SCRB acquires land in Sarawak for RM5.6mil

The Star07-05-2025
PETALING JAYA: Supreme Consolidated Resources Bhd (SCRB) is proposing to acquire a parcel of mixed zone land measuring 14,690 sq metres in Kuching, Sarawak from Globalmas Sdn Bhd for RM5.6mil.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the integrated fast moving consumer goods firm said it intends to construct a new warehousing and cold storage facility that will serve as an additional distribution centre for the group in Sarawak.
'The current warehousing and cold storage facilities are operating at almost full capacity, resulting in the need to rent additional storage space occasionally to store products which increases expenses and reduces operational efficiency.
'The new warehousing facilities will include a new warehousing area, cold storage facilities (such as freezer and chiller room to store frozen and chilled food), office, loading and unloading bay.'
Additionally, SCRB said the new warehousing facility with an expanded total built-up area and pallet space will provide the group with future growth and expansion at the same time increase operational efficiency.

Steelers CB Jalen Ramsey optimistic DT Cameron Heyward plays Week 1

The Pittsburgh Steelers have spent a ton of money on the defense this offseason. Pittsburgh signed cornerback Darius Slay, signed edge T.J. Watt to a massive new deal and then traded for and gave a huge contract to cornerback Jalen Ramsey. But they might not be done. Defensive tackle Cameron Heyward is holding out as he's demanding a raise despite signing a contract extension just last season. This standoff has been ugly for both sides and honestly, most of the fans haven't taken Heyward's side in this, noting his age and the fact he's already making millions this season. Ramsey went on Heyward's Not Just Football Podcast and made it sound like Heyward's new contract is a done deal and Heyward will be on the field when the Steelers take on the New York Jets in Week One. "We cant wait to be on the field with you Week 1," Ramsey said. "After everything goes down, everything's situated. We need all of y'all out there man, Mr. Omar [Khan]. Man, got a lot of respect for you Mr. Omar. Taken care of me, TJ, Slay. Cam is next. We excited man. We got potential to do something great if we got all our guys out there happy, feeling like they're valued. I know a little something about feeling valued and getting what you deserve. I'm with you. I'm with you." After trading for Ramsey, the Steelers gave him a 4-year, $84,700,000 contract with a paltry $19.5 million guaranteed. In 2024, Heyward signed a two-year, $29 million extension with $16 million guaranteed. We don't know how much of a raise Heyward wants but Pittsburgh currently has just over $19 million in cap space but still need to consider a new contract for kicker Chris Boswell and might want to trade for a No. 2 wide receiver sooner rather than later.

Just 22 Products From Etsy You'll Fall In Love With

A cozy blanket inspired by Taylor Swift's surprise song piano from The Eras Tour. This is the first summer in two years without an Eras show on my calendar or a livestream to tune into (a cruel summer, indeed), so the next best thing? Snuggling up with this blanket while watching the concert film (and waiting for the release of The Life of a Showgirl...) A pack of freeze-dried ice cream sandwich bites because freeze-dried candy has sufficiently taken over your FYP, so it's time to turn it up a notch, à la everyone's fave ice cream truck treat. A miniature Stanley-inspired keychain that also happens to be a lip balm holder!!! How neat! The best part is that, unlike the beloved cups, your balm won't spill out, and this won't run you nearly as much money. A photo print appropriate for hanging above the spot in your home where you and your BFF love to yap. It's not your fault you have a lot of gossip to share, life lore to impart, and complaints to get off your chest!!! A Crocs-inspired candle (yup, you read that right) sure to earn you a compliment from each person who sees it. These look so realistic, you might be tempted to try one on, but these are better suited for enjoying a sweet scent. (Just don't try sniffing your sweaty Crocs.) A pufferfish squishy toy whose annoyed lil' face is far too relatable — however, unlike this sour tiny dude, once you play with him, you might just find your own frown turns upside down. A customizable Love Island-inspired water bottle you'll want to keep close by next time you ask a loved one if you can pull them for a chat in Soul Ties or The Speakeasy. are all my fellow Amaya Papaya stans at?! A versatile linen dress bound to become your new favorite wardrobe piece. It's perfect for weddings, walks along the beach, and rooftop bar drinks after work. My apologies to all of your other dresses that will never see the light of day once this perfect item arrives. A cheeses of the world tea towel because if you're gonna have a tea towel worthy of showing off to guests, it should be one that's as informative and wonderful as this cheesy goodness. Sound off in the comments which of these is your fave. I'll go first: Gouda. An abstract painting painted by an actual 175-pound sulcata tortoise named Tiptoe. Imagine how FUN it'll be to tell your loved ones the backstory of your newest piece of wall decor!!! A social battery sliding enamel pin you'll wanna make part of your daily #OOTD so that your family and friends know if it's safe to begin a yap session with you or best to keep their distance.

A pair of huarache sandals you'll be excited to rock with jeans, skirts, palazzo pants, and dresses galore! Not to mention, these are basically compliment magnets because everyone who sees these will remark on your impeccable taste in footwear. A jelly frog soap that is so darn squishable, you'll forget that be used to wash your hands. Honestly, you may wanna keep a "normal" soap on the side, because no way are you gonna wanna do anything but admire this sweet bb next to your sink. Oh, and did I mention it smells like MINT CHOCOLATE?!!!! A set of Crocs charms you can get personalized with photos of your fur bb's face. You already spend so many hours wearing these beloved shoes, add your dog or cat's precious lil' face to the mix, and you'll want to glue your Crocs to your feet going forward. A set of fairy lights that might just put an end to your social life. How?" you ask?!

The lights will still be there when you get home, promise.) A teddy bear matcha bowl for the cutest way to make your delicious morning matcha. I know that this can't technically make your bev taste better, but I do think your drink will be so much sweeter knowing this lil' cutie had a hand in helping to make it. A camera lens flower pot that'll make for a truly photoworthy piece of decor. Taking a gorgeous plant and placing it in this unique vase? That's what I call picture perfect. 📷 Custom photo magnets for a more polished way to display mems on your fridge than flimsy photo prints barely holding on for dear life from plastic magnets you found at the dollar store a few years ago. A Y2K-inspired punch needle coaster because if your coasters look this cool, then your friends and family *may* just be more inclined to actually use one for their drinks. Now the question many will you buy and which ones will you choose?! An insulated tumbler to keep the drink of the summer (IMHO, year) nice and cold as you take your sweet time sipping on it. May not be sitting in the Italian countryside with a bowl of freshly made pasta to accompany it, so my pool in the suburbs and a Kraft Easy Mac cup will have to do. A pair of bubble and wand earrings that may just transport you back to the glory days of spending hours outside trying to blow a bigger bubble than the last — without the soapy mess, of course. If you're looking to boost your ego and fish for some compliments on a given day, these are your ticket!

LG G5 vs Sony Bravia 8 II: Which flagship OLED TV wins?

The Sony Bravia 8 II stuns with incredible color volume and excellent HDR performance, but doesn't quite match its rivals in terms of modern features. It still only has two HDMI 2.1 ports and a 120Hz refresh rate. The LG G5 delivers an incredible picture with highlight brightness that rivals the Samsung S95F. Unlike the S95F, the G5 supports Dolby Vision. Keep in mind that the G5's stand is sold separately. As one of the most exciting TVs out of CES 2025, the LG G5 definitely has some swagger in the market. It leverages LG's new Primary RGB tandem OLED panel and boasts a 165Hz refresh rate, netting it serious enhancements over the competition. But it's not the only flagship OLED making waves. The Sony Bravia 8 II OLED is no stranger to its own slew of anticipation. It took home King of TVs in Value Electronics' recent TV shootout and offers its own tapestry of HDR performance, especially in terms of color. When choosing between two of the best OLED TVs of 2025, there's a lot to consider before making a final purchase. Even if price is of no concern, you're going to want to consider features, performance, and design of both these flagship OLEDs, which I'll run through below. LG G5 Sony Bravia 8 II Sizes 55", 65", 77", 83", 97" 55", 65" Ports 4x HDMI 2.1 2x HDMI 2.12x HDMI 2.0 Resolution 3,840 x 2,160p 3,840 x 2,160p Refresh rate 165Hz 120Hz HDR Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG Smart TV software webOS Google TV ATSC 3.0 support? No Yes Processor a11 AI Processor 4K Gen2 XR Processor Given their price, you can expect the Bravia 8 II and LG G5 to be kitted with advanced technology. The G5, in particular, leverages LG's new tandem RGB OLED panel, which takes over for the WOLED panels the G-series has been using for years. This new panel offers slightly better performance in color and contrasts. Sony doesn't make its own panels in-house, which leaves the Bravia 8 II with a QD-OLED panel supplied by Samsung Display. It uses a combination of quantum dots with a blue OLED light source, giving it improved color volume. These OLED TVs are also particularly slim. The Bravia 8 II is 1.37 inches (34mm), while the LG G5 OLED is even slimmer at just 1 inch (25.4mm), both measured without the stand. Despite being slim, both TVs are still pretty hefty, with the Bravia 8 II weighing 52.9 pounds and the LG G5 coming in at 48.5 pounds. (Weights apply to the 65-inch models.) A big setback on the LG G5 is its lack of an included stand. LG figures most LG G5 buyers will simply mount the TV, owing to its incredibly slimness. But not every buyer aims to do this, making it a misstep on LG's part. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. On the other hand, Sony has an advanced setup when it comes to its stand and even the I/O on its TV. You can setup the Bravia 8 II at two different height profiles, which is nice if you have a lower TV stand. It also has a backplate, so you can hide all the inputs on the back if you want; a cable management clip is built into the TV, right below all the I/O, which is handy for keeping your entertainment setup looking clean and wire-fire. Both TVs come equipped with an anti-glare coating, which works to diminish reflections when watching in more sun-lit and ambient-lit environments. It's hard to notice the effect on either model, unlike the Samsung S95F which has a more matte-finish that some might not like. I'm going to give the design nod to Sony here. LG shipping the G5 without a stand is a big red flag, even if the G5 is intended to be placed on a wall. Winner: Sony Bravia 8 II Here's a rundown of the Bravia 8 II and LG G5 metrics tested in our lab. LG G5 Bravia 8 II SDR Brightness (10%, in nits) 465 270 Delta-E (lower is better) 1.9 3.5 HDR Brightness (10%, in nits) 2,296 1,633 UHDA-P3 Gamut Coverage 99.79% 100% Rec. 2020 Gamut Coverage 82.42% 90.55% Input latency (milliseconds) 9.2 16.3 As you can see from these metrics, the LG G5 blows the Bravia 8 II out of the water, which is interesting in light of how the G5 did so poorly in Value Electronics' TV shootout. That's just added proof that numbers aren't everything, lending credence to Sony's ideology when it comes to TV design. One thing the Sony OLED does boast is some incredible HDR color coverage, hitting 100% of the UHDA-P3 gamut and 90.55% of the Rec2020 gamut. That's pretty remarkable, especially the second number. Most TVs can barely hit over around 75% of the Rec2020 gamut and even the LG G5 tops out at a little over 82%. Delta-E pertains to color accuracy, with lower numbers being better here. This means the LG G5's 1.9 Delta-E score is better against the Sony Bravia 8 II's 3.5, though anything under a score of 4 is largely imperceptible to human eyes. So, while the G5 does have better color accuracy on paper, you probably wouldn't notice even if the two sets were side by side. It's in the brightness category where the Bravia 8 II simply can't compete. Higher brightness metrics typically translates to better HDR performance and glare mitigation, which the G5 boasts in abundance. With 2,296 nits in HDR brightness alone, the LG G5 beats most other OLEDs in our testing. Even when it comes to gaming performance in the input latency tests, the G5 dominates. It sports a 9.2ms here, which is also some of the lowest in our testing this year. Meanwhile, the Sony Bravia 8 II has some of the highest at 16.3ms. The Bravia 8 II definitely has incredible picture quality. I tested this TV myself and can attest that its metrics don't tell the full story, which is also evidenced in its title as the King of TVs in Value Electronics' TV shootout. But the LG G5 is simply the better performer here. Not only does it outperform the Bravia 8 II in gaming, but its brightness is bonkers for an OLED TV. While the Bravia 8 II does have slightly better HDR color, the improved color accuracy of the G5 makes it more appealing. Winner: LG G5 The Sony Bravia 8 II runs on Google TV, providing it tons of free content to enjoy in addition to a suite of other features, like smart home functionality. Google TV is one of our favorite interfaces next to Roku as it's super simple to use and isn't bogged down with myriad ads. It also has a robust recommendation feature that's bound to get even better through Google Gemini. Meanwhile, the LG G5 OLED uses webOS as its interface. That's not a terrible TV OS by any means, but webOS definitely has its downsides. An ad-riddled system is definitely one of the major issues facing webOS, plus LG intends to make it worse by showing you ads based on your emotions. But if you can look past that, webOS is not the worst interface, especially when you consider it comes with several cloud gaming platforms. LG has also committed to a five year upgrade path for webOS, meaning the LG G5's interface will see prolonged updates all the way until 2030. In terms of features, the G5 and Bravia 8 II share the same HDR specifications. You'll have access to everything except HDR10+, including Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG. If you want HDR10+ support, you'll have to go with the Samsung S95F OLED instead. A feature the Bravia 8 II does have over its G5 rival is an ATSC 3.0 tuner. Few other OLED TVs come equipped with the spec these days, making this a particular highlight if you want to enjoy 4K TV broadcasts. The Bravia 8 II also has some exclusive PS5 features, like Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Genre Picture Mode, though with its high input latency, these aren't a huge selling point. Sony TVs are built to be the best picture performance you can buy, meaning gaming often takes a back seat. Overall, I think you can't go wrong with either option here. We tend to like Google TV a bit more over webOS, but the latter has seen some major improvements. Plus, the Bravia 8 II's wrangling of an ATSC 3.0 tuner and PS5 exclusive features allow it to stand out. Winner: Draw LG G5 Sony Bravia 8 II Specs (25) 24 22 Design (25) 22 24 Performance (25) 25 24 Features (25) 24 22 Total Score (100) 95 92 As premium TVs go, you really can't go wrong with either option here. Even if price is no concern, both the LG G5 OLED and Bravia 8 II make for two of the best TVs you can buy right now. On paper, the LG G5 OLED does stand out with its higher brightness and better input latency. It's the cheapest flagship OLED on the market right now, with the 65-inch LG G5 OLED going for $2,996 on Amazon. Not only that, but the G5 does have a few more features over the Bravia 8 II to make it stand out, like a 165Hz refresh rate, full range of HDMI 2.1 support, and access to cloud gaming services. You can also buy it in a wider selection of sizes, while the Bravia 8 II is only available in 55- and 65-inch configurations. Sony might be the brand best known for picture performance, and that's still definitely the case with the Bravia 8 II. But taking into account its cheaper price and wider selection of features, I'd recommend the G5 here as it simply makes for a better investment.
