The latest range is designed to offer greater accessibility, improved driving range, faster charging capabilities, and an enhanced ownership experience for Malaysian motorists.

    The launch reflects BYD’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia. The introduction of the Dynamic variant provides a more affordable entry point into the SEALION 7 family, while the Premium and Performance variants receive larger battery capacities and faster DC charging capabilities. These enhancements allow drivers to travel further on a single charge while spending less time at charging stations.

    Since making its Malaysian debut in 2024, the BYD SEALION 7 has become the country’s best-selling D-Segment Electric SUV in 2025, with more than 6,300 units delivered nationwide.

He noted that the new Dynamic variant, together with the enhanced Premium and Performance models, further strengthens the SEALION 7’s position as a flagship electric SUV by combining performance, technology, practicality, and distinctive design.

She highlighted the company’s growing nationwide presence, which now includes 44 sales and marketing outlets, 28 aftersales facilities, and 12 body and paint centres. The recent introduction of the BYD Certified Pre-Owned Programme, including the first BYD Certified showroom in the Asia-Pacific region, further demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing customers with greater peace of mind throughout their ownership journey.

    The new Dynamic variant features rear-wheel drive with 170 kW of power, 380 Nm of torque, a driving range of up to 520 km (NEDC), and a 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.3 seconds.

  • Madu Atau Racun Tayang 14 Ogos 2026, Drama Poligami Sarat Emosi di iQIYI

    Madu Atau Racun Tayang 14 Ogos 2026, Drama Poligami Sarat Emosi di iQIYI

    Sebuah kisah yang bermula dengan kebencian akhirnya bertukar menjadi hubungan yang tidak disangka-sangka. Itulah inti pati yang dibawakan menerusi drama iQIYI Original Madu Atau Racun, sebuah siri romantik penuh konflik, emosi dan rahsia yang bakal ditayangkan secara eksklusif bermula 14 Ogos 2026.

    Drama arahan Eyra Rahman ini mengangkat kisah kehidupan dalam perkahwinan poligami yang bukan sekadar memaparkan perebutan kasih sayang, malah menyelami tema pengorbanan, trauma, pengkhianatan serta ikatan luar biasa yang terjalin antara dua wanita yang pada awalnya dianggap musuh.

    Menurut Pengarah Urusan Kanan iQIYI Asia Tenggara, Dinesh Ratnam, iQIYI akan terus komited menghasilkan lebih banyak karya tempatan yang dekat dengan hati penonton Malaysia.

    Beliau berkata, sesebuah cerita yang baik bukan sahaja mampu menghiburkan, malah boleh mencetuskan perbualan serta membuka ruang kepada penonton untuk melihat sesuatu daripada perspektif yang berbeza.

    Katanya, Madu Atau Racun bukan sekadar berkisar mengenai poligami, tetapi merupakan perjalanan dua wanita yang terpaksa berkongsi kehidupan sambil berdepan pelbagai konflik yang menguji persepsi mereka terhadap satu sama lain.

    Beliau turut berharap penonton mengikuti setiap episod dengan fikiran terbuka kerana setiap episod akan membongkar sisi baharu yang mampu mengubah tanggapan terhadap setiap watak.

    Drama terbitan MIG Production Sdn. Bhd. ini menampilkan Aliff Aziz sebagai Adli, Uqasha Senrose sebagai Azura dan Elisya Sandha sebagai Nikita. Gabungan tiga pelakon ini dijangka mampu menghidupkan konflik serta emosi yang menjadi tunjang utama jalan cerita.

    Bagi Eyra Rahman, setiap karya mempunyai identitinya yang tersendiri walaupun tema seperti curang, poligami dan konflik rumah tangga sering dipaparkan dalam drama tempatan.

    Menurutnya, setiap pelakon membawa tafsiran yang berbeza terhadap watak masing-masing, sekali gus membentuk identiti unik sesebuah naskhah melalui persembahan mereka.

    Beliau juga percaya kejayaan sesebuah drama bukan hanya bergantung kepada populariti pelakon atau jalan cerita semata-mata, sebaliknya bergantung kepada usaha seluruh produksi yang memberikan komitmen terbaik sepanjang pembikinan.

    Mengulas mengenai pemilihan Aliff Aziz sebagai watak utama, Eyra menegaskan bahawa kontroversi kehidupan peribadi pelakon itu tidak mempengaruhi keputusan kreatifnya.

    Sebaliknya, beliau melihat Aliff sebagai seorang pelakon yang sangat berbakat, berdisiplin serta memberikan komitmen tinggi sepanjang proses penggambaran.

    Menurut Eyra, Aliff berjaya menghayati watak Adli dengan baik dan menunjukkan sikap profesional sepanjang berada di lokasi penggambaran.

    Sementara itu, Elisya Sandha mengakui menerima watak Nikita kerana karakter tersebut mempunyai pelbagai lapisan emosi yang mencabar kemampuan lakonannya.

    Katanya, selepas membaca skrip, beliau mendapati Nikita bukan sekadar watak antagonis, sebaliknya seorang wanita yang menyimpan trauma serta emosi yang mendalam. Cabaran seperti itu menjadi antara faktor utama beliau bersetuju menjayakan drama berkenaan.

    Madu Atau Racun mengisahkan Azura, seorang isteri yang setia, penyabar dan sentiasa mengutamakan keluarga. Walaupun menjalani kehidupan yang kelihatan sempurna, dia sebenarnya memendam kesedihan kerana masih belum dikurniakan cahaya mata selepas bertahun-tahun berkahwin dengan Adli.

    Keadaan menjadi lebih rumit apabila Adli, seorang ahli perniagaan yang berpengaruh tetapi mementingkan diri sendiri, membuat keputusan untuk berkahwin lagi.

    Kehadiran Nikita, seorang wanita muda yang berani, lantang dan penuh misteri, mengubah kehidupan mereka sepenuhnya.

    Pada awalnya, hubungan Azura dan Nikita dipenuhi rasa cemburu, dendam dan persaingan. Namun apabila keadaan memaksa mereka tinggal serumah, kedua-duanya mula memahami penderitaan yang ditanggung masing-masing.

    Mereka akhirnya menyedari bahawa musuh sebenar bukanlah antara mereka, tetapi lelaki yang selama ini memanipulasi kehidupan kedua-duanya.

    Apabila Adli mula menyedari hubungan rapat yang terjalin antara dua isterinya, keadaan bertukar menjadi semakin tegang dan tidak dijangka.

    Dengan gabungan jalan cerita yang berani, sentuhan pengarahan Eyra Rahman serta lakonan penuh emosi daripada barisan pelakon utama, Madu Atau Racun menjanjikan sebuah pengalaman tontonan yang menyentuh isu rumah tangga dari sudut berbeza, di samping mengetengahkan kekuatan wanita dan ikatan yang lahir dalam keadaan paling tidak disangka.

    Jangan lepaskan peluang menyaksikan Madu Atau Racun secara eksklusif di iQIYI bermula 14 Ogos 2026. Drama 12 episod ini akan ditayangkan setiap hari Jumaat dan Sabtu, jam 9 malam.

  • High Council Berkembang Ke Era Baharu Menerusi KUDRAT 1968

    High Council Berkembang Ke Era Baharu Menerusi KUDRAT 1968

    Fenomena Projek: High Council terus mencipta impak besar dalam landskap penceritaan tempatan. Kejayaannya bukan sahaja terletak pada naratif yang mencetuskan perbualan dalam kalangan penonton, malah turut mengangkat standard baharu dalam aspek produksi karya tempatan.

    Segalanya bermula dengan siri premium Projek: High Council pada tahun 2023 sebelum dunia tersebut dikembangkan menerusi filem Kahar: Kapla High Council pada tahun 2024. Kini, francais itu diperluaskan lagi menerusi kemunculan KUDRAT 1968 yang membawa penonton menyelami sejarah awal dunia High Council.

    Buat pertama kali di Malaysia, Astro Shaw memperkenalkan konsep penceritaan satu cerita dua format. Sebelum filem KUDRAT 1968 ditayangkan di pawagam, penonton akan dapat menyaksikan empat episod siri premium Astro Originals yang berfungsi sebagai pengenalan kepada dunia dan watak-watak utama sebelum pengalaman sinematik diteruskan di layar perak.

    Pendekatan ini bukan sahaja memberikan pengalaman penceritaan yang lebih mendalam, malah menjadi strategi pemasaran baharu yang membolehkan penonton mengenali dunia KUDRAT 1968 lebih awal sebelum menyaksikan filem penuh di pawagam.

    KUDRAT 1968 merupakan sebuah prekuel yang membawa penonton kembali ke titik permulaan sistem hierarki rahsia yang diwujudkan oleh para pelajar sendiri, sekali gus menjadi asas kepada kewujudan High Council yang dikenali hari ini.

    Sebelum ini, Astro Shaw telah mengumumkan Mierul Aiman sebagai pelakon utama menerusi media sosial rasmi mereka. Kini, lima lagi tonggak utama diperkenalkan iaitu Zarif Ghazzi, Akmal Asyraf, Dai Fuad, Evertts Gomes dan Chech Harith.

    KUDRAT 1968 diterajui oleh showrunner Zulaikha Zakaria yang sebelum ini berjaya menerajui Projek: EXIT dan Projek: High Council. Naskhah ini juga menandakan kemunculan pertama Khairi Asyraff sebagai pengarah bersama di bawah produksi PASAL Productions.

    Menurut Penerbit Eksekutif KUDRAT 1968 merangkap Ketua Astro Shaw, Raja Jastina Raja Arshad, enam pelakon utama yang dipilih menerusi sesi uji bakat akan menghidupkan generasi pertama dalam dunia KUDRAT 1968 dengan karakter dan tenaga tersendiri.

    Beliau turut menyatakan bahawa walaupun KUDRAT 1968 merupakan debut pengarahan filem pertama buat Zulaikha Zakaria, beliau bukanlah wajah baharu dalam dunia High Council kerana telah memainkan peranan penting sebagai penulis dan pengarah bersama sejak awal pembikinan francais tersebut.

    Gandingan Zulaikha bersama Khairi Asyraff yang hadir dengan pendekatan kreatif baharu diyakini mampu memberikan dimensi segar kepada dunia High Council.

    Tambah beliau lagi, empat episod siri premium Astro Originals akan memperluaskan pengalaman penonton dengan membina dunia KUDRAT 1968 secara lebih mendalam. Pendekatan ini membolehkan penonton memahami watak dan naratif dengan lebih menyeluruh sebelum menyaksikan filem di pawagam.

    KUDRAT 1968 diterbitkan oleh Astro Shaw bersama rakan penerbit ZAK Capital, Enotech Pictures, Pegasus Motion Pictures dan HM Entertainment.

    Filem ini mengisahkan seorang pelajar yang dipaksa memasuki sebuah institusi yang dibina atas nama bapanya. Namun di sebalik legasi yang diwarisi, dia berdepan pilihan sama ada mempertahankan sistem yang telah membentuk dirinya atau menjadi individu yang bakal menghancurkannya.

    KUDRAT 1968 dijadualkan menemui penonton pada tahun ini. Orang ramai juga boleh mengikuti perkembangan terkini serta klip-klip eksklusif menerusi akaun rasmi Astro Shaw di semua platform media sosial.

    Jalan ceritanya pula diinspirasikan daripada isu sebenar berkaitan sindiket penipuan pekerjaan di luar negara. Filem ini membawa penonton menyelami pengalaman mangsa yang terpedaya dengan janji pekerjaan lumayan sebelum terperangkap dalam situasi yang mengubah kehidupan mereka. Kisah ini bukan sahaja mendebarkan, malah membuka mata mengenai bahaya yang sering berlaku di dunia nyata.

    Selain itu, Tiket Sehala turut dibintangi oleh barisan pelakon berbakat dari Malaysia serta beberapa negara lain termasuk Korea Selatan, Thailand dan Indonesia. Gabungan pelakon daripada pelbagai latar belakang budaya ini memberikan persembahan yang lebih autentik dan menghidupkan setiap konflik dalam cerita.

    Di sebalik elemen thriller yang mendominasi filem ini, penonton juga akan disajikan dengan kisah yang sarat dengan emosi. Nilai kasih sayang keluarga, pengorbanan, harapan dan perjuangan untuk pulang ke tanah air menjadi tunjang utama yang menjadikan perjalanan setiap watak lebih bermakna dan menyentuh perasaan.

    Apa yang menjadikan Tiket Sehala lebih istimewa ialah mesej yang dibawanya. Filem ini mengingatkan masyarakat supaya sentiasa berwaspada terhadap tawaran pekerjaan yang terlalu indah untuk dipercayai, khususnya di luar negara. Ia menekankan kepentingan membuat semakan serta mendapatkan maklumat yang sah sebelum membuat sebarang keputusan.

    Filem terbitan Key Billions Sdn. Bhd. dan arahan Rahila Ali ini menampilkan Noki K-Clique, Jaa Suzuran, Sharifah Sakinah, Sheila Mambo, Ardell Aryana, Hasnul Rahmat, Zaki Yamani, Ainee Mustafa dan Saha Champ, bersama barisan pelakon antarabangsa dari Korea Selatan, Thailand dan Indonesia.

    Tiket Sehala mengisahkan sekumpulan rakyat Malaysia yang menjadi mangsa sindiket penipuan pekerjaan ketika mencari rezeki di Korea Selatan. Tanpa diduga, mereka terperangkap dalam situasi yang memaksa mereka membuat pilihan yang sukar demi meneruskan kehidupan dan mencari jalan untuk pulang ke tanah air.

    Jangan lepaskan peluang menyaksikan Tiket Sehala di pawagam bermula 6 Ogos 2026. Filem ini menawarkan gabungan aksi, suspens, emosi dan pengajaran yang pasti meninggalkan kesan mendalam kepada setiap penonton.

  • Sunway Medical Centre Velocity Strengthens Patient Care Through Integrated Digital Diagnostic Platform

    Sunway Medical Centre Velocity Strengthens Patient Care Through Integrated Digital Diagnostic Platform

    Sunway Medical Centre Velocity (SMCV) has become the first hospital in Southeast Asia to launch the comprehensive NORAV Clinical Management System, an integrated digital platform designed to centralise diagnostic information, streamline clinical workflows and support faster, more coordinated patient care.

    The new system connects multiple diagnostic services into a single digital platform, allowing authorised healthcare professionals to securely access patient information and medical reports from different locations within the hospital. This enables healthcare teams to make faster decisions while improving collaboration between departments.

    The launch was officiated by Dr Khoo Chow Huat, Managing Director of Hospital & Healthcare Operations at Sunway Healthcare Group; Ms Susan Cheow, Chief Executive Officer of Sunway Medical Centre Velocity; Mr Jordan Meshil, Vice President of International Sales at NORAV Medical; and Mr Ravi Kumaran, Business Development Manager at Sun Medical Systems. The event was also attended by senior management representatives from Sunway Healthcare Group and SMCV, consultant cardiologists, and representatives from Sun Medical Systems.

    Ms Susan Cheow, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Sunway Medical Centre Velocity (SMCV)

    The NORAV Medical ECG Management System (NEMS) Web platform integrates six diagnostic services, including electrocardiogram (ECG), cardiac stress testing, pulmonary function testing (PFT), Holter monitoring, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), and ankle-brachial pressure index testing (ABPI).

    By bringing these services together within one connected digital workflow, diagnostic information can be stored, managed and securely shared across relevant departments in real time. This allows healthcare professionals to access patient records and reports more efficiently, supporting quicker clinical interpretation, reporting and coordination among multidisciplinary teams.

    Ms Susan Cheow said the introduction of the NORAV Clinical Management System strengthens the way diagnostic information is managed and shared across SMCV, providing clinical teams with timely access to essential information when making treatment decisions.

    She added that the system supports a smoother patient journey from assessment to treatment by reducing waiting times for reports and improving coordination among healthcare professionals involved in patient care.

    The integrated platform replaces fragmented systems and manual processes with a unified digital workflow, helping to reduce administrative workload while improving the accessibility and turnaround time of diagnostic information. Clinicians can review current and previous medical records more efficiently, allowing them to gain a clearer understanding of each patient’s condition.

    Dr Tee Chee Hian, Consultant Physician and Cardiologist, highlighted that timely access to complete and accurate diagnostic information plays an important role in clinical decision-making, especially for patients requiring multiple investigations or care from different specialists.

    According to him, having diagnostic records available through one integrated system enables healthcare teams to review results more effectively, understand patients’ conditions more comprehensively and coordinate treatment plans more seamlessly.

    The system also enhances the overall patient experience by allowing information to move more efficiently between departments while maintaining the security and accessibility of medical records.

    Mr Jordan Meshil explained that before an integrated system is implemented, diagnostic data often remains separated within individual departments, requiring multiple internal steps to share results. The NORAV Comprehensive Clinical Management System removes these barriers by bringing information from different diagnostic services into one unified record.

    With easier access to digital records from hospital workstations, the system also reduces the need for printed documents. NORAV Medical expressed its commitment to supporting SMCV and Sun Medical Systems in advancing digitally connected healthcare through this first comprehensive deployment in Southeast Asia.

    The implementation contributes to SMCV’s sustainability initiatives by reducing dependence on printed diagnostic records. Through the digitalisation of ECG reports and other diagnostic information, the hospital expects to reduce ECG paper usage by up to 50%.

    This move supports a more environmentally responsible healthcare environment while helping the hospital manage resources more efficiently. Ms Susan Cheow said the system not only improves clinical and operational efficiency but also supports responsible resource management through reduced paper consumption.

    She added that digital clinical records represent a practical step towards building a smarter and more sustainable healthcare ecosystem while maintaining the quality, security and accessibility of patient information.

    The deployment of the NORAV Comprehensive Clinical Management System reflects Sunway Medical Centre Velocity’s ongoing commitment to strengthening digital healthcare capabilities, improving operational efficiency and creating a more seamless and connected patient experience.

    Menurut Ketua Saluran Melayu Astro, Norzeha Mohd Salleh, Kilauan Emas Selebriti bukan sekadar pertandingan nyanyian tetapi turut membawa misi kemasyarakatan menerusi konsep “Talent That Gives Back”. Melalui inisiatif ini, setiap kemenangan mingguan akan disertakan dengan sumbangan amal kepada rakan-rakan artis veteran yang memerlukan, sekali gus menjadikan program ini sebagai platform yang meraikan bakat sambil memberi impak positif kepada masyarakat.

    Beliau turut menjelaskan bahawa musim kali ini memperkenalkan segmen khas “Telan Kaset”, yang akan menampilkan kemunculan artis-artis legenda tanah air pada setiap minggu. Segmen tersebut diwujudkan bagi mengimbau nostalgia penonton serta menghidupkan kembali kenangan era kegemilangan muzik tempatan yang menjadi antara tarikan utama Kilauan Emas sejak diperkenalkan.

    Musim baharu ini bakal menyaksikan seramai 10 selebriti veteran bersaing di pentas Kilauan Emas Selebriti bagi mengumpul kemenangan yang akan diterjemahkan kepada sumbangan untuk membantu golongan yang memerlukan.

    Kilauan Emas Selebriti 2026 turut menyaksikan kepulangan Raja Azura sebagai pengacara utama selepas pernah mengendalikan program ini dari musim pertama hingga musim kelima. Beliau akan digandingkan bersama Keanu Azman sebagai rakan pengacara bagi memeriahkan lagi perjalanan pertandingan.

    Barisan juri pula dibarisi Jihan Muse sebagai juri tetap bersama Datuk Yusry KRU, selain menampilkan juri jemputan istimewa yang akan bertukar setiap minggu.

    Penerbitan musim ini turut disokong oleh Astro Gempak sebagai rakan digital dan SINAR sebagai rakan radio rasmi. Program ini juga boleh distrim menerusi Astro GO, Sooka serta On Demand bagi memudahkan penonton mengikuti setiap episod.

    Kilauan Emas Selebriti 2026 dibawakan khas oleh Arabic Gold dengan tema “Emas Tetap Emas”, yang meraikan nilai, pengalaman serta sumbangan individu yang terus menyerlah seiring peningkatan usia.

    Selain Kilauan Emas Selebriti, Astro turut menawarkan pelbagai filem, drama dan program Signature Live di semua platformnya. Orang ramai juga boleh mendapatkan Pek Astro X3 yang menawarkan pengalaman penstriman tanpa memerlukan dekoder, pemasangan atau kontrak, bermula daripada RM39.99 sebulan.
