Absen A25 Series Brings 3D Panda to KL’s Golden Triangle

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 August 2025 – Absen has transformed the McDonald’s intersection in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle into a global digital landmark with its A25 series outdoor giant screen and a groundbreaking naked-eye 3D panda animation. The first project in Absen’s Global 20 Super Landmark Cases Plan, it marks a milestone in company’s 20-year global journey, merging cutting-edge display tech with creative storytelling to turn one of Asia’s busiest hubs into an international destination for digital art and public engagement. Picture: Giant Screen in the Golden Triangle of KL Located near the Petronas Towers, the site draws over 500,000 pedestrians daily. To stand out, Absen partnered with a Spanish visual design team to create an immersive narrative: a giant panda peeks from behind curtain, slips while reaching for bamboo, floats in zero gravity, and is pulled into a swirling vortex—before “I Love KL” appears and the panda lands playfully, sparking cheers and social sharing. Each scene breaks screen boundary, delivering powerful visual impact with strong viral potential. “Malaysians have a natural affection for pandas,” said Sophia, Absen’s Malaysia Outdoor Advertising Manager. “This isn’t just advertising—it’s an urban-scale interactive experience that makes the screen part of city’s collective memory.” Built for high-traffic, high-challenge urban environments, the A25 features IP66 full-sealing and a five-layer waterproof interface, ensuring reliability in high heat, humidity, and monsoon rains. Its advanced power-saving technology reduces energy consumption by over 50% compared to conventional displays, saving up to USD 200,000 in electricity over five years for a 300㎡ screen—dramatically lowering total cost of ownership. A client representative said: “We chose Absen for efficiency, durability, and image quality. But more importantly, it helps us create something iconic—not just another ad. With 3D storytelling and custom pandas, we make it fun, not boring.” Since launching its first overseas screen in Saudi Arabia in 2005, Absen has deployed over 2 million displays worldwide. “We make low power consumption a core focus of our R&D,” said Shaun, Absen VP & R&D Director. “The A25 redefines the ‘low-carbon landmark’ — energy-smart, reliable, and city-activating. Backed by a 10-year warranty, it sets a new standard for outdoor displays.” As the first of 20 global landmarks, the Kuala Lumpur project embodies Absen’s vision: where technology, creativity, and urban culture converge to shape future of public spaces.

Sime Darby Property Plans Loan To Develop Google’s Malaysian Data Centre

Sime Darby Property Bhd is in discussions with several banks to secure a loan of up to RM3 billion (US$714 million) to finance the construction of a state-of-the-art data centre that will be leased to Google, sources familiar with the matter revealed. The proposed loan is expected to have a five-year tenure with an option to extend for up to two additional years. Negotiations are still ongoing, and terms may be subject to change. Sime Darby Property has yet to issue an official statement on the matter. Part of one of Malaysia’s largest multinational groups, Sime Darby Property is accelerating its push into the data centre sector to meet the surging demand driven by artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. The global AI boom has spurred a wave of record-breaking financing deals for data centre operators across Asia. Earlier this year, Bain Capital-owned Bridge Data Centres secured a US$2.8 billion loan for its Malaysian operations, underscoring the country’s rising prominence as a regional data hub. Google announced in 2024 that it would build its new Malaysian data centre at Sime Darby’s Elmina Business Park, located near Kuala Lumpur, as part of a US$2 billion investment to strengthen its cloud and AI infrastructure in Southeast Asia.

SafetySam Unveils WORKSafe Greta Safety Boot

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 August 2025 – SafetySam, Singapore’s provider of safety solutions and workwear, is proud to announce a new product launch—the WORKSafe Greta Safety Boot. Born from Craftsmanship, Built for the Field Known as “Generally Resistant Enough To Anything”, the Greta boot is a rugged innovation designed for industrial professionals who rely on their footwear every day. The new product launch demonstrates the blend of traditional leather craftsmanship with cutting-edge safety performance. After the success of its sneaker-style WORKSafe Starfire, SafetySam sought to create something more timeless. Inspired by classic leather boots and the designer’s own appreciation for Goodyear-welted construction, Greta was developed to meet a clear gap in the Singapore market: a durable, stylish, and functional safety boot that doesn’t compromise in wet or high-intensity work environments. “Cemented and injection-moulded soles just don’t cut it in our humid climate,” said Jeffrey Seah, General Manager at PDS International. “We needed a boot that wouldn’t split, would age well, and still meet the demands of modern workers.” What Sets Greta Apart Greta is certified to EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 and SS513:2005. It has been field-tested and endorsed by workers across construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and logistics sectors. The new product launch introduces a range of features to deliver protection, performance, and durability. Goodyear-Welted Construction for water resistance and long-lasting durability (WR). Natural Latex Outsole with superior grip and hot contact resistance (HRO). Free Lacing System for quick on-and-off without sacrificing style. Metatarsal Impact Gel Guard (M) to shield the top of the foot. Penetration-Resistant Sole (PS) that’s non-metallic yet highly protective. Antistatic Protection (A) to guard against electrostatic discharge. Energy Absorption Heel (E) and PU/PE insole for fatigue-free comfort over long shifts. HBR lining is a waterproof, breathable membrane that contributes to the overall shoe achieving S7S compliance. Who Is Greta For? The new product launch targets the following groups: Construction and Civil Engineering – where falling objects and heavy impacts are daily risks. Oil and Gas / Marine – where exposure to fluids, heat, and slippery surfaces is constant. Heavy Manufacturing – where hot metals, debris, and rough terrain challenge every step. Logistics and Warehousing – where long hours on concrete demand both comfort and support. The Story Behind the Boot: Greta and the Wild West As with all great WORKSafe products, Greta is brought to life through SafetySam’s original comic series. This time, Sam is thrust into a Wild West multiverse—a tribute to the rugged origins of leather boots. There, he combines old-world techniques with modern safety innovations, mirroring the real-world development process behind Greta. “The Wild West aesthetic captures the spirit of Greta—gritty, independent, and ready for anything,” as revealed by Crystal Heng, Marketing Manager at PDS International. “It’s a fun, narrative-driven way to express the soul of the product.” The comic not only reflects the journey of a boot but also conveys a belief: workwear can be both legendary and practical. Authentic Launch, Real Connections The product launch is in line with SafetySam’s long-standing community—those who’ve supported the brand’s evolution from the ground up. The campaign now expands across digital platforms, social media, and storytelling content designed to resonate with both seasoned tradespeople and a new generation of users. Notably, SafetySam is actively exploring partnerships. It is seeking content creators, industrial influencers, and distributors who share the same appreciation for quality craftsmanship and purpose-driven gear.
