OPPO Honours Frontline Staff At 2025 Smiling Angel Awards
KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 (Bernama) -- Global technology brand OPPO recently hosted the 2025 Smiling Angel Awards Ceremony in Shenzhen, recognising 163 outstanding employees from its customer service and retail teams.
According to a statement, the annual event honours staff who go above and beyond to deliver meaningful, human-centred customer experiences—an approach at the heart of OPPO's philosophy that technology should serve people, not the other way around.
OPPO Head of Overseas Channel & Retail Department, Roy Chen noted that as customer touchpoints evolve, the company is engaging users beyond the retail floor—via social media and direct communication—to create both functional and emotional value.
With more than 77,000 frontline professionals working across over 300,000 stores and service centres worldwide, OPPO places significant emphasis on the human connections its brand representatives foster every day. These individuals play a critical role in shaping how users experience the brand, both through technical support and the emotional value they provide.
The Smiling Angel initiative, deeply rooted in OPPO's core value of "Benfen"—doing the right thing and exceeding expectations—rewards empathy, creativity, and a passion for service. It shifts the focus from traditional performance metrics to recognising those who elevate user interactions through sincerity, innovation, and care.
OPPO's comprehensive service strategy includes its 6S Service Standard, ensuring a consistent and thoughtful user journey from the moment of first contact to post-purchase care.
The company's 'Care & Reach' service philosophy and global talent development framework aim to empower staff with the skills and support needed to meet local market demands while delivering a personalised touch. Initiatives like offering free cold drinks in hot regions exemplify OPPO's efforts to tailor services to users' daily lives.
Building on the 2025 Smiling Angel Awards, OPPO continues to prioritise user experience through initiatives that highlight empathy and personal connection. Far beyond an employee recognition programme, the Smiling Angel initiative reflects OPPO's core belief that truly impactful technology is grounded in human care and meaningful interaction.

Malaysia to launch Digital Trust Strategy and Data Commission by 2030
KUALA LUMPUR: The government is developing the Digital Trust and Data Security Strategy 2026–2030 to safeguard Malaysia's digital transformation. Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo announced the strategy alongside plans for an independent Data Commission. These measures aim to enhance data protection, cyber resilience, and governance in Malaysia's digital ecosystem. Gobind stated the strategy will provide a roadmap for countering emerging threats and ensuring data integrity. 'The Digital Trust and Data Security Strategy will set a long-term roadmap for building resilience against emerging threats, advancing data integrity, and strengthening public confidence in Malaysia's digital future.' He added that the Data Commission will act as an independent oversight body for data governance and ethical AI. The commission's framework will align with ASEAN interoperability to support regional trust architecture. 'By taking a proactive, future-oriented approach, Malaysia is positioning itself not only to meet current challenges, but to lead in shaping regional and global standards for trustworthy AI and digital systems.' Gobind highlighted Malaysia's role in strengthening ASEAN's collective frameworks through these initiatives. Malaysia is contributing to ASEAN-wide efforts like the ASEAN Guide on AI Governance and Ethics and the ASEAN Cybersecurity Cooperation Strategy 2026–2030. 'This architecture will enable AI to operate safely across jurisdictions, ensure consistent data governance, and extend public confidence beyond national borders.' He stressed the importance of regional collaboration to close the AI divide and foster secure innovation. 'By working collectively, ASEAN can close the AI divide, safeguard our societies, and unlock the full potential of innovation — building an AI future that is inclusive, secure, and distinctly ASEAN.' - Bernama

Bursa opens higher despite weaker Wall Street
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia opened higher today despite a weaker Wall Street overnight performance, ahead of the United States (US) inflation data later this week, as many expect this will dictate the Federal Reserve's stance on possible rate cuts. At 9.05 am, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) rose 6.45 points, or 0.41 per cent, to 1,569.69 from yesterday's close of 1,563.24. The benchmark index had earlier opened 1.41 points lower at 1,561.83. Market breadth was positive, with advancers leading gainers 125 to 88. Another 238 counters were unchanged, 2,070 untraded and eight suspended. Turnover stood at 144.19 million shares worth RM49.14 million. Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd vice-president of equity research Thong Pak Leng said as expected, the US has extended its tariff deadline on China by another 90 days. 'The US 10-year yield eased slightly to 4.279 per cent. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index ended marginally higher amid a lacklustre trading session as sentiment remained cautious ahead of the expiration of the US-China tariff truce today,' he told Bernama. Back home, he sees the tariff deadline extension on China as a positive catalyst and believes that the US may eventually relent. 'Hence, we expect the index to hover between the 1,555-1,570 range today,' he added. Among the heavyweights, Maybank added six sen to RM9.71, CIMB perked up two sen to RM6.96 but Tenaga Nasional and IHH Healthcare fell two sen each to RM13.64 and RM6.94, while Public Bank was flat at RM4.40. On the actively traded list, Classita put on 1.5 sen to 10.5 sen, NexG bagged 2.5 sen to 40 sen, Pharmaniaga and Magma inched up half-a-sen to 18.5 sen and 40 sen, respectively, while TWL was flat at 2.5 sen. On the broader market, the FBM Emas Index expanded 34.18 points to 11,681.31, the FBMT 100 Index widened 34.22 points to 11,463.94, the FBM Emas Shariah Index jumped 34.49 points to 11,682.16, while the FBM ACE Index trimmed 0.01 of a point to 4,620.21 and the FBM Mid 70 Index weakened 7.22 points to 16,588.42. By sector, the Financial Services Index climbed 58.89 points to 17,786.72, the Plantation Index advanced 52.95 points to 7,517.03, the Industrial Products and Services Index was 0.52 of a point better at 159.30, and the Energy Index appreciated 1.64 points to 737.0. - Bernama

Sibu journalists get gadget vouchers, flight subsidies from association
SIBU: The Sibu Journalists Association (SJA) has rolled out two new welfare benefits for its members, including a RM250 gadget voucher and RM200 flight subsidy. SJA deputy chairman Mohamad Alhadi Shamsawi said the RM250 PC Image voucher will be distributed in 2026 to help journalists upgrade their work equipment. 'Many journalists use their own money to buy gadgets for assignments, so this initiative aims to ease their burden,' he said at the SJA Sibu Hawana 2025 Dinner. The RM200 subsidy is for members purchasing flight tickets under a Communications Ministry and AirAsia partnership offering 50% discounts to ASEAN destinations. 'If a discounted ticket costs RM400, members can claim RM200 cashback from SJA,' he explained. Alhadi also announced RM100 birthday 'angpao' for members born between July and December 2025, following a similar payout earlier this year. SJA introduced the Tokoh Wartawan SJA 2025 Award, honouring veteran journalists with a trophy and RM1,500 cash prize. This year's recipient is former Bernama correspondent Edward Subeng Stephen, who served in journalism for over 40 years. Alhadi said these efforts reflect SJA's commitment to supporting members' welfare regardless of their media organisation. - Bernama
