KUALA LUMPUR, 18 August 2025 – U Mobile today officially launched ULTRA5G, its new brand name for the next generation 5G experience, marking a major milestone in the company’s drive to deliver the widest and deepest 5G coverage across Malaysia.

𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝟱𝗚-𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗹
The launch took place at Berjaya Times Square Kuala Lumpur (BTS), now the first fully 5G-enabled shopping mall in Malaysia. With U Mobile’s In-Building Coverage (IBC), users at BTS will now see the ULTRA5G identifier on their devices, reflecting the telco’s strategy to provide consistent, reliable 5G coverage in both indoor and outdoor environments. Importantly, ULTRA5G will be available across all U Mobile plans, ensuring every customer can enjoy the benefits of next-generation connectivity.

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲: 𝟰𝗞 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺
To demonstrate ULTRA5G’s technological capabilities, U Mobile staged Malaysia’s first crystal-clear 4K livestream of a roller coaster ride at Berjaya Times Square Theme Park. The 800-metre, multi-inverted indoor roller coaster — the longest in Asia Pacific — maintained seamless connectivity throughout the two-and-a-half-minute ride, even as it reached speeds of up to 70 km/h.

The showcase also featured mixed-reality experiences and a 5G network slicing demonstration, underscoring ULTRA5G’s enterprise-grade reliability and potential for differentiated digital services.

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝟱𝗚-𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
ULTRA5G is powered by 5G-Advanced (also known as 5.5G or 5G-A), an evolutionary upgrade to 5G defined under the 3GPP Release 18 standard. Operating on a standalone (SA) architecture, ULTRA5G has clear advantages over non-standalone (NSA) networks, including lower latency, more efficient spectrum usage, and support for advanced features such as network slicing, extended reality (XR), and massive IoT. This foundation ensures ULTRA5G is not just faster but also smarter, more reliable, and future-ready.

𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
“U Mobile is proud to launch ULTRA5G, our brand new name for our 5G experience that is supported by our next gen network. As the nation’s newest 5G network provider, U Mobile is focused on enabling digital transformation for consumers and businesses alike. ULTRA5G brings enhanced digital experiences, from ultra-reliable streaming and immersive gaming to high-quality video calls in crowded areas. For enterprises, ULTRA5G opens doors to advanced use cases like XR, robotics, smart cities, and IR 4.0 automation. With deployment ahead of schedule, U Mobile is also doubling down on indoor coverage to ensure the widest and deepest 5G experience in Malaysia,” said Woon Ooi Yuen, Chief Technology Officer of U Mobile.

𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲
Beyond Kuala Lumpur, ULTRA5G has already gone live on Penang Bridge 1, where only two towers provide full connectivity across the entire span, delivering seamless coverage for commuters. U Mobile is targeting 80% Coverage of Populated Areas (CoPA) by the second half of 2026, with upcoming deployments at airports, hospitals, convention centres, and other high-impact areas nationwide.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗨 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲
U Mobile is a leading Malaysian telco known for its innovation and robust network capabilities. As the nation’s newest 5G network provider, the company is committed to offering unbeatable converged solutions and next-generation services via its enterprise-grade 5G network.

𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗧𝗟𝗘𝗦, 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗦 & 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: 𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡’𝗦 𝗘𝗖𝗢-𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘

TIOMAN, 16 August 2025 - In Tioman, sustainability is not treated as a buzzword—it is a way of life, quietly practised and passionately upheld. While many come for the clear waters and soft beaches, those who look closer will find a living story of environmental stewardship and cultural pride, deeply embedded in the island’s soul.

Berjaya Tioman Resort - Malaysia has become an integral part of this narrative. Beyond offering luxurious stays, the resort champions reef-safe tourism, has eliminated single-use plastics in rooms, and encourages linen reuse. Guests are engaged in tree-planting initiatives, as seen during its 40th anniversary when media and KOLs joined hands to create the resort’s commemorative garden—a tribute to regeneration and environmental care.

One of the most inspiring moments came during a visit to Campsite Sekuci, a grassroots turtle conservation centre founded by Tioman native Mohd Don Mustapha. With no formal funding, Mohd Don has dedicated his life to nurturing endangered hatchlings, caring for them until they are ready to return to the sea. Stories of turtles like Aishah and Jacko—raised and released by Don—have won hearts both on and off the island.

Don’s work has quietly reshaped community attitudes. Where turtle eggs were once consumed, they are now brought to Don for safekeeping. His humble, consistent advocacy has created a local conservation ethic rooted in trust and compassion.

The resort also arranged a visit to the Pulau Tioman Marine Park Information Centre and Marine Museum, offering guests a deeper understanding of the island’s marine biodiversity. Interactive exhibits, conservation signboards, and real-life artefacts illustrated how Tioman has preserved its coral ecosystems and coastal heritage across decades.

With underwater visibility up to 30 metres and over 350 coral species, Tioman is a diver’s dream—but it is also home to rich rainforest habitats that are equally essential.

From snorkelling with vibrant reef fish to kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding along Tioman’s calm shoreline, guests immersed themselves in the island’s natural rhythms. These water activities provided not just scenic joyrides, but also an intimate look at Tioman’s fragile coastal ecosystem — a reminder that fun and sustainability can go hand in hand.

As Malaysia prepares for Visit Malaysia 2026, Tioman stands as a living example of what sustainable tourism should look like—immersive, intentional, and deeply local.

KUALA LUMPUR, 15 August 2025 – Official jeweller of Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW), Poh Kong Jewellers, made a dazzling return with the debut of its Tranz 2025 collection, captivating audiences with three distinct gold jewellery lines – the new Naturama series alongside the Boldness and Graphique collections.

The highlight of the show, Naturama, fuses nature and drama to create four intricate designs:
📌 Fallen Leaf – symbolising serenity and timeless beauty
📌 Spider – representing patience, wisdom and mastery
📌 Butterfly – evoking freedom and elegance
📌 Coral – signifying gentleness and protection of life, much like coral safeguarding the ocean

Complementing the debut were the Boldness collection, which blends minimalism with retro aesthetics through sculptural geometric forms, and Graphique, which marries precise symmetry with irregular lines to reflect life’s strength and inner richness.

KUALA LUMPUR, 14 August 2025 — The third edition of The Hasanah Forum 2025 (THF2025) has gathered over 500 of Malaysia’s top changemakers, policymakers, and grassroots champions for two days (14–15 August) of action-driven dialogue aimed at strengthening national resilience through community-led, justice-oriented solutions.

Themed “Philanthropy that Listens: Bridging Intent with Intervention”, the forum — officiated by YB Senator Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan, Minister of Finance II — called for a new era in philanthropy where listening to community voices takes centre stage in policy, corporate responsibility, and national development.

𝙇𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝘼𝙎 𝘼 𝙉𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙇 𝙄𝙈𝙋𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙑𝙀
“Philanthropy must evolve into an act of listening — a tool to surface community needs and guide more grounded, collaborative solutions,” said Siti Kamariah Ahmad Subki, Managing Director and Trustee of Yayasan Hasanah. She noted the foundation’s decade-long work in catalysing inclusive change with the support of the government and key partners.

She added, “This Forum is pivotal in shifting from traditional charity models to collaborative, justice-oriented, community-led solutions that place people at the centre of governance.”

🎙️ Dr. Louisa Shobhini Ponnampalam (MareCet) – Pioneering marine mammal conservation using sonar technology

Lambino II (Ayala Foundation), Prof. Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood, Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar, and former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark.

Discussions focused on forging systemic change through strategic partnerships between communities, corporations, and governments — ensuring long-term resilience and inclusive development.

Beyond panels, the forum hosted an Impact Marketplace, Cultural Workshops, Networking Pods, and Partners Community Dialogues, fostering collaboration and showcasing purpose-driven enterprises.

Since 2021, The Hasanah Forum — hosted by Yayasan Hasanah, the impact-based foundation of Khazanah Nasional — has grown into Malaysia’s premier platform for social impact, bridging national priorities with grassroots realities.

“We’re especially heartened by the surge of youth participation this year — a powerful signal that Malaysians are ready to lead change with urgency and purpose,” said Siti Kamariah.
