Where tech meets tempo
Held at NEXUS Bangsar, the day marks more than KOSPET's first on-ground event in the country. It's a quiet statement that technology can move with grace — tracking not only steps, but stress; not just goals, but rhythm.
At a glance, the watches impress with their bold faces and brushed steel bezels. But their magic lies deeper: AMOLED displays that stay bright in midday sun, a choice of magnetic, silicone or knitted straps for every kind of day, and sensors that listen to the body's quiet signals — oxygen levels, sleep cycles, heart rate variability, even moods that rise and fall with the hours.
"With the Magic Series, we've designed something that performs and inspires confidence," begins Johnathan Zheng, marketing director of KOSPET, adding enthusiastically: "These watches reflect a lifestyle that's bold, informed and in motion. It's not just wearable tech; it's a personal statement."
To bring that to life, two names familiar to Malaysian badminton fans — former World No. 10 and Olympian Lee Meng Yean and ex national player-turned- coach Ameer Zainuddin — stepped onto a pop-up court, rallying fast, clean shots that felt more like dance than sport. Each movement synced with the watches' sensors in real time, proving that what's measured best is often what's felt.
But even for those who'll never hold a racquet, the Magic series has something to offer. There's menstrual tracking for women, guided breathing for the tense, and gentle nudges when vitals drift out of range.
Battery life stretches up to 12 days, a gift in a world where we're always running low. Bluetooth 5.3 keeps everything connected without fuss. And when it comes to display size, users can choose the 1.43-inch Magic R10 or the larger 1.96-inch P10, both of which have been designed to keep clarity high and squinting to a minimum.
Retailing at RM699, the Magic R10 and P10 is sold via Shopee, Lazada, TikTok and authorised KOSPET retailers.
In a world where wearables often shout for attention, these timepieces whisper. But if you listen closely enough, they're telling you everything — from your heart rate to your heartbeat moments.

Ramssol forges landmark AI, cloud computing collaboration with Tencent, Equinix
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is set to accelerate its digital transformation by tapping Chinese expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, following a landmark collaboration spearheaded by Ramssol Group Bhd with Tencent Cloud and supported by Equinix. The Malaysia-China Tech & Trade Cooperation Exchange Conference 2025, held in Sheraton Petaling Jaya today, underscored the nation's ambitions to become a regional hub for next-generation technologies while deepening bilateral ties with China. The initiative will introduce Tencent Cloud's advanced AI and cloud solutions to the Malaysian market through Ramssol's subsidiary, Rams Solutions, targeting retail and service industries seeking to automate operations, enhance customer engagement and adopt data-driven strategies for greater competitiveness across Asean markets. Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching, who officiated the event, said Malaysia's leadership as Asean Chair in 2025 positioned it uniquely to drive regional innovation and stability. She highlighted Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's role in brokering peace between Thailand and Cambodia over a border dispute as an example of Malaysia's diplomatic and technological leadership. 'Technologies such as AI, smart communication, and cloud computing are redefining how economies grow, connect and innovate,' Teo said. 'Malaysia is proud to play a pivotal role in this journey. With our strategic position in Southeast Asia, a growing digital economy, and a future-ready talent pool, we remain committed to driving innovation that benefits all.' She stressed the need for alliances 'anchored on trust, mutual respect and shared ambitions' to build an open, secure and future-focused digital ecosystem that supports investment and long-term growth.

Malaysia's broader digital push includes the Online Safety Act 2025, which mandates platforms to curb harmful content such as scams, cyberbullying and child exploitation, while maintaining innovation and free expression. She cited campaigns like Kempen Internet Selamat reaching over 43,000 participants in 348 schools and cashless adoption drives at Nadi Centres benefiting 1.8 million users as examples of initiatives fostering safer and more inclusive digital participation. Broadband penetration currently stands at 130.8% for mobile and 48.4% for fixed lines. Ramssol Group chairman Datuk Abdul Harith Abdullah said the collaboration reflects the group's long-term strategy to position Malaysia as a bridge for cross-border technology exchange and innovation in Asean. 'These collaborative events are more than just knowledge-sharing platforms; they are strategic gateways to future growth,' he said. 'By aligning Malaysia's digital ambitions with China's tech expertise, we are paving the way for sustained innovation, enhanced bilateral trade and scalable transformation across Asean.' The conference also showcased Tencent Cloud's real-time communication platforms, unmanned retail solutions, automated parking systems and intelligent media processing tools, technologies that have transformed consumer experiences in China and are now being introduced to Malaysian enterprises. Equinix's participation ensures scalable, secure digital infrastructure for cross-border solutions, with analysts noting robust infrastructure as vital for seamless technology integration. Teo described the initiative as a model for international cooperation where the Malaysia–China relationship continues to stand as a model where innovation drives value and collaboration leads to mutual prosperity. 'Let us move forward with confidence and a shared commitment to shaping a better, smarter future for Asia through innovation and cooperation,' she said.

Semiconductor Sector To Benefit From Supply Chain Focus In 13MP
BUSINESS By Anas Abu Hassan & Nur Athirah Mohd Shaharuddin KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 (Bernama) – Malaysia's semiconductor industry is poised to benefit from the upcoming 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), as the government seeks to strengthen the country's role in the global supply chain. UniKL Business School economic analyst Associate Professor Dr Aimi Zulhazmi Abdul Rashid said the five-year plan comes at a pivotal time, amid shifting global trade patterns driven by geopolitical tensions and protectionist measures such as the United States' tariff policies. 'The semiconductor industry, which is the largest contributor within the manufacturing sector, is expected to spearhead Malaysia's climb up the global value chain. 'In light of current US tariff headwinds, it is critical to position Malaysian manufacturers as key global players,' he told Bernama in an exclusive interview. Aimi Zulhazmi said the 13MP should also outline clear strategies to advance Malaysia as a producer of high-end chips for artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced electronics. He added that the plan must align with the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, which targets a six per cent growth in manufacturing's contribution to gross domestic product (GDP), particularly through exports.
