Shopee Saw Its Sellers More Than Double This Year as More Malaysians Venture Onto E-Commerce

In 2021, 80 first-time Shopee sellers recorded more than RM1 million in sales within a year

Shopee continues to witness more Malaysians pivoting, or starting their businesses online as it saw sellers more than double in the past year. This shows the increasing involvement of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the digital economy following consumers’ growing reliance on e-commerce and digital payments.

Many Malaysian sellers have also been able to fast track their e-commerce growth with Shopee. In fact, 80 local sellers, who joined Shopee in 2021, achieved more than RM1 million in sales in just their first year on the platform. Some of these sellers hail from areas outside of state capitals and main cities such as Hutan Melintang, Perak; Kulim, Kedah; and Bera, Pahang, selling mobile and accessories, home and living, and health and beauty products, among others.

For
Liow Chee Kah
, 33, who runs the Woohuu Store with his wife on Shopee, he hit the RM1 million mark within the first seven months of joining the e-commerce platform. “Even though my products’ price range is fairly low, it is not impossible to achieve this amount of sales. When we started out, we utilised Shopee Ads and joined Shopee’s campaigns as well as Shocking Sale. This proved to be effective in increasing exposure to my store and attracting more followers. Now, as we continue with our low pricing strategy, customers are coming back for repeat purchases.”

Liow works in a factory that produces furniture in Bera, Pahang where the business was impacted during the Movement Control Order. He then decided to start the online business on Shopee with his wife to support their household income.

Terence Pang, Chief Operating Officer at Shopee
 said, “As we wrap up 2021, we see another year of Malaysians adapting to the pandemic, and it is now more important than ever for businesses to go online to capture more online-first customers. This year, we saw more local traders and sellers either taking their first step online or continuing their journey with us.

Our sellers’ achievements is also a testament of e-commerce’s ability to create inclusive and sustainable livelihoods amidst a challenging business landscape. We are glad and humbled to be part of their success stories, and we continue to strive to help more local MSMEs to benefit from technology and have access to the digital economy.”

To help more sellers make their mark online, Shopee celebrates local by introducing more campaigns regionally and locally to give them spotlight. Under the #ShopeeSapotLokal initiative in Malaysia, Shopee is hosting the ‘Seller of the Month’ contest where sellers are to share their journey as a Shopee seller on social media.

This year, we would like to show our appreciation to everyone for letting us be part of their daily lives through the various elements, entities and efforts on Shopee. We look forward to celebrating the year-end with all Malaysians as we bring cheer to one another this holiday season,”
Pang
 added.

Tips & Tricks to Work From Home, Away From Home, Far From Home With realme Pad

Although our nation’s government has declared the COVID-19 pandemic as an endemic where restrictions have been minimised and people are allowed to go back to work as usual, many companies have become accustomed to working remotely and have remained this way.

Working from home day after day may not provide you with the best productive environment, you have your bed, television and a kitchen full of snacks to distract you. Also, let’s be real, it can be pretty boring.

Sometimes, the best thing to do is to switch up your environment, go to a cafe, visit a colleague or friend’s home to work together, or maybe a short getaway, a staycation away from your home.
With that being said, you don’t want to lug around your heavy laptop and bulky cable wherever you go.

So, here are some tips to enhance your working remotely experience on the go with the
realme Pad:

1. Utilise Eye Comfort Feature

You may have heard of ‘dark mode’ on your smartphones, but what about an eye comfort feature suitable for any situation.  What if you were travelling in the car and had some work to be done, or you choose to work outside to get some fresh air, the realme Pad has a Sunlight Mode that would enable you to acquire sufficient display brightness to view the screen with comfort.

Not just that, if you were required to leaf through pages and pages of work, the realme pad has a reading mode feature that changes the display to one that resembles closely to reading these pages physically by simulating the texture of pages from a book.

Of course there is also dark mode, which has become a common feature in apps like Instagram and Facebook to make it easier on your eyes as you work. Plus, the realme Pad also features the night mode feature, for those days when you’re in bed with the lights out and you have a couple things to complete.
Wherever you go, wherever you are, utilise these features that offer you optimum eye comfort for every situation as you work!

You may think, there is only so much a tablet can do and it doesn’t offer as much convenience as a laptop. But what if you can create multiple windows on one screen to make your work easier, not having to open and close different windows or tabs as you work.

You can use the realme Multi-Window Mode feature to give you the convenience you need as you work at the palm of your hands. You can multi-task with such ease where you can actually be in a conference call with your colleagues or join a video meeting, while you complete any pending work you may have.

3. Dual-Mic Noise Cancellation

A very worrisome situation when you’re away from home, is the surrounding noise that may interfere with any important meetings you may have or emergency calls and conferences.

What if you were at your family’s home and the surrounding is noisy with people talking and the tv running, it would be a massive interference when you turn on your mic to weigh in at your meeting.

The realme Pad features a real nifty and sought after feature by many to be able to join meetings and have calls no matter what the situation is.

The dual-mic noise cancellation feature on the tablet enables you to turn on your mic and speak without having the surrounding sound get caught on the mic. So your voice would appear as the primary sound, and be loud and clear throughout the meeting.
If you are looking for a convenient and easy way to work on the move and away from home, get the realme Pad which is available on realme’s Official Store on Shopee from RM899 with different colors and storage variants, from 3+32GB to 4+64GB.

AI Wash
, use the inbuilt sensors to detect the weight and dirt level of the laundry to determine the cycle length and optimal amount of water and detergent, and use
AI Control
 to let your washing machine suggest settings based on your wash history.

Trend Micro Prediction Report Forecasts Cyber Fightback in 2022

Report offers actionable insights for overburdened security teams

Trend Micro Incorporated
, a global cybersecurity leader, today predicted global organizations will emerge more alert and better prepared in 2022 thanks to a comprehensive, proactive, cloud-first approach to mitigating cyber risk.

Research, foresight, and automation are critical for organizations to manage risk and secure their workforce. Trend Micro blocked 40.9 billion email threats, malicious files, and malicious URLs for customers in the first half of 2021 alone – a 47% year-over-year increase. In Malaysia, Trend Micro detected and blocked 232,701,368 attacks, where over half consisted of email threats – registering a 24% year-over-year increase in the corresponding period.

“We have more cybersecurity researchers embedded across the globe than any competitor, and those insights and discoveries are used widely within the industry and power our own product offerings,” said Kevin Simzer, Chief Operating Officer, Trend Micro. “These teams power much of the threat intelligence for which we are renowned.”

Trend Micro researchers predict that threat actors in 2022 will focus ransomware attacks on cloud and data center workloads and exposed services to take advantage of the large number of employees continuing to work from home. Vulnerabilities will be weaponized in record time and chained with privilege escalation bugs to drive successful campaigns, according to the report.

“It’s been a tough couple of years for cybersecurity teams in Malaysia, disrupted by work-from-home mandates due to the Movement Control Order (MCO) and challenged as corporate attack surfaces have exploded in size,” said Goh Chee Hoh, Managing Director for Malaysia and Nascent Countries, Trend Micro. “However, as hybrid work emerges and more certainty returns day-to-day, security leaders will be able to plot a robust strategy to plug gaps and make the bad guys work much harder.”

IoT systems, global supply chains, cloud environments, and DevOps functions will be in the crosshairs. More sophisticated commodity malware strains will be aimed at SMBs.

However, Trend Micro predicts that many organizations will be ready for the challenge as they build out and implement a strategy to proactively mitigate these emerging risks via:

Stringent server hardening and application control policies to tackle ransomware
Risk-based patching and a high-alert focus on spotting security gaps
Enhanced baseline protection among cloud-centric SMBs
Network monitoring for greater visibility into IoT environments

Curious to know which is most suitable for you? Here are Samsung’s recommendations on which soundbar you should go for based on your needs:

For gamers:

If you own a gaming console and have been looking for an immersive sound experience, consider the
Q-Series Samsung Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
. With the ultimate 3D sound coming to you from every direction, you’ll be able to feel like you’ve stepped into your TV and are experiencing the game in the first person.
The Q800A Soundbar comes with three channels, one subwoofer channel, and two up-firing channels – which ultimately means that the sound moves around you based on the action on your screen.
Not only does it bring your games to life, but you can also experience playing music on a whole other level, as with the ‘Tap Sound’ feature, you can simply tap the Samsung soundbar, and it will recognize your device and play the song you’re currently playing on your phone.

Seamless compatibility with other devices:

If you’re looking for an all-rounder Samsung soundbar that can jive with all of your devices, you can consider the S-Series All-in-One Soundbar with Acoustic Beam and built-in Bixby Voice Assistant.
You won’t have to worry about where you’re placing it in your house as it’s designed to fill the room with immersive sound and improved audio quality with its dual-sided horn speakers and Samsung’s Acoustic Beam® technology.

All about the bass:

The bass makes a great sound system for music lovers. If blasting music and dancing to your heart’s desire is your thing, you can go for the A-Series Samsung Soundbar with the Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X feature to give you immersive surround sound simulation.
Imagine rewatching one of your favourite live concerts with the Powerful Bass Boost that’s connected to its very own wireless subwoofer – surely nothing could go wrong. The A-Series Samsung Soundbar can also connect to two different mobile devices simultaneously, allowing you and your friends to switch between your favourite playlists at any given time.

ASUS Announces Dual GeForce RTX 2060 with 12 GB of VRAM

Reinvigorating 1080p gaming with DLSS, ray tracing, and double the memory capacity

KEY POINTS

ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2060 is back, boosted with 12 GB of VRAM to power bang-for-the-buck gaming rigs
The new models — Dual GeForce RTX 2060 EVO and EVO OC Edition —  use a 2.7-slot heatsink for plenty of surface area to dissipate heat
The two fans use the ASUS Axial-tech design, with IP5X dust resistance and larger blades that move more air

ASUS today announced refreshed versions of its Dual GeForce RTX 2060 graphics cards with 12 GB of VRAM.

With all the recent advancements in the gaming world, NVIDIA and ASUS want PC building to be as accessible as possible, so the two new models — ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 2060 EVO and EVO OC Edition — are designed to power bang-for-the-buck gaming builds.

Like the previous iteration, the new cards use a 2.7-slot heatsink that provides plenty of surface area to dissipate heat. The two fans use the ASUS Axial-tech design, with IP5X dust resistance and larger blades that move more air. Barrier rings around the blades optimize its flow through the large heatsink, allowing the fans to put airflow where it is needed most without running full bore — so users get a quieter, cooler gaming experience.

In fact, under light loads, the fans will not spin at all: ASUS 0db tech spins up the fans only when the GPU reaches 55° C, and they will stop spinning once the GPU cools back to 50° C for a truly silent session. Premium capacitors and alloy-core chokes enable robust power delivery for high performance and longevity.

Finally, this reinvigorated GeForce RTX 2060 comes with a vast 12 GB of video memory, allowing plenty of VRAM headroom for the latest titles. Plus, gamers will get all the ray-tracing power of the 2060’s RT cores, and the fantastic DLSS upscaling provided by dedicated Tensor cores, enabling supported games to be played at high resolution without increasing the load on the GPU.
