  • Malaysia’s Digital Investments Surge in Q2 2025 — Global Investors Show Strong Confidence

    Malaysia’s Digital Investments Surge in Q2 2025 — Global Investors Show Strong Confidence

    Malaysia’s Digital Investments Soar in Q2 2025, Reinforcing Its Position as ASEAN’s Leading Digital Hub. Malaysia’s digital economy continues to gain strong momentum, driven by robust investor confidence and a thriving ecosystem of innovation, skilled talent, and advanced infrastructure. In the second quarter of 2025, digital investments under the Malaysia Digital (MD) national strategic initiative surged by an impressive 125%, growing from RM13.11 billion in Q1 to RM29.47 billion. This significant leap reaffirms Malaysia’s reputation as a top destination for foreign digital investments (FDI) in the ASEAN region.

    As of June 2025, a total of 261 companies approved under the MD initiative have collectively pledged RM42.58 billion in investments, with the potential to create 17,495 high-value knowledge-based jobs over the next five years. Minister of Digital, Gobind Singh Deo, described this remarkable growth as a testament to Malaysia’s digital readiness, the strength of its innovation-driven ecosystem, and the trust of global investors in the country’s digital future. “These investments go beyond figures — they represent thousands of career opportunities for Malaysians and a long-term boost for our digital economy,” said Gobind. He also emphasized that the MD initiative remains a powerful engine for inclusive innovation and regional digital leadership.

    The top three sources of approved digital investments as of mid-2025 are led by Singapore, which committed RM13.91 billion (33% of total investment), followed by the United States at RM6.44 billion (15%) and China at RM2.97 billion (7%). The Data Centre and Cloud sector emerged as the leading investment vertical, contributing RM30.95 billion and expected to generate 1,440 knowledge jobs due to surging demand for regional data infrastructure. Notably, data centre companies alone accounted for RM13.45 billion, showcasing high investor confidence in Malaysia’s digital infrastructure and strategic connectivity.

    Other fast-growing sectors include artificial intelligence (AI), which drew RM3.29 billion in investments and is projected to create 6,920 jobs — the largest contributor to total projected employment at 40%. The Global Business Services (GBS) sector also saw strong interest, securing RM4.99 billion in investments and expected to add 5,632 jobs, or 32% of the total.

    Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) CEO, Anuar Fariz Fadzil, highlighted that the impact of the Malaysia Digital initiative goes beyond investment value. “The scale and quality of these investments demonstrate our commitment to delivering catalytic outcomes — in innovation, job creation, and ecosystem development. MDEC will continue enhancing investor support, talent pipelines, and strategic partnerships to maintain Malaysia’s edge as Southeast Asia’s most future-ready digital economy,” he said.

    As global interest in Malaysia’s digital sector continues to rise, the Ministry of Digital and MDEC remain committed to accelerating innovation, promoting inclusive growth, and strengthening the nation’s position as a premier digital hub in the region.

  • HONOR Magic V5 Set to Launch in Malaysia on 15 July – The Slimmest Foldable Without Compromise

    HONOR Magic V5 Set to Launch in Malaysia on 15 July – The Slimmest Foldable Without Compromise

    HONOR Magic V5 to Launch in Malaysia on 15 July – The Slimmest Foldable Phone Yet Without Compromise. HONOR has officially announced the arrival of its most innovative foldable smartphone yet — the HONOR Magic V5 — set to launch in Malaysia on 15 July 2025. Already creating waves online following its initial reveal, the HONOR Magic V5 is poised to redefine the foldable phone landscape with its groundbreaking design and powerful capabilities. Touted as the world’s slimmest foldable at just 8.8mm, the Magic V5 goes beyond aesthetics by offering top-tier performance, durability, and imaging — all without compromise.

    Engineered for portability, the Magic V5’s ultra-slim body is as thin as a 50 cent coin or three stacked bank cards, making it exceptionally pocket-friendly and comfortable to carry. Unlike traditional foldables that often feel bulky or awkward, the Magic V5 feels light and seamless in hand or in compact bags, perfect for those on the move.

    Despite its slim form factor, the HONOR Magic V5 houses a massive 5820mAh HONOR Silicon-Carbon Battery — a cutting-edge power source slim enough to rival the thickness of a business card. This advanced battery supports full-day usage, even under intensive conditions like video streaming and gaming. It also features 66W Wired HONOR SuperCharge and 50W Wireless Charging, allowing users to quickly power up their device. Paired with the Power Enhanced HONOR E2 Chip, the phone intelligently optimizes energy use for even longer battery life.

    Photography enthusiasts will be impressed with the Magic V5’s powerful camera system. It features a 64MP Periscope Telephoto Camera capable of up to 100X digital zoom — currently the best in any foldable device. Enhanced by AI Super Zoom and AI Enhanced Portrait features, users can take vivid, detailed shots from afar or capture professional-level portraits effortlessly. Additional AI editing tools such as AI Cutout, AI Eraser, AI Outpainting, and AI Upscale provide users with intuitive post-editing options for stunning photo enhancements on the go.

    Durability is another hallmark of the Magic V5. It boasts the strongest inner screen in its class, reinforced with Non-Newtonian Fluid technology to withstand drops and daily wear. It also features AI-powered Foreign Object Detection, which alerts users when small particles, like grains of sand, are detected inside the screen. The outer display is protected by HONOR’s Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield, while its carbon fiber back—crafted from Aerospace Special Fiber—offers up to 40 times impact resistance. The device’s Super Steel Hinge has been tested to support up to 35kg of weight and is rated for 500,000 folds — equivalent to 13 years of use at 100 folds per day.

    The HONOR Magic V5 is also built to survive the elements, featuring IP58 and IP59 ratings for dust and water resistance. These protections help prevent common issues such as screen discoloration and internal damage, making it a reliable companion for everyday and rugged use alike.

    Set to be a game-changer in the foldable phone market, the HONOR Magic V5 will be officially unveiled in Malaysia on 15 July at 2PM via a livestream on HONOR Malaysia’s official Facebook page. Viewers can look forward to the full reveal, including specifications, pricing, and special launch promotions. To stay updated, visit www.honor.com/my or follow HONOR Malaysia’s social media pages.

Day one offers a Livehouse experience at 再三杯 (Zai San Bei)—a buzzing nightlife venue ideal for low-light, high-energy portraits using Stage Mode (Note: this session is open to non-Muslims only due to alcohol being served at the venue). Day two takes participants café hopping, beginning at the Muslim-friendly Hug Store, a cozy, pastel-themed location perfect for soft indoor portraits. The day continues with picturesque garden shots at The Hobbit Homes Garden, before wrapping up at Penang Bayan Lepas Jetty—a beautiful waterfront setting ideal for golden hour and street photography.

    Following Penang, the Stage Your PhotograpFE tour will continue across the country:

    • Kuala Lumpur: 11–12 July & 1–2 August
    • Melaka: 18–19 July
    • Johor: 25–26 July

Suggested themes—like live bands, café moments, and vibrant street scenes—align with the signature elements of the tour.

    Special thanks go to Glad2Glow for supporting the campaign and ensuring participants look and feel their best for every photo opportunity. For full event details, contest rules, and location updates, visit vivo Malaysia’s official website or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
