THE Chinese Honqi car brand was formally introduced to the market a couple of weeks ago and it was quite impressive. The showroom is in the high class area of Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and covers some 1,000 square meters of space. The launch was pretty impressive with a marching band and uniformed people introducing the cars as it paraded along the streets of BGC. It was reminiscent of a Chinese military parade, but that is not a surprise. The Honqi brand is China's very first foray into building cars.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 (Bernama) -- Berjaya Food Bhd's (BFood) net profit slipped to RM103.41 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2023 (FY2023) from RM124.78 million a year earlier. However, revenue for the period increased to RM1.12 billion from RM997.76 million previously, mainly due to the aggressive marketing campaigns and effective promotion strategies in the current financial year under review, as well as the additional stores operating in Malaysia. Higher operating costs resulting from inflationary pressures and the unfavourable foreign exchange rate against the US dollar affected its bottomline, a filing with Bursa Malaysia said today.
