UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) said its dedication to sustainability and innovation will be on full display at the upcoming Malaysia Autoshow 2025, where it plans to unveil its latest advancements in hybrid electrified mobility.

Proton e.MAS 7 becomes Malaysia's fastest-selling EV, 3,632 units sold as at May 31
PETALING JAYA: As the Proton brand marks its first anniversary, Proton Holdings Bhd subsidiary Pro-Net reported that 7 continues to be the No. 1 electric vehicle (EV) in Malaysia, with 3,632 units sold as at May 31 – comprising 3,399 units locally and 233 exported. Achieving this milestone within just five months since deliveries began in January, the 7 has come Malaysia's fastest-selling EV. This achievement comes just one year after the launch of the Proton brand. Unveiled in June 12, 2024, the brand introduced its flagship model, the 7, on Dec 16, 2024, which has since emerged as a frontrunner in Malaysia's fast-evolving EV segment. Despite pricing pressures across the EV market, the 7 continues to perform strongly, signalling a clear reflection of the trust Malaysians place in the Proton brand and its commitment to quality. 'This strong show of support from Malaysians is incredibly encouraging. It validates our strategy, strengthens belief in the Proton brand, and reaffirms the value of investing in home-grown innovation,' said Pro-Net CEO Zhang Qiang. 'The 7's success is a strong indicator of where the market is heading and we're proud to be leading that charge.' More than just selling cars, Pro-Net is also actively expanding the ecosystem that removes barriers to everyday EV adoption and a better ownership experience. In just one year, Proton has included more than 2,500 public charging points in the Integrated Live Charging Map inside the 7 and in the app, offering a coverage of over 90% nationwide. To support EV customers nationwide, 44 Proton dealerships have been appointed, with 32 already operational. The brand has also expanded its after-sales footprint with six more 3S centres opening soon, adding to the 24 3S centres that have been servicing customers. 'We are deeply grateful to all Malaysians who have supported Proton from the very beginning,' said Zhang. 'Your enthusiasm, trust, and belief in our vision have made this journey possible. As we look ahead, we remain committed to making electric mobility more accessible, more reliable, and more Malaysian than ever. The future is electric, and it's proudly ours to build together.' As part of the Proton First Anniversary celebration, the Peace of Mind Campaign offers existing owners a complimentary 32-point vehicle inspection, covering key areas such as brake pads, battery, electronic systems, lighting, tires, wipers and air conditioning. The campaign also includes a free software inspection. Thie initiative runs from June 1, to July 1.

Switching to solar one of the best decisions
Published on: Sunday, June 08, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jun 08, 2025 Text Size: It's time for more Malaysians to join this green revolution and experience the truly rewarding benefits. Beyond the significant financial benefits, I am proud to be a responsible Malaysian citizen, actively supporting the government's goals of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and a 70pc renewable energy mix by 2030. Every kilowatt-hour generated from my rooftop contributes to a greener, more sustainable future for our nation. Advertisement For any residential homeowner contemplating the switch, my advice is simple: do not hesitate. You will not regret it. I recently had 14 solar panels installed, boasting an 8.68kWh capacity. In just two weeks, I have already generated close to 500kWh! As my average monthly electricity bill hovers around RM500, I am highly confident of reaching a breakeven point within three to four years on my initial investment of RM24,000. This calculation is further sweetened by a generous RM4,000 rebate from the Solar For Rakyat Incentive Scheme (Solaris), making the financial case even more compelling. One of the most empowering aspects of my solar system is the accompanying real-time monitoring app. This allows me to track my daily yield, see exactly how much energy my panels are generating, and even view the precise environmental impact. Advertisement In just two weeks, I've already contributed to a 490kg CO2 reduction, saved 195kg of standard coal, and made a contribution of 0.27 equivalent planting. These tangible figures truly bring home the positive difference each solar homeowner can make. Solar energy, once perceived as a luxury, is now a practical and affordable upgrade for landed homeowners. The improved access, lower entry costs and supportive government initiatives like the Net Energy Metering (NEM) scheme have truly democratised solar power. The NEM 3.0 scheme, particularly NEM Rakyat, is a game changer. Any excess electricity my solar panels generate is exported to the grid, earning me credits that effectively offset my usage. It's a brilliant mechanism that allows us to become both producers and consumers of clean energy. I was also pleased to read about the government's foresight in increasing the domestic quota for the NEM Rakyat programme to 600MW, a testament to the overwhelming public interest. This commitment, reaffirmed by the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry, underscores Malaysia's dedication to expanding rooftop solar initiatives as a key pillar in achieving our national energy transition aspirations. Let's not forget a key advantage we have in Malaysia: we are blessed with sunshine all year round! So, for those still on the fence, I encourage you to get a professional assessment of your roof's solar potential. Compare offers from certified solar panel providers and thoroughly understand the NEM application process, and the incentives you qualify for. The resources available through the Energy Commission and the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (Seda) websites are invaluable. Switching to solar power has been one of the best decisions I've made for my home and for our planet. It's time for more Malaysians to join this green revolution and experience the truly rewarding benefits.

Digital economy may look rosy, but...
Published on: Sunday, June 08, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jun 08, 2025 Text Size: MALAYSIA'S rapid digitisation has profoundly impacted the career aspirations of its youth. Traditional 9-to-5 jobs are losing their appeal as young Malaysians increasingly opt for online businesses, freelancing, and content creation on platforms like TikTok, Shopee, and Instagram. Advertisement This shift reflects a desire for freedom, creativity, and autonomy in their work. The digital economy has unlocked unprecedented opportunities for young people to generate income. Many students and young adults are successfully launching products and offering services online, reaching a global customer base from their homes. This is particularly beneficial for those in rural areas with limited traditional employment options. However, this trend raises critical questions. Are we adequately preparing youth to handle the uncertainties of fluctuating income and the absence of traditional job benefits? Advertisement Is our education system evolving to equip them with necessary digital skills and financial literacy? Furthermore, could we risk losing talent in vital sectors like healthcare, education, and engineering as digital work gains prominence? While it's commendable to see young people pursue entrepreneurial ventures and establish their brands, society must ensure they receive the necessary support and guidance. We need to cultivate a robust digital economy without jeopardising other crucial sectors of our workforce. It's essential to strike a balance and provide comprehensive support for all career paths chosen by our youth.
