  • Nukilan Hati Tentang Kehilangan: Vanessa Zee & Rony Parulian Lancar Projek Kolaborasi “Takkan Terulang”

    Nukilan Hati Tentang Kehilangan: Vanessa Zee & Rony Parulian Lancar Projek Kolaborasi “Takkan Terulang”

    Dua vokal berbeza karakter, Vanessa Zee dan Rony Parulian, kini bersatu dalam sebuah projek kolaborasi penuh emosi berjudul “Takkan Terulang”. Single ini merupakan sebuah naskhah puitis yang menyelami fasa sukar dalam hubungan cinta yang sedang menanti detik perpisahan.

    Menerusi lagu ini, pendengar dibawa menghayati empat fasa perpisahan yang sangat dekat dengan realiti. Ia bermula dengan fasa persoalan (questioning), di mana kesetiaan dan kesihatan hubungan mula diragui. Perjalanan emosi diteruskan dengan fasa penyisihan (withdrawal) dan ulangan (relapse)—detik di mana rindu cuba melawan kenyataan—sebelum berakhir dengan fasa penerimaan (acceptance). Titik akhir ini menekankan bahawa melepaskan adalah jalan terbaik daripada terus membiarkan luka menghantui diri.

    Gandingan ini menyaksikan pertembungan unik antara karakter vokal Vanessa Zee yang lembut, jernih, dan feminin dengan warna suara Rony Parulian yang lebih rough serta maskulin. Menariknya, idea kolaborasi ini tercetus selepas Vanessa—yang merupakan peminat vokal Rony—pernah memviralkan salah satu lagu penyanyi lelaki tersebut menerusi persembahan live, yang kemudiannya membuka ruang perbincangan untuk projek ini.

    Kualiti “Takkan Terulang” turut diperkukuhkan oleh sentuhan produser berkaliber, Lafa Pratomo, yang sebelum ini pernah bekerjasama dengan Rony menerusi lagu “Tak Ada Ujungnya”. Selain itu, Mohammed Kamga selaku pengarah vokal berjaya mengimbangi perbezaan karakter vokal mereka menjadi satu harmoni yang sangat menyentuh perasaan.

    Disuntik dengan balutan visual yang sinematik dan melodi yang hangat, “Takkan Terulang” dijangka menjadi salah satu karya kolaborasi yang paling memberi kesan tahun ini. Single terbaharu daripada Vanessa Zee dan Rony Parulian ini kini boleh dinikmati di semua platform penstriman digital.

  • Expanding Personalized Wellness: Herbalife Joins Forces with Bioniq

    Expanding Personalized Wellness: Herbalife Joins Forces with Bioniq

    Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF), a leading health and wellness company, community, and platform, has announced an agreement to acquire certain assets from Bioniq, a UK-based personalized supplements company focused on making health more accessible and actionable. This acquisition supports Herbalife’s vision of evolving into a technology-enabled, data-driven health and wellness platform.

    “Health and wellness are increasingly becoming personalized and guided by data,” said Herbalife Chief Executive Officer Stephan Gratziani. “By combining Bioniq’s personalized supplement technology with Pro2col and leveraging our global distributor network, we are expanding our ability to deliver personalized wellness solutions on a global scale.”

    Chief Executive Officer of Herbalife, Stephan Gratziani [left] and Vadim Fedotov, Founder and President of Bioniq [right].

    Bioniq develops personalized supplement formulas using its patented product personalization engine, an individual’s health background, and a proprietary database of biomarkers. These formulations are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of individuals, from everyday wellness consumers to elite athletes, including Cristiano Ronaldo.

    The acquisition of Bioniq complements Herbalife’s prior acquisitions of Pro2col and Link BioSciences, allowing the company to offer a broader range of personalized nutritional supplements in multiple delivery formats. Combined with Herbalife’s global manufacturing expertise, this will enable the company to expand personalized nutrition efficiently and at scale.

    “I founded Bioniq in 2019 with the goal of helping people optimize their wellbeing through a science-driven approach to nutrition that integrates biomarker and lifestyle data,” said Vadim Fedotov, Founder and President of Bioniq. “Joining Herbalife, with its global distributor network and commitment to wellness at scale, is an exciting step forward for us.”

    As a long-time global nutrition partner of Herbalife and a shareholder of Bioniq, Cristiano Ronaldo shares the vision of accelerating access to personalized nutritional supplements through Herbalife’s global distribution network. “Biometrics and personalized nutrition have been central to helping me perform at the highest level,” said Ronaldo. “Having used both Herbalife and Bioniq products, I know how tailored nutrition can optimize performance. I am thrilled that Bioniq’s personalized supplements will now reach more people worldwide through Herbalife.”

    The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The USD55 million purchase price will be paid over five years, including an initial USD10 million payment at closing, with up to USD95 million in contingent payments tied to future performance.

    As part of the deal, Herbalife also obtained a call option to acquire Bioniq LAB, a platform focused on small molecules and peptides, providing strategic flexibility for potential long-term opportunities in a capital-efficient manner. Bioniq’s personalized nutritional supplements are expected to be offered later this year through Herbalife independent distributors in select European and U.S. markets, with additional regions to follow.

  • PICO Reveals Next-Gen PICO OS 6 and Teases Flagship Project Swan with Early Access

    PICO Reveals Next-Gen PICO OS 6 and Teases Flagship Project Swan with Early Access

    PICO today officially unveiled its next-generation operating system, PICO OS 6, and offered an early preview of its upcoming flagship XR hardware, internally codenamed Project Swan. PICO OS 6 represents more than just an incremental update; it is a complete reconstruction of the spatial operating system. By redesigning its architecture from the ground up, it addresses persistent challenges in XR experiences, enabling seamless coexistence of 2D apps, 3D content, virtual environments, and physical reality. To complement the software, PICO plans to launch a new headset that combines upgraded hardware with this enhanced operating system, delivering a more integrated spatial computing experience.

    At the core of PICO OS 6 is the PICO Spatial Engine, a unified rendering architecture that fundamentally changes how graphics are processed. Unlike previous approaches where rendering was isolated at the app level, the Spatial Engine moves the pipeline to the OS level. This allows 2D apps, 3D objects, virtual environments, and physical reality to render simultaneously with high responsiveness, ensuring multiple 3D apps and 2D windows operate harmoniously and enabling virtual elements to blend naturally into the real world.

    Building on this foundation, PICO OS 6 introduces spatial multitasking, allowing users to collaborate on complex 3D models with colleagues represented as avatars while keeping browsers, notes, and other productivity tools active in floating windows above physical surfaces. The system adapts to multiple input methods, from gaze and pinch gestures to XR controllers for gaming, or even traditional keyboard and mouse setups for professional workflows. For the 2,600+ enterprise institutions PICO serves, this provides a stable, responsive digital workspace for professional spatial collaboration.

    Openness is a key principle of PICO OS 6. The operating system supports a wide variety of app ecosystems, including Spatial apps, OpenXR, WebXR, Android apps, Web apps, and PC VR streaming, treating all platforms as equal contributors. By lowering barriers for developers, PICO unites disparate ecosystems into a seamless user experience, fostering an inclusive environment for spatial computing.

    To empower developers, PICO has introduced a comprehensive suite of tools. The PICO Spatial SDK (Kotlin) and UI system simplify design with component-based APIs and unified runtime adaptation. The PICO Spatial Plugin for Android Studio and the new desktop-based PICO Emulator enable rapid development, coding, and testing without requiring a headset. Additionally, the open-source WebSpatial framework allows developers to use standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and React to create install-free, cross-platform spatial apps that run across PICO OS, VisionOS, and AndroidXR. PICO OS 6 also deepens support for Unity and Unreal Engine, enabling mixed reality games to run alongside 2D and 3D apps, unlocking multitasking that allows gaming while simultaneously video chatting or browsing. All tools are available at developer.picoxr.com.

    While PICO OS 6 lays the software foundation, Project Swan represents the next step in hardware innovation. Project Swan introduces a new generation of MicroOLED displays with nearly 4000 PPI, offering a center sweet spot exceeding 45 pixels per degree for crisp text and professional workflows. The headset features a dual-chip design that manages complex mixed reality pipelines, including a custom XR chip that fuses data from multiple sensors to create realistic representations of physical spaces with just 12 milliseconds of latency. The flagship SoC doubles CPU and GPU performance compared to the XR2 Gen 2. Project Swan is scheduled for a global launch in late 2026.

    PICO has also launched the “PICO Global Early Access Program,” inviting experienced users to participate in a closed beta test for Project Swan and PICO OS 6. By gathering feedback from high-end device users, PICO aims to ensure seamless integration between the new OS and hardware. Interested participants can apply at picoxr.com.

    Founded in 2015, PICO is a leading innovator in all-in-one VR and MR technology, committed to connecting people, enriching lives, and unlocking possibilities. The company continues to build an integrated XR platform that empowers creators, developers, and businesses while inspiring global communities. For more information, visit PICO’s official website.

    Uni Enrol, Malaysia’s largest university enrolment platform, has partnered with Cempaka International School, a leading name in Malaysia’s international education landscape known for its academic excellence and innovative learning culture. This collaboration positions Cempaka as one of the first international schools in Malaysia to integrate data-driven, technology-led counselling into its education framework, providing students and parents with real-time insights, personalised recommendations, and guidance that goes beyond traditional counselling methods.

    Through Uni Enrol’s advanced Pathway Match system, an AI-driven platform that analyses each student’s academic results, interests, and financial considerations, Cempaka students now receive tailored recommendations on suitable universities, programmes, and scholarships, both locally and internationally. The system also allows parents to actively participate in their child’s planning journey through shared digital access and progress tracking, giving families a comprehensive view of their child’s goals, course matches, and application milestones. This level of transparency helps parents and students make informed decisions together, fostering confidence and clarity throughout the process.

    Rickson Khaw, CEO of Uni Enrol, highlighted the importance of this approach, saying, “We’ve always believed that every student deserves access to the best opportunities, not limited by information or affordability. Cempaka’s forward-thinking approach demonstrates a clear commitment to preparing students for the future combining data, technology, and collaboration between students, parents, and counselors to help them make smarter, more confident decisions about higher education.”

    Through this partnership, Cempaka students gain personalised university matches that suit their strengths and aspirations, maximised scholarship opportunities to support financial planning, and end-to-end guidance covering everything from counselling and applications to visa processing, accommodation, and pre-departure briefings. The collaboration also provides global access to institutions across the UK, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Europe, and Asia, while engaging parents with real-time updates that enable meaningful family discussions about educational goals and options.

    Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, Cempaka and Uni Enrol will jointly conduct structured initiatives throughout the academic year, including university fairs, career talks, scholarship workshops, and parent engagement sessions. Hisham Hamzah, Managing Director of Cempaka International School, emphasised the school’s commitment to progressive education, saying, “At Cempaka, we have always prided ourselves on evolving with the times. Education today must not only prepare students academically but also empower them with data, technology, and insight. By partnering with Uni Enrol, we are equipping our students and their parents with a smarter, more transparent way to explore pathways and make well-informed choices that align with their strengths and aspirations.”

  • PRUBSN AND KPJ HEALTHCARE JOIN FORCES TO ENHANCE CUSTOMER WELL-BEING THROUGH PRUPANEL PLUS

    PRUBSN AND KPJ HEALTHCARE JOIN FORCES TO ENHANCE CUSTOMER WELL-BEING THROUGH PRUPANEL PLUS

    Prudential BSN Takaful Berhad (PruBSN), Malaysia’s leading family takaful operator for 12 consecutive years, has strengthened its collaboration with KPJ Healthcare Berhad (KPJ Healthcare) through the PruBSN x KPJ Healthcare Wellness Event held on 15 November 2025 at Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 (DSH2). The event reflected the enduring partnership between both organisations in widening access to quality healthcare and encouraging healthier lifestyles among Malaysians. In line with the promotion of PRUPanel Plus, the initiative focuses on expanding healthcare benefits for PruBSN medical certificate holders and KPJ customers across the country.

    PRUPanel Plus comprises 60 selected panel hospitals nationwide that have formed strategic partnerships with PruBSN, with plans for expansion every two years to further broaden accessibility and strengthen healthcare options. These hospitals offer exclusive privileges to PruBSN medical certificate holders, including deposit and administrative fee waivers during admissions, special gifts, engagement opportunities, and access to quality medical treatment. While the offerings may differ by hospital, all PRUPanel Plus partners are united in their mission to make healthcare more accessible and to elevate the customer experience.

    Through collaborations with reputable healthcare providers such as KPJ Healthcare, PruBSN aims to ensure timely, high-quality medical services while minimising financial strain on customers. All 30 KPJ hospitals nationwide are currently recognised as PruBSN panel hospitals, with 18 designated as PRUPanel Plus facilities. PRUPanel Plus forms part of PruBSN’s broader Health Pillar, which emphasises delivering enhanced healthcare experiences through strategic partnerships.

    Speech by Dato’ Mohamad Farid Bin Salim (COO KPJ Healthcare)

    PruBSN Officer-in-Charge, Kelvin Wong, said that health has evolved beyond a product category to become a core strategic pillar for the organisation. As Malaysians face rising medical costs and increasing chronic health conditions, PruBSN’s role extends beyond offering protection. He highlighted the introduction of The Peace-of-Mind Plan, reaffirming the company’s promise to its four million customers in Malaysia and reinforcing its commitment to assist individuals when they need support the most.

    Chin Keat Chyuan, President and Managing Director of KPJ Healthcare, expressed that the partnership aligns with KPJ Healthcare’s purpose of providing communities with greater confidence when seeking care. He emphasised the organisation’s commitment to timely treatment, clear care pathways, and supportive experiences across its network. Initiatives such as PRUPanel Plus, he noted, encourage proactive healthcare engagement and reinforce the assurance both organisations aim to deliver.

    The Wellness Event marked the final stop of a nationwide roadshow that began in the northern region at Ipoh Specialist Hospital, continued to the southern region at Bandar Dato’ Onn Specialist Hospital, and proceeded to the east coast at KPJ Perdana. The one-day programme at DSH2 brought together customers, healthcare professionals, and families to promote healthier living, offering complimentary health screenings, educational health talks, PRUPanel Plus advocacy sessions, and family-friendly activities including a colouring contest for children.

    Speech by Manisha Keyal (Chief Health Officer, PruBSN)

    PruBSN also continues to fulfil its commitment to customers through meaningful financial protection. In 2024, the company paid RM1.2 billion in claims covering personal accidents, medical treatments, critical illnesses, total permanent disability, and death. Each claim represents a personal story and real-life challenges faced by families, underscoring PruBSN’s dedication to being present when support is needed most.

    To ensure customers receive the best possible care, PruBSN works closely with healthcare professionals so that clinical decisions remain in the hands of doctors, while the organisation focuses on confirming coverage according to certificate terms. By reviewing essential medical documentation such as admission forms and imaging reports, PruBSN ensures that diagnoses and treatments follow regulatory and professional standards.

    The company continually refines its claims processes through ongoing feedback from customers and healthcare partners, improving transparency and responsiveness. Underwriting rules and policy terms are applied consistently in accordance with the Financial Services Act and Islamic Financial Services Act. This collaborative approach promotes fair, evidence-based decisions and reinforces trust within the ecosystem, ensuring that customers, providers, and partners are supported with clarity and integrity.
