Youth is a national asset that needs to be encouraged and challenged so that they can grow and develop. Talents and skills need to be utilized for it to be useful for the individuals, groups and the society as a whole.
Thus, this is what competition does, it makes us grow and see the results of our own abilities to plan and create something new.

Just like how these 5 students of Universiti Malaya (UM) who called themselves, &lsquo;The Cuties&rsquo;, participated in the Asean Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Sustainathon 2021/2022.&nbsp;
For your information, this competition was organized by TCS, a company of global IT services, consultations and business solutions. The event was held nationwide and currently occurring in Australia and New Zealand. This year, Asean Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Sustainathon 2021/2022 was held in Singapore.

Head of TCS Malaysia, Jeevan Rajoo took a big pride in witnessing Malaysian youth taking part in the competition and resolving tough issues regarding digital technology, in accordance with the United Nations&rsquo; Sustainable Development Goals.
He said: &ldquo;The future of the world is in the hands of our youths and we can all be optimistic when our younger generation is committed and passionate about creating a positive impact for all.&rdquo;
&nbsp;&ldquo;As leaders, we must empower our youths to aspire to greater heights, disrupt the norms and make this a better world,&rdquo; he added.
In this particular event, &lsquo;The Cuties&rsquo; competed against over 100 teams from Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines.

This time, the competition is about making full use of the technology to create an innovation based on the &ldquo;Reimagining Education&rdquo; theme.
Thus, The Cuties made a dubbed QSEE to tackle the integrated digital learning issues among students and enhance their interaction with a platform that was backed by artificial intelligence, gamified learning modes and emotion detection technology to encourage students' love for education.
Phew, that just sounds complex but brilliant at the same time! Good job guys!

For their excellent creation and performance, the UM representation team was awarded a cash prize of RM44,740 and a support from LinkedIn for its digital branding, network building and making use of the platform to navigate schools for the post-competition project.

Success does not come in just one night. This victory of Wong Li De, Ng Qiao Fang, Debbie Choong Hui Tian, Low Yan Rou and Eugene Ng Kai Qin came after months of preparation, hard work and pressure they got during the competition.&nbsp;
Success was mainly told to give inspiration for the journey itself, to let people learn that success will come to those who work for it. Okay?

Malaysian MOAs, TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) are coming back to Kuala Lumpur! The K-pop boy group has confirmed a new Malaysia stop as part of their upcoming &ldquo;Steal The Wind&rdquo; World Tour, just months after making their first-ever appearance in the country.
TXT will return to Kuala Lumpur on 13 March 2027, giving Malaysian fans another chance to see Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun and Hueningkai perform live.
The announcement comes after the group wrapped up their previous world tour with a Kuala Lumpur concert in February 2026, where they promised Malaysian MOAs that they would return. It looks like they really meant it.
Who Are TOMORROW X TOGETHER?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e16afbec465448f2819c0de5976aa656137a5f66b49356ebb2a6a8dd17724c4d" />
Formed under BIGHIT MUSIC, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, better known as TXT, is a five-member K-pop group consisting of Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun and Hueningkai.
Since debuting in 2019, TXT have established themselves as one of the leading groups of their generation, gaining a global following through their energetic performances, distinctive concepts and genre-spanning music.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W3iSnJ663II" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The group first caught widespread attention with their debut single &ldquo;CROWN&rdquo;, while later releases such as &ldquo;Blue Hour&rdquo;, &ldquo;0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You)&rdquo;, &ldquo;Sugar Rush Ride&rdquo;, &ldquo;Back for More&rdquo; and &ldquo;Deja Vu&rdquo; further cemented their popularity internationally.
Their success has also translated into major award wins. Most recently, TXT took home five awards at the 2026 KM Chart Awards, including the prestigious Artist of the Year Daesang. They have also received major recognition at ceremonies including the Seoul Music Awards and K-World Dream Awards.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DiHUEWBRQEI" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
More recently, their music has continued to rack up milestones, with &ldquo;Deja Vu&rdquo; becoming TXT&rsquo;s 10th music video to surpass 100 million views on YouTube.
TXT &ldquo;Steal The Wind&rdquo; World Tour Dates
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d23a1854c13b5a29c42a4a1fa8ebc56dab1c09234f4797b089f87a927a36d6c9" />
TXT&rsquo;s &ldquo;Steal The Wind&rdquo; World Tour will kick off with three concerts in Seoul in November 2026 before taking the group across Asia, North America and Europe.
The currently announced itinerary includes:
Seoul, South Korea: 13&ndash;15 November 2026 Macau: 21&ndash;22 November 2026 Fukuoka, Japan: 19&ndash;20 December 2026 Tokyo, Japan: 7&ndash;8 January 2027 Osaka, Japan: 30&ndash;31 January 2027 Aichi, Japan: 20&ndash;21 February 2027 Kaohsiung, Taiwan: 6&ndash;7 March 2027 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: 13 March 2027 Jakarta, Indonesia: 20 March 2027 North America: May 2027 Europe: June 2027 Hong Kong: 19&ndash;20 June 2027
More tour stops are expected to be announced, making this another major international tour for the group.
TXT In Kuala Lumpur: Concert Details
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9935928c17d558d68846ff8af6f22c2460717a803abfa6b0814a01fbc00e942e" />
The Malaysia stop is officially scheduled for:
TOMORROW X TOGETHER &ldquo;Steal The Wind&rdquo; World Tour in Kuala Lumpur 📅 13 March 2027 (Saturday) 📍 Venue: TBA 🎟️ Ticket prices: TBA 🎫 Ticket sale date: TBA Organiser: iMe Malaysia
At the moment, iMe Malaysia has yet to reveal the concert venue, ticket prices or ticket sale information.
Given how difficult securing tickets was for TXT&rsquo;s previous Kuala Lumpur concert, Malaysian MOAs may want to keep an eye out for the official ticketing announcement and start planning ahead.
The March 2027 concert will also make the occasion even more special as it falls on Beomgyu&rsquo;s birthday, giving fans another reason to celebrate with the group.
Check Out TXT&rsquo;s Latest Release, &ldquo;Setsuna Hanabi&rdquo;
While MOAs wait for the &ldquo;Steal The Wind&rdquo; tour, TXT have also been keeping fans busy with their latest Japanese release, &ldquo;Setsuna Hanabi&rdquo;, which was released digitally on 17 August 2026 before its physical release on 19 August..
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tg076GY2a-Q" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The title roughly translates to &ldquo;momentary fireworks&rdquo;, with the song using fireworks as a metaphor for a relationship that is beautiful but ultimately fleeting.
The track explores the bittersweet feeling of knowing that a farewell is unavoidable while still wishing that the relationship could continue. Musically, it combines an emotional vocal performance with an energetic Brazilian funk-inspired sound and prominent synths, creating a contrast between the song&rsquo;s upbeat production and its more melancholic theme.
The Japanese single features four tracks: &ldquo;Setsuna Hanabi&rdquo;, &ldquo;Silence&rdquo;, &ldquo;Nice to Meet Ya&rdquo; and &ldquo;Setsuna Hanabi (Natsuyoi Ver.)&rdquo;. &ldquo;Silence&rdquo; also serves as the theme song for the Japanese film Oki-Haru-kun no Namida wo Koroshite.
For now, Malaysian MOAs have one date to remember: 13 March 2027. TXT are coming back to Kuala Lumpur &mdash; and this time, they are bringing the &ldquo;Steal The Wind&rdquo; world tour with them.

TXT Is Returning To Kuala Lumpur In March 2027 For “Steal The Wind” World Tour

Bad news for Post Malone fans in Malaysia &mdash; the singer&rsquo;s upcoming Kuala Lumpur concert has been postponed until further notice, alongside the wider Asian and Australasian leg of his The BIG Stadium Tour.
The Kuala Lumpur show was originally scheduled to take place at TM Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil on 27 September 2026, but Live Nation Malaysia has now confirmed that the concert will not go ahead as planned.
A new date has yet to be announced.
Post Malone Was Set To Perform In Kuala Lumpur This September
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ff133bb1ee2db32c4017f0ccf03040f915afdb497b406ce93bf23185e4215a22" />
Post Malone, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, was set to return to the region as part of his massive stadium tour.
The American singer, rapper and songwriter is known for global hits including &ldquo;Rockstar&rdquo;, &ldquo;Circles&rdquo; and &ldquo;Sunflower&rdquo;, as well as his genre-blending style combining hip hop, pop, rock and country influences.
His Kuala Lumpur concert was expected to be one of the year's biggest international music events, with fans looking forward to seeing the Grammy-nominated star perform live at Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil.
However, those plans have now been put on hold.
Live Nation Confirms Post Malone Tour Postponement
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
[IMPORTANT NOTICE] Post Malone Presents The BIG Stadium Tour in Asia has been postponed. As a result, the Kuala Lumpur show scheduled for 27 September 2026 will not proceed as planned. For further updates, please follow the artist&rsquo;s official channels. For refund enquiries,&hellip; <a href="https://t.co/L3aGhgOzu5">pic.twitter.com/L3aGhgOzu5</a>
&mdash; Live Nation Malaysia (@livenationmy) <a href="https://x.com/livenationmy/status/2092869731371859986?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 27, 2026</a>
<script async="" src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</blockquote>
Live Nation Malaysia announced that Post Malone Presents The BIG Stadium Tour in Kuala Lumpur has been postponed.
The promoter said fans who purchased tickets through the authorised ticketing platform, GoLive Asia, will be entitled to a refund.
&ldquo;We regret to announce that Post Malone Presents The BIG Stadium Tour in Kuala Lumpur, scheduled for 27 September 2026 at TM Stadium Nasional, has been postponed.&rdquo;
Live Nation added that there is currently no confirmed replacement date and encouraged fans to follow Post Malone&rsquo;s official channels for future updates.
The wider postponement also affects other Asian and Australasian stops on the tour.
Fans Will Receive Full Ticket Refunds
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/308a5af4e050bc71bbb9b187d1413b5eebc0b14f4f169c36388625d645a23894" />
For Malaysian ticket holders, Live Nation said refunds will be issued through the original payment method used to purchase the tickets.
GoLive Asia is expected to contact ticket purchasers by email within five business days with information about the refund process. Fans have also been advised to check their spam or junk folders if they do not receive the email.
Live Nation apologised to fans for the disruption, acknowledging that many had been looking forward to attending the concert. The promoter also stressed that fans should refer to the official refund communication for further instructions rather than relying on unofficial information circulating online.
The Entire Asian And Australasian Tour Has Been Postponed
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4d3ac8ffd3f5a15ea4ba4f97e6b0e1c428a621c92d05571984e6f60adab5b220" />
The Kuala Lumpur cancellation is not an isolated change.
Post Malone&rsquo;s wider Asian and Australasian tour dates have also been postponed, affecting shows across several countries. The Asian leg was originally scheduled to begin in Hong Kong on 16 September before travelling to destinations including Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan.
The final Asian stop was scheduled for K-Arena Yokohama in Japan on 6 October.
The Australasian leg, meanwhile, was due to include concerts in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland, as well as appearances at several Australian festivals in October. Those dates have also been pushed back.
At this stage, organisers have not announced whether the postponed shows will receive completely new dates or whether the routing of the tour will be changed.
Don Toliver Was Also Supposed To Appear
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/854d28fd9475c8bd06633d3d6eeabe08c7947b4fe790e4539964370d4d899281" />
The postponement is particularly notable for fans who were also looking forward to Don Toliver.
The American rapper and singer had been announced as part of the tour line-up and was expected to support Post Malone during the Kuala Lumpur show.
However, shortly after Post Malone&rsquo;s tour promotional materials went up, Don Toliver announced his own tour plans, creating some confusion among fans over whether his upcoming dates would overlap with the postponed Post Malone shows.
With Post Malone&rsquo;s tour now on hold, it remains unclear whether Don Toliver will still be involved should the postponed dates eventually be rescheduled.
No New Kuala Lumpur Date Yet
For now, Malaysian fans will have to wait for further information from Live Nation and Post Malone&rsquo;s official channels.
The most immediate step is for ticket holders to watch out for their GoLive Asia refund email, with refunds to be processed through the original payment method.
While the postponement will undoubtedly come as a disappointment to fans who had already made plans around the concert, there is still a possibility that the Kuala Lumpur show could return as part of a rescheduled tour.
For now, though, Post Malone will not be performing at Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil on 27 September 2026 as originally planned.

Post Malone’s Kuala Lumpur Concert Postponed Until Further Notice, Fans To Receive Refunds

South Korea&rsquo;s popular holiday island of Jeju is facing growing scrutiny after four people who had previously been reported missing were found dead within just three days.
The discoveries have come amid a widening police scandal involving an officer who is accused of improperly closing missing-person cases without properly confirming the whereabouts or safety of those reported missing.
The situation has sparked public anger and renewed questions about how missing-person cases are handled in South Korea, with President Lee Jae Myung now calling for greater police accountability and reform.
Missing Woman Found 104 Days After Disappearance
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/81351da38e610a03074a9b2b383ff4ec2180e7e0edd51ecbf29cd2725ec23a21" />
One of the cases at the centre of the controversy involves 37-year-old Jang Mi-ran, who was reported missing in May.
Her case was allegedly closed by a police officer identified by the surname Bu, who reportedly told her family that he had contacted Jang and that she did not want her whereabouts disclosed.
Investigators later found no records supporting the officer's claim that he had spoken to her.
Jang's body was eventually discovered on 24 August, around 104 days after she disappeared, at a palm tree farm in Hallim-eup. The location was reportedly only around 400 metres from the accommodation where she had been staying.
Her remains were badly decomposed, meaning police were unable to identify her visually. Personal belongings, including a mobile phone and bracelet, as well as clothing believed to match what she was last wearing, helped investigators establish a preliminary identification.
An autopsy and forensic examinations are being carried out to confirm her identity and determine the cause and time of death.
Another Missing Man Also Found Dead
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e0da2e2c53df48ca2fa4374ede6898f5a2276d2d89a55d8823d57d24820a8384" />
The same officer is also accused of improperly closing the missing-person case of a man in his 60s.
The man was reported missing in July, with his family later saying police had told them he was safe but did not wish to reveal his location. According to local reports, his family trusted the police's explanation and waited for him to return.
Instead, his body was found on 22 August, more than 50 days after he was reported missing. His family had filed another missing-person report after learning about Jang's case, prompting authorities to restart the search.
The man's son later expressed his frustration, saying the family had believed the police when they were told that his father was safe.
Two More Bodies Discovered On Jeju
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8badcad7d917e247ee4acb87875451679d8108f59721d78065a25fed6b313d60" />
Two other people reported missing were also found dead during the same period.
A person who had been reported missing was found near a valley in Aewol-eup on 24 August, while another man believed to be in his 70s was discovered in waters near Sinheung-ri the previous day.
The circumstances surrounding all four deaths remain under investigation.
Importantly, authorities have not linked the four deaths to one another, and there is currently no confirmed evidence that a serial killer or organised criminal group is operating on Jeju.
However, the unusual concentration of deaths, combined with the allegations against the police officer, has fuelled speculation and public anxiety online.
Officer Bu Accused Of Mishandling Hundreds Of Cases
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5fd4f4cf3dd003666171f5c9ec9b6bd3fd104782bba61968caa7f563683ef1a9" />
Police are now reviewing 298 missing-person cases handled by Bu during roughly 17 months on Jeju.
He is accused of falsely claiming to have contacted missing individuals before closing their cases and removing them from the police missing-person profiling system.
Bu has denied the allegations, maintaining that he had contacted the two missing people whose cases are at the centre of the current investigation.
However, police said they have so far been unable to find records showing that those conversations took place.
He is facing allegations including dereliction of duty, falsifying and using official electronic records, and obstructing official duties by deception.
Four senior officers at Jeju Seobu Police Station have also been removed from their duties pending an internal investigation into whether there were failures in supervision and command.
South Korea Begins Wider Review
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/00cc15a9b997b7725363216d28f8efe9a5a94387e0c85a96c063559902af25e7" />
The controversy has now grown beyond Jeju.
South Korean authorities are reviewing whether similar problems may have occurred elsewhere, with police agencies in Seoul and Busan also examining previously closed missing-person reports.
The scrutiny comes as South Korea records tens of thousands of missing-person reports every year. Official figures show that more than 70,000 adults were reported missing in 2025, with the vast majority resolved within a month.
Experts have suggested that the high rate of quickly resolved cases may contribute to officers becoming less cautious when dealing with missing adults.
President Lee Calls For Police Reform
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b97470f89d08f4c98d0f9a2ac3ce22639869f4b7146fe89a675abd12d4ce12bd" />
The scandal has reached the country's highest levels, with President Lee Jae Myung calling for stronger accountability within the police force.
He said the recent breakdown in police discipline and failures in public safety had become serious concerns, particularly as police are expected to take on greater investigative responsibilities following reforms to South Korea's criminal justice system.
The National Police Agency has since apologised over the handling of the cases and said it would strengthen safeguards for closing missing-person reports.
One proposed change would require senior officers to review the evidence and reasons for closing a case before it can officially be marked as resolved.
Jeju's Reputation Faces A New Challenge
Jeju is one of South Korea's most popular tourist destinations, known for its beaches, volcanic landscapes and quiet countryside.
The recent deaths, however, have prompted anxiety among some residents and tourists, with reports of people reconsidering or cancelling trips after the cases spread widely online.
While there is no evidence at present that Jeju is experiencing a wider wave of violent crime, the police scandal has nevertheless raised serious questions about public safety and the handling of vulnerable people.
For now, investigators are focused on determining how the four people died and whether further missing-person cases were mishandled.
With 298 cases under review, the full extent of the Jeju police scandal may take some time to emerge.

Four Missing People Found Dead In 3 Days As Jeju Police Face Missing-Person Scandal

Apple has officially confirmed the date for its next major iPhone launch event, and for Malaysian viewers, the event will take place on 10 September 2026 due to the time difference.
The event will be held at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, but Malaysians can tune in at 1am on Thursday, 10 September.
This year's event is also expected to be significant as it will be the first major iPhone launch led by John Ternus, who is set to become Apple&rsquo;s CEO on 1 September, with Tim Cook moving into the role of executive chairman.
Apple is teasing the event with the tagline &ldquo;Surprise and Shine&rdquo;, although the company has yet to reveal exactly which products will make their debut.
iPhone 18 Pro And Pro Max Expected
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8b9b3d21bc2c9a7b4e5074af90d5a6cde8e803f86939ee4d0200f0c342d5c14f" />
As with previous September events, the latest iPhone models are expected to be the main attraction.
Apple is widely expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, with reports pointing towards improvements to performance, battery life and camera capabilities.
Rather than introducing a completely new design, the Pro models are expected to bring a number of refinements to the current generation. One reported change is a smaller Dynamic Island, which could give users more usable screen space.
New colour options are also rumoured, with Dark Cherry reportedly being considered as one of the headline finishes for the iPhone 18 Pro series.
As always, these specifications, colours and design changes remain rumours until Apple officially announces them.
The Foldable iPhone Could Steal The Show
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/edef0634203a0d6787e3cfbdeb3e01f64f3286af62db8e1ea9e1449a6626783f" />
The biggest announcement could be Apple's long-rumoured first foldable iPhone.
The device has been referred to as the iPhone Ultra, iPhone Fold and iPhone Duo in various reports, although its official name remains unknown. Apple is expected to use a book-style foldable design, allowing the phone to open into a much larger display that could offer an experience closer to a small iPad.
Reports have suggested an outer display of around 5.5 inches and an inner screen of approximately 7.8 inches. The device could also be extremely thin when unfolded. Should it launch, the foldable iPhone would represent Apple's most significant change to the iPhone form factor since the introduction of the iPhone X in 2017.
It would also see Apple entering a foldable smartphone market that Samsung and several Chinese manufacturers have already established.
Malaysia Could Be Among The First Markets
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/caa768d4698445daf3d771ab8c30f8e7b46a90cf19567e0ff7ec38e91d47bf1f" />
For Malaysian Apple fans, the good news is that the wait may not be particularly long after the announcement.
Apple has historically included Malaysia among its earlier launch markets for new iPhones. Based on its previous release patterns, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could potentially be available for pre-order shortly after the event, followed by retail availability the following week.
However, Apple has yet to confirm the Malaysian pre-order or release dates.
The foldable iPhone could have a different launch timeline. Reports suggest Apple may unveil the device in September but release it later or only in selected markets due to production challenges.
Apple Watch And Other Products Could Also Appear
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/8382c44e709f6b54ac72a7ee8e2e433bc91e0671d22ae5f3948a2cbfcc6e0fa4" />
The iPhone is expected to dominate the event, but Apple may also introduce new wearable devices.
Among the products rumoured to be in development are the Apple Watch Series 12 and a new Apple Watch Ultra.

There have also been reports of updated AirPods, although Apple's rumoured camera-equipped AirPods are not expected to be ready for this particular event.
Apple is also believed to be working on new home products and other accessories, but some of these could be saved for a separate announcement later this year.
What About The Standard iPhone 18?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3cdb595a8244051fc8a6cdc8ee33809fef524fedd9e4823f4b4448eee7cccc22" />
Apple could also be changing its traditional iPhone launch strategy.
Reports suggest the standard iPhone 18, iPhone 18e and a new-generation iPhone Air may not arrive until 2027, rather than launching alongside the Pro models. A staggered release would allow Apple to place greater emphasis on its premium iPhones during the September event while creating another major sales period later in the year.
Apple has not officially confirmed this release strategy.
Apple Intelligence Could Be A Major Focus
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b0381b02119fcc88379abdb51521d638efa0e9214320010c276afbd34ce048e1" />
Beyond hardware, Apple Intelligence and the next generation of Siri are expected to feature prominently.
Apple has been working on making Siri more capable of understanding context, working across applications and handling more complex requests.
The upcoming iPhone models could therefore play an important role in Apple's wider AI strategy, particularly as the company continues trying to catch up with competitors in the artificial intelligence space.
When Can Malaysians Watch The Event?
For viewers in Malaysia, Apple's event will begin at 1am on Thursday, 10 September 2026.
The keynote will be streamed through Apple's official website and YouTube channel, meaning Malaysians can watch the announcements live from home.
With a new CEO, the iPhone 18 Pro series and potentially Apple's first foldable iPhone all expected to take centre stage, 10 September could be one of Apple's biggest iPhone launch days in years.

Apple Confirms iPhone Launch Event For 10 September — Here’s What Malaysians Can Expect

TNG eWallet users now have another option when it comes to accessing financing, following a new partnership between TNG Digital and GXBank.
Through the integration, eligible users can now apply for GXBank FlexiCredit directly through the CashLoan feature in the TNG eWallet app, without having to open a separate GXBank bank account.
The move expands TNG eWallet&rsquo;s growing financial services ecosystem, giving its more than 27 million verified users access to another form of regulated financing through an app many already use for their daily transactions.
What Is GXBank FlexiCredit?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/92d93520ecc80fe04982ad00ae51835720ae6a4d0f62dc20cdee7fe6d75444e4" />
Unlike a conventional personal loan that gives you a fixed lump sum, FlexiCredit works as a revolving line of credit.
Once approved, users receive a credit limit of up to RM150,000, which they can draw from whenever they need it. Instead of borrowing the entire amount upfront, users only take out the money they require.
As the amount borrowed is repaid, the available credit limit is replenished, meaning users can access the remaining facility again without submitting a new application. GXBank says there are also no annual or processing fees, while interest is only charged on the amount actually drawn down.
Repayment periods range from six to 60 months, with flat interest rates starting from 3.78% per annum, equivalent to an effective interest rate of 6.45% per annum.
Apply Without Opening A New Bank Account
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/876a223f059ee8f8e3b6533bf53769016e60dc3fb77b3174590361e7e7f6512e" />
One of the main benefits of the new TNG eWallet integration is that eligible users do not need to open a separate GXBank account to apply.
The application can be completed through GOFinance &gt; CashLoan within the TNG eWallet app.
Users can select their preferred credit limit and repayment tenure, provide their income information and complete the required identity verification. Depending on their employment status, supporting documents such as an EPF statement or bank statement may also be required.
TNG Digital and GXBank said the integration is aimed at making regulated financing more accessible, particularly for Malaysians who may have limited credit history or find traditional banking processes more difficult to navigate.
Who Can Apply For FlexiCredit?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ee07f0996c5f45fbe73d571754b6048b6eea83f80c91b7474703f3b61b9877d9" />
The facility is available to eligible Malaysian citizens who meet GXBank's requirements.
Applicants need to have a fully verified TNG eWallet account and meet the applicable age and income criteria. The stated minimum gross income is RM1,500 per month, or RM18,000 annually, with both salaried and self-employed individuals able to apply.
However, approval is not guaranteed simply because someone meets the basic requirements.
The financing offer shown through CashLoan is determined based on the applicant's eligibility, requested amount and repayment period, as well as the bank's credit assessment and applicable regulatory requirements.
How To Apply Through TNG eWallet
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/29A9JkvkrFk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The application process is designed to be completed digitally.
After opening the TNG eWallet app, users can tap GOFinance, head to CashLoan and select GXBank FlexiCredit.
From there, applicants can choose their desired credit limit and repayment tenure before providing their financial and employment details.
Once submitted, applications can typically be processed within minutes, although the actual approval time may vary depending on the information and documents required.
Approved users can then access their available credit through the CashLoan dashboard and draw down funds when needed.
What Could Malaysians Use It For?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/24e34c656579bf901b537f43fbb8bcb6153a30f6f5e80c23ab5786b6e5661fc0" />
According to GXBank, existing FlexiCredit users are using the facility for purposes including emergencies, managing cash flow and making larger purchases.
Its revolving structure could be useful for people who do not necessarily need a large amount of money at once but want access to an approved credit facility when unexpected expenses arise.
However, as with any form of borrowing, users should consider the interest costs and ensure they are comfortable with the repayment commitments before drawing down funds.
Part Of TNG eWallet's Growing Financial Ecosystem
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/35d58c747003fdd8d6d5a745335d6dd165bee65e679b50709458dc9f430ca6d7" />
The partnership is part of TNG Digital's wider push to turn TNG eWallet into more than just a payments platform.
Its GOFinance hub already brings together various financial services, including investments, insurance, credit and remittance options. By integrating products from financial institutions such as GXBank, TNG Digital is aiming to create a broader financial ecosystem within a platform Malaysians already use regularly.
For GXBank, meanwhile, bringing FlexiCredit directly into TNG eWallet provides another way to reach customers who may prefer managing their finances digitally.
Another Step Into Digital Banking
The new integration means eligible Malaysians can now access up to RM150,000 in revolving credit through TNG eWallet, without needing to separately sign up for a GXBank account.
With flexible repayment periods and the ability to draw funds only when needed, FlexiCredit is positioned as an alternative to traditional lump-sum personal loans.
Still, the key point is that it remains a credit facility, not free cash. Users should carefully consider the interest rate, repayment period and amount they can realistically afford before using it.

Malaysia is exploring ways to reform its tax system by studying whether selected Goods and Services Tax (GST) mechanisms could be incorporated into the existing Sales and Services Tax (SST).
Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the aim is to create a more progressive and efficient tax system, but stressed that the government is not looking to simply reinstate the previous 6% GST.
The Finance Ministry has been instructed to study the proposal before presenting its findings to the Cabinet.
Hybrid GST-SST Plan Still In Early Stages
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d11ada6b71d69ab81631de111886796bf46aa72ea8495d6ba75a3418144d95b2" />
Government spokesman Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan has been given time to prepare a report on the proposed model.
The study will consider Malaysia's experience with both GST and SST, including weaknesses in the current system and problems encountered during the previous GST era.
Fahmi said there is currently no confirmed timeline for the study, including whether any changes could be included in Budget 2027.
For now, the move does not represent a return of GST. The government is only studying whether certain GST features could improve the existing SST framework.
What Could A Hybrid GST-SST System Include?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/72dd1d5985ea19cda8e9901436645f1e7e01d3457b74b2a9c15a7acc6be9a94b" />
Anwar has stressed that SST would remain the foundation of Malaysia's tax system.
One option highlighted by tax experts is an Input Tax Credit (ITC) mechanism, which could allow eligible businesses to recover certain taxes paid on their inputs.
Under the current SST system, businesses can sometimes face tax cascading, where taxes become embedded in the cost of goods and services and are effectively taxed again further along the supply chain.
A targeted ITC system could reduce this problem without requiring Malaysia to return to the previous GST model.
Experts have also suggested greater use of digital tax administration and invoice-based reporting to strengthen tax collection and reduce revenue leakages.
Why Not Simply Bring Back GST?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/574e8622aa9ad883597ad55c57c83e580748c38081cf500d606b8a8f00c8b77e" />
Anwar has acknowledged that GST is generally considered an efficient and transparent method of tax collection, but remains concerned about its broad-based nature.
He has said GST would place a wider tax burden on Malaysians, including those already facing cost-of-living pressures.
&ldquo;GST is a broad-based tax that taxes everyone. I do not agree with that.&rdquo;
The government is therefore considering whether selected GST mechanisms can be introduced without creating another broad-based consumption tax.
Malaysia&rsquo;s Previous GST Experience
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4725334439a6321198ecaa67beca1d3fff2177c634ea6b2b2d758a8a1efe440f" />
Malaysia introduced GST in April 2015 at a rate of 6%.
The multi-stage consumption tax faced widespread public criticism, particularly over concerns about its impact on living costs. Businesses also raised concerns over delayed tax refunds, which could affect cash flow.
GST was subsequently suspended and zero-rated in June 2018 before being abolished and replaced by SST in September 2018.
These experiences are expected to form part of the Finance Ministry's assessment as it considers any new tax structure.
Businesses Warn Against Higher Compliance Costs
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/893b81326aee95189298d472f860fcfb91738ef1383321960b33c515e904cd60" />
While tax experts have highlighted the potential benefits of an ITC mechanism, business groups have urged the government to keep any new system simple.
KPMG Malaysia head of tax Soh Lian Seng said a targeted credit mechanism could reduce inefficiencies caused by tax cascading, while digital reporting could improve administration.
However, SME Association of Malaysia president Chin Chee Seong warned that a complicated system could increase business costs, which may ultimately be passed on to consumers.
SAMENTA president Datuk William Ng similarly pointed to delayed ITC refunds during the previous GST era as a major concern.
He said businesses had already invested in systems for GST, SST and e-invoicing, and should not be forced to absorb another round of software, training and compliance costs.
What Could The New Model Look Like?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/94c6fcd5b80a69be43550f9fd686c4c4fcd2b8b7d9a015cc3a6f024b3bfada50" />
Experts have suggested several possible approaches.
One option would be to have GST as a broader consumption tax while retaining SST or other targeted taxes for selected goods and services.
Another could involve a GST-style system with zero-rated or exempt sectors, alongside additional taxes on selected products such as luxury goods, tobacco and other items. Tax expert Harvindar Singh said Malaysia could also study international examples such as India and Canada, where broader consumption taxes operate alongside more targeted taxation.
However, he warned that simply placing GST on top of the existing SST could create unnecessary complexity and further tax-on-tax effects.
Concerns Over Cost Of Living
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6440fe352f04ab2863e50260d8ea8149e87ef661fa5061dec9f3023eefceb8fe" />
Beyond revenue collection, the biggest concern is how any tax reform would affect ordinary Malaysians.
Critics have called for the government to provide clear details on tax rates, which goods and services would be affected, registration thresholds and how input tax credits would work.
There have also been calls for a proper impact study and assessment of compliance costs before any major changes are introduced.
The concern is that higher costs for businesses could eventually be passed on to consumers through higher prices.
Is Malaysia Bringing Back GST?
Not at this stage.
The government has not announced plans to restore the previous 6% GST.
Instead, the Finance Ministry is studying whether selected GST features can be incorporated into the current SST system to make tax collection more efficient while limiting the impact on households.
The eventual outcome could be a modified SST system, a hybrid model or no major change at all.
With Budget 2027 approaching, Malaysia's proposed tax reform is likely to remain closely watched as the government weighs its need for stronger revenue against the pressure of rising living costs.

Malaysia Is Exploring A Hybrid GST-SST Tax System: Here’s What It Could Mean

TikTok could be taking its financial services push a step further by allowing users to send money directly through direct messages, potentially turning private chats into another way to make payments.
References to the feature were reportedly discovered in the code of TikTok&rsquo;s US iPhone app. However, TikTok has stressed that the feature is not currently being tested in any market, meaning it remains an early-stage project and may never be released.
How Would TikTok Payments Through DMs Work?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ef1767c296d36836de31ecfde0936a686e0925a0f670d847742ca041e69a06f7" />
According to reports, the proposed feature would allow users to send payments directly inside an existing TikTok conversation.
The recipient could reportedly &ldquo;tap to accept&rdquo; the incoming payment before a set expiry date, while the sender would receive updates on the transaction through push notifications or their TikTok inbox. There also appear to be references to users being able to attach a message or note to a payment, similar to the way users can add captions to transactions on services such as Venmo.
The idea would make sending money feel much like sending a normal TikTok message, potentially removing the need to switch to a separate banking or payment application. For example, users could potentially send money to friends after discussing a purchase, pay someone they met through the platform or transfer money to a creator &mdash; all without leaving TikTok.
TikTok Pay Could Power The Feature
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b4f1eb2e394e4c8354c51f226e3d4b8d89f80a2c8404ddd5281aab8e6de31ce8" />
The reported peer-to-peer payment system could be powered by TikTok Pay, ByteDance&rsquo;s existing payment service.
TikTok Pay is currently available in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, where it is used for transactions through TikTok Shop. A peer-to-peer payment feature would represent a significant expansion of TikTok Pay, moving it beyond payments to merchants and towards direct transfers between individual users.
ByteDance has already explored similar ideas in China. Its Chinese platform, Douyin, has supported peer-to-peer payments through Douyin Pay, allowing users to make purchases, pay during livestream shopping and send tips.
TikTok Is Moving Further Into Financial Services
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b7cf42b36c5f639b21ec516dee5766cb20f4434451b3c1c0333330bd900f5f8f" />
The reported feature fits into TikTok parent company ByteDance&rsquo;s wider push into financial technology and social commerce.
TikTok is no longer simply a platform for short-form videos. Users can already shop through TikTok Shop, purchase digital coins, send virtual gifts to creators and interact with businesses directly through the app. A direct payment system could allow TikTok to keep even more of those transactions within its own ecosystem.
According to Sensor Tower data cited in reports, consumers worldwide have spent more than US$2.9 billion (around RM12.3 billion) on TikTok so far this year. The platform has also reportedly remained the world's leading app for in-app purchase revenue since 2022.
With such a large amount of spending already taking place on TikTok, adding peer-to-peer payments could provide another way for the company to connect its social, entertainment and commerce services.
Could TikTok Challenge Venmo And Other Payment Apps?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/37b6c11608191448f0b7bd8ec5f443d2aa2694ca76e6b28dd5fdfa0c1c1a5b96" />
A built-in payment feature could put TikTok into more direct competition with established services such as Venmo and Zelle in the US.
However, TikTok would have one major advantage: it already has a huge audience. Instead of convincing users to download another financial app, TikTok could place payment functionality directly into an application they already use to communicate, watch content and shop.
This could be particularly useful for creators and sellers. Users already share payment details such as Venmo or Cash App usernames through TikTok profiles, so an integrated system could potentially eliminate the need to move transactions elsewhere.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1727d7a4a4cd4635abb9c250e3aafc82d55192e39af891dd9eec446a4b87a48e" />
Other social platforms are heading in a similar direction. X has been expanding its X Money service, while Facebook Messenger has offered peer-to-peer payments in the US for years.
The bigger trend appears to be social media companies attempting to evolve into &ldquo;everything apps&rdquo;, where users can communicate, shop and manage financial transactions in one place.
But There Are Privacy And Scam Concerns
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/898c09abb7bec5e58afbefee7c2eec752ed63c36d4d61b493a76f2df9e5625c5" />
Making payments as easy as sending a message could certainly be convenient, but it could also create new challenges.
A payment request appearing inside a familiar conversation could potentially make scams and fraudulent transactions harder for users to spot. Criminals could use hacked accounts, fake profiles or convincing messages to pressure people into sending money.
There are also concerns about younger users. TikTok has a huge teenage and young adult audience, and making payments almost frictionless could potentially encourage impulsive spending or make financial scams easier to execute.
TikTok's existing financial tools have also faced legal scrutiny in the US, with some lawsuits involving allegations related to financial and child exploitation, money transmission laws and money laundering. These cases concern existing features and should not be treated as evidence of problems with a peer-to-peer payment system that does not yet exist.
No Launch Date Has Been Confirmed
For now, TikTok's reported peer-to-peer payment feature should be viewed as a development project rather than an upcoming confirmed feature.
The discovery of code shows that ByteDance is exploring the possibility, but TikTok has said it is not currently being tested in any market.
There are also no confirmed details on potential transaction limits, fees, eligibility requirements, banking partners or whether the feature would launch in Malaysia, the US or other markets.
Still, the idea highlights how TikTok is evolving beyond social media and into commerce and financial services.
For Malaysian users, the more immediate takeaway is that TikTok Pay already exists locally through TikTok Shop. Whether Malaysians will eventually be able to send money to friends simply by opening a TikTok DM, however, remains to be seen.

TikTok Could Soon Let Users Send Money Through Peer-To-Peer Payments In DMs

Shopee users in Malaysia now have another way to pay for their online purchases, with Touch &rsquo;n Go eWallet (TNG eWallet) now supported through DuitNow QR.
The addition fulfils a long-standing request from Malaysian shoppers who have wanted to use their TNG eWallet balance directly when checking out on Shopee. However, there is a catch &mdash; TNG eWallet is not available as a direct payment option. Instead, shoppers will need to select DuitNow QR at checkout and complete the payment through the TNG eWallet app.
How To Pay For Shopee Purchases With TNG eWallet
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/69ab34d0fe1b44810e1db012905bca1dcc08f64ec364037094df5f225ef65b16" />
The process is relatively straightforward.
When checking out on Shopee, users can select DuitNow QR as their preferred payment method. Shopee will then generate a QR code for the transaction.
From there, shoppers have two options. They can either save or take a screenshot of the QR code and open it through the TNG eWallet app, or use the app's Universal Scan feature to scan the code directly.
Once scanned, TNG eWallet will display the total payment amount along with Shopee Marketplace as the merchant. Users can then review the details and confirm the transaction to complete their purchase.
While it is not quite the seamless integration some users may have expected, the DuitNow QR option effectively allows TNG eWallet users to pay for Shopee purchases without having to rely on a card or online banking.
Interestingly, Shopee's payment information still lists Touch &rsquo;n Go and Boost as unsupported e-wallet payment methods, meaning DuitNow QR currently serves as the workaround for TNG eWallet users.
TNG eWallet Users Can Also Earn Cashback
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e79b7d22c9b3fccae6057948943f2a4d6ca87eee87b08de5417e8c8f95852006" />
The new payment option comes with another potential perk for shoppers.
Eligible users can earn 1% cashback on Shopee purchases through TNG eWallet's Shop &amp; Earn programme, with cashback capped at RM6.67 per order.
To qualify, shoppers need to enter Shopee through the Shop &amp; Earn page in the TNG eWallet app before making their purchase. Simply paying with TNG eWallet through DuitNow QR does not necessarily guarantee cashback if the required Shop &amp; Earn process is not followed.
Cashback is typically tracked within two days and confirmed within 14 days.
However, there are several exclusions shoppers should be aware of.
Which Shopee Purchases Are Not Eligible For Cashback?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/90fd3ce7bd57c0df23fdb4f037439326a7294dc739fbda6daa57ae92aa4a4124" />
According to TNG Digital, cashback does not apply to certain types of purchases and transactions.
These include:
<ul>
<li>Digital goods</li>
<li>Telco and utility payments</li>
<li>Vouchers</li>
<li>Travel bookings</li>
<li>Donations</li>
<li>Cinema and event purchases</li>
<li>Local services</li>
<li>Investments</li>
<li>ShopeePay Near Me transactions</li>
</ul>
Shopee LIVE products and streaming-priced items are also excluded, while purchases made using promo codes or vouchers that are not featured on the Shop &amp; Earn platform may not qualify.
Additional charges such as fees, taxes, service charges, shipping and delivery costs are also excluded from the cashback calculation.
As such, shoppers should check the Shop &amp; Earn terms before making a purchase if they are specifically shopping to earn cashback.
What Other Payment Methods Does Shopee Malaysia Support?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5a2dccf8f6ae0dd11ec7ba723060651f4fa6fcd777d7d5761103a1f3afcf6201" />
The addition of DuitNow QR gives Shopee users another payment option alongside its existing methods.
Shopee Malaysia currently supports payment methods including SPay, credit and debit cards, online banking, Google Pay, Apple Pay, cash-on-delivery (COD) and cash payments at selected physical payment locations.
For online banking, shoppers can choose from numerous participating banks, including Maybank, CIMB, RHB, Public Bank, Hong Leong Bank, HSBC, Bank Islam, Bank Rakyat, OCBC and UOB, among others.
Eligible shoppers can also access instalment plans through selected credit cards, while Shopee's SPayLater service provides a buy-now-pay-later option for users who meet the relevant eligibility requirements.
A Step Towards More Flexible Digital Payments
Although TNG eWallet has not been added as a standalone payment option on Shopee, its integration through DuitNow QR gives Malaysian shoppers more flexibility at checkout.
It also highlights how DuitNow QR is increasingly becoming a bridge between different digital payment platforms, allowing users to make payments across participating merchants and services without being tied to a single e-wallet ecosystem.
For regular Shopee shoppers who already keep money in their TNG eWallet, the new option offers another convenient way to pay &mdash; and potentially earn a little cashback along the way.

Shopee Malaysia Now Accepts TNG eWallet Payments Through DuitNow QR

Have you ever thought about becoming a YouTuber and turning your content into a source of income? You are far from alone.
Content creation has become an increasingly attractive career path, with millions turning to platforms such as YouTube to build audiences, personal brands and, eventually, make money. YouTube now has more than 3 million creators in its Partner Programme (YPP), while Shorts receives more than 200 billion views every day.
But for aspiring creators hoping to earn through advertising, the road to monetisation is about to get tougher.

Starting 1 February 2027, new creators applying for YouTube's Partner Programme will need significantly higher viewing figures before they can access advertising and YouTube Premium revenue sharing.
Currently, creators need at least 1,000 subscribers and either:
<ul>
<li>4,000 qualified public watch hours in the past 12 months; or</li>
<li>10 million qualified Shorts views within 90 days.</li>
</ul>
Under the new requirements, those figures will double to:
<ul>
<li>8,000 qualified watch hours over the previous 365 days; or</li>
<li>20 million qualified Shorts views within 90 days.</li>
</ul>
The 1,000-subscriber requirement remains unchanged.
The new thresholds will only apply to creators joining YPP for advertising and Premium revenue. Existing YPP members will not be affected by the higher entry requirements.
YouTube said the changes mark its first significant overhaul of the Partner Programme requirements since 2018.
Shorts Creators Face A New Hurdle

The changes will also affect creators already earning from Shorts.
From February 2027, creators will need to maintain at least 10 million qualified Shorts views within a rolling 90-day period to remain eligible for Shorts advertising and subscription revenue sharing.
Those who fall below the threshold will remain in YPP and can continue earning from their long-form videos. Shorts revenue sharing will automatically resume once they cross the 10 million-view mark again.
YouTube said creators already generating significant revenue from Shorts are unlikely to be heavily affected.
Why Is YouTube Raising The Bar?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/f63b92982d0567ded99160216a4db1269f11eef442b50f1803c21fc873e36dd3" />
According to YouTube Vice President of Creator Products Amjad Hanif, the changes are designed to make Shorts revenue more "meaningful" for creators.
With the enormous growth of Shorts, YouTube says it wants to reward creators who consistently drive views, engagement and conversations on the platform.
However, for smaller creators, reaching 20 million Shorts views in 90 days or 8,000 watch hours in a year could make the journey towards ad monetisation considerably harder.
Smaller Creators Still Have Other Options
YouTube is not completely closing the door on smaller channels.
The requirements for Fan Funding and Shopping features will remain unchanged. Creators can still qualify for the lower YPP tier with:
<ul>
<li>500 subscribers</li>
<li>At least three public uploads within 90 days</li>
<li>Either 3,000 qualified watch hours in the past year or 3 million qualified Shorts views within 90 days</li>
</ul>
This tier does not provide advertising or YouTube Premium revenue, but allows eligible creators to access tools that let fans directly support their work.
YouTube is also planning new incentive programmes for creators who fall below the Shorts threshold, including potential bonuses through YouTube Shopping, incentives for brand deals and earnings boosts for creators who start or grow trends.
More details are expected to be announced later.
Premium Lite Could Open Another Revenue Stream
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/470b5e30406690355b5eacd0d633777245efe276a23ed4b92b2b2a3fb300527e" />
Alongside the monetisation changes, YouTube is expanding Premium Lite to all countries where full YouTube Premium is available.
Premium Lite offers uninterrupted viewing of most videos, as well as offline downloads and background playback, although it does not provide the same ad-free experience for YouTube Music.
The subscription will also contribute to a dedicated creator revenue pool. YouTube says 60% of net Premium Lite subscription revenue will go into this pool, compared with 30% for full Premium.
The money is then distributed according to subscriber watch time and views, with creators receiving 55% of allocated revenue from long-form videos and 45% from Shorts.
YouTube also expects to pay creators more in 2027 than it did in 2026.
The Creator Grind Is Getting Real
YouTube's changes reflect just how competitive the creator economy has become. With more than three million creators already in YPP and billions of daily Shorts views, simply going viral may no longer be enough to turn content into a steady income.
For aspiring YouTubers, the message is clear: building a consistent audience and keeping viewers engaged will matter more than ever.
The dream of making "YouTube money" is still alive &mdash; but from 2027, creators may have to grind a lot harder to get there.
