CIMB Niaga president director Lani Darmawan. PETALING JAYA: PT Bank CIMB Niaga Tbk (CIMB Niaga) has reported a consolidated profit before tax of 4.4 trillion rupiah or about RM1.13bil for the first half of 2025 (1H25), supported by consistent loan growth, a healthy funding profile, as well as strong capital and liquidity positions. Earnings per share stood at 137.43 rupiah, reflecting solid profitability in a competitive operating environment. 'In 1H25, CIMB Niaga delivered a balanced performance, reflecting the resilience of our strategy and the discipline of our execution,' said Lani Darmawan, the bank's president-director. 'We recorded healthy and prudent loan growth in line with our risk appetite and market dynamics, while maintaining stable asset quality, robust capital and liquidity, and a well-diversified revenue base, all of which reinforce the strength of our franchise,' Lani said. CIMB Niaga is an indirect 91.44% subsidiary of CIMB Group Holdings Bhd . As of June 30, the bank's total consolidated assets reached 357.9 trillion rupiah, solidifying its position as Indonesia's second-largest privately owned bank. Total loans increased by 6.8% year-on-year (y-o-y) to 231.8 trillion rupiah, driven by broad-based growth across key segments. Corporate banking led with a 9.3% increase, while small and medium enterprises expanded by 7.3% and consumer banking grew 4.7%. Within retail lending, auto loans stood out, surging 26.7% y-o-y. At the same time, the lender also reported strong performance on the funding side, as total deposits rose to 261.9 trillion rupiah, an increase of 4.8% y-o-y, while current accounts and savings accounts (Casa) grew by 10.9% to 180.6 trillion rupiah, boosting the Casa ratio to 69%. 'This growth reflects stronger customer relationships and enhanced digital touchpoints,' CIMB Niaga stated. Capital and liquidity indicators remain robust, with a capital adequacy ratio of 24% and a loan-to-deposit ratio of 87.3%, supporting ongoing lending capacity and operational resilience. CIMB Niaga's Islamic banking arm, CIMB Niaga Syariah, retained its position as the largest syariah business unit in Indonesia. As of June, syariah financing reached 59.6 trillion rupiah, up 2.5% y-o-y, largely due to growth in the wholesale and commercial segments. Total third-party deposits under the syariah unit stood at 48.2 trillion rupiah. The bank highlighted its focus on expanding low-cost funding through strategic Islamic partnerships and deeper community engagement. Lani said sustainability also remained a strategic focus for the bank in 1H25.

Claressa Shields unanimously outpoints Lani Daniels, successfully defending heavyweight belts
Claressa Shields unanimously outpointed Lani Daniels on Saturday night, successfully defending all her belts as the first undisputed heavyweight champion in women's boxing. The 30-year-old Claressa, a two-time Olympic champion, improved to 17-0 in front of 15,366 fans at Little Caesars Arena. The 36-year-old Lani, the IBF light heavyweight champion, dropped to 11-3-2. She had won seven in a row. Former super-welterweight champion Tony Harrison beat Edward Diaz of the Dominican Republic by unanimous decision after being knocked down in the ninth round of the 10-round fight. Harrison, who is from Detroit, improved to 30-4-1 in his first fight since losing his belt to Tim Tszyu more than 10 years ago. In the main event, Lani danced and shuffled along the ropes for two rounds to stay away from Claressa, who was patient until unleashing a flurry of combinations late in both rounds. Lani didn't run in the following rounds, and Claressa took advantage with punishing blows to the body and head. Lani fought for the first time outside of her native New Zealand and was not welcomed in the Motor City, where Claressa is a fan favourite. Claressa, elected to the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame on Friday, has revived big-time boxing in Detroit. The city with a rich history in the sport that includes Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson and Thomas Hearns went decades without relevant fights. The Red Wings and Pistons moved into Little Caesars Arena in 2017, but the arena didn't have a boxing card until 2023, when Claressa was the headliner and beat Maricela Cornejo. Claressa was back at Little Caesars Arena last summer, knocking out WBC heavyweight champion Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse in front of about 12,000 fans, and she drew a bigger crowd in her latest Earlier this month, Katie Taylor beat Amanda Serrano for the third time in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 19,000 at Madison Square Garden in New York in the arena's first all-women's card. Claressa won gold medals at 165 pounds at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, making her the first boxer from the United States to win consecutive Olympic medals.

25 Years On, Wilson Finds A New Home
Nadi, Fiji: After 25 years, the world's most famous volleyball, Wilson, has finally been found on the shores of Fiji. In a heartwarming tribute video titled 'Wilson's Happily Ever After', audiences have been reintroduced to one of pop culture's most unlikely and beloved icons, whose story first captured hearts in a classic island survival story filmed in Fiji 25 years ago. Thought to be lost forever, Wilson has been discovered right where his story began, in the place where happiness comes naturally. Imagining what might have happened after floating away into the vast ocean, the film shows Wilson washing up on the sun-kissed sands of Fiji, where he's embraced by the warm and welcoming local community. There, he's discovered by a young Fijian girl, Lani, who brings him into her world and into island life. The tropical island paradise known for its warm, friendly locals has welcomed the volleyball with open arms, showing him the best that Fiji has to offer. The pair is seen biking through the Fijian forests on the retired sugar cane railway tracks, enjoying kava with villagers, kayaking and splashing around in the crystal blue waters, and, of course, Wilson soars through the air in a game of beach volleyball. Tourism Fiji CEO Brent Hill says that the tribute is a celebration of both Wilson's enduring appeal and Fiji's spirit of happiness. 'Wilson's story is one that has stuck with so many for 25 years,' he says. 'He's the volleyball that broke hearts around the world. So when we realised it had been a quarter century since he was last seen drifting out at sea, we thought what better time to give Wilson the ending he deserves? And not only did he survive, he's thriving, making friends, and even playing volleyball again.' 'The short video is a way of giving fans a little closure and celebrating the heart that makes Fiji so special, where Wilson has found his happily ever after, where happiness comes naturally.' The tribute highlights Fiji's growing role in the global screen industry, with a number of productions taking place in the islands over the decades, including The Blue Lagoon with Brooke Shields, and many successful TV series such as Survivor, Love Island and Shipwrecked. Fiji's film sector has become a major contributor to the local economy, employing more than 1,200 locals and collaborating with nearly 300 local businesses, while injecting close to $100 million FJD during the 2023-2024 financial year alone. Beyond its economic impact, Fiji's cinematic appeal is stronger than ever. A 2023 Expedia travel report named set-jetting - v isiting locations featured in film or TV - as a leading driver for consideration amongst travellers, overtaking social media for the first time2. 'Fiji is an incredible filming destination with picturesque backdrops, warm tropical weather, and experiences for a range of different traveller types,' says Hill. 'We're excited to celebrate 25 years since one of the first major productions in Fiji, while continuing to grow the industry and showcase Fiji on the world stage.' The latest film also taps into a long-standing online debate: What happened to Wilson? Over the years, many fans have taken to popular discussion platforms like Reddit to debate theories. One user said, 'The scene still hits me really hard two decades later, so I was wondering', with another adding, 'Definitely a death scene. He is lost to the waves.' Now, these theories are lovingly put to rest with a feel-good happily ever after worthy of Wilson's legendary status. You can check out this video here to see Wilson embracing all Fiji has to offer.

NEED TO KNOW A mom and daughter head out for a routine breakfast, but things don't go as expected A surprising moment between the pair has captured the hearts of millions online The mom opens up about the moment that made her emotional and proud beyond wordsWhen 8-year-old Lani reached across the breakfast table and grabbed the check, her mom, Jenny, was left speechless. In a moment that has now captivated millions on TikTok, a simple family meal turned into a viral celebration of kindness, responsibility and the everyday magic of childhood. Now, the woman behind the viral video is opening up about the daughter who sparked it all. 'She's super outgoing, always making new friends wherever we go, and she's got this infectious sense of humor that lights up any room,' Jenny tells PEOPLE, describing her daughter with unmistakable pride. 'Whether she's cracking jokes or just being her goofy self, she's always making people laugh.' Lani is not just the star of a viral video. She's a whirlwind of energy and curiosity, always eager to learn something new. Her creative streak shines through in everything from drawing and dancing to trying out new sports. 'Our relationship is really fun. We're really close,' Jenny says, reflecting on the adventures they share both in and out of the kitchen, where cooking and baking have become treasured activities. The now-famous TikTok, which Jenny posted with the caption 'Breakfast on Lani today. She definitely shocked the hell out of me,' has sparked a wave of reactions online. The video's text overlay reads, 'I'm wondering why she grabbed the check,' capturing Jenny's genuine surprise at her daughter's thoughtful gesture. 'It was a total surprise!' Jenny admits, recalling the moment with a laugh. 'To be honest, I forgot she even had money put up. I was confused on why she grabbed the check, because in my head I am like 'Girl, why do you care,' but when I saw her pull money out, I was like 'Whaaaaattt.' ' What was meant to be a simple mother-daughter breakfast became something much more. It became a moment that revealed just how much Lani has grown. Jenny says the moment was not only surprising but deeply moving, a testament to the values she's worked hard to nurture in her daughter. 'As her mom, I try to instill values like kindness and confidence in Lani,' Jenny tells PEOPLE. 'I want her to always treat others with respect and empathy, and to believe in herself, no matter what. I think those two qualities are so important as she grows, and I'm proud to see her already living them out in her own way.' The internet has responded with an outpouring of positivity, with viewers praising both Lani's sweet gesture and Jenny's parenting. 'I received a lot of positive responses, such as 'how she is so sweet' and 'mom is doing a great job,' ' Jenny says, her gratitude evident. Of course, the viral spotlight brings its share of scrutiny, too. 'But then there are some negative ones which focus on if the waitress received a tip or not,' she adds, laughing. For Jenny, the experience was far more than a social media moment. It was a powerful reminder of how much her daughter is growing. 'It was emotional for me,' she shares. 'To see Lani pay for breakfast at just 8 years old showed me how far she's come in terms of responsibility and thoughtfulness. More than that, it's a reflection of her kindness. She's always thinking of others, and I'm so proud to see that quality shine through. It made me realize just how much she's growing into a caring and considerate person.' As for Lani, the sudden attention has been both surprising and amusing. 'Lani's actually a bit surprised by all the attention the video's gotten!' Jenny says. 'She's so humble and doesn't quite realize the impact she's had on so many people. But she did think she was TikTok famous for a week.' Jenny hopes that other parents can learn from her experience and encourages them to lead by example. 'Kids really pick up on what they see at home,' she notes. 'I try to model kindness and respect in my own actions, whether it's how I treat others or how I approach challenges.'
