Midea, a leading global technology company and one of the world’s largest home appliances manufacturers, recently hosted its first-ever dealer conference in Asia-Pacific in Bali. The event gathered a total of 450 partners across the region to unite in advancing toward world No.1 leadership across all home appliance categories under the “Power of One” theme. The conference highlighted Midea’s latest innovations through five experiential zones, while also underscoring its strengthened commitment to individual markets such as Malaysia through ongoing technical training, service excellence, and meaningful community partnerships.


“The Power of One derives from three key elements: our technology leadership, our local-for-local capabilities, and our partnerships. By continuing to invest in R&D and smart technologies, strengthening regional production and service networks, and working closely with partners across APAC, Midea is building unstoppable momentum toward its ambition of becoming the world’s No.1 smart home appliance company – with a target of USD 1.5 billion sales revenue in APAC by 2028”, said Mr. Zeal Jiang, President of Midea Asia Pacific Region.


Product Excellence: Midea Leads APAC with Five Exceptional Solutions

Midea is committed to leading, innovating, and excelling toward World No.1 leadership across all categories. In recent years, Midea has been certified by Euromonitor International in 9 first-place rankings in the global home appliance industry, including Smart Home Appliances, Air Conditioners, Air Treatment, Microwaves, and Small Cooking Appliances.

During the conference, Midea showcased 150 products across five innovation zones, each reflecting the brand’s vision of smarter, more sustainable living:

SMART MASTER – AI-powered technologies across appliances, including smart cooling and real-time air purification, all managed through the Midea SmartHome App.

AI ECOMASTER – energy-saving solutions using AI-driven optimisations that reduce consumption by up to 30%, with comprehensive usage reporting.

SPACE MASTER – space-efficient designs that maximise capacity without expanding footprint, including refrigerators, dishwashers, and washer-dryers.

Midea Building Technologies (MBT) – large-scale solutions such as the VC MAX VRF and Magboost Apex chiller, offering improved energy efficiency and cost-effective retrofitting.




Technology Leadership: Innovating the Future from Smart Homes to Intelligent Industries


Midea continues to accelerate its global growth by driving innovation, having invested USD 10 billion in R&D over the past five years and supported by a team of over 23,000 R&D professionals. The company has secured 100,000 patents, earned 470 major technology awards, and contributed to more than 1,900 technology standards across both consumer and enterprise sectors. 


In the next three years, Midea Group has committed to investing over CNY 50 billion (USD 6.96 billion) into AI, new energy, advanced robotics and embodied Intelligence, building on milestones such as the debut of its household humanoid robot MIRA at the 2025 World AI Conference, as well as partnering with Shanghai’s Qingpu district to invest CNY 1.5 billion (USD 208.1 million) in an intelligence technology platform.


Market Strategy: Empowering APAC Growth Through Local Manufacturing and Service Excellence


At the conference, Mr. Zeal Jiang, President of Midea Asia Pacific Region, outlined Midea's APAC strategy on local integration to attending members.


Midea operates 63 global production bases, including nine across Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. In 2025, its Thailand Factory was named a World Economic Forum Lighthouse Factory for Supply Chain Resilience – the first overseas Lighthouse Factory in the global air-conditioning industry and Southeast Asia’s first fully 5G-connected factory, achieving over 40% energy savings per unit and a 68.3% reduction in carbon emissions.


To strengthen after-sales support, Midea has published the Midea Club Application across APAC, empowering technicians to manage key services such as product delivery, installation, training, and warranty in one platform. The company also hosts over 200 training and service events annually, targeting 30,000 engineers over the next three years, and today works with more than 1800 Direct Service Centre (DSC) and Authorised Service Partner (ASP) service partners across the region.


In Malaysia, this commitment includes quarterly training sessions to build local technical expertise, ensuring service quality and customer satisfaction in line with global standards.








Driving Sustainability and Community Impact across APAC and Malaysia


Midea Group was included in the Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) 2025 by S&P Global for its outstanding ESG performance, highlighting contributions across Asia-Pacific such as disaster relief, community support, and environmental conservation.


Midea’s community engagement includes supporting flood relief efforts, donating to elderly care institutions, and fostering youth development through a partnership with Persatuan Badminton Negeri Kelantan in Malaysia, where these initiatives reflect how Midea’s global partnerships translate into meaningful impact at the local level.


“Our ambition at Midea is to achieve world-leading innovation with local relevance. That means ensuring our appliances not only set new standards globally, but also deliver benefits to Malaysian families and communities,” said Mr. Mark Tam, Managing Director of Midea Malaysia.


Regionally, Midea has supported initiatives such as coral restoration in Bali with over 1,000 corals planted in partnership with Mangrove Indonesia Lestari Foundation. “Planting coral is not only about saving the ocean, it’s about securing biodiversity, supporting fisheries, protecting communities, and ensuring a sustainable future for Bali and beyond,” said Mr. Zeal Jiang, President of Midea Asia Pacific Region.


The brand also strengthens connections with global audiences through world-class sports sponsorships, including its upcoming role as Main Partner Sleeve Sponsor of FC Barcelona, alongside long-standing partnerships with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and Manchester City Football Club.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11: A Refined Balance of Portability, Power, and Productivity

 

Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab S11 is making waves as a premium Android tablet that blends elegant design, smooth performance, and thoughtful productivity tools — all in a compact, highly portable form.

Positioned between the ultra-slim Tab S11 Ultra and Samsung’s entry-level tablets, the Tab S11 delivers an all-rounder experience for students, professionals, and on-the-go creatives.


 Design & Build Quality


With its Armor Aluminum frame, the Tab S11 feels reassuringly sturdy yet light enough for extended use. The addition of IP68 water and dust resistance is a standout in this category, offering durability without compromising its sleek design  which is a key reassurance for those who work or create on the move.

A Display That Stands Out


Front and centre is the 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, instantly impressive with vivid colours, deep blacks, and buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate.

Reaching up to 1,600 nits peak brightness, it stays sharp and vibrant whether you’re reviewing presentations indoors or sketching outdoors in daylight — a screen built equally for creativity and content consumption.

Power & Performance


Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor (built on a 3nm process) keeps everything running fast and efficient. Apps launch instantly, multitasking flows seamlessly, and animations stay smooth.


A robust 8,400 mAh battery comfortably lasts a full day of work or study, while 45W fast charging ensures quick top-ups when needed.

Generous RAM, expandable storage via microSD, and snappy connectivity make the Tab S11 a flexible device right out of the box.

 Cameras & Communication


Equipped with a 13MP rear camera with autofocus and flash and a 12MP ultra-wide front camera supporting 4K video, the Tab S11 covers all the basics — from video calls and document scans to crisp casual photos.


Productivity & Creativity

Running One UI 8 on Android 16, the Tab S11 integrates Samsung’s latest AI-powered tools, including Writing Assist for polished note-taking and Drawing Assist for clean sketches and diagrams.


The redesigned S Pen with a hexagonal grip and cone-shaped tip feels intuitive in hand, ideal for capturing ideas or annotating documents. Pairing the tablet with the Book Cover Keyboard Slim adds laptop-like functionality with responsive keys and a dedicated Galaxy AI key, unlocking quick commands for smarter multitasking.


First Verdict


The Galaxy Tab S11 strikes a confident balance: premium without being oversized, powerful yet portable.

Its brilliant display, efficient performance, S Pen productivity, and versatile form factor make it a compelling choice for users who need a device that adapts seamlessly to work, study, and creativity.


For anyone seeking a tablet that is as polished for sketching as it is for spreadsheets, the Galaxy Tab S11 sets a new benchmark for the all-rounder class.

Why Upgrading to the Galaxy Tab S11 Series Means Smarter Productivity

 




Productivity today is not just about finishing tasks, it is about managing the endless flow of information, conversations, and responsibilities that shape our daily lives. Between virtual meetings, online classes, personal projects, and family commitments, it often feels like there are simply not enough hours in the day. Samsung has long understood this challenge, and with the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, the brand showed how Galaxy AI could make life not only more efficient, but also more effortless.


Smarter Notes and Learning

In classrooms and boardrooms alike, features such as Note Assist and Transcript Assist gave users the freedom to focus on engaging in the moment while their tablet organized, summarized, and stored key points. For students, this meant less pressure during lectures and more meaningful time reviewing later. For professionals, it ensured meeting minutes and action points were always captured, keeping productivity flowing even after the call ended.


Seamless Search, Instant Answers

With Circle to Search, users no longer needed to break their focus by opening new tabs or browsers. A simple gesture delivered instant results on screen, whether clarifying a term during research, identifying a reference in class, or checking details in a presentation. It kept workflow smooth, saving time and maintaining concentration.


Creativity That Flows Naturally

Galaxy AI also empowered creativity on the Tab S10 Ultra. Drawing Assist transformed rough sketches into clean illustrations, while Photo Assist enhanced images in an instant. For creators, students, or professionals, these tools turned ideas into polished content quickly and intuitively.



Conversations Without Borders

With Interpreter and Live Translate, communication extended beyond language barriers. From global meetings to supporting multilingual learning, Galaxy AI opened the door to more inclusive and effortless conversations.


The Next Step: Galaxy Tab S11

While the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra set the stage for AI-powered productivity, the newly launched Galaxy Tab S11 Series builds on this foundation with even more intelligence, portability, and ecosystem integration. Slimmer, lighter, and equipped with multi-modal Galaxy AI such as Gemini Live, the Tab S11 Series is designed to make working, learning, and creating feel more natural than ever.


The Galaxy Tab S11 Series is now available in Malaysia.

CMF unveils Headphone Pro: its first over-ear headphones with modular design

 Today, CMF announced the launch of the CMF Headphone Pro, its first set of over-ear ANC Headphones. The new CMF Headphone Pro brings a pop of color to the legacy over-ear Headphones Category.

 





The headphone is the earliest of personal audio and today CMF reimagines this legacy category to bring the beauty of cutting edge engineering in a wonderfully designed form factor that is sure to bring joy and smile to the faces of anyone who gets to play around with it. CMF brings a touch of true personalisation starting from the customisable cushion design to the Intuitive on-device controls and sound personalisation using the Nothing X app. 


Remix Everything with CMF Headphone Pro


Headphone Pro features a unique modular design which brings both the beauty of modern playful aesthetics with the three fun colorways, Light Grey, Dark Grey and Light Green, but adds on to the modularity with swappable ear cushions that can allow users to completely change the look of their headphones and to customise sound according to their personal needs. What makes the Headphone Pro truly standalone are the intuitive controls on the headphones. The feeling of physical buttons that respond to your actions is irreplaceable and hence we’ve implemented that on the CMF Headphone Pro in the shape of a Roller that helps control volume, ANC, and Play and Pause. Along with this comes for the very first time an Energy Slider which helps you switch between varying levels of Bass and Treble that can be adjusted based on the energy of the song that you’re listening to. These along with a customisable Button makes the CMF Headphone Pro a truly unique visual and tactile experience. 


It brings Active Noise Cancellation implemented with a comfortable seal and highly power efficient chip. The Hybrid ANC brings up to 40dB of noise cancellation. CMF’s engineering teams have implemented adaptive noise cancellation that detects the level of ambient noise and adjusts ANC accordingly to provide the best experience. 


CMF Headphone Pro brings high fidelity sound in the palm of your hands, with a custom-made 40mm driver along with Hi-res and LDAC. The whole setup is powered by custom-made 40mm Nickel Plated Drivers providing a high-fidelity, low distortion listening experience. CMF Headphone Pro also brings Personal Sound that adapts itself to each individual’s ear canal shape to provide a truly personalised experience. 


CMF’s engineering teams have attained an incredible feat with the CMF Headphone Pro, bringing an unparalleled power efficiency to the battery. The Headphone Pro can provide up to 100 hours of playback on a single charge. Allowing for a worry-free listening experience that can last for days on end. 

Modular Design


Interchangeable Cushions

CMF Headphone Pro brings personalisation to the forefront with interchangeable ear cushions that lets every listener make it truly their own. More than just a functional detail, this design transforms headphones into an extension of the user's personality -  giving them the freedom to adapt colours, reflect moods, and create a look that’s uniquely theirs.


Tactile Controls 

Headphone Pro puts precision at your fingertips with intuitive, responsive controls. 

The Energy Slider lets you shape sound in real time, adjusting between bass and treble levels to match your mood. The Roller makes volume, playback, and noise control seamless with simple scrolls and presses. And with a customisable Button, you can access features like Spatial Audio or one touch access to AI instantly – smart control designed around you. 


Immersive listening


Hybrid Adaptive ANC 

Hybrid Adaptive ANC automatically adjusts to your surroundings, shifting between three levels of noise control. With up to 40 dB noise reduction it cuts chatter and everyday distractions so every detail comes through with clarity and comfort, all while reducing listening fatigue. 


Spatial Audio 

Spatial Audio makes movies and music feel more real by surrounding you with sound. Cinema mode widens the stage for clear dialogue and effects, while Concert mode brings the depth and energy of live music.


Precision Sound


LDAC + Hi-Res Certified Audio 

Stream music in high resolution, wired or wireless. LDAC ensures highest fidelity Bluetooth audio up to 990 kbps, and dual Hi-Res certifications ensure consistent clarity and precision across formats. Every note sounds detailed and true.


40mm Custom Drivers 

CMF Headphone Pro uses 40 mm drivers with nickel-plated diaphragms for reduced distortion and sharper clarity. A 16.5 mm copper voice coil, precision bass duct, and dual-chamber design deliver deeper, fuller sound with rich texture and punch.


Personal Sound 

Everyone hears differently – not just in preference, but in the way each individual’s ear canal is shaped and their hearing sensitivities affect sound perception. That’s why CMF Headphone Pro uses Audiodo technology to build a Personal Sound profile unique to you. 


100 Hour battery

Headphone Pro delivers up to 100 hours of playback and up to 50 hours of talk time on a single charge. Even with ANC on, you’ll get up to 50 hours of playback, giving you long-lasting performance without interruptions.


Charge on the go 

A quick 5-minute charge gives up to 4 hours of listening, while a full recharge takes under 2 hours via USB-C. You can even top up directly from your smartphone on-the-go, simply connect your smartphone with the CMF headphone pro using a type-c to type-c cable, keeping Headphone Pro ready with zero downtime.



Price & Availability:


CMF Headphone Pro will be available in three colour variants, Dark Grey, Light Green, and Light Grey, priced at RM429. Ear cushions will be available in Orange and Light Green for RM89.

Galaxy Buds3 FE Bring Flagship-Inspired Audio to a Friendlier Price

 Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds3 FE prove that cutting-edge audio no longer has to come with a flagship price tag. Designed as part of Samsung’s Fan Edition range, the Buds3 FE capture the best of the brand’s premium earbud experience — from crisp, balanced sound to smart integration and dependable noise cancellation — and deliver it in a package that feels unmistakably high-end yet refreshingly affordable.

At first glance, the Buds3 FE could pass for their more expensive sibling, the Buds3 Pro. The new “blade” stem design and matte dual-tone finish lend them an elegant, contemporary look. Light enough for all-day wear, the earbuds feel secure and comfortable even through long listening sessions. Their IP54 rating brings peace of mind during rainy commutes and sweaty gym sessions, reinforcing the impression that these are built for everyday life.

The real surprise lies in the sound. Samsung has tuned the Buds3 FE for clarity and nuance rather than sheer volume. Vocals sit confidently at the centre, highs are crisp without being harsh, and the bass is refined and controlled and is enough to add warmth and rhythm without drowning out the details. On acoustic tracks, guitars ring clear and intimate; pop songs feel vibrant and punchy without overpowering the rest of the mix.

Noise cancellation is another area where Samsung has raised the bar for its Fan Edition. The Buds3 FE easily hush the chatter of cafés and soften the drone of office air-conditioning, while the transparency mode lets ambient sounds flow in naturally which is perfect for quick conversations or staying aware of announcements on the go.

Equally impressive is the way the Buds3 FE slide into Samsung’s Galaxy ecosystem. Auto Switch hands off audio seamlessly between phone, tablet and laptop, while Galaxy AI’s real-time translation hints at the future of travel-friendly communication. Everyday gestures — a swipe to adjust volume, a pinch to pause and become second nature after just a few hours. AI-assisted noise filtering for calls ensures that voices come through clean and steady in typical urban environments.


Battery life is strong for the price class. With noise cancellation engaged, the Buds3 FE play for about six hours straight, stretching to around eight hours with ANC switched off. The compact case stores enough reserve power for a full extra day of listening, and USB-C fast charging keeps downtime to a minimum. The absence of wireless charging is noticeable but hardly a deal-breaker at this price.

What sets the Galaxy Buds3 FE apart is the sense that they were built with real-world listening in mind. They may not reach the thunderous lows or total hush of top-tier ANC rivals, but they deliver a polished, balanced sound, modern design, solid noise control and seamless device integration and all in a way that feels effortless.

For Galaxy device users looking for flagship-style performance without the flagship-style price, the Buds3 FE are a natural choice. For anyone else seeking a reliable, refined pair of wireless earbuds for day-to-day listening, they represent one of the most impressive mid-range options on the market today, a proof that great sound and smart features no longer need to come at a premium.

The Evolution of Galaxy AI in Southeast Asia & Oceania

The evolution of Galaxy AI underscores Samsung's strategic commitment to leading the next wave of innovation in consumer technology, not just across the Southeast Asia and Oceania region, but globally. Since its official launch with the Galaxy S24 series in January 2024, Galaxy AI has rapidly expanded its footprint, transitioning from a flagship-exclusive offering to a ubiquitous intelligence integrated across a wide array of Galaxy devices. 

This strategic rollout, encapsulated by the "AI for All" philosophy, is a clear indicator of Samsung's commitment to democratize advanced AI capabilities and fundamentally transform how users interact with their devices, moving towards more intuitive, proactive, and context-aware experiences.

We invite you to join us on this journey to make advanced AI accessible to all, transforming how we interact with technology every day.

Your Privacy, Secured: How Galaxy AI Empowers You to Take Control of Your Data

Technology is evolving at high speed, becoming more intelligent by the second. These rapid advancements have brought Galaxy AI to life, unlocking new levels of productivity, creativity and communication. But as mobile AI grows more capable, it also raises new concerns about privacy and control. 

Samsung is addressing both in two key ways: by designing Galaxy AI experiences with built-in safeguards that protect user data from the ground up, and by applying AI to strengthen mobile security and privacy protections. While both approaches are essential, building AI that handles data responsibly remains the most urgent priority.

Transparency and choice are the principles driving this work. That’s where Galaxy’s intuitive, easy-to-use privacy settings come in, helping you understand what data is used in AI processing, how it’s handled, and how you can control it. These protections empower you to make your own rules for your mobile experience — and to stay safe while you do.

 

Advanced Settings for Advanced AI

This freedom of choice comes into play for Galaxy AI experiences. With AI increasingly becoming a part of what we do, it’s only natural to want more control over how your personal data is used in relation to it. Enter Galaxy AI privacy safeguards: a set of policies and protections that go above and beyond to make sure you’re informed and protected when leveraging Galaxy AI. 

One of the ways we champion user control is through our powerful suite of AI tools that can operate on-device, keeping your data securely in your hands. Whether you’re using communication tools like Live Translate and Interpreter to break down language barriers, or editing tools like Audio Eraser  to stretch the limits of creativity, inputs are kept within the confines of your phone. These features offer a safe, responsive mobile experience that runs directly on your device, right at your fingertips — working alongside Galaxy AI’s privacy protections to give you greater visibility and control over your data. 

Since launching Galaxy AI, our vision has been driven by a commitment to openness and user choice. That’s why we chose a hybrid approach, introducing a powerful combination of on-device and cloud-based AI. This ensures seamless usability and allows users to benefit from the full power of AI for even the most complex tasks. Advanced features such as Generative Edit  offer on-device capabilities and also tap into cloud-based AI as needed for more processing-intensive edits. With Galaxy, all AI experiences are designed with your privacy in mind — even those that utilise remote servers. No matter what feature or what settings you choose, personal data is never stored long-term or used for AI training — whether processed on-device or on the cloud. Plus, with Advanced Intelligence settings , managing your privacy is as simple as tapping a button. You can even choose how your personal information is processed, including the option to disable online processing for AI features. 

Privacy is the foundation of Galaxy AI, and thanks to our growing list of on-device AI features alongside powerful settings options, so is user control.  



Intuitive Controls for Enhanced Visibility

In addition to AI-powered features, it’s critical that selecting privacy settings be easy and intuitive, no matter which mobile experience you choose. Galaxy’s Security and Privacy dashboard enables ultimate control over your data, including who sees it and how it is used, with a fool-proof interface. You can do it all — from viewing and updating app permissions, controls and data-sharing functions, to identifying which data could be at risk through intuitive safety status icons. With Permission Usage, you can even keep track of which apps may have recently accessed your data. This level of behind-the-curtain visibility across settings is unique to Galaxy, making it easier than ever to see how all Galaxy experiences are secured and built to function according to your preferences.

Another cornerstone of Galaxy privacy settings is Auto Blocker, a key feature that empowers you to secure your mobile devices without sacrificing usability. Auto Blocker protects your device by checking for malware and other security threats, while blocking malicious activity. It prevents unauthorised app installations, blocks commands and updates via USB, and mitigates zero click attacks with Message Guard. 

For those looking for an even stronger line of defense against today’s cyber threats, Maximum Restrictions  offers an additional suite of device protections. These added measures offer an extra layer of user control, giving you the choice to block 2G service and prevent data from being intercepted when connected to unsafe networks. They also prevent unintended automatic reconnection to certain Wi-Fi networks that may be less secure. 

With Samsung Knox protection and privacy settings that are easy to understand, you hold the power to decide how your data is handled — whether shared or kept completely on-device. Looking ahead, Samsung will further advance AI-powered security technologies to make privacy protections smarter, more adaptive, and even more seamless. And as AI continues to evolve, Samsung remains committed to building secure experiences rooted in transparency and choice — now and in the future.

M+Global Opens Doors to Accessible Financial Literacy and Empowerment with Malaysia’s First Stockbroking Concept Store

 M+Global by Malacca Securities, Malaysia’s No.1 stock trading platform and trusted all-in-one trading app, has today opened the doors to its very first stockbroking concept store located at KL Eco City. Billed as Malaysia’s first of its kind stock trading retail experience, the concept store elevates FinTech with a human touch to help Malaysians, particularly youth in the 25 to 45 age group, to bridge their financial knowledge gaps with complete clarity and confidence in a premium, physical location. 










The launch ceremony was attended by representatives from Bursa Malaysia, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) and featured a special tele-presentation by Toh Ee Wei, Malaysia’s rising badminton star. Malaysians keen on empowering themselves with financial literacy can level up on their learning experience through this highly interactive learning hub packed with features including a product experience zone, investment learning hub, merchandise retail, private consultation and a fun ‘Snap It’ photo zone.

“The Concept Store cements M+Global’s brand promise of “Less Guessing, More Guiding” to help Malaysians move beyond just saving to actively growing their wealth through sound investment knowledge,” said Ms. Lim Chia Wei, Managing Director, M+Global at the opening ceremony. “The store's focus on education aims to help move Malaysians beyond just saving to actively growing their wealth through a combination of expert advice, basic knowledge and sound investment strategies. In addition to our own stable of over 200 in-house licensed investment experts, the M+Global Concept Store will be playing host to an exciting line-up of sharing sessions, talks and seminars with other investment professionals, to provide a rounded and complete picture of financial knowledge.”

Financial Knowledge is Wealth

According to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), while the state of financial literacy in Malaysia has been steadily improving, with a rise in the Malaysia Financial Literacy and Capability (MyFLIC) Index from 57.1 in 2018 to 59.1 in 2024, significant challenges remain, especially regarding financial behaviour and resilience.


Surveys like the Financial Capability and Inclusion (FCI) Demand Side Survey have found that a significant portion of Malaysians remain vulnerable to financial shocks with the 2024 survey revealing that 61% of Malaysians have difficulty raising as little as RM1,000 in an emergency. What’s more, while many Malaysians claim to save regularly, savings are often earmarked only for the short term and are frequently withdrawn to cover daily expenses. 


Additionally, poor financial management is a concern, with a notable number of Malaysians, particularly young people, feeling burdened by debt from student loans and personal credit with the same survey showing as many as 26% of Malaysians feeling they carry too much debt.


Giving Digital Finance a Human Touch

By leveraging its over 60 years of experience in the financial services sector via award-winning, homegrown stockbroking company Malacca Securities Sdn. Bhd. the M+Global Concept Store will provide visitors with ready access to private consultations, tailored to their investing needs, with their in-house stable of over 200 licensed experts. This exclusive service ensures that every individual feels supported, with their unique goals and challenges taken into account, underscoring M+Global’s commitment to making investing not just about tools and knowledge, but also about guidance and personal growth.


Additionally, visitors are also encouraged to fully leverage the concept store’s Investment Learning Hub, which was designed to empower visitors with knowledge, but with a fresh twist.

Beyond the free educational workshops and seminars that cover topics ranging from investment basics to advanced strategies, the space will also host talk shows and interactive sessions led by industry voices that will make finance fun and approachable. 


Kicking things off in October is BBK Network, best known for breaking down complex money topics into fun, relatable advice that especially resonates with younger Malaysians. In November, the spotlight will shift to Financial Faiz, a respected financial educator who has built his reputation by sharing practical, step-by-step strategies for building wealth and achieving financial independence. The series is set to continue in January with a special mystery guest who will be announced at a later date.


Visitors to the Concept Store will not only get the chance to learn directly from these featured guests, but also be part of a growing community of Malaysians eager to make finance simpler and more relatable; whether it’s step-by-step guidance from seasoned industry experts or lively conversations that simplify money matters.


M+Global to play doubles with its first Brand Ambassador, Malaysian badminton rising star, Toh Ee Wei

In conjunction with the launch of the concept store, M+Global also presented its first and only brand ambassador Toh Ee Wei, one of Malaysian’s biggest badminton talents today. Fresh off her recent victory as one half of Malaysia's first-ever mixed doubles gold medallist at the 2025 World Championships in Paris, Toh Ee Wei will now extend her influence as a role model for young Malaysians to highlight the importance of taking charge of one’s own financial affairs in an increasingly unpredictable world.


“M+Global is very excited to partner up with Ms Toh in guiding Malaysians with sound financial knowledge. With her compelling background of reaching the pinnacle of success in her field in the face of much personal adversity, Ms Toh’s role as brand ambassador follows in the footsteps of her father Mr. Toh who has served M+Global for over 20 years,” said Ms. Lim Chia Wei, on appointing Ms Toh to the role. “We’re proud to see their family legacy continue to grow with M+Global and look forward to working closely with her to bring our mission of self-empowerment through financial knowledge to Malaysians. Additionally, we will look to Ms Toh to promote financial literacy and financial planning amongst our national athletes.”
