Planning a quick escape to Singapore is a whole lot easier now. AirAsia Move has recently teamed up with Singapore Tourism Board (STB) to offer Malaysian and Thai travellers seamless travel experiences, with perks and personalised recommendations available on the app.
What this means is that when travellers look for flights or hotel stays from the app, nearby events and attraction offerings will be featured. This allows visitors to make the most out of their itinerary.
The initiative includes Muslim-friendly options, making it easier for Muslim holidaymakers to look for halal food and prayer facilities throughout the city.
Using technology and user data, STB and AirAsia Move tailor suggestions based on each traveller's interests and preferences – whether it is popular landmarks, cultural attractions, or local street eats.
AirAsia Move's chief executive officer Nadia Omer said in a press statement: 'By leveraging our digital ecosystem and consumer insights, we aim to enhance conversion and engagement while simplifying travel planning to Singapore.'
Travellers can explore these offerings via the AirAsia Move app.
Additionally, AirAsia Move is also jointly working with Royal Brunei Airlines to give users more flight options across Asia, the Middle East, and Britain, all of which can be booked in one place.
Royal Brunei Airlines' sales and marketing manager Noor Hidayah Abdullah said in a statement, 'This partnership enhances the accessibility of our flights and improves the overall booking experience. The intuitive interface of the app simplifies the process, making travel planning effortless for our passengers.'
Now working with over 70 airline partners and offering access to more than 900,000 hotels around the world, AirAsia Move is fast-becoming a one-stop platform for every kind of traveller.

Anwar shares royal compliment on Malaysia's medical expertise

PETALING JAYA: Sultan of Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah praised the quality and expertise of doctors at the National Heart Institute (IJN) after receiving treatment there. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim conveyed this during the Higher Education Ministry's Ilmuan Malaysia Madani forum titled "Transport for the People: Balancing Affordability, Quality and Sustainability of Public Transport." "His Majesty told me that, as someone with exposure to and experience with some of the world's best medical centres, he was very satisfied with the quality of service, excellence, and expertise of our doctors at IJN," he said. Anwar added that while the government welcomes criticism, Malaysians should also recognise national achievements, especially in healthcare. "So while we allow criticism, which is not a problem, we must also recognise the strengths we have, and there must be the drive to push ourselves to do better," he said. The Sultan of Brunei was in Kuala Lumpur for the 46th Asean Summit with other regional leaders. On May 27, he was reportedly feeling fatigued and was advised by health experts to rest at IJN. Anwar also spoke about his conversation with President of Guinea-Bissau General Umaro Sissoco Embaló, during which he asked why Malaysia was chosen despite limited bilateral trade. "His answer was that he follows developments here and sees Malaysia as a country on the rise, with significant potential. That's why he chose to come," he said. Embaló arrived today for a three-day visit—his first since taking office as president in February 2020. Malaysia and Guinea-Bissau established diplomatic relations in November 1974. In 2024, Malaysia's total trade with Guinea-Bissau reached RM4.1 million, with Malaysian exports amounting to RM4.04 million and imports standing at RM0.06 million.

Jun Hao reaches second round, Aaron-Wooi Yik bows out

PETALING JAYA: Men's singles shuttler Leong Jun Hao had little trouble checking into the second round of the Indonesian Open after dispatching home favourite Chico Dwi Wardoyo on Wednesday (June 4). In the opening round clash at Istora Senayan in Jakarta, Jun Hao produced a composed performance to seal a 21-13, 21-12 win in just 40 minutes. Awaiting him in the second round on Thursday (June 5) was the winner of the first-round tie between Canada's Brian Yang and fourth seed Li Shifeng of China. In the women's singles, Goh Jin Wei's campaign came to an end after she fell to Scotland's Kirsty Gilmour 20-22, 16-21 in 37 minutes. Malaysia's biggest blow of the day, however, came in the men's doubles when third seeds Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik were shown the exit in a surprise upset. Fresh from winning the Singapore Open last week, Aaron-Wooi Yik were edged out by Denmark's Rasmus Kjaer-Frederik Sogaard 13-21, 21-19, 18-21. It was sweet revenge for the Danes, who had lost to the Malaysian pair in back-to-back tournaments at the Malaysian Masters and Singapore Open over the past two weeks.

CPO Futures Likely To Trade Sideways Next Week Amid Limited Market Catalysts, Shorter Week

By Siti Noor Afera Abu KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 (Bernama) -- The crude palm oil (CPO) futures contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives is expected to move sideways next week due to limited market catalysts and a shorter trading week. Palm oil trader David Ng said the lack of fresh trading cues will likely keep the market range-bound in the near term. 'We expect the commodity to trade between RM3,750 and RM3,950 per tonne,' he said. Cargo surveyors expect exports of Malaysian palm oil products during May 1-25 to rise between 7.3 per cent and 11.6 per cent, compared with the same period a month ago. Meanwhile, Fastmarkets Palm Oil Analytics senior analyst Dr Sathia Varqa said market participants will be keenly watching for May supply and demand estimates from newswire polling and the full month production data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Association, including data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), due on June 10. On a Friday-to-Friday basis, the spot-month June 2025 contract rose RM64 to RM3,888 per tonne, July 2025 was RM55 higher at RM3,891 per tonne, and August 2025 added RM51 to RM3,878. The September 2025 note rose RM49 to RM3,870 per tonne, October 2025 edged up RM46 to RM3,870, and November 2025 gained RM43 to RM3,874. The weekly trading volume was down to 281,987 lots from 331,960 the previous week, while open interest narrowed to 241,994 contracts from 244,075.
