KUALA LUMPUR, June 20 (Bernama) -- Kioxia Corporation, a global leader in memory solutions, has introduced a prototype of its new KIOXIA CD9P Series PCIe 5.0 NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs).
Designed to meet the increasing performance demands of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, the drives will also be showcased at HPE Discover 2025, which will be held from June 23 to 26 in Las Vegas.
The CD9P Series is the latest addition to Kioxia’s SSD portfolio and is built using its eighth generation BiCS FLASH triple-level cell (TLC) 3D flash memory, which incorporates CMOS directly Bonded to Array (CBA) technology, a breakthrough that significantly enhances storage density, performance and power efficiency.
In a statement, Kioxia said the new architecture doubles the capacity available per SSD compared with previous generation models, offering better value for data centres by improving both performance and total cost of ownership.
The CD9P Series has been engineered to ensure high throughput and low latency, key factors in supporting graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated servers where consistent data delivery is essential to maintaining GPU utilisation.
The CBA-based design reduces heat generation, improves thermal management, and enhances operational stability, making it well-suited for modern AI and HPC data centres.
Performance metrics for the new drives show significant improvements over their predecessors, with up to a 125 per cent increase in random write, 30 per cent in random read, 20 per cent in sequential read, and 25 per cent in sequential write speeds.
In terms of energy efficiency, the CD9P Series also achieves notable gains. For the 15.36 terabyte model, performance per watt has improved by approximately 60 per cent in sequential read, 45 per cent in sequential write, 55 per cent in random read, and 100 per cent in random write.
These advancements are critical in meeting growing storage requirements as AI-driven data loads become more complex and demanding, while samples of the KIOXIA CD9P Series are currently being provided to select customers for evaluation and feedback.

VISTA EXPLORES SOUTHEAST ASIA’S ULTRA-LUXURY BOOM AT EXCLUSIVE SINGAPORE PANEL
KUALA LUMPUR, June 20 (Bernama) -- Vista, the parent company of VistaJet and XO, has hosted a panel discussion in Singapore to explore shifting lifestyle and investment trends among Southeast Asia’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs).
The invitation-only event gathered speakers from Vista, Knight Frank and Sanlorenzo Asia Pacific, who shared insights into growing demand for premium experiences, private aviation, luxury real estate and superyachts across the region.
Vista Vice President of Marketing for Asia Pacific (APAC) and India, Middle East, and Africa (IMEA), Amy Yang said Singapore remains a top destination among its clients, driven by “bleisure” travel, the blending of business and leisure.
“With infrastructure covering 96 per cent of the world, Vista is well-positioned to meet the needs of mobile, global travellers,” she said in a statement.
In 2024, VistaJet recorded a 10 per cent rise in its memberships in Southeast Asia, while XO saw private flight activity in Singapore double year-on-year.
Vista noted a sharp rise in business jet traffic during major events. The Taylor Swift Eras tour in Singapore triggered a 362 per cent spike, while the Singapore Grand Prix saw a 168 per cent increase. The Singapore Yachting Festival also contributed to a 46 per cent jump over the daily flight average.
Emerging destinations for affluent travellers include Kuching in Malaysia, Da Nang in Vietnam, and Sorong in Indonesia, offering unique eco-, cultural and marine-based experiences. Established favourites like the Maldives, Bali and Phuket continue to see robust interest, especially with Phuket gaining visibility through HBO’s “The White Lotus”.
Knight Frank identified Manila as the fastest-growing prime residential market in 2024, while Malaysia’s property sector remains attractive due to supportive government policies. Bangkok continues to see strong foreign investment, particularly from Chinese buyers.
Meanwhile, according to Sanlorenzo Asia Pacific, the regional superyacht market is expanding rapidly, driven by a new generation of UHNWIs seeking discreet, experiential luxury with long-term value.

GOVERNMENT & INDUSTRIES REINFORCE NEED FOR URGENT DELIVERY OF ENERGY TRANSITION
 |
| (From Left) Dr. Atul Arya, Senior Vice President and Chief Energy Strategist of S&P Global; Dr. Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global and Founder of CERAWeek; and Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik, President & Group CEO of PETRONAS and Chairman of Energy Asia reflect on the three-day conference of Energy Asia 2025. |
KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- Energy Asia by PETRONAS and Knowledge Partner, CERAWeek by S&P Global concluded today with a resounding call for urgent, inclusive and actionable delivery of the energy transition. Over the course of three days, the conference convened more than 4,000 attendees across 60 countries and 38 industries, including policymakers, financiers, technologists and energy professionals.
Leaders from governments and business also acknowledged that while the region has made considerable progress in setting targets and forging partnerships, the focus must now shift decisively toward delivery at speed and scale.
Against the backdrop of intensifying global challenges, leaders reaffirmed that Asia plays a major role in the energy transition. The region’s rising energy demand, economic growth and development needs make it both indispensable and distinct as such, transition strategies must be regionally grounded, prioritising energy access, affordability, and socioeconomic progress.
Notwithstanding, transitions in the developing world and emerging economies must be rooted on access and affordability and cannot come at the expense of energy security and sustainability.
Officiated by the Honourable Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, the conference centred on the theme ‘Delivering Asia’s Energy Transition’. Through more than 50 strategic dialogues, Energy Asia fostered pragmatic, multi-stakeholder collaboration with a shared sense of urgency.
Speaking at the Closing Ceremony, PETRONAS President & Group CEO and Energy Asia Chairman, Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik said, “The objective of Energy Asia 2025 is to address the realities of the energy transition within the context of this region. The perspectives aired over the past three days have successfully highlighted the existing and emerging challenges faced and underscored the imperative to build a resilient energy system. Asia stands firm in our pragmatic and collaborative approach in shaping a just and equitable energy future for more than half of the global population. Beyond the thought leadership that was front and centre at the conference, Energy Asia 2025 also witnessed the formation of numerous new initiatives and partnerships, that are positioned to deliver real outcomes for the region.”
A landmark feature of this year’s conference was the inaugural Energy Asia Global Leadership Executive Forum, a closed-door gathering of over 30 global CEOs and C-suite leaders from energy, finance, technology, and professional services. This high-level dialogue produced alignment on four critical areas of action:
· Sharing of best practices to build resilient energy systems;
· Enhancing project bankability to unlock capital flows and investor confidence;
· Reducing emissions while delivering social impact; and
· Accelerating innovation and adoption of decarbonisation technologies.
In a show of real momentum, Energy Asia 2025 also witnessed the signing of 14 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and the advancement of several high-impact initiatives across technologies, geographies and business models. Notable announcements to support resilience of energy supply include:
· Strategic Cooperation Agreement and Farm-Out Agreements between PETRONAS and TotalEnergies, deepening upstream collaboration in Malaysia.
· Joint Venture Framework Agreement between PETRONAS and Eni to explore a regional upstream joint venture.
· Award of the Temaris Cluster Small Field Asset PSC by PETRONAS, through Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM) to Seascape Energy Asia (One) Sdn Bhd, advancing Malaysia’s upstream development.
· LNG Sale and Purchase Agreement between PETRONAS LNG Ltd. and Commonwealth LNG, strengthening supply diversification through the United States.
· MoU between PETRONAS and JERA to deepen collaboration across the gas value chain, supporting Japan’s energy security and sustainability agenda.
Equally, these announcements have matched by initiatives to support energy transition:
· Launch of Blue Carbon Collective by PETRONAS in collaboration with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team, the University of Sao Paolo and Universiti Putra Malaysia to advance research in mangrove-based carbon capture and storage.
· Launch of PETRONAS Energy Transition Academy (P-ETA) to equip the energy workforce with skills for a low-carbon future.
· Formation of Jules Nautica Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between PETRONAS CCS Ventures, MISC Berhad and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines to own and operate liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO₂) carriers for carbon capture and storage (CCS).
The Energy Park which runs concurrently with the Executive Conference welcomed almost 14,000 visitors, who engaged with the exhibitions on innovation and emerging technologies and cutting-edge solutions from partners and collaborators of Energy Asia.
About Energy Asia
Energy Asia aims to advance the region’s Net-Zero ambitions by bringing together policymakers, industry captains and energy professionals through actionable solutions for a just and responsible energy transition. Spanning three days from 16 to 18 June 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Energy Asia is poised to deliver riveting thought leadership discussions alongside a showcase of cutting-edge technology and solutions.

ZYCUS HORIZON SEA 2025 IN MALAYSIA SPOTLIGHTS AGENTIC AI’S IMPACT ON PROCUREMENT
KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 (Bernama) -- Zycus concluded its flagship Southeast Asia conference, Horizon SEA 2025, on a high note, drawing procurement leaders from Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, India, and the broader Asia Pacific (APAC) and Middle East regions.
Held in April at the Lexis Hibiscus resort in Port Dickson near Kuala Lumpur, the two-day event spotlighted real-world applications of Agentic artificial intelligence (AI), advanced intake orchestration, and strategic transformation across Source-to-Pay (S2P).
In his keynote address, Zycus Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Aatish Dedhia emphasised the seismic shift underway, stating: “Agentic AI is not aspirational—it is operational. Procurement is now poised to lead enterprise transformation through intelligent orchestration and deep data integration.”
According to Zycus in a statement, the event was bolstered by strategic insights from IDC analyst Patrick Reymann, who highlighted the growing importance of intake as procurement’s next value frontier.
Leaders from major regional organisations such as JG Summit, DRB-HICOM, Aboitiz Power, BDO Bank, Telekom Malaysia, Tata Play, and Abdul Latif Jameel brought the narrative to life, sharing how Agentic AI is already reshaping intake, risk management, and stakeholder collaboration.
These discussions were further enriched by fireside chats with thought leaders from PASIA, CIPS, Microsoft, IBM, TCS, and Trustpair, among others—bringing diverse perspectives on the future of S2P.
Interactive sessions included live demonstrations of Zycus’ Merlin Agentic Platform and Merlin Intake Agent, along with working forums such as the AI Council and Key User Advisory Forum.
These were complemented by engaging experiences like beachside receptions, a drone-lit Gala Awards Night, and the launch of CPONext: SEA Edition, a platform celebrating emerging procurement leaders in the region.
The debut of The Merlin Times, a Hackett-led publication focused on Agentic AI, and Zycus’ feature in Procurement Magazine further underscored the event’s emphasis on thought leadership.
From visionary strategy and cutting-edge tech to immersive community-building, Horizon SEA 2025 proved to be a landmark event for the procurement industry, reinforcing Zycus’ commitment to innovation and regional leadership.

| The Well Estate is a joint venture between Borderless Healthcare Group, led by Dr. Wei Siang Yu, and Seveno Capital, led by Allen Law. |
KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 (Bernama) -- Seveno Capital and Borderless Healthcare Group have launched The Well Estate, the world’s first medical wellness real estate company to target the growing US$1.8 trillion global wellness market. (US$1=RM4.23)
According to a statement, the new joint venture between Seveno Capital and Borderless Healthcare Group will focus on asset owners within the ‘wellness archipelago’ of Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia.
Seveno Capital is led by Park Hotel Group founder and healthspan entrepreneur Allen Law while Borderless Healthcare Group is led by global healthcare technology, media, telecommunication, service and content pioneer Dr Wei Siang Yu.
Law said The Well Estate will enable hospitality asset owners to align their business and guest offerings with the global wellness and longevity revolution that will be equally as transformative as artificial intelligence.
Meanwhile, Dr Wei added that The Well Estate sets a new standard for immersive guest experiences that is profitable, purposeful and scalable.
The Well Estate will support hotel and hospitality asset owners to shift from a ‘room yield’ to a ‘room plus’ business model by providing turnkey medical wellness solutions, giving guests live access to health and medical experts as well as famous content creators.
By unlocking new revenue streams and increasing the value of each guest stay, The Well Estate aims to improve asset utilisation, particularly for underused spaces such as gyms and spas, with guests also having access to personalised diets, fitness, yoga, mindfulness and health programmes.
According to the Global Wellness Institute, the global wellness industry was valued at US$5.6 trillion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$8.5 trillion by 2027. The wellness economy is also expected to grow by 8.6 per cent annually through 2027, outpacing global gross domestic product (GDP), while luxury wellness resorts can generate 30 to 50 per cent higher daily rates than traditional hotels.
The initiative comes as hotels are investing heavily to meet this demand and to capture a larger share of this lucrative market; integrating labs, diagnostics, intravenous (IV) drips and longevity hubs into their amenities, positioning themselves at the forefront of the evolving wellness economy.

As the company undertakes a strategic transformation to become an agile and integrated energy company, it will continue delivering safe, reliable and sustainable energy solutions, building on its strengths to remain a competitive upstream player, a dependable global LNG supplier, and to evolve into an energy superstore that provides solutions to lower-carbon intensity energy needs.
This undertaking will require workforce adjustments, with an estimation of 10% reduction of the total workforce. While this is a very difficult decision, it is a necessary one to ensure PETRONAS can continue to grow and serve the nation. PETRONAS is committed to managing this process fairly, objectively, and systematically.
PETRONAS has formed Transition Council and People Development Committees for talent mapping and placement decisions are made collectively guided by structured platforms. This process also follows necessary legal requirements and adopts the required industrial relations practices.
Engagements have been conducted with respective Department of Labour and Department of Industrial Relations under Ministry of Human Resources to ensure the planned implementation meets the statutory requirements.
To support employees affected by this exercise, a comprehensive transition programme has been put in place. Every decision is made with fairness, respect, and professionalism. PETRONAS remains deeply committed to the welfare of its people and will ensure that those impacted are treated with compassion and respect. Impacted employees will receive a market-competitive separation package - one that exceeds minimum statutory requirement.
Beyond financial support, affected employees will also receive:
· Career coaching and job search assistance
· Emotional support services
· Medical Assistance Programme
· Upskilling and reskilling programmes
· Financial planning guidance
The above packages and benefits are structured based on employees’ years of service and may vary depending on employee category and eligibility. In addition, PETRONAS, in collaboration with PERKESO through MyFutureJobs, is exploring placement opportunities for eligible affected employees in other sectors.
PETRONAS is also working closely with various government-linked companies to facilitate potential placements within their organisations. Additionally, the Company’s Entrepreneurship Programme run by PETRONAS Innovation Garage offers a guided pathway into business ownership for those exploring alternative career paths.
This transformation is designed to enhance PETRONAS’ resilience and competitiveness in the face of a challenging energy transition. It also aims to ensure the company remains relevant in a rapidly evolving landscape, while enabling continued growth through focused investments and the development of a high-performing, value-driven workforce.
