MG Motor Malaysia Launches New Cyberster RWD Variant: The World's First EV Eoadster With Scissor Doors
MG Motor Malaysia proudly introduces a new variant of its all-electric sports car, the MG Cyberster RWD now available from RM299,900. This bold new offering brings Malaysians a more accessible way to own the world's first electric roadster featuring electric scissor doors and a head-turning design.
Powered by a fully electric powertrain delivering 340 PS and 475 Nm of torque, the
rear-wheel drive MG Cyberster accelerates from 0 -100 km/h in just 5.0 seconds. Its 77kWh battery provides a 508km driving range and supports fast DC charging from 10 – 80% in only 38 minutes. The car is equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels and Brembo brake calipers, delivering confidence and control to match its performance.
Both the MG Cyberster RWD and 4WD variants feature a sleek low-slung silhouette
with a Kammback tail design, arrow-shaped LED tail lamps, and a racing-inspired
cabin trimmed in leather with Alcantara inserts and enhanced lumbar support. Inside, drivers are greeted by a tri-wraparound screen setup consisting of a 10.25-inch digital driver display, dual 7-inch auxiliary screens, and a 7-inch infotainment
touchscreen.
Engineered from the ground up as an EV, the Cyberster features an ultra-thin
horizontal battery layout that maximises cabin space while keeping the centre of
gravity low for precise handling. An advanced battery technology system minimises
battery cell expansion, enhancing safety and extending long-term battery health.
Available in four standout exterior colours Dynamic Red, Camden Grey, Inca Yellow,
and English White, the MG Cyberster pairs black and red interiors with Dynamic Red and Camden Grey, while Inca Yellow and English White come with grey interiors. A red soft top is available as an upgrade for RM2,000 above the standard black.
'The MG Cyberster shows how far electric vehicles have come – it delivers style,
power, and innovation without compromise. With the new RWD variant, we are
giving more Malaysians the opportunity to own a true electric roadster that blends
our motorsport heritage with future-forward EV technology,' said Emory QiFeng,
Managing Director of SAIC Motor Malaysia.

AI will reshape Malaysia's job market, says Human Resources Minister
Human Resources Minister Steven Sim. – Bernama GEORGE TOWN: Artificial Intelligence (AI) will reshape Malaysia's job market and create thousands of new opportunities, says Human Resources Minister Steven Sim. He said AI would not replace workers but instead create new roles and redefine existing ones in the country's job landscape. "We have to move on from what I call 'worry to strategy'. "The way forward is to ensure that our workers are equipped with the right skills to adapt to the changes in current and future economic trends. "As Malaysia accelerates its transition into a digital economy, people should shed the fear that AI will lead to widespread job losses," he told reporters after launching the 52nd ARTDO International conference held at the Eastern and Oriental Hotel in George Town on Monday (July 28). Sim was referring to a study commissioned by his ministry on the impact of AI and digitalisation in Malaysia, which revealed that 600,000 existing jobs are "at risk". He said the evidence shows that AI would transform jobs, not eliminate them. "Those who adapt and upskill will find more opportunities, not fewer," he said. Sim said a national labour market study by his ministry revealed that up to 60% of employers across 10 key economic sectors expect AI to lead to job creation, especially in roles needing advanced digital skills. "The study, which included extensive inputs from industry stakeholders, is now sharing national policy on workforce readiness. "AI is changing how we work, not eliminating the need for work. "The question is not whether AI will take over, but whether we are preparing Malaysians to work with AI," he said. When asked by the press to elaborate on the new job opportunities created by AI, Sim said new roles like "prompt engineers" is an emerging opportunity. "We still need someone to input data into the AI and someone still needs to check the feedback produced by AI. "The ministry is actively responding to these changes by expanding training and upskilling initiatives through platforms such as MyMahir, a national skills-matching portal," he said. He said under the ministry's initiative, over 33 government-run industrial training institutes and various private providers were now offering AI and digital literacy courses. "These courses are aimed at equipping the workforce with relevant competencies in an increasingly automated landscape. "With the right upskilling, workers can transition into higher-value roles rather than being displaced. "AI literacy must become mainstream. Not everyone will become an AI engineer, but basic familiarity with how AI works will soon be essential across nearly every profession," he said. Sim said his ministry is working to integrate AI ethics and governance into public awareness, recognising that responsible deployment was just as important as technical know-how. "During the recent National Training Week, between 40% and 50% of offerings had AI components, including modules on ethical usage, data protection and digital responsibility. "We want Malaysians to not only use AI but to use it responsibly. "Understanding the social, legal and moral implications of AI is a national priority. "We are building not just a skilled workforce, but a trusted digital society," he said.

AI will not replace jobs, but redefine them
GEORGE TOWN: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not the threat to employment it is often made out to be, instead, it is rapidly transforming Malaysia's job landscape — not by replacing human workers, but by creating new roles and redefining existing ones. Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong said that as Malaysia accelerates its transition into a digital economy, the public must shed the fear that AI will lead to widespread job losses. "We must move away from the fear that AI is here to take away jobs. "The evidence shows that AI is transforming jobs, not eliminating them. Those who adapt and upskill will find more opportunities, not fewer," he told newsmen here after the launch of the 52nd ARTDO International Conference. Elaborating, Sim said a national labour market study commissioned by his ministry late last year revealed that up to 60 per cent of employers across 10 key economic sectors expected AI to lead to job creation, particularly in areas requiring advanced digital skills. The study, which included extensive inputs from industry stakeholders, is now informing national policy on workforce readiness. "AI is changing how we work, not eliminating the need for work itself. "The question is not whether AI will take over, but whether we are preparing Malaysians to work with AI," he added. Sim said the ministry was actively responding to these changes by expanding training and upskilling initiatives through platforms such as MyMahir, a national skills-matching portal. He said under the ministry's initiative, over 33 government-run industrial training institutes and various private providers were now offering AI and digital literacy courses.
