OPPO Pledges Carbon Neutrality Across its Operations by 2050 at MWC 2023

 In recent years, the issue of climate change has gathered momentum, with the frequency of persistent hot weather and climate-related natural disasters drawing worldwide attention to the urgent need for action.

OPPO believes that better environmental protection can only be achieved through the parallel advancement of science and technology. Following years of research and analysis, OPPO released
the OPPO Climate Action Report: Climate Pledges and Low Carbon Development Strategy
, at MWC 2023. In the report, OPPO pledges for the first time to achieve carbon neutrality across its global operations by 2050.

With technical support from global consultancy Deloitte, the report outlines five key areas in which OPPO will work towards achieving this goal: low-carbon manufacturing, reducing the carbon footprint of products, investing in options that generate less carbon, utilizing digital technology to manage carbon emissions, and collaborating on industry standards to address climate change.

Starting in 2020, OPPO has published a sustainability report each year to publicly disclose its plans and practical progress towards sustainability goals. In 2022, OPPO completed its first global inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and used this data as the scientific basis for its carbon reduction strategy. Now, in the new
Climate Action Report
, OPPO pledges to make its operations carbon neutral by 2050.

Commenting on this commitment, Tony Chen, OPPO Founder and CEO, said: “Achieving our goal of becoming carbon neutral will require both determination and patience. Guided by our mission of ‘Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World’, we promise to pursue carbon neutrality with the same zeal and commitment that we invest in our technological innovation.”

OPPO pledges to become carbon neutral across its global operations by 2050 and identifies low carbon development roadmap

Promoting green manufacturing and operations through innovation

OPPO has held onto its global position as the fourth-largest phone manufacturer for two consecutive years，with users in over 60 countries and regions worldwide. As its business grows rapidly, OPPO is equally concerned about how to reduce its environmental impact.

Among the carbon emissions generated by OPPO’s various operations, factories and data centers are the two most significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 62% and 31.9% respectively. While continuing to drive commercial growth, OPPO is also exploring innovative ways to achieve greener manufacturing and business operations.

Through energy saving and emission reduction initiatives, by the end of 2022, OPPO has managed to reduce 6000 tons of greenhouse gas emission from its operation each year. This is equivalent to the amount of greenhouse gas absorbed by 3,330 square kilometers of forest in a year.

Since 2020, OPPO has systematically carried out a series of energy-saving upgrades to key machinery in its factories. One such project has involved automating previously manually operated machines. Compared with manual control, the automated equipment can be set to operate precisely according to the real-time requirement, thus reducing power consumption to the bare minimum.

For example, with the automation upgrades introduced to the corner cutting machines, power consumption has fallen by 54%.

In addition, OPPO is also working on the construction of carbon neutral data centers. Its first self-built data center, OPPO Binhai Bay Data Centre not only uses 100% renewable energy, but also continues to explore and apply cutting-edge, low-carbon technology. One of the key outcomes of this exploration has been the research and implementation of immersion cooling technology for GPU server clusters.

We are living in a digital era, with ever-increasing demand for data storage, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing. Thus, the power consumption of data centers and their GPU server clusters is also rising significantly. Not only does this increased power consumption present a major challenge, but we must also work out how to dissipate the heat produced as efficiently as possible. Most traditional data centers rely on mechanical equipment such as fans and air conditioners to cool the building, which in turn consumes more energy and produces higher levels of CO

In order to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, OPPO is deploying immersion cooling technology for GPU server clusters in its data center. Immersion cooling technology, which refers to the direct immersion of servers in a non-conductive liquid, directly draws the heat generated during operation away through the liquid, without the need for active cooling by devices such as fans and air conditioners.

The liquid that has risen in temperature is cooled by circulation and then returned to continue absorbing thermal energy. The heat recovered is then put to good use in other areas such as heating and hot water provision, significantly improving the energy efficiency of the overall system. The deployment of immersion cooling technology leads to a 45% improvement in energy efficiency, and an industry-leading data center power usage efficiency (PUE) as low as 1.15.

Introducing sustainability into the product management life cycle

While constantly thinking about how to improve the user experience of its products, OPPO also aims to provide greener products. To this end, OPPO has made sustainability a key goal in the life cycle management of its products to minimize their impact on the environment.

While designing the packaging of its products, OPPO follows the internationally recognized green packaging principle of 3R+1D (reduce, reuse, recycle and degradable). In 2023, starting in the European market, nearly all plastics have been removed from the packaging of OPPO’s smartphones, making it 100% biodegradable and more eco-friendly.

Approximately 45% is also made from recycled fibers, sourced from recycled wastepaper or plant-based materials (such as sugarcane and bamboo byproducts), helping to reduce the demand for raw materials.

OPPO has also made technological breakthroughs aimed at improving the durability of its products. For example, OPPO’s proprietary Battery Health Engine technology can maintain 80% of the original battery capacity for up to 1600 charging cycles, significantly extending battery life.

OPPO’s progress towards low carbon development

The volume of electronic waste generated globally has grown by 21% over the past 5 years, making it the fastest growing category of household waste. To tackle the problem of e-waste pollution, OPPO has established a number of product recycling systems and launched a trade-in service in both domestic and international markets to promote the recycling of used electronic devices. In 2021, 1.2 million phones were recycled in China, amounting to a total weight of 216 tons.

This number rose to 1.3 million phones and 240 tons in 2022. In the EU and other regions, OPPO is involved in the Green Dot program as well as partnering with professional recycling firms to help recycle used products.

For a long time, OPPO has not only been investing in low carbon initiatives but has also taken action to inspire more of its peers. During the Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards at MWC 2023, OPPO Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Jun Liu, was invited to present the Tech4Good award, recognizing companies that have used technology and innovation to make the world better and to solve global challenges.

In recognition of its own efforts, OPPO was also invited to join the judging panels for the Best Mobile Innovation for Climate Action Award and the Outstanding Mobile Contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Award.

The road to a greener future is a long one, but with its
Climate Action Report
 and low carbon development strategy, OPPO is already well on the way to achieving this goal. OPPO is committed to playing its part as it works with both partners and the public to build a better future for all.

Qoala Raises USD 7.5 Million in Series B+

Omnichannel presence has benefited millions of customers in SEA with claims of over USD 30 million

Qoala, Southeast Asia’s largest insurtech company has completed its Series B+ funding round, raising USD 7.5 million. The round led by responsAbility Investments AG (“responsAbility”) is a testament to Qoala’s omnichannel growth in the region with its presence in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.

Fueled by its mission to improve lives, Qoala has played a pivotal role in the region’s drive for financial inclusion by providing accessible and affordable motor, property, travel, health and life policies. To date, Qoala’s customers have benefited from over USD 30 million in claims by partnering with insurers across its three markets.

The insurtech company’s emphasis on technology has shortened its go-to-market speed and improved product experience. Coupled with in-house upskilling programmes, Qoala has equipped its agents with tools to provide a wider range of product offerings to their customers, translating to an 85% y-o-y increase in average commission payout in 2022.

Since its Series B last May, Qoala has doubled its volume of gross written premiums and strengthened its market presence in the region. Its success in simplifying traditionally expensive and complicated policies for over 8 million customers has resulted in a positive contribution margin and improved economics.

This funding round was led by a responsAbility, a European investment firm, with the participation of Appworks and existing investors Eurazeo and Indogen, echoing confidence in Qoala. The company’s Series B+ funding success was on the back of its continued growth, a path to profitability and regional expansion.

“We are thrilled and grateful to our investors for believing in us and our mission despite the current economic climate. Through this Series B+ funding, we will further simplify insurance ownership by advancing our product offerings and experience. These advancements will strengthen our position as we strive for sustainable growth in the region”, said Harshet Lunani, Founder and CEO of Qoala.

We are excited to join Qoala’s journey of democratising affordable insurance in Southeast Asia.” said Ruzgar Barisik, on behalf of responsAbility’s financial inclusion private equity practice.

Access to insurance has been a key element in promoting financial inclusion as it contributes to a country’s balanced and sustainable economic growth and development. The funding will further boost Qoala’s product and geographic expansion, with a focus on addressing the challenges of insurance accessibility and affordability in emerging markets in Southeast Asia.

Qoala also directly contributes to the economy by providing more than 60,000 agents job opportunities, and additional revenue streams to more than 65 businesses. Besides impacting the economy with job creation, Qoala empowers the public with financial literacy across various offline and online platforms.


Ransomware Attacks in Malaysia surge by over 37% in 2022, New Report from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Finds

The report reveals insights into the latest tactics of ransomware gangs; financial, geographical and industry impacts based on data gathered from Unit 42 investigations.

Palo Alto Networks found that ransomware and extortion cases in Malaysia increased by 37.5% in 2022 with 11 reported cases across key sectors. Threat actors are utilizing more aggressive tactics to pressure organizations, with harassment being involved 20 times more often than in 2021, according to Unit 42™ incident response cases.

This harassment is typically carried out via phone calls and emails targeting a specific individual, often in the C-suite, or even customers, to pressure them into paying a ransom demand. The

2023 Unit 42 Ransomware and Extortion Report
 shares insights compiled based on findings from Unit 42’s incident response work from approximately 1,000 cases throughout the past 18 months.

Attacks in the education and manufacturing sectors have been on the rise due to their high value data and have emerged as top targets, after experiencing relatively few incidents the previous year.

The Russian-linked ransomware gang, Lockbit 3.0, was the leading attacker in the country. Lockbit was one of the most prolific ransomware groups of 2022 who ramped up activity around the start of the Russia-Ukraine war.

The total number of ransomware attacks in APAC increased by 35.4% to 302

Globally, ransomware demands continued to be a pain point for organizations this past year, with payments as high as US$7 million (MYR 31.5M) in cases that Unit 42 observed

The global median demand was US$650,000 (MYR 2.92M), while the median payment was US$350,000 (MYR 2.1M), indicating that effective negotiation can drive down actual payments

Key trends from the report include:

Attackers Add Pressure with Multi Extortion

Ransomware groups have been observed layering extortion techniques for greater impact, with the goal of applying more pressure on organizations to pay the ransom. Some of these tactics include encryption, data theft, distributed denial of service (DDoS) and harassment.

Growing Fraud Incidents in Asia Driving FIs to Prioritise Technology Risk Management Strategy
Data theft, which is often associated with dark web leak sites, was the most common of the extortion tactics, with 70% of groups using it by late 2022 — a 30 percentage point increase from the year prior.

Leak Sites Drip with Data

Every day, Unit 42 researchers see an average of seven new ransomware victims posted on leak sites — equating to one new victim every four hours. In fact, in 53% of Unit 42’s ransomware incidents involving negotiation, ransomware groups have threatened to leak data stolen from organizations on their leak site websites.

This activity has been seen from a mix of new and legacy groups, indicating that new actors are entering the landscape to cash in as legacy groups have done. Established groups like BlackCat, LockBit and others contributed to 57% of the leaks, with new groups trailing close behind with 43%.

Ransomware Groups Attack Society’s Most Vulnerable

There have been many notable attacks in the past year from ransomware groups, with a particular spike in attacks on schools and hospitals, demonstrating how low these actors are willing to stoop in their attacks. This includes the attacks from Vice Society, which was responsible for the data leaks from several major school systems in 2022.

The group continues to be active in 2023, with nearly half of the incidents posted to their leak site impacting educational institutions.

In 2022, 30 organizations on the Forbes

Global 2000
 list were publicly impacted by extortion attempts. Since 2019, at least 96 of these organizations have had confidential files publicly exposed to some degree as part of attempted extortion. At least 75% of ransomware attacks fielded by Unit 42’s Incident Response team resulted from attack surface exposures.

Samsung Message Guard Protects You From New and Invisible Threats

The next big threat to mobile security could happen to anyone — but Samsung Galaxy has a new line of defense
.

Did you know that just receiving an image might be enough to let hackers in? While everyone knows not to open random links or attachments, which no longer guarantees safety as cybercriminals constantly explore new methods of attack.

Zero-click exploits are the latest kind of cyberattack, and they can take place any time an image is received. A single image could be hiding malicious code.

While there has been no sign of such attacks on Samsung Galaxy smartphones, Samsung Electronics constantly looks ahead to anticipate potential threats and develop preemptive security measures — such as Samsung Message Guard.

New Security for New Threats

Picture this: your phone receives an image. It vibrates gently in your pocket before going still. Or it’s on your bedside table, lighting up briefly as you sleep. You have not touched your phone, but someone may already be reading your messages, browsing your gallery and copying your bank details.

Zero-click exploits are just the latest threat in an era of increased cybercrime targeting user data. One in three consumers around the world has been the victim of a data breach where their personal data was hacked. Data breaches are increasingly common, with rates more than tripling between 2013 and 2021.

Threats evolve, but so does Samsung’s mobile security. Samsung Galaxy smartphones offer comprehensive safeguards with the powerful Samsung Knox platform, and users are already protected from attacks using video and audio formats. Samsung Message Guard takes that security one step further by preemptively protecting your device, limiting exposure to invisible threats disguised as image attachments.

The security solution currently works on Samsung Messages and Messages by Google. In line with Samsung’s philosophy of open collaboration, a software update will roll out later to let Samsung Message Guard protect you across third party messaging apps as well.

Acronis' Mid-Year Cyberthreats Report Reveals 464% Increase in Email Attacks
A Secure Environment

Samsung Message Guard is an advanced “sandbox,” or a kind of virtual quarantine. When an image file arrives, it is trapped and isolated from the rest of the device. This prevents malicious code from accessing your phone’s files or interacting with its operating system. Samsung Message Guard checks the file bit by bit and processes it in a controlled environment to ensure it cannot infect the rest of your device.

Simply put, Samsung Message Guard automatically neutralizes any potential threat hiding in image files before they have a chance to do you any harm. It also runs silently and largely invisibly in the background and does not need to be activated by the user. So where previously you could be endangered without doing anything, now you are protected from zero-click exploits without lifting a finger.

Samsung Message Guard is just the latest forward-looking security solution from Samsung. Separately, Samsung Galaxy devices already provide industry-leading security and privacy protections in other areas, thanks to the award-winning Samsung Knox. This provides end-to-end protection across every layer of hardware and software, as well as real-time threat detection.

Availability

Samsung Message Guard is a solution on the Samsung Galaxy S23 series.

Discover Unconventional Use of Latest Samsung Smart Screens And How it Benefits You

How the Next-Generation Smart Hub Enrich Every Entertainment Option

Enhanced Smart Hub: Everything in One Place

The all-new Smart Hub brings every aspect of the smart TV experience into one, easy-to-navigate screen. Powered by Tizen, the new interface classifies all features and content into two convenient tabs for more intuitive use.

Within the screen’s content section, your content and entertainment are intelligently organized into two, easy-to-comprehend tabs: Media and Ambient on Samsung TVs and Smart Monitors.

Get Smarter With Your Entertainment Options

Inside the Media tab, you’ll instantly see all your entertainment options — organized in one place where you can enjoy all your favorite OTT services when looking to relax with a TV show or a movie, including YouTube and more.

As you use your Smart TV or Monitor over time, Smart Hub’s intelligent interface learns from your viewing patterns and preferences across your favorite platforms and services. After learning your preferences, it serves you with smart recommendations which makes choosing a new show to wind down your evening,easier than ever.

Samsung understands that the ultimate gaming experiences aren’t just about ease-of-use: gamers need screens that offer top-of-the-line specifications for the most immersive experiences possible. This is why the lineup comes with specifications and features designed to take your gaming to the next level.

These include HDMI 2.1 ports,

Motion Xcelerator Turbo Pro 4K 144Hz gaming, Super Ultrawide GameView and Game Bar for fast-paced and streamlined gaming featuring the latest in picture quality technology and setting configurability.

With your Samsung Neo QLED 8K or Smart Monitor, you are able to enjoy your favorite game, no matter how fast-paced or action-packed it may be, with reduced latency and incredible picture quality and resolution.

Manage Your Home Like Never Before on Samsung Screen With an Intuitive Home IoT Hub

SmartThings, Opening Up an Era of the Smart Home Previously Only Dreamed of

As the devices we use at home have become more diverse, so, too, have the methods necessary to connect them. From Cloud to Cloud (C2C) connectivity, wireless (WiFi) connections and the Zigbee method, a variety of different systems available for us to control our homes have emerged — a diversity that resulted in it taking a while for Internet-of-Things (IoT) to be cohesively applied within the home.

Previously, you would need a separate device, or hub, to act as a connecting bridge for these devices, ultimately affecting accessibility. Therefore, in order to help mitigate this inconvenience, Samsung, for the very first time, has integrated a built-in SmartThings Hub directly into the screen lineup, providing reduced latency and total control for more immediate smart home control experiences.

The Samsung Home IoT Hub — your SmartThings hub — is now built directly into your TV or Smart monitor, making it possible to easily connect, monitor and control all the connected devices in your house, all without a separate hub device. This advancement is the first step towards Samsung’s fully-realized home IoT ecosystem.

This innovative SmartThings Hub is not only compatible with hundreds of millions of devices, but has been further expanded thanks to the introduction of an all-new interoperability standard. As the premier technology enabling connected living and driving the future of IoT,
SmartThings
 recently announced the addition of a new smart home interoperability standard named Matter, which has been developed by Apple, Google, Amazon and others and allows for users to control Matter-enabled devices using their Samsung products.

With these innovative advancements in your SmartThings home control system, you are set to enjoy the utmost convenience with your screen — like never before.

Anywhere, Anytime and as You Wish With the SmartThings Hub

Thanks to the fully-integrated SmartThings Hub, your screen is a central hub from which you can conveniently control the smart devices you have around your home.

To make the smart home experience more enhanced than ever before, Samsung made sure to develop SmartThings Hub to be the most streamlined platform it could be for ultimate user convenience. Along with the greater screen real estate available on your screen for monitoring, making the process easier on the eyes, SmartThings Hub features an intuitive Map View interface that not only shows all your devices and their current status, but also where they are located in your home.

Map View: Locate IoT Devices in Your Home at a Glance

When you launch your TV or Smart Monitor for the first time, ‘rooms’ can be created automatically for you based on the location of your connected devices through SmartThings, and this will be displayed on-screen for you in Map View. If you want to further customize the layout of your devices, you can use your remote control to change the location of the device within the interface to match your actual room layout, and if you have the SmartThings mobile app, you can easily add rooms or change its location using Touch & Drag. You can even change room shapes to be polygons, if desired.

Say you’re settling down to relax in the living room with a good film after a long day, but suddenly realize you’re not sure if the lights are on or off in the garage, simply pull up SmartThings Hub’s Map View on your smart TV or monitor. Now, you can check and manage the status of your smart devices and then click back into your film for a truly hassle-free end to your night.

Voice Control: Manage All Your Devices With a Single Word

As well as streamlining the smart home management experiences that SmartThings brings to users, you can also enjoy smart experiences that may have previously seemed impossible with SmartThings on your Samsung screen.

For example, the Always-On Voice Control capability provides you with next-level connectivity and control over your devices, no matter what you are doing and whether your screen is on or off. Thanks to Bixby, Samsung’s AI voice assistant, you can verbally switch your lights on or off or control a connected device, even while in the middle of a movie, just by saying ‘Hi Bixby’ to your screen.

With such convenience-first capabilities, the future of the truly connected smart home, something that Samsung has been working diligently towards, is getting closer and closer each day.

The Hub of Smart Home Life: Your Smart Screen

Although smart homes have been around for quite some time, the process of building a smart home ecosystem that allows all kinds of IoT devices to interoperate is still underway. Samsung intends to develop a smart home that is optimized for your in-home activities and that lets anyone easily build their own connected home, making it easy to harness the power of IoT for device control anywhere in the house — using just your screen.

The first step of this next-generation smart home ecosystem has been taken with the Samsung screen lineup. With your
Neo QLED 8K
 or
Smart Monitor M8
, you can now enjoy easy and convenient control of all your smart home devices directly on-screen thanks to the all-new SmartThings Hub.

Curate Your Aesthetic and Get on Track With Your Health

Match Your Smart Screen to Your Lifestyle

Samsung’s screen lineup, from the revolutionary Neo QLED 8K to the company’s Lifestyle TVs, have not only always provided intuitive ways for users to enjoy their favorite content, but also innovative ways for user to express their own aesthetic and personalize their wellness journeys.

For example, Ambient Mode, first introduced on the 2018 QLED 8K, redefined the parameters within which users can use their TV, as it allows them to transform their screen into something beautiful even when the TV is not watched.

With the devices introduced in the Samsung screen lineup, this legacy of lifestyle management has been taken to the next level, as the new Samsung Smart Screens now provide exciting ways for users to do more, smarter.

Enhance Your Aesthetic — Using Just Your TV

The second option available on your screen’s intuitive Smart Hub interface, Ambient, lets you enhance the aesthetic of the space your TV is placed in. Whether you are synchronizing your screen’s display with its surrounding décor or making a bold statement with a choice piece of eye-catching art, Ambient lets you elevate your TV to become more than just a screen — transforming it into a true décor piece.

With just your smartphone and SmartThings, you can take a photo of the area around your TV which Ambient will then intelligently replicate on-screen so as to blend the screen into your room with chameleon-level camouflage abilities.

For those times when you want to make more of a statement with your screen, you can opt instead to browse the extensive selection of world-class art pieces available on the platform to either show off your style or simply add a splash of color to your room.

What’s more, thanks to an exciting partnership with industry-leading NFT platform Nifty Gateway, users can, for the first time, harness Ambient as a one-stop NFT platform to explore and display all kinds of NFT digital artworks on their QLEDs — an all-new way for you to collect and present artwork in the home.

Check Off Every Fitness Goal You Set

The Neo QLED 8K TV is a handy companion for crushing at-home workouts. Aside from movie, gaming, and workspace optimisation, the television introduces a series of features that can help bring out a person’s best self, right from the living room.

Watch what’s on your TV and mobile on the same screen at the same time, whether it is live statistics for sports or workout video guides. You can even connect your TV with Samsung SlimFit Cam to view yourself on the screen and make sure your form is in tip-top shape. Bring the gym home to you and unlock new ways to keep fit.

Spoil yourself or your loved ones this Raya by upgrading your home entertainment and receive complimentary 43’’ The Frame worth RM4,999 when you purchase an 85″ QN900B, 65’’ QN800B Neo QLED 8K Smart TV or 85’’ The Frame.

Selling Digital Products – Smart Ways Students Can Earn Money

Demand for digital products is booming in the Asia-Pacific region, with
sales recently increasing 500% year-on-year
. There’s never been a better time for
students looking for an extra income stream
 to tap into this lucrative market.

Since digital products allow you to sell the same product repeatedly without needing to restock,  they’re an ideal way to generate passive income with minimal maintenance.

Digital tools

Digital tools help people complete tasks that they typically can’t complete by themselves – either because they lack the required skill set, or they’re simply too time- and energy-consuming. So, by selling a digital tool that meets the needs of a certain audience, you can therefore generate a decent passive income stream.

When considering which digital tools are most worthwhile for you to market and sell, consider how you can best meet the needs of a specific target audience – what are their typical pain points, and how can you solve them? For example, if you’re good at web design, you may want to develop icons or fonts for web designers and developers.

You could even sell UX kits: designs, templates, and graphic elements that make up a cohesive download. Alternatively, you could sell graphic design templates for businesses, bloggers, or educational organizations, for example. These templates can include posters and flyers, as well as larger pamphlets and brochures.

Educational courses

The e-learning industry is booming – it’s expected to be worth $325 billion by 2025, with over
32% of this growth
 set to originate in APAC. In fact, 39% of undergrads and 52% of grads already consider elearning better than classroom learning. So, by creating and selling an elearning course, you can tap into this lucrative market.

Of course,
creating a valuable and engaging e-learning course
 requires sticking to your area of expertise to teach others what you know. You’ll need to invest a significant amount of time up-front to devise your course – you may want to include presentations, video recordings, quizzes, live tutor sessions, and interactive activities.

In fact, it’s worth starting small with an introductory mini-course to assess demand and make any changes as needed, before launching a bigger, more in-depth course.

Digital music or art

Digital products can be a great option for student artists or musicians looking to capitalize on their talents, while also getting their name out there and building a fan base. Although custom print t-shirts are usually a given option in terms of merch, musicians can also turn their most popular songs into ringtones, for example.

Alternatively, illustrators can
put their designs on phone wallpapers
, printables, or print-on-demand products. The great thing about digital products is they don’t require you to stock physical inventory, which means you have the freedom to experiment with different products to test audience demand without too much risk.

Selling digital products can be a great money-maker for students. Whether you sell tools, educational courses, or music or art, digital products can create a steady passive income stream with minimal maintenance required.

In its latest edition, the Maxis eKelas HIP (Highly Immersive Programme) StoryFest English Competition, an annual campaign under Maxis’ flagship community programme, saw positive response from students with targeted engagement to encourage more participation.

For the 2022 campaign, Maxis eKelas brought the competition directly to over 6,000 students via physical roadshows and storytelling workshops at over 30 schools.

Students sent in their original works in four categories: public speaking, poem recitation, storytelling and essay writing.

Also, students nationwide found it easier to participate through face-to-face engagements, especially with the support from Maxis volunteers on the ground.

HIP was introduced by the Ministry of Education (MoE) in 2016 to improve English proficiency of students by increasing their exposure to the language through a variety of activities in and out of the classroom. Since 2019, eKelas has been recognised by MoE under its HIP initiative, where eKelas students of Year 4 to Form 5 who participate in the competition can collect co-curricular marks which are then included in their school certificate.

Recently, a total of 60 winners from multiple categories were rewarded with prizes including smartphones, book vouchers, and gift boxes filled with exclusive eKelas merchandise. First place winners of each category will be invited to attend an immersive experience day in Menara Maxis, Kuala Lumpur in March 2023.

“The HIP is an important programme  aimed at creating a rich English language learning
environment in schools. We are pleased to see Maxis’ continued support for the HIP through its
eKelas programme, as well as the increased participation. Well done to all the winners! I hope their achievements will inspire even more students to join the competition and take advantage of all the learning opportunities,” said Dr. Faizulizami Binti Osmin, Principal Assistant Director of the Sports, Co-curricular and Arts Division, Ministry of Education Malaysia.

“I participated in this competition because I wanted to sharpen my talent in storytelling, level up my confidence and enhance my English proficiency. Winning wasn’t really my primary goal but giving it a try was important to me. I put my all, took multiple video recordings till my phone storage got full but it was all worth it, for that I’m thankful to Maxis eKelas for this opportunity,” said Fakhira Batrisyia Binti Mas Alham, a competition winner and a Year 5 student from SMK Cyberjaya, Selangor.

Launched to all Year 4 to Form 5 students in schools nationwide in 2019, the annual Maxis eKelas HIP StoryFest English Competition offers students access to virtual coaching via learning videos and notes, live workshops and opportunities to boost their confidence in using the English language.

eKelas is Maxis’ flagship community programme that aims to improve the academic performance of students in rural communities. As an after-school digital learning initiative for students from Year 4 to Form 5, the programme brings learning enrichment in a fun and vibrant way and provides access to quality education content, in line with the Malaysian School Syllabus.

Focusing on Science, Mathematics, English, Bahasa Melayu and History, students are exposed to experiential learning through a combination of live tutorials, group learning, competitions and digital content via the eKelas portal and app. eKelas today provides a complete digital learning experience, including opportunities for students to take part in annual campaigns like English and STEM competitions as well as the opportunity to apply for the Anugerah Gemilang student grant.

The Pros and Cons of Trading Gold

Trading gold is one of many options that you can consider when you want to get into online trading. But, as is the case with any trading strategy, there are a few pros and a few cons to consider. In other words, what are the benefits of trading gold and what are the potential drawbacks?

Once you have learned about gold trading and what it has to offer, you can then decide if it is truly the right strategy for you. And if you do decide to
trade gold
, you can take steps to ensure you set the right foundation as a beginner so you can increase your odds of success.

So, what are some of the pros and cons of trading gold? Continue reading to learn more.

It Can Be a Good Choice During Times of High Inflation

A lot of people turn to gold when they are in search of a
hedge against inflation
. What does this mean? Well, when inflation is high and the value of your currency is dropping, you may find that the price of gold is on the rise. This means that investing in gold at the right time might yield some really good returns if its price continues to climb after you buy it.

And this may ultimately give you much more peace of mind, knowing that you have an asset that is growing in value rather than depreciating in value, especially as your cost of living is going up.

It Can Be Difficult to Store Physical Gold

One of the drawbacks of investing in physical gold is the fact that it can be difficult to store it securely, especially if you want to buy a large amount. So, while it might be quite easy to get your hands on some gold coins or gold bars, you do need to think about how you will ensure nothing happens to it all.

You don’t want it to be stolen, of course, and you also don’t want it to end up destroyed or damaged. This is one reason why a lot of people who opt to invest in gold do so by trading gold stocks instead, as there is no need to store physical gold when you take that route.

You Can Start Trading Gold Rather Easily

Another reason why it is worth considering trading gold is because it can be surprisingly easy to get started. All you have to do is find an online broker that you can trust and makes it possible to trade gold, and then set up an account. Once you fund your account, you can begin trading gold, regardless of your experience level as a trader.

Whether you are a beginner and this is the first asset that you are trading in your life or you have a lot of experience in trading and you want to use gold to diversify your portfolio, this is definitely an option that you can think about using to your advantage.

The Price of Gold Might Make It Hard to Get Started

Although you can set up an online account to start trading gold without much difficulty, you might run into some roadblocks if you discover that the cost of gold is currently too high. Try to do some research to track trends and see how the price of gold has moved in the past.

This can give you some insight into how it might move in the future. If the price of gold is prohibiting you from trading it right now, don’t worry, as you might find an opportunity to do so in the future.
