M'sian says second-hand cars are underrated
A post on r/kereta has gone viral after a Redditor argued that second-hand cars are 'underrated' and often the smarter choice compared to buying brand new. The user, RandomRed189273, wrote: 'Buying a second-hand car is almost always the smarter move. And you shouldn't always associate a used car with being crappy or poor. 'Buying a second-hand car is almost always the smarter move. Depreciation kills new car value — you're letting someone else eat that huge initial cost. Even with renovations and maintenance, you'll still pay less than the original price.'

'A high-value car doesn't suddenly become trash because it's second-hand. For example, you might find a used Lexus for RM40,000, while the same amount would only get you a new Myvi. Who's with me?' The post quickly gained traction, sparking a lively discussion among Malaysians about whether used cars are a better deal than brand new vehicles. 'I'm mechanically savvy, so a used car is all the rage with me. To me it's worth it — but to my wife, not so much,' said Superb_Ratio6484.

Plus spare cash to fix the car?' piol91 noted that repairs aren't always as costly as people think: 'Even cars around 5–10k may not cost much to fix up. As long as processing fees aren't ridiculous, it's fine.' Weary-Category-9249 highlighted risks for pricier models: 'Not valid for RM40k+ cars. Wear and tear will cost a lot more. Better to buy new.'

Over 1,300 shuttlers smash their way through Haier Cup 2025
THE Haier Cup 2025 comes to a close after 3 months, drawing over 1,300 amateur badminton shuttlers from across the country. The tournament ended on a high note with a series of exciting final matches, marking the close of this year's edition with standout performers from all categories, including more than 500 junior players as young as seven years old. The champions from Kuching, Johor Bahru, Penang and Kuala Lumpur clinched top honours across the four main categories of men's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles to take home a share of RM60,000 in cash and Haier products. The shuttlecocks may have stopped flying for now but come October, these winners will carry the Malaysian flag to Bali to battle the best from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam in the Haier Cup regional stage. For the first time, the tournament welcomed the Haier Cup Junior 2025, a bold step in Haier's commitment to nurture the country's next badminton stars. Held in Kuala Lumpur on 19 and 20 July, the junior tournament attracted over 500 enthusiastic young shuttlers aged 7 to 21. Fierce rallies and nail-biting finishes marked the boys and girls singles and doubles categories, proving that Malaysia has an untapped pool of future badminton champions. 'The enthusiasm we have seen from both participants and the public is a strong testament to how much the Haier Cup resonated with communities across the country. 'It has been deeply rewarding to witness how this tournament continues to break barriers, create connections, and unite people from diverse backgrounds,' said Haier Branding Marketing Assistant, Julian Thean.
