China's top diplomat visits India for crucial border talks
BEIJING: China's top diplomat Wang Yi will visit India next week for critical border negotiations, Beijing's foreign ministry confirmed on Saturday. The talks, scheduled from August 18 to 20, mark the 24th special representatives meeting on the China-India boundary issue. 'Wang Yi will upon invitation visit India and hold the 24th special representatives meeting on the China-India border issue,' a spokesperson stated. Border trade between the two nations, previously conducted through Himalayan passes, was modest but symbolically important. Trade halted after a deadly 2020 clash between troops along the disputed frontier. Indian media earlier reported Wang's expected arrival in New Delhi for Monday's discussions. His counterpart, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, visited Beijing in July, signalling warming ties. The Asian giants have historically vied for influence across South Asia. Recent global trade tensions under former US President Donald Trump's policies pushed both toward reconciliation. Officials from both sides recently confirmed discussions on reviving border trade. Efforts to restore direct flights and tourist visas further indicate improving relations. - AFP

PENANG'S SEAFRONT GETS STYLISH NEW LANDMARK
COME April next year, Penang island will no longer just be admired for its heritage and food, it will be celebrated as a lifestyle capital with the launch of The Waterfront Shoppes, the latest and most ambitious phase of THE LIGHT Waterfront Penang in Gelugor. IJM Land Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Tony Ling said the 1.5 million-square-foot retail destination designed as a lifestyle landmark will be offering up a curated mix of fashion boutiques, artisanal cafes, flagship stores and immersive attractions. 'Rising from premium seafront land, it is more than just a mall and has been envisioned as a vibrant, all-day destination for locals and tourists alike, where every visit promises discovery and delight. 'Also making its mark on the horizon is the Penang Waterfront Convention Centre (PWCC), scheduled to open this October. 'With a massive 76,000-square-foot, column-free exhibition hall, which is the largest in the northern region, PWCC can host up to 5,500 guests and is set to become the Pearl of the Orient's premier venue for international events, banquets and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) conventions. 'PWCC, managed by KinMalaysia Management Sdn Bhd, the Malaysian subsidiary of South Korea's KINTEX (Korea International Exhibition Center), is already 70% booked for October. Ling describes The LIGHT Waterfront as a modern, integrated development that embodies the '15-minute city' concept, with everything a person needs accessible by foot. — CHAN BOON KAI/The Star 'PWCC is seamlessly integrated into THE LIGHT ecosystem, offering direct access to hotels, shopping and dining options, all within walking distance,' he said in a recent interview. Ling said adding to the allure of the integrated development are two international hotels located in The Light Exchange, which will also have offices, that will elevate Penang's hospitality scene by April next year. 'The 156-room JdV by Hyatt will offer a vibrant, design-forward escape, while the 303-room Galaxy Minyoun Hotel is crafted for those seeking sophisticated comfort and panoramic sea views under one roof. 'Interested buyers can now register their interest to enjoy early bird perks for Merione, a 39-storey tower set to further redefine mixed-use living in Malaysia, with a preview scheduled for the end of this month. 'To be built on 0.76ha (1.88 acres) of prime waterfront land within THE LIGHT Waterfront Penang, the tower will integrate 32 retail units, 72 shop or office units, 93 business suites and 145 premium residences in three layouts of 1,050 and 1,197 square feet. 'Residents and business owners will share access to a suite of exclusive facilities including an infinity pool, gym, steam rooms, BBQ pavilions, a pickleball court and children's playground, the first of its kind in Penang where commercial and residential spaces coexist in such harmony,' he added. Ling said the full 61.5ha (152 acres) development is being completed in phases, with Phase 1 comprising The Light Linear, The Light Point and The Light Collection, already fully sold and occupied. The LIGHT Waterfront Penang is set to be a lifestyle destination, blending residential, retail, hospitality and leisure spaces by the sea. — Photo courtesy of IJM Land 'Phase 2, a 41.7ha (103 acres) expansion, is now underway and will be progressively completed by 2033. Key milestones ahead include Mezzo (Q3 2025), Lin Xiang Xiong Art Gallery (Q4 2025), Lightwater Residences (2029), The Waterfront Shoppes (Q2 2026) and Merione. 'Located just a stone's throw from Penang Bridge and directly linked to the future Penang Waterfront Station on the Mutiara Light Rapid Transit (LRT) line, the development ensures seamless connectivity to the airport, ferry terminal, Bayan Lepas FTZ and the rest of the island. 'There will also be covered walkway from the LRT station to The Waterfront Shoppes, and with top schools, malls and hospitals within minutes, THE LIGHT Waterfront Penang is set to become the most connected and complete township on Penang's eastern corridor,' he added. Ling also described THE LIGHT Waterfront Penang as a vibrant integrated development along the island's eastern seafront, designed to combine residential, commercial, hospitality, retail and leisure spaces in one compact area. 'Everything is within walking distance. This close integration of facilities mirrors the global waterfront city '15-minute city' concept, where daily needs are accessible within a short walk or bicycle ride. 'Strategically located next to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, the development offers strong connectivity to the rest of Penang. 'It is just a few kilometers from the Penang Bridge, the airport and the ferry terminal. 'This accessibility ensures residents and visitors can easily connect to key destinations while still enjoying the convenience of a self-contained community. 'A 750m waterfront promenade links the residential, retail and leisure zones, encouraging walking and outdoor activities. This focus on public spaces not only enhances the quality of life but also fosters a vibrant, active community atmosphere along the scenic coastline. 'Modern living is further supported by smart city features including fibre-optic infrastructure and site-wide Wi-Fi, together, these elements create a connected, sustainable and convenient urban environment,' he said. From the shoreline to the skyline, THE LIGHT Waterfront Penang is more than a project, it is Penang's future, shining brighter than ever. For more details, visit

Celebration of Malaysia's favourite culinary creation
Sunset Terrace is serving a nostalgic journey through Malaysian flavours in the form of the beloved 'nasi lemak'. THIS National Day and Malaysia Day season, diners can enjoy a nostalgic journey through the country's most iconic flavours with a spectacular 'Nasi Lemak Buffet'. Curated by chef Amir Roslie, the buffet at Sunset Terrace, Sunway Resort Hotel in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, highlights the nation's culinary creation with a vibrant display of rice, sambal, sides and heritage hot dishes. Fragrant coconut rice, believed to have originated as far back as 15th century Melaka, takes centre stage. A charming tale surrounds its name – when a daughter accidentally spilled coconut milk into a pot of rice, her mother, Mak, returned home and asked what the delicious aroma was. The daughter replied: 'Nasi le, Mak!', which turned into the moment that may have given rise to the name nasi lemak. This legend is brought to life through Amir's creative interpretations such as Nasi Lemak Hijau Pandan, Nasi Lemak Kuning Royal, Nasi Lemak Bunga Telang and Nasi Lemak Putih, each cooked with distinctive ingredients and presented with flair. Complementing the rice is slow-cooked sambal made from premium chillies, including Sambal Bawang and Sambal Nyonya, alongside a curated showcase of anchovies, from Pangkor's Ikan Bilis Mata Biru to the delicate Ikan Bilis Jepun. Guests can also enjoy a colourful spread of traditional crackers and an array of spiced chicken, beef and fish serunding. The buffet also features rotating selections of hot dishes that highlight the diversity and depth of Malaysian cooking. Highlights include Ayam Goreng Berempah, Cockles Rendang, Chilli Fried Beef Lung, Sambal Sotong, Daging Dendeng and Lamb Rendang. Vegetarian options such as tempeh and Tauhu Goreng Kicap also make an appearance, ensuring there's something for every palate. While nasi lemak remains the star of the show, guests can look forward to a wide selection of international buffet favourites including seafood on ice, salads and sushi. The Nasi Lemak Buffet is on from Aug 22 to Sept 16. It is available for lunch on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, priced at RM188+ per adult and RM94+ per child or senior citizen. The dinner option from Fridays to Sundays and on public holidays is at RM198+ per adult and RM99+ per child or senior citizen. For reservations, call 03-7495 2009, WhatsApp 019-381 5568 or email
