    Canon Honoured with Selangor–Japan Investor Appreciation Award at Expo 2025 Osaka

    Canon, a global leader in imaging and innovation, has been honoured with the prestigious Selangor–Japan Investor Appreciation Award at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. Presented by His Royal Highness The Crown Prince of Selangor, the award recognises Canon’s longstanding contribution to Selangor’s economic development and its unwavering dedication to strengthening Malaysia–Japan relations. Since establishing its presence in Malaysia in the 1980s, Canon has become a cornerstone of industrial and technological growth in Selangor through its network of group companies, including Canon Marketing, Canon Machinery, Canon Medical, Canon Opto, Canon MailCom, and Canon Electronics Malaysia. These companies have played a vital role in creating jobs, facilitating technology transfer, and driving community engagement—all while upholding Canon’s global values of innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility.

    Expressing gratitude for the recognition, Mr. Hideki Ozawa, Executive Vice President of Canon Inc. and Chief Representative of Canon Asia Group, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to contributing meaningfully to Malaysian society. “Guided by our Kyosei philosophy of living and working together for the common good, Canon remains devoted not only to business excellence but to partnerships and sustainability efforts that benefit the community,” he said.

    Canon’s impact in Selangor extends beyond corporate performance. The company has championed various environmental and social initiatives, notably the One Canon One Tree campaign, launched in 2016. This tree-planting initiative, which began in Selangor, expanded nationally in 2023 and has resulted in over 9,000 trees planted across Malaysia, including a recent effort at Paya Indah Wetlands in Dengkil. Canon also places strong emphasis on environmental education. In partnership with the Department of Environment Selangor, Canon introduced a children’s environmental activity book titled A Kid’s Guide to Save Planet Earth, created with renowned Malaysian author and illustrator Nor Azhar Ishak, to promote eco-awareness among primary school students.

    Canon Marketing Malaysia, the brand’s main sales and marketing entity in the country, has also earned recognition for its corporate social responsibility, winning the Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards for seven consecutive years. This consistent acknowledgment highlights Canon’s deep-rooted dedication to sustainability and meaningful social impact through long-term CSR initiatives.

    The Selangor–Japan Investor Appreciation Award at Expo 2025 Osaka not only celebrates Canon’s corporate achievements but also underscores its lasting contribution to Malaysia’s growth and environmental stewardship. The award reinforces Canon’s mission to create positive, enduring value in the communities it serves.

    Pullman Responds to a Changing World with the Launch of an Insightful Series Featuring Global Thought Leaders

    Pullman Launches Trans-formative Series Celebrating Global Visionaries and Cultural Exchange. Pullman Hotels & Resorts, a trailblazing brand under Accor, has unveiled two bold new initiatives—Pullman Drafts and Pullman Voices—aimed at fostering cultural dialogue, sparking intellectual curiosity, and re-imagining how we experience ideas in a rapidly evolving world. These platforms are a modern continuation of Pullman’s 160-year legacy of innovation and transformation, beginning with George Pullman’s revolutionary approach to hospitality and continuing today with a dynamic focus on cultural collisions and progressive thought.

    Pullman Drafts, created in collaboration with the House of Beautiful Business, presents a collection of thought-provoking essays and articles authored by a diverse group of global thought leaders, artists, and entrepreneurs. The series is designed to challenge assumptions, embrace contradictions, and serve as a starting point for meaningful reflection. Writers and contributors include next-gen entrepreneur Akbar Hamid, neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow, and TED curator Bruno Giussani, among others. These narratives delve into topics such as identity, productivity, creativity, and cultural reinvention, reflecting Pullman’s commitment to perspective-shifting storytelling.

    In parallel, Pullman Voices brings these ideas into an auditory format through a compelling 12-episode podcast series co-created with Monocle. The podcast features deep conversations with influential voices from across industries—including Carsten Spohr of Lufthansa Group, psychologist Daniel Goleman, and philosopher Djamila Ribeiro—offering insights into innovation, sustainability, and the evolving nature of work and society. With each episode, Pullman expands the conversation, promoting deeper connections and co-creating the cultural narratives that will shape the future.

    According to Benoît Racle, Global President of Premium Brands at Accor, “Pullman Drafts and Pullman Voices are not just creative initiatives—they’re expressions of our brand DNA. By embracing bold ideas and visionary voices, we are building spaces where minds collide and culture moves forward.” These platforms exemplify Pullman’s ambition to be more than a hotel brand—acting instead as a global catalyst for conversation, imagination, and shared progress.

    Both series are now live, with Pullman Drafts accessible at pullman-happenings.com and Pullman Voices available on Monocle Radio. Through these creative expressions, Pullman is redefining what it means to travel, connect, and think in today’s dynamic world.

    In addition to its hardware, the HONOR 400 Pro introduces next-generation AI editing tools, eliminating the need for third-party apps.

    The HONOR 400 Series Unveils Groundbreaking AI Image-to-Video Capability Powered by Google Cloud AI

    HONOR 400 Series Launches in Malaysia with Industry-Leading AI Image-to-Video Technology Powered by Google Cloud AI. Global technology brand HONOR has officially announced the launch of its latest smartphone line, the HONOR 400 Series, in Malaysia, scheduled for 22 May 2025. Since its local preview last week, the series has generated buzz on social media, especially for its groundbreaking Next-Gen AI Imaging features. At the heart of this innovation is the industry’s first AI Image-to-Video technology built in collaboration with Google Cloud AI. This new feature enables users to effortlessly create engaging short videos from still images—be it real-life photos, old family portraits, or even artwork—directly from their photo gallery without the need for third-party apps. It’s a leap forward in mobile creativity, offering users both convenience and emotional resonance.

    The HONOR 400 Series combines this advanced AI capability with powerful camera hardware, aiming to be the top AI camera phone in its segment. Both the HONOR 400 and 400 Pro models feature a 200MP main camera with a large 1/1.4-inch super sensor, delivering exceptional clarity and low-light performance. Optical and electronic image stabilization (OIS and EIS) further enhance the image quality. The 12MP Macro and Wide camera captures expansive scenes, while the 50MP AI Telephoto Camera—exclusive to the HONOR 400 Pro—offers up to 50x digital zoom. On the front, users can enjoy a 50MP Portrait Selfie Camera that delivers studio-quality results.

    A standout feature, AI Image to Video, lets users animate static photos into five-second moving visuals, breathing new life into memories. HONOR demonstrated the emotional power of this feature through two heartfelt Mother’s Day videos. One tells the story of a daughter who used the HONOR 400 Pro to animate a childhood photo of her late mother, allowing her to see her mother’s smile once again. Another captures a father comforting his daughter by animating a treasured image of her with her deceased grandmother. These deeply personal moments highlight how HONOR’s AI not only enhances photography but also creates meaningful new ways to connect with the past.

    Beyond image animation, the HONOR 400 Series introduces a suite of AI editing tools designed to elevate the mobile photography experience. AI Eraser 2.0 removes unwanted people and reflections from photos with precision. AI Cutout enables users to separate subjects from backgrounds, offering creative freedom to modify or replace scenery. AI Outpainting extends photo borders naturally, making it perfect for enhancing scenic shots or re-framing cropped images. With AI Upscale, even low-resolution or blurry images can be restored with clarity and detail. For fun, social sharing, the Moving Photo Collage feature allows the combination of multiple Live Photos into dynamic, customizable storyboards. Meanwhile, Harcourt Studio 2.0 brings studio-level portrait photography to the palm of your hand, simulating optical blur and offering six artistic film-style filters for a refined finish.

    The official launch of the HONOR 400 Series will be livestreamed on 22 May 2025 at 3PM via HONOR Malaysia’s official Facebook page. For more information, visit www.honor.com/my.
