used for snappy Google searches on-the-go. The equally well placed fingerprint reader on the back of the device meanwhile also functions as a camera trigger, enabling users to take selfies without having to reorient the honor 7.

For added convenience, the device features more voice capabilities, such as the ability to be woken up with a designated command, like “Dear honor”. Follow that up with a “where are you” and the device will call the user to find out its location. The honor 7 also makes taking screenshots easier with its knuckle-tap feature that allow users to tap the screen twice with their knuckles for an instant full-screen capture.

The honor 7 will be available in two colors, Mystery Gray and Fantasy Silver for RM1,399. Pre-orders will be available to the public at Vmall.my from September 22^nd, 12.00am onwards.

The Malaysia Fashion Week (MFW) 2015 got off to a grand start over the weekend at the annual international showcase of the Mercedes Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week to a host of global guests, trade and media audiences at the Maison De L’Amerique Latine, Paris. Malaysia’s national trade promotion agency MATRADE (Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation) in partnership with STYLO International (Malaysia’s leading fashion event organiser) and Mercedes-Benz Malaysia unveiled the second MFW with a select list of seven Malaysian names and two of Asia’s established fashion stars as part of the Global Launch event.

MFW 2015 happening on 4 to 7 November in Kuala Lumpur will feature the Spring/Summer 2016 collection of over 60 Malaysian designers at its Malaysia Fashion Showcase and over 30 international designers at its Mercedes-Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week together with an exhibition of over 300 booths of Malaysian and International businesses of fashion apparels, accessories, cosmetics and personal care as well as textile.

The MFW 2015 Global Launch is an intimate initiation to the fashion event, which happens from 4 to 7 November, and Kuala Lumpur as an up and coming fashion destination. Eight designers brought runway style through collections that pulsed with sculptural and sharp-edged silhouettes, chic traditional wear and whimsical totes, generating immense interest amongst the invite-only guests, which included French media, fashion influencers and International buyers. Malaysia’s beloved shoe couturier extraordinaire Datuk Professor Jimmy Choo, who is Honorary Advisor to MFW, was the Guest of Honour. Also present were Mr Florian Muller, Director General of Mercedes-Benz Retail France and Mr Roland Folger, President and CEO of Mercedes Benz Malaysia.

Director General of Mercedes-Benz Retail France, Mr Florian Muller said at the Global Launch, “Mercedes-Benz is pleased to join hands with our Malaysian office in playing host to the global launch of Malaysia Fashion Week. Reinforcing our inexorable support of the fashion industry, we are pleased to bring together two fashion cities of the East and West through this fashion exchange.”

As part of the launch initiative, an international exhibition took place 20 and 21 September 2015 at the Mercedes-Benz Gallery, situated at the famed Champs-Elysees, complete with an elaborate display of each designer’s brand and collection. The MFW team brought in more than 60 top French buyers such as Galerie La Fayette and Printempts to personally meet and discover each one of the nine designers and brands, namely Bon Zainal, Fairuz Ramdan, Illiza Ho, Porosus, Blancheur, Royal Selangor Pewter, Von Jolly Couture together with Ali Charisma (Indonesia) and Avel Bacudio (Philippines) – a previous winner of Asia’s Most Influential Designer Award at the Mercedes Benz Stylo Asia Fashion Week 2013. The Global Launch is an ideal platform to promote some of Malaysia’s leading fashion talents, while creating boundless business opportunities for industry players.

Chairman of MATRADE, Datuk Noraini Ahmad, who was present at the Global Launch, quoted, “ As Malaysia’s national trade promotion agency, MATRADE is pleased to introduce a talented list of designers to a wider, more international audience enticed by what Malaysia and Asia have to offer. We recognise the global launch as an integral segment towards promoting MFW 2015 and invite global trade buyers to Kuala Lumpur for the event.”

President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, Mr Roland Folger echoed the Chairman’s remarks. “Paris – the epicentre of fashion is the perfect launch pad for young Asian designers to the rest of Europe. Mercedes-Benz has long believed in fostering events that showcase creative excellence in fashion and design, innovation and inspiration.” he said.

Participating designers were meticulously selected based on their international appeal and their finesse in capturing the Asian essence through their brand and collection.

Co-Chairman of MFW 2015 & Chairman of Mercedes-Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week Datuk Nancy Yeoh said, “While many designers are in London right now, we took the strategy to showcase in Paris instead ahead of its fashion week. Otherwise it would be too easy to miss us by next week when the world descends on the global fashion capital of the world”

She further added, “The ground-breaking nature of the fashion we will be showcasing at this year’s MFW will culminate in the prestigious Mercedes-Benz STYLO Asia Fashion Week, which is developing into one of the region’s most sought after event. The Mercedes-Benz Stylo Asia Fashion Week (MBStyloAFW) Awards is a chance of a lifetime for Asian designers to be recognised beyond their borders. It promises to be more iconic and revolutionary than ever at the closing of MFW 2015.”

Penny Tan, Pengarah Pemasaran Saluran Antarabangsa FOX (FIC) berkata “Kempen ‘Same Day as The U.S.’ merupakan usaha terkini dan ia membuktikan komitmen FIC untuk penonton setia kami. FOXHD, Starworld dan FXHD akan membawakan 9 program segera termasuklah siri pilihan penonton THE WALKING DEAD Musim Ke-6 dan siri baru seperti HEROES REBORN di FOX dan Crazy Ex-Girlfriend di STAR WORLD – membolehkan penonton kami mengikuti rancangan kegemaran mereka pada hari yang sama dengan tayangan perdana di Amerika Syarikat menerusi keselesaan menonton program-program ini melalui pengalaman tontonan hebat bersama Astro”.

“ Penantian kini sudah berakhir. Awal tahun ini, tayangan perdana siri asal HBO dan CINEMAX disiarkan di Asia serentak dengan waktu siarannya di Amerika Syarikat. Ini dapat membantu mengelak cetak rompak dan peminat rancangan-rancangan yang memenangi pelbagai anugerah ini tidak akan lagi terkesan dan terganggu oleh khabar angin yang mereka baca di media sosial,” kata Magdalene Ew, Ketua Pemasaran, Kreatif dan Kandungan, HBO Asia. “HBO adalah saluran pertama di Malaysia yang menawarkan tayangan serentak siri asal dari Amerika Syarikat bermula tahun ini menerusi Game of Thrones diikuti musim terbaru Silicon Valley, Veep, True Detective, Ballers dan The Brink. The Letfovers Musim Kedua bakal bersiaran serentak dengan waktu siarannya di Amerika Syarikat pada 5 Oktober jam 9 pagi di HBO dan siaran ulangan perdananya pada petang hari yang sama.

“Ellen bukan sahaja wajah yang sudah sinonim dengan Lifetime tetapi juga pilihan tepat untuk mewakili saluran Lifetime dengan gayanya yang menyeronokkan, dekat di hati, serba boleh dan benar-benar menyentuh perasaan. Bukan sahaja kita menampilkan musim terbaru Ellen setiap minggu di Lifetime, kita juga menyiarkannya Same Day as the U.S.”, kata Michele Schofield, Naik Presiden Kanan, Pemasaran dan Program, A+E Networks Asia.
