Azizulhasni Awang named Volkswagen Malaysia's first brand ambassador
VPCM managing director Renate Noessler highlighted Azizulhasni's sporting excellence and personal values as key reasons for the partnership. 'Azizul's story is one of ambition, agility and drive. Much like our cars, he represents performance that is purposeful and enduring,' she said.
Noessler emphasised that the collaboration goes beyond a typical endorsement, focusing on shared principles such as discipline and resilience. 'This partnership is about building a relationship that connects with Malaysians who value integrity, confidence and long-term reliability,' she added.
Known as the 'Pocket Rocketman', Azizulhasni expressed gratitude for the role, calling it both an honour and a responsibility. 'This is more than just a collaboration between an athlete and a brand. It is a meeting of shared values, performance, precision and living up to one's true potential,' he said.
The Olympic medallist drew parallels between his cycling career and Volkswagen's design philosophy, citing models like the Touareg as embodying strength and sophistication. 'Success doesn't happen by chance. It is built through discipline, consistency and the courage to push boundaries. These are the values I have lived by, and I see them clearly in the Volkswagen brand,' he said.
Azizulhasni hopes the partnership will inspire Malaysians, particularly the youth, to pursue their ambitions with determination. 'This isn't just about me and the cars. It is about encouraging Malaysians to dream bigger and to see their journey as more than just a destination,' he added.
Volkswagen confirmed that Azizulhasni will feature in upcoming campaigns as part of efforts to strengthen its brand presence in Malaysia. - Bernama

Tunku Azizah launches book on dual legal system governing Islamic finance
KUALA LUMPUR: Tengku Ampuan Pahang Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah today graced the launch of the book, From Shariah to Statute: Legal and Regulatory Framework of Islamic Finance in Malaysia, which provides a comprehensive overview of Malaysia's unique dual legal system governing the Islamic finance sector. The book launch was held in conjunction with the professorial lecture delivered by Prof Datin Dr Nurdianawati Irwani Abdullah, a finance lecturer at the International Islamic University Malaysia's (IIUM) Kulliyyah of Economics and Management Sciences. Tunku Azizah's arrival, as the Constitutional Head of the university, was warmly received by IIUM Rector Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr Osman Bakar and Mara chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki. The book, From Shariah to Statute: Legal and Regulatory Framework of Islamic Finance in Malaysia, explains the relationship between Syariah principles and statutory laws, highlighting the roles of key regulatory authorities, core legislations, and institutional mechanisms that uphold Syariah compliance, financial integrity, and consumer protection. The book also explores recent regulatory developments, including licensing and supervision of digital Islamic banks and takaful operators, alongside Malaysia's ongoing efforts to promote sustainability, innovation, and legal harmonisation within the Islamic finance ecosystem. Meanwhile, during her lecture titled '1 Malaysian, 1 Takaful Dream: Too Far to Reach?', Nurdianawati highlighted the pressing need for comprehensive health protection amid rising medical inflation, which surged to 12.6 per cent in 2023, more than double the global average, hence putting significant strain on household expenditures. She noted that takaful penetration remains low at around 20 per cent, with over 90 per cent of Malaysians lacking adequate coverage, and more than 85 per cent of small and medium enterprises without suitable protection. At the same time, she said nearly 70 per cent of Malaysians still rely on overcrowded public hospitals, where waiting times can exceed 24 hours, while private healthcare costs continue to rise. In response, Nurdianawati proposed a comprehensive action plan aimed at achieving the national goal of '1 Malaysian, 1 Takaful' by 2026, not merely a vision but a shared social responsibility. 'Achieving '1 Malaysian, 1 Takaful' requires cross-sector collaboration involving government agencies, takaful operators, employers, zakat and waqf bodies, and civil society. This is no longer optional but a social obligation to prevent anyone from falling into poverty due to illness. 'This plan targets increasing takaful penetration to 40 per cent by 2028. With strong commitment and thorough implementation, the dream of ensuring every Malaysian has basic health protection can be realised,' she added. - Bernama

EU court rules Volkswagen liable for use of defeat devices
BRUSSELS: The European Court of Justice on Friday ruled that carmakers like Volkswagen remain liable for using unlawful defeat devices, such as temperature-sensitive emissions software, even if the vehicles met EU standards, which doesn't guarantee the technology's legality. The case at the European Union's top court arose from two German lawsuits involving Volkswagen diesel vehicles fitted with defeat devices, either during production or through later software updates. The Court said compensation to buyers can be reduced based on vehicle use or capped at 15% of the purchase price, but it must still adequately reflect the damage caused. 'The impact on Volkswagen is expected to be limited, as only a few diesel-related lawsuits are still pending before German courts,' Volkswagen said. 'In our view, today's ECJ decision will not change that,' the German carmaker added. Defeat devices are tools or software that alter vehicle emissions, triggering legal disputes over whether manufacturers misuse them to conceal true pollution levels. Carmakers have argued these devices only activate at certain temperatures to protect the engine and comply with the law. Volkswagen was found to have hidden excessive levels of toxic diesel emissions in 2015, a scandal that led to a management rout and thousands of regulatory probes and lawsuits which are taking years to settle. - Reuters

KOTA KINABALU (Aug 1): Agrobank has launched its online account opening service, marking a significant stride in its digital banking journey. The launch took place today at the Sabah International Convention Centre and was officiated by Deputy Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Arthur Joseph Kurup. Arthur commended the move, saying it would greatly benefit rural communities who previously had to travel long distances to open bank accounts. 'This digital initiative improves accessibility and is expected to increase digital account openings by 10 to 15 percent, especially in previously unreachable areas,' he said. He added that the streamlined process, which takes just around ten minutes, would reduce the bank's operating costs by up to 30 percent. Agrobank Chief Executive Officer Dato Tengku Ahmad Badli Shah Raja Hussin said the digital system offers a faster, simpler and more user-friendly experience. Customers can now open a deposit account anytime, anywhere with just RM20, leveraging improved internet connectivity. 'This initiative also cuts down on paperwork and manual processing while expanding our reach beyond physical branches,' he said. 'It saves customers up to 75 percent of their time compared to traditional counter services, which usually take between 30 to 45 minutes.' Agrobank aims to register 1,500 new digital accounts within the next six months. The focus, he said, will be on underserved groups including youth, farmers and those with limited access to banking facilities. To address internet connectivity issues in remote areas, Agrobank has also introduced AgroTouch — a mobile account opening system using iPads connected via Starlink satellite technology. 'This mobile approach ensures inclusivity and personal service. Our staff will go directly to rural communities with the necessary equipment to assist customers in opening accounts,' said Tengku Ahmad. Customers can also access this service at Agrobank branches. The initiative supports Malaysia's broader digital transformation agenda by boosting financial inclusion, especially in the agriculture and food security sectors. Tengku Ahmad reaffirmed Agrobank's commitment to enhancing customer experience and operational efficiency for all Malaysians, particularly those in hard-to-reach areas. Agrobank has also officially launched the Takaful Kasih Plus Merdeka Edition Campaign, which will run from August 1 until September 30. Tengku Ahmad said in conjunction with Independence Month, they also launched the Takaful Kasih Plus Merdeka Edition Card, which features a special design with official Malaysian visual elements and is characterized by patriotic spirit. 'The specialty of this special edition card lies in the comprehensive coverage offered at a reasonable and affordable price. 'Customers will receive additional benefits such as for injuries due to grazing and ambulance charges, with a minimum takaful contribution of RM108 per year,' he said. Tengku Ahmad added that the Takaful Kasih Plus Merdeka Edition Campaign also increases customers' chances to win attractive rewards through the ongoing Mega Million 2.0 Campaign, where 100 lucky customers stand a chance to win a portion of RM250,000 in cash. Furthermore, by subscribing to Takaful Kasih Plus Merdeka Edition and combining it with AgroPrimaS deposit products under the Mega Million 2.0 Campaign, customers will receive additional participation points, which increase their chances of winning the monthly draw of a car or the grand prize of a Ford Ranger Raptor. In conjunction with the National Farmers, Breeders and Fishermen's Day 2025 at the Sabah International Convention Centre, customers who subscribe to the Takaful Kasih Plus Merdeka Edition Card have the opportunity to win attractive prizes through lucky draws on August 2 and 3.
