    Malaysia to Host Smart City Expo KL 2025, Leading ASEAN’s AI-Driven Urban Future. Malaysia is poised to become a key driver in Southeast Asia’s digital transformation as it prepares to host the inaugural Smart City Expo Kuala Lumpur 2025 (SCEKL25) this September. This landmark event will spotlight Malaysia’s leadership in advancing AI-powered urban development—prioritizing people-centric innovation while championing sustainable and inclusive growth across ASEAN. Held from 17 to 19 September 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), the expo is expected to draw over 2,000 delegates and more than 10,000 visitors.

    SCEKL25 marks the first Southeast Asian edition of the globally renowned Smart City Expo World Congress, and is led by the Ministry of Digital through its agencies, the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) and Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB). As Malaysia takes the helm as ASEAN Chair, this event underscores the nation’s rising influence as a regional hub for digital innovation and smart city solutions.

    Digital Minister YB Gobind Singh Deo emphasized that SCEKL25 will act as a catalyst for a new urban vision—green, efficient, and inclusive—placing the rakyat at the heart of every innovation. He stated that the expo complements national strategies like the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint, and regional frameworks such as the ASEAN Smart Cities Network, supporting Malaysia’s ambition to become a Smart Nation by 2040. With Southeast Asia’s digital economy projected to hit US$1 trillion by 2030, Malaysia’s proactive leadership comes at a crucial time of rapid urbanisation and technological advancement.

    MDEC CEO Anuar Fariz Fadzil noted that through initiatives like AI Cities, Malaysia is turning ambition into action. From predictive traffic systems in Penang to AI-powered geospatial intelligence in Sabah, Malaysia is already piloting impactful projects that reflect the real-world potential of smart city technology. He emphasized that the country’s smart cities will be rakyat-first and planet-conscious, offering faster, adaptive public services and digital infrastructure that enables startups and SMEs to scale globally.

He described the expo not just as a tech showcase, but as a policy and collaboration platform where urban challenges can be addressed through innovation. By bringing together global leaders, the event aims to forge smarter, more sustainable cities—where technology truly serves both people and the planet.

  • Nama XPDC Dipijak? KARYAWAN Bangkit Bela Warisan Rock Malaysia

    Nama XPDC Dipijak? KARYAWAN Bangkit Bela Warisan Rock Malaysia

    Persatuan Karyawan Malaysia (KARYAWAN) menyatakan pendirian tegas berhubung penyalahgunaan nama dan jenama kumpulan rock legenda tanah air, “XPDC”, oleh pihak-pihak yang tidak mempunyai sebarang kebenaran rasmi. Kegiatan ini melibatkan penggunaan nama tersebut dalam konteks promosi, persembahan terbuka dan penampilan komersial, yang telah menimbulkan kekeliruan dalam kalangan peminat serta penganjur acara, dan secara langsung menjejaskan integriti industri muzik tempatan.

    Untuk makluman umum, nama dan logo “XPDC” merupakan tanda dagangan berdaftar milik eksklusif Life Records. Jenama ini dilindungi sepenuhnya di bawah akta cap dagangan dan telah membina reputasi kukuh sejak awal 1990-an. Dengan nilai komersial yang signifikan dan impak besar dalam sejarah muzik tanah air, XPDC bukan sekadar nama, tetapi satu legasi seni yang perlu dihormati.

    Sehingga kini, hanya dua entiti yang diberikan kebenaran bertulis secara rasmi untuk menggunakan nama “XPDC”, iaitu XPDC (Kita Pengyu) dan XPDC (Militia). Kedua-duanya terdiri daripada barisan anggota asal dan beroperasi secara sah di bawah pengurusan Life Records.

    Namun begitu, KARYAWAN menerima aduan mengenai kemunculan sebuah kumpulan yang memperkenalkan diri sebagai “Real XPDC”. Kumpulan ini didapati aktif menganjurkan persembahan, mempromosikan konsert serta menggunakan nama “XPDC” secara meluas dalam bahan promosi, walaupun tidak memiliki sebarang pengesahan daripada pemilik hak. Penggunaan istilah “Real” tidak mengubah hakikat bahawa mereka tetap bergantung pada nama “XPDC”, sekali gus mencetus kekeliruan dan tanggapan salah dalam kalangan orang ramai bahawa mereka adalah kumpulan asal.

    Dari sudut perundangan, tindakan ini boleh dianggap sebagai satu bentuk pelanggaran hak cap dagangan, yang membolehkan tindakan undang-undang diambil terhadap pihak terlibat. KARYAWAN memandang serius perkara ini dan menegaskan bahawa perlindungan terhadap hak cipta dan harta intelek harus menjadi keutamaan dalam memastikan industri hiburan berkembang secara sihat dan profesional.

    KARYAWAN tidak menolak kewujudan kumpulan tribute sebagai satu bentuk penghargaan kepada artis legenda. Namun, penghormatan sebegini harus dilakukan secara beretika, bertanggungjawab dan tidak mengelirukan masyarakat. Sekiranya benar niatnya adalah untuk memperingati legasi XPDC, maka penggunaan nama alternatif yang tidak membawa kekeliruan dan disertai dengan hubungan baik bersama pemilik asal perlu dijadikan asas moral dan profesionalisme.

    Sebagai tindakan lanjut, KARYAWAN akan merujuk perkara ini kepada Perbadanan Harta Intelek Malaysia (MyIPO) serta Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup (KPDNKK). Semakan akan dilakukan sama ada nama “Real XPDC” telah didaftarkan secara tidak wajar atau menimbulkan pertindihan dengan tanda dagangan sedia ada. Sekiranya terdapat pelanggaran yang jelas, KARYAWAN menyokong agar tindakan sewajarnya diambil demi melindungi hak pemilik sah.

    KARYAWAN turut menyeru semua penggiat seni, penganjur dan peminat agar terus memelihara hak harta intelek, menghormati legasi seni, dan menjunjung prinsip perundangan yang menjadi asas kepada kestabilan serta kemajuan industri muzik dan hiburan negara.
