Trusted, quality and affordable care: SALAM Shah Alam Specialist Hospital shines at Karnival Siang Malam
SHAH ALAM – Shah Alam Specialist Hospital (SALAM) made a standout appearance at the weekend's Karnival Siang Malam, capturing the crowd's attention with affordable maternity packages and expert consultations for back and joint pain. As the sole healthcare provider at the event on Saturday July 26, SALAM drew a continuous stream of visitors to its booth from morning until evening. Ahmad Ramli Maryakon, Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at SALAM, said the hospital's presence aimed to engage directly with the community and challenge the perception that private healthcare is only accessible to the affluent. "At SALAM Shah Alam, we focus on delivering quality, comfort, and affordability. As a multidisciplinary private hospital with 22 years of experience, we offer services in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, ENT, Paediatrics, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, and Orthopaedics "With the rising cost of living, we understand that affordability matters more than ever. While many private hospitals cater to premium markets, SALAM is committed to delivering trusted, high-quality care that everyday families can afford. We want the public to see that private healthcare can be both excellent and accessible,' he told Sinar Daily. One of the highlights of the event was SALAM's maternity package, priced from just RM2,799, which attracted significant attention. Among the highlights was Salam's maternity package, priced from as low as RM2,799. The term 'private hospital' often carries the assumption of high costs. But with packages like our RM2,799 maternity offer, we aim to debunk that myth and prove that SALAM Hospital is within reach for many families,' Ahmad Ramli explained. Orthopaedics was another major draw, particularly consultations for back and joint pain — a common issue among both office and factory workers. We spoke with many individuals who spend long hours seated at desks or engaged in physically demanding work, both of which contribute to musculoskeletal issues,' he said. They were eager to know more on non-major surgical options, such as non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments with shorter recovery times — all of which are available at SALAM. Ahmad Ramli also underscored the hospital's emphasis on affordable preventive healthcare. Good health is the foundation of a productive and fulfilling life. Regular health screenings are essential at every age — not just after 40. We encourage everyone to get screened at least once a year,' he said. SALAM, the only healthcare provider at the event on Saturday, attracted a steady stream of visitors to its booth from morning until evening. Visitors welcomed SALAM's initiative. Suhailah, 36, shared that she found the booth both informative and reassuring. It's encouraging to see a private hospital providing affordable options and educating the public. This kind of outreach builds trust within the community,' she said. Amirul, 32, an administrative executive, was equally impressed. I was surprised by how affordable the packages were. For a private hospital, that's rare. It's good to know that quality care doesn't always come with a hefty price tag,' he said. The Karnival Siang Malam, held from July 25 to 27, drew crowds from Shah Alam and throughout the Klang Valley. SALAM Shah Alam's booth stood out for its meaningful engagement, professional consultations, and strong commitment to making private healthcare truly accessible.

KL firm to pay RM6,799 for failing to honour warranty period
Lee says the KL-based computer company failed to honour the warranty on the graphics processing unit bought by him. A MAN who bought a used graphics processing unit (GPU) from a third-party reseller has successfully filed a claim with the Johor Consumer Claims Tribunal after a company in Kuala Lumpur refused to honour the product's warranty. Lee Jia Chuin, 35, said he purchased the used GPU, also known as graphics card, for RM4,000 in cash from a seller in Taman Johor Jaya, Johor Baru, in October last year. He said the receipt given to him was the original receipt issued, to the first buyer, by a company dealing in computer peripherals and software, based at Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. 'Although I paid RM4,000 to the seller, the company did not issue any receipt or bill for that amount. 'Instead, I was given a receipt dated May 2022, with the price of RM6,799 as the amount,' he said when met outside the tribunal at Menara Ansar in Johor Baru. A GPU takes the burden of processing visual data from the CPU, allowing for smoother and faster rendering of graphics, especially in games and other graphically demanding applications. It typically includes memory chips, a processor core, video output connectors and a cooling system. Lee said the GPU carried a three-year warranty from the date of the original purchase in May 2022. On Feb 15, one of its three cooling fans malfunctioned. 'This led to reduced performance or, in other words, it slowed down and affected work,' he said. Lee returned the GPU to the reseller, who then forwarded it to the Kuala Lumpur-based company for repair, on March 4. 'The GPU was still under warranty and only expired in April 2025, but the company in Kuala Lumpur refused to fix the problems, citing that I bought it from a reseller,' Lee said. He claimed the company had deliberately delayed repairs even though it was aware the product was still under warranty. 'Another reason given by the company was that the serial numbers of the GPU did not tally with the original receipt,' he said, although he maintained that the serial numbers did match. Tribunal president Hafez Zalkapli ordered the company to refund RM6,799 to the claimant within two weeks. Those seeking tribunal assistance can call 07-227 1755 or 07-227 1766, or visit the Johor Tribunal office at Level 17, Menara Ansar, Jalan Trus, Johor Baru.

Xbox ROG Ally handheld prices could be as high as £800 claims leaker
Microsoft allegedly has a release date in mind for its Xbox handhelds, with pre-orders starting very soon. During its Xbox games showcase earlier this month, Microsoft admitted that the long-rumoured Xbox handheld from Asus was real, revealing two models dubbed the ROG Xbox Ally and the ROG Xbox Ally X. The announcement was brief though, and omitted two key details: a precise launch date, beyond a Christmas 2025 window, and how much the two models will cost. A recent rumour purports to know the answer to both questions, but a separate report claims that while the release date is accurate, the price is still subject to change. The original rumour comes from eXtas1s, who frequently leaks details surrounding Xbox Game Pass. In a YouTube video shared over the weekend, he said the handhelds are aiming for an October 2025 launch and suggested the standard model will cost $499 and the more powerful Ally X model could cost $799. These are exactly how much Asus' own ROG Ally and ROG Ally X handhelds cost in the US, so it's reasonable to assume their UK prices – £599 and £799 respectively – would also match. This was already a safe assumption since making the Xbox handhelds cheaper would risk undercutting the Asus models. Why buy one of those when the Xbox models are near enough identical and cost less? Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. However, according to Windows Central's Jez Corden, Microsoft hasn't settled on any exact pricing, even though Corden's sources also point to an October launch. The obvious explanation is that this is due to the uncertainty of US president Donald Trump's tariffs, which have already had a significant impact on the video game scene and led to Sony and Microsoft bumping up prices for their hardware. More Trending Corden's report states that Asus has manufacturing facilities in Taiwan, China, Mexico, and Czechia; all of which Trump has imposed tariffs on to varying degrees. On its own, this essentially makes importing the Xbox handhelds into the US more expensive, but it doesn't help that the rules have kept changing over the past couple of months. No doubt this has made Microsoft wary about committing to a price, lest a sudden adjustment force them to increase it, which would only tick customers off and potentially lead to reduced sales. If Microsoft is indeed aiming for an October launch, though, then it doesn't have much longer to make a decision since pre-orders are expected to go live in the coming months, with eXtas1s alleging they'll begin in August.
