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.

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.

[UPDATED] Tabung Haji goes digital: 80pct of transactions now online

KUALA LUMPUR: More than 80 per cent of Tabung Haji (TH) transactions are now conducted through online and electronic platforms, reflecting a growing preference among depositors for digital services that offer greater convenience and save time. Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Dr Zulkifli Hasan said TH would continue to explore ways to enhance its services for the 9.68 million depositors nationwide. "TH is also working on implementing digital submission of haj pilgrims' passports to reduce the need for pilgrims to physically visit its offices," he said during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. He also dismissed rumours suggesting the closure of some TH branches. "Currently, TH operates 107 branches across the country, with none being closed. However, underutilised branches with very low transaction volumes will be replaced by a new initiative called Tabung Haji Gerak. "Tabung Haji Gerak is a mobile service counter that moves from place to place. Its schedule will be published on social media and TH's website to ensure the public can access it easily," he said. He was responding to a supplementary question from Datuk Seri Dr Ismail Abd Muttalib (PN–Maran) regarding rumours of branch closures. Commenting on the use of the Saudi Visa Bio system for haj pilgrims, Zulkifli acknowledged that a small number of Malaysians had encountered difficulties registering their biometric data via the application. "This was due to technical factors such as incompatible mobile devices, inaccurate facial or fingerprint scans, and the need for periodic system upgrades to stay current with the latest developments." He said that Malaysia was one of the first eight countries globally — alongside Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kuwait, the United Kingdom, Tunisia and Morocco — selected by the Saudi government to pilot the Saudi Visa Bio application. "This is a recognition for Malaysia as a pioneer in this digital initiative introduced by the Saudi authorities to facilitate visa issuance." For the 1446H/2025M haj season, TH has taken several proactive steps to assist pilgrims in using the application effectively. "TH provided comprehensive guidance through its official portal, including instructions on downloading and using the Saudi Visa Bio app, complete with step-by-step registration procedures and tips to ensure a smooth process." Zulkifli added that briefing sessions were held during basic haj courses nationwide, and clear instructions were also provided in the haj offer letters issued to pilgrims. "According to TH records, all eligible Malaysian haj pilgrims have successfully obtained their visas, including those who initially faced technical issues, thanks to direct assistance from the Saudi Embassy and TH," he said.

Over 100 million TikTok Shop searches daily in Malaysia

SETIA ALAM: TikTok Shop records over 100 million product searches daily in Malaysia. The e-commerce platform announced this yesterday at an industry engagement event in Setia City Convention Centre here, which brought together thousands of local businesses, content creators and e-commerce partners. TikTok Shop Malaysia strategic partnerships director Nur Azre Abdul Aziz said the platform saw a growing number of Malaysians turning to TikTok Shop not just for "product discovery", but also for "intentional shopping". "As consumer confidence deepens, we have observed a shift in shopping behaviour where users are increasingly relying on TikTok Shop for both inspiration and direct purchases. "Our full-funnel e-commerce ecosystem is uniquely designed to empower entrepreneurs, especially micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and homegrown brands by connecting them with a nationwide audience through engaging, shoppable content," she said. At the summit, TikTok Shop unveiled several new tools aimed at helping sellers and creators grow their businesses. These include the GMV Max automation tool, Affiliate Creatives for Ads (ACA), opportunity centre, arrival discount promotions, product data synchronisation, affiliate link feature and the Star Creator badge. Nur Azre said the platform also showcased a miniature high-tech studio, where trainers and sellers can conduct training and produce high-quality live streams using an all-in-one device to improve conversion rates. "The platform also highlighted recent features, such as 30-day free returns for TikTok Shop Mall products, the introduction of TikTok PayLater for more flexible payments, and a pilot programme offering next-day delivery in selected areas in Klang Valley, Johor and Penang "For TikTok PayLater, both communities, which are sellers and buyers, benefit because it offers zero interest for both parties. "Sellers can receive more orders as buyers are more willing to spend, and with more product choices in the market, buyers tend to have higher average order values," she said. She said TikTok PayLater had safeguards such as personalised spending limits and affordability checks. She added that users could look forward to the upcoming TikTok Year-End Sale, as well as the Beli Barangan Malaysia campaign, which promotes local products at affordable prices. "TikTok Shop's efforts to improve its ecosystem have translated into impressive sales growth. "The platform recorded a 140 per cent year-on-year (YoY) sales increase during the 6.6 Sale in June, over 100 per cent YoY growth during Ramadan and Raya in March, and more than 90 per cent YoY growth during the Chinese New Year Huat Sale in January." Nur Azre said TikTok Shop encouraged local businesses to use its tools and resources ahead of the year-end mega sales season. She added the platform would offer double the number of discount vouchers for shoppers, while brands on TikTok Shop Mall will receive twice the amount of platform support in the second half of 2025. "Entrepreneurs and businesses interested in joining the platform can register via the TikTok Shop Seller Centre and access step-by-step tutorials through the TikTok Shop Academy."
