The All-New Galaxy Z Series 5G Unfolds to Bring the Future of Mobile Experiences to Malaysia

Samsung Malaysia Electronics has today entered the next chapter of foldable devices with the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G via the New Era, Life Opens Up with Galaxy virtual show. Hosted by Jin Lim and Yaya Zahir, the show commemorated the third generation of Foldables alongside other star-studded hosts and well-esteemed designers to reiterate the importance of local collaborations during this time of recovery. Following this announcement, special promotions for the mentioned devices and accessories will also be held from mid-September to end-November.

"The past year brought an unexpected change to the world and positioned technology as the only bridge between many individuals and their daily functions,” said Edward Han, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics. “As an industry leader pioneering foldable technology, Samsung believes this moment requires a different approach – one where our devices work to empower our activities through an ecosystem built on flexibility, openness, intuition, and innovation.”

Experience Productivity Like Never Before

Productivity is one of the main focus areas of every Samsung user’s expectation. With the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G, Samsung understands the need to get more done, in less time, and continues to push the limits of innovation with a variety of new features, including the addition of S Pen[1] to the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G for the first time ever. 

“Despite the work-from-home period, an actor’s schedule remains packed with meetings for upcoming projects,” said celebrity Alif Satar. “What was once a stressful process with notes spread out all over my workspace has now become streamlined thanks to the Galaxy Z Fold3 5Gs app continuity and emphasis on being an all-encompassing smart device. It’s quickly become my companion of choice to strike off daily tasks.”

Technology That Elevates Your Style

Self-expression and creative freedom are equally important to Samsung users. In resonance, Samsung is keen to empower their expression through the Galaxy Z Flip3 5Gs bold colour options and sleek look.

Artist, poet, and fashion darling Daiyan Trisha said “The Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is BOLD & Unique. I feel it was designed for me, a person who loves style and fashion. It is light but packed with innovative functions. Taking photos is easy with Flex Mode[2], allowing you to be free while exploring more angles!”

Top Notch Durability for Better Peace Of Mind

Above all, Samsung users expect devices that are built to last. That’s why this generation of the Galaxy Z Series 5G is built with unrivalled craftsmanship to deliver that satisfaction. For the first time in foldable smartphone history, the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Z Flip3 5G are equipped with IPX8[3]-standard water resistant parts to protect from spills. Samsung also equipped these devices with Armor Aluminum and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus to create the one of the toughest Foldables to date.

“Having owned fragile devices in the past, it’s nice to finally have a device without the anxieties of needing to be overtly gentle with them. I usually carry my phone in the same bag as my keys and yet, not one scratch!” said actor Dini Schatzmann who was present at the virtual show.

Shopee rolls out company-wide staff vaccination programme to protect employees and shoppers

In a bid to further its commitment in the fight against Covid-19, Shopee announced today that it is participating in the private sector vaccination programme with the aim to have its employees fully vaccinated against the virus.

Shopee revealed that it has prioritised its frontliners from its logistics arm, Shopee Express, as well as teams working in the warehouses as they face the highest risk and have the most potential interaction with shoppers. 

An employee from Shopee’s logistic arm, Shopee Express successfully received his first dose of vaccine at the RiVAC vaccination centre in Mid Valley 

Commenting on this initiative, Terence Pang, Chief Operating Officer at Shopee said, “Our employees are the backbone of the organisation. Their safety, together with that of our users, is our utmost priority especially as the pandemic continues to affect the lives of Malaysians. We seek to safeguard the health and well-being of our people better against Covid-19 through this exercise, whilst contributing to the nation’s goal of achieving herd immunity.”

Terence Pang, Chief Operating Officer at Shopee

This measure is also part of Shopee’s reassurance to its users for a better and safer online shopping experience as reliance on e-commerce deepens. Pang shared, “This effort is even more important as we ramp up towards the year-end shopping season, which has always been a highlight for the people and businesses in the country. We want to do our part to help everyone shop with a peace of mind and to help local businesses sell with greater ease and certainty. 9.9 marks the start of the shopping season and I hope that by making buying and selling safer, we can bring smiles to more Malaysians.”

This commitment comes ahead of the e-commerce platform’s flagship 9.9 Super Shopping Day which is the first of its four end-of-year shopping festivals.

The upcoming 9.9 Super Shopping Day, which will take place from 20 August leading up to the peak day on 9 September, also has something in-store for all its users. Shoppers can look forward to claiming Free Shipping and 99% Coins Cashback vouchers, both with no minimum spend.  Above all, users can also stand a chance to win a brand new Mercedes-Benz by participating in the Play & Win Mercedes-Benz game by collecting golden tickets daily.

With 25 August just around the corner, Shopee will also be holding its August 25 Payday Sale which will feature RM25 Knockout Deals where shoppers can get items such as Samsung Galaxy A12, Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, Armaggeddon Shuttle II Premium PU Leather Ultimate Gaming Chair and more for just RM25.

Aside from the employee vaccination programme, Shopee has been championing the fight against the pandemic since the onset of Covid-19.

#ShopeeAjakVaksin voucher packs being distributed at the UiTM Puncak Alam Mega PPV 

It allocated 1 million Shopee voucher packs worth RM40 each through the #ShopeeAjakVaksin campaign to reward Covid-19 vaccine recipients at selected vaccination centres across the country to encourage the public to stick to their vaccination appointments. Last year, together with the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), Shopee raised about RM1 million in a public donation drive to support the nation’s medical frontliners.

#ShopeeAjakVaksin voucher packs being distributed at the UiTM Puncak Alam Mega PPV 

On the business community front, Pang stated that the e-commerce platform introduced a RM15 million Shopee Seller Support Package in April 2020 to help traditional businesses who were facing cash flow problems due to the lockdown. “Following which, we introduced a Shopee Marketplace Growth Package providing benefits of up to RM1,600 in store vouchers and advertising credit to help existing Shopee sellers grow on the platform. Both initiatives not only drove digitalisation of local MSMEs but also cushioned the adverse impact of the pandemic on their businesses.”

He added that on top of this, Shopee supported consumers with additional free shipping vouchers through its “Stay Home, Stay Safe” campaign to give Malaysians access to essential items such as fresh and frozen groceries, cooking ingredients, beverages, snacks and cereals, milk formula, diapers, personal care products, household essentials, pet food and work-from-home equipment online.
