Setel, TNG Digital team up for fuel payments at Petronas
This initiative reflects a shared ambition to merge fuel payments, rewards and loyalty into a unified digital experience for Malaysian motorists.
The integration allows users to pay for fuel directly through the 'Petronas via Setel' mini programme in the TNG eWallet, without leaving their vehicle or downloading an additional app.
Setel chief executive officer Abdullah Ayman Awaluddin said this partnership reflects the group's ongoing commitment to scale Setel's platform through ecosystem integration that delivers meaningful impact.
"Embedding Setel within TNG eWallet allows us to meet users where they are and reinforces our vision to deliver seamless and frictionless mobility and retail experiences through digital innovation," he said in a statement.
Adding this, TNG Digital chief executive officer Alan Ni said this collaboration makes the process faster and more accessible while creating new touchpoints within Petronas' nationwide network.
To drive adoption, the companies are offering a limited-time promotion, rewarding the first 50,000 eligible transactions made through the TNG eWallet mini programme with RM5 worth of Mesra Rewards points.
This applies to new users of Setel and Mesra Rewards, as well as existing Mesra users linking their identification to Setel for the first time. Users will also earn GOrewards points for transactions made through the mini programme.

PENANG'S SEAFRONT GETS STYLISH NEW LANDMARK
COME April next year, Penang island will no longer just be admired for its heritage and food, it will be celebrated as a lifestyle capital with the launch of The Waterfront Shoppes, the latest and most ambitious phase of THE LIGHT Waterfront Penang in Gelugor. IJM Land Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Tony Ling said the 1.5 million-square-foot retail destination designed as a lifestyle landmark will be offering up a curated mix of fashion boutiques, artisanal cafes, flagship stores and immersive attractions. 'Rising from premium seafront land, it is more than just a mall and has been envisioned as a vibrant, all-day destination for locals and tourists alike, where every visit promises discovery and delight. 'Also making its mark on the horizon is the Penang Waterfront Convention Centre (PWCC), scheduled to open this October. 'With a massive 76,000-square-foot, column-free exhibition hall, which is the largest in the northern region, PWCC can host up to 5,500 guests and is set to become the Pearl of the Orient's premier venue for international events, banquets and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) conventions. 'PWCC, managed by KinMalaysia Management Sdn Bhd, the Malaysian subsidiary of South Korea's KINTEX (Korea International Exhibition Center), is already 70% booked for October. Ling describes The LIGHT Waterfront as a modern, integrated development that embodies the '15-minute city' concept, with everything a person needs accessible by foot. — CHAN BOON KAI/The Star 'PWCC is seamlessly integrated into THE LIGHT ecosystem, offering direct access to hotels, shopping and dining options, all within walking distance,' he said in a recent interview. Ling said adding to the allure of the integrated development are two international hotels located in The Light Exchange, which will also have offices, that will elevate Penang's hospitality scene by April next year. 'The 156-room JdV by Hyatt will offer a vibrant, design-forward escape, while the 303-room Galaxy Minyoun Hotel is crafted for those seeking sophisticated comfort and panoramic sea views under one roof. 'Interested buyers can now register their interest to enjoy early bird perks for Merione, a 39-storey tower set to further redefine mixed-use living in Malaysia, with a preview scheduled for the end of this month. 'To be built on 0.76ha (1.88 acres) of prime waterfront land within THE LIGHT Waterfront Penang, the tower will integrate 32 retail units, 72 shop or office units, 93 business suites and 145 premium residences in three layouts of 1,050 and 1,197 square feet. 'Residents and business owners will share access to a suite of exclusive facilities including an infinity pool, gym, steam rooms, BBQ pavilions, a pickleball court and children's playground, the first of its kind in Penang where commercial and residential spaces coexist in such harmony,' he added. Ling said the full 61.5ha (152 acres) development is being completed in phases, with Phase 1 comprising The Light Linear, The Light Point and The Light Collection, already fully sold and occupied. The LIGHT Waterfront Penang is set to be a lifestyle destination, blending residential, retail, hospitality and leisure spaces by the sea. — Photo courtesy of IJM Land 'Phase 2, a 41.7ha (103 acres) expansion, is now underway and will be progressively completed by 2033. Key milestones ahead include Mezzo (Q3 2025), Lin Xiang Xiong Art Gallery (Q4 2025), Lightwater Residences (2029), The Waterfront Shoppes (Q2 2026) and Merione. 'Located just a stone's throw from Penang Bridge and directly linked to the future Penang Waterfront Station on the Mutiara Light Rapid Transit (LRT) line, the development ensures seamless connectivity to the airport, ferry terminal, Bayan Lepas FTZ and the rest of the island. 'There will also be covered walkway from the LRT station to The Waterfront Shoppes, and with top schools, malls and hospitals within minutes, THE LIGHT Waterfront Penang is set to become the most connected and complete township on Penang's eastern corridor,' he added. Ling also described THE LIGHT Waterfront Penang as a vibrant integrated development along the island's eastern seafront, designed to combine residential, commercial, hospitality, retail and leisure spaces in one compact area. 'Everything is within walking distance. This close integration of facilities mirrors the global waterfront city '15-minute city' concept, where daily needs are accessible within a short walk or bicycle ride. 'Strategically located next to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, the development offers strong connectivity to the rest of Penang. 'It is just a few kilometers from the Penang Bridge, the airport and the ferry terminal. 'This accessibility ensures residents and visitors can easily connect to key destinations while still enjoying the convenience of a self-contained community. 'A 750m waterfront promenade links the residential, retail and leisure zones, encouraging walking and outdoor activities. This focus on public spaces not only enhances the quality of life but also fosters a vibrant, active community atmosphere along the scenic coastline. 'Modern living is further supported by smart city features including fibre-optic infrastructure and site-wide Wi-Fi, together, these elements create a connected, sustainable and convenient urban environment,' he said. From the shoreline to the skyline, THE LIGHT Waterfront Penang is more than a project, it is Penang's future, shining brighter than ever. For more details, visit

‘Nasi kerabu' metaphor of US-Malaysia ties at independence day do
The US Marine Corps presenting the flags during the reception. — Photos: CHAN TAK KONG/The Star A UNIQUE parallel was drawn between the United States-Malaysia partnership and a plate of our beloved nasi kerabu during the celebration of the US Independence Day. US Ambassador to Malaysia Edgard D. Kagan, in his address, noted the dish's red, white and blue hues along with its variety of ingredients and spice as a perfect metaphor for the sometimes 'spicy' relationship between both nations. 'Beyond the ties between the United States and Malaysia, one of my favourite things is the food. 'If you look at a plate of nasi kerabu, you'll see some red, some white and some blue. 'I think that reflects the partnership between our countries: there's variety and a little bit of spice. 'There are times when the relationship of both countries is a little spicier than we'd like, but it also makes it interesting and it means that when we work together it is so valuable and means so much to us,' he said at the event earlier this week by the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur to celebrate the 249th anniversary of US independence. The celebration at St Regis Hotel Kuala Lumpur was attended by members of the Malaysian government, foreign heads of mission and business leaders from both the US and local companies. Kagan (right), with Amir Hamzah on stage, making a toast at the US Independence Day celebration in Kuala Lumpur. The US Independence Day falls on July 4. Guest-of-honour Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan was welcomed by Kagan, before being escorted to the stage by US Marine Corps personnel. They then toasted to the prosperity and enduring ties between both governments and countries. This was followed by the playing of the national anthems Negaraku and The Star-Spangled Banner. Kagan expressed gratitude to his embassy colleagues and the hotel for making the event a success. 'Recently, I've had the great pleasure of working together with Malaysian colleagues on the Cambodia-Thailand ceasefire. 'I just want to say that it's been so wonderful seeing the tremendous professionalism of our Malaysian friends as we worked together to try and deal with a real problem,' he added. Also present at the celebration were Armed Forces chief Jeneral Tan Sri Mohd Nizam Jaffar, the embassy's deputy chief of mission David Gamble, Amir Hamzah's wife Datin Seri Aidah Abu and Kagan's wife Cynthia L. Gire. Guests enjoyed performances by Orkestra Kuala Lumpur from Kuala Lumpur City Hall. Also featured at the event was a spread of American food, with regional favourites such as roast chicken with Cajun sauce, deep-fried cod fish and chips as well as a selection of desserts.

Najib betrayed public's trust, court told
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here was told that former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak betrayed the public's trust by misusing RM42mil from SRC International Sdn Bhd, funds that were meant to benefit Malaysia's energy future and civil service pensioners. Counsel Kwan Will Sen, representing SRC International and its subsidiary, Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd, in a civil suit against Najib, said it has been 10 years since the money ended up in Najib's personal accounts and now, the two companies want it returned. Kwan made these remarks while delivering the opening statement on the first day of the trial in the civil suit filed by SRC International and Gandingan Mentari against Najib, who is the sole defendant. 'Three courts, namely the High Court, Court of Appeal and Federal Court, have already found him criminally guilty of these very acts beyond a reasonable doubt. 'Najib was the finance minister at the time and had full control over SRC International. He held key positions, including that of adviser emeritus. 'As such, no significant transaction occurred without his knowledge or consent,' he said yesterday, Bernama reported. Kwan added that evidence will show the RM42mil was transferred from SRC International and ultimately ended up in Najib's personal bank accounts. Of this sum, RM32mil was immediately transferred to two companies that had previously covered shortfalls in Najib's accounts. 'These transfers were made pursuant to instruction letters bearing his personal signature. 'The remaining RM10mil was spent through personal cheques issued by Najib himself. 'We say that the money trail is clear, the documentary evidence is overwhelming, and Najib's own sworn admissions are damning. 'We will prove our case under three complementary causes of action: knowing receipt, dishonest assistance and misfeasance in public office. 'On any of these grounds, justice demands that these public funds be returned to their rightful owners, the Malaysian people,' Kwan said. The court also heard testimony from the first witness, former chief executive officer of Yayasan Rakyat 1Malaysia, Ung Su Ling, 57, whose appointment was approved by Najib. The hearing before Justice Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin Shah Raja Mohzan is set to continue on Nov 6. The lawsuit, filed in May 2022, accuses Najib of breach of fiduciary duties, knowing receipt of funds, dishonest assistance, tort of misfeasance in public office, and abuse of power in relation to the misappropriation of SRC International funds.
