Geely Unveils Galaxy A7 EM-i Plug-in Hybrid Sedan with Over 2,100km Driving Range
Geely has officially introduced the Galaxy A7 EM-i, a new plug-in hybrid sedan under its Galaxy sub-brand, aiming to combine high efficiency with extended range in a sleek, modern package. The car, which sits below the Galaxy Star 8 EM-i in the model hierarchy, enters the competitive mid-size sedan segment with a focus on affordability, practicality, and cutting-edge hybrid technology. The Galaxy A7 EM-i promises exceptional fuel economy, consuming just over 2 litres per 100km when running on petrol alone. With its hybrid powertrain, the car is capable of achieving a total driving range of more than 2,100km under certain configurations, according to Geely's internal testing. Designed to appeal to budget-conscious consumers, the model is expected to be priced around 100,000 yuan (RM58,937), positioning it as a compelling option in the growing plug-in hybrid market. Stylistically, the A7 EM-i reflects a strong contemporary aesthetic. A wide LED light bar stretches across the front fascia, linking angular headlamps that give the car an assertive stance. Aggressive lower air intakes reinforce the sporty feel, while the bodywork incorporates sculpted sides and turbine-inspired alloy wheels. Gloss black trim around the windows and a clean rear profile — highlighted by a full-width taillight and subtle ducktail spoiler — round off the striking exterior. Unlike some modern rivals, Geely retains traditional door handles, prioritising practicality over novelty. Inside, the A7 EM-i features a redesigned cabin that blends digital sophistication with ergonomic usability. The dashboard includes a dual-spoke multifunction steering wheel, a prominent digital instrument panel, and a floating central touchscreen infotainment system. Practical elements remain, with rotary media controls, physical climate control buttons, and cleverly concealed cupholders all contributing to user convenience. Under the bonnet, the A7 EM-i utilises a 1.5-litre petrol engine delivering 112hp, working in tandem with an electric motor. While Geely has not released full performance specifications, it is widely expected that the A7 EM-i will share its drivetrain architecture with the larger Star 8 EM-i, which combines a 238hp electric motor with a single-speed DHT transmission and offers a total system output of up to 350hp. Two electric-only variants will be available, with driving ranges of either 60km or 130km on the China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC). Depending on the selected battery configuration, the total range reaches up to 1,600 km, with one high-capacity version reportedly capable of surpassing 2,100km — an impressive figure in the hybrid category. Geely is expected to confirm final pricing and the official launch date of the Galaxy A7 EM-i in the coming weeks, as anticipation builds around this new contender in the plug-in hybrid market.

BD16.67mln spent on outsourced staff for hospitals and health centres
Twenty companies are supplying 1,430 workers including cleaners, barbers and programmers to Bahrain's hospitals and health centres under contracts worth a combined BD16.67 million, the Ministry of Health has said. The work is spread over 24 agreements signed by government hospitals and primary care centres, covering everything from security and transport to gardening and IT support. Funding comes from Chapter Two of each entity's budget. In a reply to a question by MP Khalid Buanaq, Her Excellency Dr Jaleela bint Al Sayed, the Minister of Health, said the contracts followed the separation of healthcare bodies from the ministry as part of a wider shift to give hospitals and clinics more say in their own dayto-day operations. Each body is now able to make its own arrangements so long as it sticks to the public tender law, its executive rules and the state's financial rulebook. Hospitals signed 13 contracts with nine companies to supply 1,008 workers. The largest of these was a BD3.705 million deal for cleaning Salmaniya Medical Complex. Other sums included BD563,612 for cleaning services at Jidhafs Maternity Hospital and several health centres, BD646,937 for administrative offices, BD34,584 for the Psychiatric Hospital and BD9,900 for Muharraq Special Healthcare Centre. Transport work was covered by a BD192,000 deal for 21 drivers. Laundry duties were filled under a BD327,000 contract for 29 staff.

Russell says F1 drivers want less talk, more action from FIA boss
George Russell said Formula One drivers wanted more than words from FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem in a lukewarm response to a mooted change in the rules concerning punishment for misconduct, including swearing. Ben Sulayem, the Emirati head of the governing body, said on Instagram this week he was considering "improvements" to appendix B of the FIA's International Sporting Code after feedback from drivers across several series. Rally drivers had been up in arms over stiff fines imposed for swearing, as had their F1 contemporaries. Asked at the Miami Grand Prix on Thursday if he saw Ben Sulayem's words as a positive step, Mercedes driver Russell, a director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA), replied: "Conceptually, yes. "But obviously we want to see these things put into action rather than saying 'we're considering things'. We all consider a lot of things. "We're clear we want changes. Once they are implemented, then we'll comment on it. But for the time being it's being considered. The words don't mean anything until the change has been made." Appendix B covers stewards' penalty guidelines, setting out punishments for misconduct including words, deeds or writings that might have caused moral injury to the FIA or motorsport in general. A first offence in Formula One incurs a €40,000 (R836,937) fine, rising to €80,000 (R1,673,874) for the second and €120,000 (R2,510,395) with a one-month suspension and deduction of championship points for a third breach. Ben Sulayem's term in office runs out this year and he is expected to seek renewal. No rival candidate has emerged to date. "It'll be great if changes were made and the drivers were at least heard," said Russell. "I think it's in the best interest for the sport and ensuring some common sense is sort of applied to these situations," he added. " I think all of us can comment on it when we see the action being taken, rather than the consideration." Russell said the GPDA was set up to talk about safety rather than politics. but he was talking more and more about other subjects. "We find ourselves in a time where we're not focused on why we're all here," he said "We're here to go racing, we're here to create the best show for the fans, to have the fastest cars, the safest cars, the best technology, the best engineering, and yet we talk about fines and punishments and swearing."
