Lotus Cars Malaysia hires NP Digital to drive digital growth

NP Digital, a leader in performance marketing, has been appointed the official paid media agency for Lotus Cars Malaysia, marking a milestone in the brand's digital emergence in the country.
As Lotus enters a bold new chapter with a refreshed product line, the partnership with NP Digital signals a shared ambition to reintroduce the iconic British brand to a new generation of Malaysian drivers.
The agency will lead strategy, management, and performance optimisation across Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google Search ads, with a focus on brand awareness and lead generation, to reach the discerning automotive audiences.
"Partnering with a brand as renowned as Lotus is a milestone that reflects the confidence global brands place in NP Digital's ability to drive real business outcomes," said Marcus Siow, senior director of business development at NP Digital.
For Lotus Malaysia, selecting the right partner was about more than credentials - it was about shared passion.
As a heritage brand making a bold return to the market with an all-new product lineup, Lotus Malaysia sought a team that would connect with the brand on a deeper level.
In 2024, the Malaysian automotive market experienced record-breaking sales with over 816,00 vehicles sold, reflecting a 2.1 per cent year-on-year increase, driven in part by the growing demand for electric vehicles.
Lotus, distributed here under Karrus Automotive Group's Lotus Karz Sdn Bhd, delivered over 200 units in 2024.
The bulk of these sales were driven by its all-electric Eletre SUV, the world's first all-electric hyper-SUV.
The dramatic growth highlights the brand's successful re-entry into the Malaysian market and reflects the evolving preferences of consumers seeking high- performance, sustainable mobility.
"The partnership with NP Digital is strategically timed to build on this momentum, helping Lotus Malaysia solidify its digital engagement with tech-savvy, environmentally conscious drivers.
"We're rebuilding Lotus Cars Malaysia with passion and purpose," said Justine Ong, head of marketing at Lotus Malaysia.
"That's why we chose a partner who believes in the brand as much as we do. When you start from scratch, conviction matters just as much as capability," he added.

Stonepeak Partners' Reported Acquisition Of Yinson Could Value The Deal At RM9 Billion

Yinson Holdings Bhd - FSO (FPSO) Helang New York-based infrastructure investment firm Stonepeak Partners is reportedly in exclusive negotiations to acquire Malaysian energy infrastructure company Yinson Holdings Berhad, in a deal that could value the company at up to RM9 billion (US$2.1 billion). The development was first reported by Bloomberg. According to analysis by CIMB Research, this valuation translates to approximately RM3.23 per share, based on Yinson's 2.784 billion existing shares. CIMB Research indicated that if the report proves accurate, these exclusive talks could pave the way for a privatisation offer for the remaining shares of Yinson. Yinson's current market capitalisation stands at around RM6.5 billion. CIMB Research noted that the exclusivity arrangement suggests the deal has entered advanced stages of negotiation. The Lim family, who founded Yinson, currently holds a significant 26.6% stake in the company. The research house also commented that Stonepeak's investment focus appears to align well with Yinson's strategic direction, particularly given Yinson's growing presence in floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) and renewable energy sectors. From a valuation perspective, CIMB Research highlighted that the indicative RM9.0 billion take-private valuation, equivalent to RM3.23 per share, implies a substantial 38.0% premium to Yinson's last closing price. Relative to CIMB Research's own target price of RM2.93, the proposed acquisition price would represent a slight premium of 10.2%, suggesting potential additional upside should a formal offer materialize.

TikTok says to increase investment in Britain

LONDON: TikTok plans to raise its investment in the UK, its biggest community in Europe, with the creation of 500 more jobs, the Chinese-owned social media giant announced Monday. The news coincided with the start of London's Tech Week, which sees British Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcoming some of sector's biggest firms. 'TikTok's UK workforce will grow to 3,000 this year with the addition of more than 500 jobs,' the company said in a statement. It added that it was investing in a new London office, set to open next year, and whose size will dwarf its current UK head office. It will take TikTok's investment in UK infrastructure to around £140 million ($190 million), the group said. Around half the UK population, more than 30 million people, use TikTok each month, making it the platform's 'largest user-community in Europe', the statement added. 'Whether through direct investment in jobs and innovation, or the wider economic contribution from millions of British businesses on TikTok, we're pleased to be increasing our investment and presence here in the UK,' said Adam Presser, director of TikTok UK and global head of operations and trust and safety. TikTok has been in the crosshairs of Western governments for years over fears personal data could be used by China for espionage or propaganda purposes. 'What underpins our continued growth is our deep commitment to safety and to creating an enjoyable and secure digital space to sustainably support creators, entrepreneurs and the wider economy, which is why we also invest significantly in safety,' Presser added Monday.
