A Malaysian pilot is facing the possibility of the death penalty in Indonesia after allegedly attempting to smuggle more than 70,000 ecstasy pills weighing around 26kg into Jakarta while operating a commercial passenger flight.
The 39-year-old pilot, identified only by the initials MSO, was arrested shortly after landing at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, where Indonesian customs officers allegedly discovered the drugs concealed inside his luggage. The case has since triggered investigations in both Malaysia and Indonesia, raising concerns over aviation safety, airport security and a suspected international drug trafficking syndicate.

The pilot was detained on 29 July after arriving in Jakarta from Kuala Lumpur.
According to Indonesian authorities, customs officers became suspicious after an X-ray scan flagged unusual images in his crew luggage. A subsequent inspection uncovered 14 packages containing 70,114 ecstasy (MDMA) pills weighing approximately 26kg, along with a small quantity of methamphetamine found in his hand luggage.
The drugs are estimated to be worth around 60 billion rupiah (approximately RM13.5 million to RM14 million).
Authorities also released CCTV footage showing the pilot passing through the crew fast-track lane before being selected for additional screening based on risk profiling and behavioural analysis.
Allegedly Flew While Under The Influence

Investigators said a urine test conducted after his arrest returned positive for methamphetamine, MDMA and cocaine, suggesting he had allegedly operated the flight while under the influence of multiple narcotics.
Authorities described the findings as particularly alarming given he had just completed an international commercial flight carrying passengers.
Investigators also claimed they recovered a small bottle containing urine, which they suspect may have been intended to falsify the results of a drug test if required.
Allegedly Paid RM50,000 To Transport Drugs
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c1a77aef5b40a9a19271d9f03fc6f856260f87128192230efe665b945cfee887" />
During questioning, the pilot allegedly admitted he had agreed to transport the drugs for an international trafficking syndicate in exchange for around RM50,000.
Investigators said he had been instructed by a handler in Malaysia to fly the luggage into Jakarta before checking into a hotel, where another syndicate member would collect it.
Authorities believe he was acting as a courier for a wider cross-border drug trafficking operation.
The pilot also allegedly admitted this was his third drug smuggling attempt, having previously transported drugs into Sabah and successfully smuggled around 7kg of methamphetamine into Jakarta during an earlier trip.
Malaysia And Indonesia Investigating
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/56a8251699de339a1877d2a129fdead97ff6b4889501697a407e926ea2e29c30" />
The case has prompted close cooperation between Malaysian and Indonesian authorities.
Bukit Aman confirmed that officers from its Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) will travel to Jakarta to assist investigations and gather further information.
Investigators are examining the source of the drugs, whether the pilot acted alone or as part of a larger syndicate, whether similar smuggling operations had taken place previously, and how the narcotics allegedly passed through Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) undetected.
Despite the allegations, Malaysian police said the pilot had no prior criminal or drug-related record in Malaysia.
How Did The Drugs Pass Through KLIA?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7adb2ffde83e38e1e203161f91f0da7cbfa2098b2fc24b34821015c5e3b6e651" />
Following the arrest, Malaysian authorities began reviewing how the drugs cleared airport security.
The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) confirmed the pilot underwent all mandatory security screening before departure. According to AKPS director-general Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, the luggage showed no suspicious images during X-ray screening and therefore did not trigger secondary inspection under existing procedures.
He explained that KLIA's screening system combines artificial intelligence with human assessment, with officers making the final decision on whether further inspection is required.
Authorities believe the drugs may have been concealed in a way that prevented them from being detected. Mohd Shuhaily also stressed that if investigations uncover any misconduct involving airport personnel, action will be taken.
Meanwhile, the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) has launched its own review into whether all aviation security procedures were followed and whether the airline complied with its mandatory Alcohol and Drug Management Programme, which prohibits crew from operating aircraft while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Malaysia Airlines Conducting Internal Review
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a91c38a9be3a2d149103c136a695440ad04111155bec6f9688761539f64e05d4" />
Malaysia Airlines said it is fully cooperating with Indonesian authorities while carrying out its own internal review.
In a statement, the airline said it takes the allegations seriously, has zero tolerance for misconduct and will continue to cooperate with investigators. It declined further comment while investigations remain ongoing.
The Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta has also confirmed it is providing consular assistance to the detained pilot.
Faces Life Imprisonment Or Death Penalty
The pilot has been charged under Indonesia's Law No. 35/2009 on Narcotics, including Articles 113(2), 114(2) and 132(1), which carry penalties ranging from life imprisonment to the death penalty.
Indonesia is known for having some of the world's toughest anti-drug laws. Although the country has not carried out an execution for drug offences since 2016, capital punishment remains a legal sentence for serious trafficking offences.
The pilot remains in custody in Jakarta as authorities from both countries continue investigating the alleged trafficking network and the circumstances surrounding one of the region's most high-profile aviation-related drug cases in recent years.

The pilot was allegedly caught with over 70,000 ecstasy pills worth RM13.5 million after flying from KL to Jakarta while under the influence.

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

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.

</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.

You can now apply for GXBank FlexiCredit via TNG eWallet without opening a separate bank account.

A devastating flash flood and mudslide struck the Nepal-Tibet border on 26 August 2026, sweeping through villages, roads, bridges and infrastructure and leaving hundreds of people unaccounted for.
Among those reported missing are 17 Malaysians, alongside hundreds of other foreign travellers and Nepali nationals. The disaster has triggered large-scale search and rescue efforts on both sides of the border, while authorities continue to warn of further flooding.

<script async="" src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The disaster struck the mountainous Rasuwa district in northern Nepal, close to the border with Tibet.
A sudden surge of water, mud and rocks swept into the Bhote Koshi River, devastating areas including Syabrubesi and Timure. Homes, vehicles and bridges were washed away, while roads, communications and electricity infrastructure were severely damaged.
A major border crossing at Gyirong Port on the Tibetan side was also hit by a mudslide, cutting road access as well as communications and power links.
Dramatic footage from the affected areas showed torrents of muddy water carrying vehicles and debris, with bridges and buildings collapsing under the force of the flood.
What Caused The Flash Flood?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/01afe22a5bc7fbf43803bcbdcdfb245923d9a0e38bddbd8b64bb2e7bc0465865" />
Initial reports suggested that a 4.4-magnitude earthquake may have triggered an avalanche of ice and rock, which then blocked the Lhende Khola river before sending a huge volume of water downstream.
However, further geological analysis has raised questions over whether an earthquake was actually responsible.
The US Geological Survey later said its analysis indicated that the seismic energy detected in the area was instead caused by a glacial collapse and debris flow, rather than an earthquake.
Experts from the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development have similarly pointed to a rock-and-ice avalanche in Nepal that may have blocked the river and caused the cascading flood.
The exact sequence of events is still being investigated.
17 Malaysians Among Hundreds Missing
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ecdebb6d08aa5ea9300ffd90fe3d7bca7a562f9e4c3bc72ab2e28141721683d8" />
The Nepal Tourism Board reported that 384 travellers, including 291 foreign nationals and 93 Nepalis, had been reported missing from the affected areas.
The missing foreigners include 17 Malaysians, more than 100 Indians, 12 Britons, four South Africans, three Americans, an Australian and a Dutch national.
The Malaysian Foreign Ministry said its embassy in Kathmandu was coordinating with local authorities to locate affected Malaysians and establish their safety.
Because roads and communication networks in the region have been heavily damaged, authorities are facing difficulties confirming the whereabouts of those who remain uncontactable.
Families trying to trace Malaysian travellers have been advised to provide relevant passport and travel details to the Malaysian Embassy for coordination with authorities.
Rescue Efforts Hampered By Difficult Conditions
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e5376b98ebdc77d301d5b664d760b456afa0cf282c6eb7f10577608402d6c758" />
Nepal has deployed police, military personnel and rescue teams to the affected areas, but the terrain and weather have made operations extremely difficult.
Rescue helicopters have reportedly struggled to land in some of the worst-hit areas because of high water levels, poor visibility and continuing rain. Authorities are also moving residents living in low-lying and riverside areas to safer locations as they warn that another flood could occur.
The concern comes from a remaining blockage upstream, which experts believe could release another sudden surge of water if it collapses. China has also launched a major rescue operation around Gyirong Port, with hundreds of personnel and emergency vehicles deployed to search for missing people.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for an all-out effort to locate survivors and strengthen monitoring and early warning systems to prevent further disasters.
India And Other Countries Offer Assistance
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e9cef444e32e3c49f398aa5c47eb9ba908ef08d7777ce5aa56bd6126d0b1f1c7" />
The disaster has also prompted support from neighbouring countries.
India is coordinating with Nepal on rescue and relief operations and has deployed aircraft carrying emergency supplies and medical equipment. Helicopters have also been earmarked for rescue and evacuation efforts.
Other countries, including South Korea, have offered assistance as authorities work to account for their citizens in the affected region.
The scale of the disaster has also prompted flood alerts downstream in India's Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, as rivers flowing from the Himalayas continue to rise.
A Region Already Vulnerable To Floods
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/555db7d6abb09567fb03691da5511c73389106b363bc6336d6ce70aebe6a2ac4" />
The Himalayan region regularly experiences floods and landslides during the June to September monsoon season, but experts say the growing threat of extreme weather is adding to the danger.
Scientists have warned that rising temperatures are accelerating glacier melt and contributing to the instability of ice and mountain slopes.
The region has experienced similar disasters before. Last year, flooding along the Bhote Koshi River killed people and destroyed a bridge connecting Nepal and China, disrupting transport and trade.
Rescue Operation Continues
The full scale of the devastation is still emerging, with authorities working to verify the number of missing and dead.
For the families of the 17 Malaysians and hundreds of other missing travellers, the immediate priority remains locating their loved ones.
With roads destroyed, communications disrupted and another possible flood threat hanging over the region, rescue teams in Nepal and Tibet are continuing their efforts under extremely challenging conditions.
