As we welcome the sacred month of Ramadan, followed

by the joyous celebrations of Hari Raya, this season is a

time for reflection, gratitude, and togetherness. March

the strength, resilience, and achievements of women

across the world. In this issue, we bring you a carefully

curated selection of stories and features to elevate

empowerment and tradition.

together. If you're looking to indulge in more exquisite

iftar experiences, we've also rounded up some of the

most luxurious Ramadan buffets at five-star hotels

across Kuala Lumpur.

As Raya approaches, many will embark on the

traditional Balik Kampung journey to reunite with

loved ones. Before you hit the road, flip to our Throttle

section for an insightful look at the differences

between EV and hybrid cars, helping you decide which

electrified vehicle best suits your long trip home.

local celebrations and wish to explore new destinations,

our Travel section offers a guide to the best Muslimfriendly

countries to visit, as well as top golf resorts

tailored for women seeking a relaxing retreat.

Gracing our cover this issue is the ever-inspiring Atilia

Haron—a woman who finds immense joy in sharing

her passion for music, yoga, and cancer advocacy.

She opens up about the impact of her work and how

giving back continues to be her greatest source of

happiness and fulfillment.

Finally, as we prepare our homes for Raya, our Thrive

section introduces sustainable and heartwarming

ways to decorate while embracing childhood games

that bring families closer. Meanwhile, our Health

& Wellness feature provides valuable insights into

endometriosis and the options available, a subject

that many may find both informative and comforting.

Wishing all our readers a Blessed Ramadan and a

Selamat Hari Raya. May this season bring you peace,

Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) was signed in September 2020.

This freehold development offers the best of both worlds

perfectly balancing rich history and modern culture while

providing great connectivity and contemporary living. These

pull-factors attracted many keen buyers and we sold more than

60% of the units within the first 6 months. Within 18 months, we

achieved 100% take-up. Through this successful collaboration

with our partner, Temokin, we are thrilled to celebrate the

timely handover of vacant possession on 7 November 2024.”

Hidden Muslim-friendly

getaways for the ultimate

Ramadan & Eid adventure – You

won’t believe the last one!

As global travel becomes more accessible, Muslim-friendly

destinations are rising in popularity. The halal travel industry is

experiencing rapid growth, with over 140 million Muslim travellers

exploring the world in 2023, up from 114 million in 2019. By 2030,

the industry is projected to exceed a value of MYR1,387.

Many Muslim countries offer exceptional experiences, from

breathtaking architecture to rich Islamic heritage. Below are some

of the best destinations that cater to Muslim travellers with halalfriendly

amenities, vibrant cultures, and unforgettable sights.

Turkey

A captivating blend of East and West, Turkey has long been a

favourite for Muslim travellers. The country’s rich Islamic heritage is

evident in its stunning mosques, UNESCO-listed sites, and vibrant

bazaars. Istanbul, the cultural heart of Turkey, is home to the iconic

Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, and Topkapı Palace.

Beyond the city, visitors can explore Cappadocia’s surreal landscapes,

the Mediterranean beaches of Antalya, or the healing waters of

Pamukkale. Halal-friendly resorts and family-friendly beaches make

Turkey an excellent choice for a relaxing yet enriching holiday.

Saudi Arabia

While Saudi Arabia is best known for Makkah and

Madinah, the country offers so much more beyond

religious pilgrimages. In recent years, Saudi tourism

has expanded significantly, inviting visitors to explore

its vast heritage. The Kingdom is home to several

UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Diriyah,

AlUla, and Jeddah’s historic Al-Balad district. The

world’s largest oasis, Al-Ahsa, is another must-visit

destination. With affordable flights now available,

hidden gems.

Morocco

Morocco’s vibrant culture and stunning landscapes

make it a dream destination for Muslim travellers.

From the bustling souks of Marrakech to the medieval

streets of Fez, the country is a feast for the senses.

The blue-washed town of Chefchaouen offers

picturesque views, while the Sahara Desert provides

unforgettable experiences, including camel trekking

and stargazing. With budget airlines connecting

Europe to Morocco, it remains an affordable and

easily accessible destination. Staying in a traditional

riad—many of which are UNESCO-listed—adds a

unique charm to any visit.

season, offering a unique natural retreat. For those

seeking luxury, halal-friendly resorts such as Anantara

Salalah provide private pool villas in a stunning setting.

SWEET

NOSTALGIA

Traditional childhood games that will

bring the Malaysian spirit to life –

You’ll love #4!

Malaysia is a melting pot of cultures, and along with its diverse heritage comes an

array of traditional childhood games that many of us grew up playing. These games

were the backbone of our childhoods, filled with laughter, friendly competition,

and the occasional argument over who actually won. But with the rise of mobile

games and high-tech entertainment, these classic pastimes are at risk of fading

into obscurity.

Let’s take a walk down memory lane and revisit seven traditional Malaysian childhood

games that deserve to be cherished and passed on to the next generation.

WAU – TRADITIONAL KITE FLYING

Flying wau (traditional kites) wasn’t just a game—it was an art. In the rural areas

of Malaysia, kite-flying was (and still is) a beloved pastime, especially after the

harvest season when the skies would be filled with vibrant, intricate kites soaring

high above the fields. Competitions ranged from seeing which kite could fly the

highest to judging the most beautifully decorated kite.

BATU SEREMBAN – BEFORE GONGGI

Ah, Batu Seremban, or five stones—the game that tested our dexterity and reflexes

long before fidget spinners existed. Traditionally played using small pebbles or

bean-filled cloth bags, this game involves tossing and catching the pieces in

various sequences. Each round increases in difficulty, and only the most skillful

players could complete all the steps without fumbling.

48


CONGKAK – MATH MADE FUN

This game consists of a beautifully carved wooden board with

multiple hollows, filled with small marbles or seeds. Congkak is one

of the most iconic traditional games in the country. Originating from

the Malay word congak (meaning “mental arithmetic”), this game is

about moving your pieces around the board in a calculated manner

while trying to outsmart your opponent.

Clockwise from left:

Congkak; Batu Seremban;

Gasing and Guli

GASING – THE ORIGINAL SPINNING TOP

Before spinning tops became a global phenomenon with Beyblade,

Malaysian kids were already battling it out with their own wooden

tops—better known as gasing. This game requires strength,

precision, and a solid throwing technique with competitions focused

on either the longest-spinning gasing or players aggressively trying

to knock their opponent’s top out of the ring.

GULI – DON’T LOSE YOUR MARBLES

Guli (or marbles) was the game that determined the playground

champions. Armed with a collection of beautifully coloured glass

marbles, players would take turns flicking their own marble at

others in an attempt to knock them out of a drawn circle. The best

part? Winners got to keep the marbles they knocked out, leading to

some serious high-stakes matches.

TROPICANA LIFESTYLE

49

BOTTLE CAPS – STACK ‘EM OR LOSE ‘EM

Ceper, also known as bottle caps, was one of those games that

seemed easy but required serious skill. Players would balance a

stack of five metal bottle caps on their hand, toss them into the air,

and try to catch as many as possible on the back of their hand. The

more caps you caught, the more points you earned, and the game

continued until someone reached the target score.

LET’S NOT FORGET

With smartphones and gaming consoles dominating childhoods

today, these traditional games are at risk of being forgotten.

However, efforts are being made to preserve them—heritage

festivals, cultural organisations, and even digital adaptations have

helped keep the spirit of these games alive.

But at the end of the day, nothing beats the real thing. So, parents,

dust off that congkak board, grab some marbles, and show your

kids the joy of playing games that require nothing more than skill,

wit, and a little friendly competition. Because some traditions?

They’re simply too good to let go.

ATILIA

A Beautiful Havoc of Passion,

Purpose, and Empowerment

Life has a way of leading us down unexpected paths, and for Atilia Haron,

every twist and turn has been a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and

inspiration. The singer, actress, yoga instructor, and entrepreneur wears

many hats, but at the core of it all, she is a woman who embraces every

moment with grace, gratitude, and an unwavering sense of purpose.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

Atilia's foray into yoga was born out of necessity rather than curiosity.

Once a self-proclaimed junk food lover with erratic sleeping habits,

she found herself struggling with her breathing during performances.

Realising she needed a change, she explored various fitness routines,

from running to swimming, but none quite fit. It was yoga, a practice she

initially thought would be easy, that challenged her in ways she never

imagined. More than two decades later, yoga is now her sanctuary, her

passion, and her gift to others.

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO A FLOURISHING

YOGA COMMUNITY

What started as casual yoga sessions at home with

friends quickly evolved into something much bigger.

As her home became too crowded, she rented a small

space and began hiring instructors, only to realise that

it was unsustainable financially. Determined to make

her passion a sustainable profession, she pursued a

200-hour teaching certification. Within a month of

returning to Malaysia, she was teaching, and thus,

Hippie Hub Studio (HHS) was born.

HHS is more than just a yoga studio; it’s a safe haven.

Known for its warm and inclusive atmosphere, it

welcomes everyone, from seasoned yogis to complete

beginners who may spend the entire class in a child’s

pose. Atilia ensures that yoga remains accessible to

all, conducting free community classes (which she

refers to as Karma classes) every Saturday at KLCC

Park—a heartfelt gesture that speaks volumes about

her commitment to giving back.

BALANCING ACT: INSTRUCTOR, BUSINESSWOMAN,

AND PERFORMER

With a career that spans music, acting, and

entrepreneurship, Atilia’s life is a carefully

orchestrated balance of discipline, passion, and, of

course, power naps. A self-proclaimed “professional

napper,” she squeezes in rest whenever she can,

knowing that managing her energy is key to

sustaining her dynamic lifestyle.

Teaching yoga isn’t just a business for her—it’s a

calling. The joy she feels when students share how

their strength and flexibility have improved, or when

an elderly woman tells her she can now pray more

comfortably, fuels her passion even further. Her love for

Ashtanga yoga, with its discipline and perseverance,

mirrors her own journey—one that constantly evolves

but remains rooted in purpose.

Atilia has never strayed

from the spotlight.

Whether it was singing

Negaraku at Formula 1

in front of a worldwide

audience or performing

Musical to thunderous

artistic journey

A STAR WITH A PURPOSE

Despite her thriving yoga career, Atilia has never

strayed from the spotlight. Whether it was singing

Negaraku at Formula 1 in front of a worldwide

audience or performing in P. Ramlee the Musical to

thunderous applause, she treasures every moment

of her artistic journey. Her ability to connect with

people—on stage or on the yoga mat—remains one of

her greatest strengths.

Beyond her career, she is deeply passionate about

advocacy, particularly in breast cancer awareness.

Having witnessed her mother’s battle with cancer and

facing her own health scares, Atilia is a fierce supporter

of early detection and awareness. Her involvement

extends beyond social media, as she actively

participates in events, podcasts, and hospital visits.

The children she met in cancer wards, their innocent

joy despite their struggles, left an indelible mark on

her heart and reinforced her commitment to making

a difference.

EMPOWERED AND EMPOWERING

For Atilia, empowerment means making her own

choices while being surrounded by a supportive

community. Though she naturally leans towards

people-pleasing, standing her ground and asserting

herself is a personal victory that fuels her sense of

empowerment. She believes that women should uplift

one another, seeing each other as sources of inspiration

rather than competition.

Her philosophy on life? Never put off till tomorrow what

can be done today. Proper planning, focus, and a clear

vision keep her grounded. She draws strength from

the incredible women around her, using their resilience

and drive as motivation to keep pushing forward.

A CELEBRATION OF WOMANHOOD

For Atilia, celebrating womanhood is about embracing her

best and healthiest self—inside and out. She believes that

true beauty comes from within and that feeling good on

the inside radiates outward. Despite her many roles, she

has never faced gender discrimination in her industries, a

testament to the progress in equal rights within Malaysia.

Her advice to women? Don’t be envious—be inspired.

Learn from one another, support each other, and

empower each other to be better every day.

through yoga, offering even more free classes to the

community. By 2030, she will be 56, and she dreams

of still being on the mat, guiding others on their

journey of self-discovery and wellness.

A LIFE OF BEAUTIFUL HAVOC

When asked to describe her life in one word, Atilia

chooses havoc—but a beautiful one at that. Every day

brings something new—different people, different

experiences, different roles to play. And she wouldn’t

have it any other way.

LOOKING AHEAD: A LEGACY OF LOVE AND YOGA

As she envisions the future of Hippie Hub Studio,

Atilia hopes to continue teaching and spreading love

In Atilia Haron’s world, chaos is not something to

be feared. It is to be embraced, lived fully, and

turned into something truly beautiful.

SAFE

&

SOUND

The ultimate guide to a

safe and stress-free Balik

Kampung journey

Balik Kampung season is upon us, and as many hit the

road or take to the skies to reunite with loved ones,

ensuring a safe and smooth journey should be at the top

of your checklist. Whether you're driving long distances

or catching a flight, a little preparation goes a long way in

avoiding unnecessary stress and delays.

CAR MAINTENANCE

A well-maintained car significantly reduces the risk of

breakdowns on the highway. If your service is due soon,

take it in early and let your mechanic know you’ll be driving

long distances. Ensure key components such as your tyres,

brakes, engine oil, car battery and air conditioner are in

top condition. You may even check that the windscreen

wipers, car lights, car insurance and road tax and other

emergency essentials are in good working order.

EARLY PREP

For those travelling with children, preparation is key

to a smooth journey. Be sure to pack some snacks

and nourishment, water or milk bottles, fully charged

electronic devices and portable chargers, non-digital

entertainment like books or toys as well as a change of

clothes and cleaning supplies in case of spills or accidents.

Do also take into account travel time and factor in stops

for meals, toilet breaks, prayers, and nappy changes to

avoid unnecessary stress.

74

MARCH/APRIL 2025 TIPS

REST IS BEST

Driver fatigue is a major risk, so ensure you are well-rested before

setting out on a long drive. Avoid driving when drowsy and make

rest stops when needed. Stop at designated areas to stretch,

grab coffee, take a power nap, or switch drivers if possible. A

great tip is to have someone in the co-driver seat to keep you

engaged in conversation and alert throughout the journey.

LITTER BUG

This should go without saying, but littering is both hazardous

and irresponsible. The trash you throw out the window could

pose a danger to others on the road. Keep a trash bag in the

car and dispose of waste properly at designated stops.

TOO COOL TO CARPOOL?

If you have friends or family heading to the same hometown,

carpooling is a great way to reduce travel costs, ease

congestion, and have a co-driver for shared driving duties. It

also makes for a more enjoyable and lively journey.

TAKE TO THE SKIES

If you’re flying home, be at the airport at least three hours

before departure to ensure a hassle-free check-in and

boarding process. Consider the time needed to travel to the

airport, accounting for possible traffic delays. Self-check-in

via your airline’s app, website, or airport kiosks can help save

time and streamline your experience.

CONGESTED HOTSPOTS

If you're heading to busy states like Melaka, Johor, or Penang,

expect not just road congestion but also crowded town

centres and tourist hotspots. Plan any sightseeing or visits in

advance, keeping in mind that school holidays often coincide

with this travel period, making public places even busier.

A smooth balik kampung journey is all about preparation,

patience, and common sense. Travel safely, enjoy the festivities,

and cherish the precious moments with your loved ones.

TOP IT UP

Toll fares are often waived for two days during festive periods,

but if you’re travelling earlier or later, make sure your Touch ’n

Go card has enough balance. Since top-up lanes at toll booths

were removed in 2019, you must reload your card beforehand

to avoid any delays.

AVOID PEAK HOURS

Traffic congestion is inevitable during festive seasons. To avoid

long delays, consider leaving during off-peak hours. If you can

manage an early morning start as early as 3am as you’ll likely

experience much smoother traffic conditions.

ROAD ADVISORIES

Stay informed about road conditions by following useful

accounts such as PLUS Malaysia Berhad, Kementerian Kerja

Raya, Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia and Astro Radio Traffic

or use navigation apps like Waze or Google Maps to check

traffic conditions, roadblocks, and speed limits before and

during your journey.

Whether you want to make your lips pop in high definition or

express yourself with confidence and flair.

Think luscious plums, bold wine reds, and juicy raspberries.

These rich berry tones bring instant drama to lips, eyes, or

a fresh and flirty touch. Effortlessly feminine and oh-soversatile,

it’s the perfect way to add a youthful glow.

PEACHY KEEN

Warm, radiant, and endlessly flattering, peach makeup is

the ultimate blend of soft and sun-kissed. With hints of pink

and orange, it brings a natural, glowing warmth to any look.

From Disney star to

music icon, this is the

story behind Sabrina

Carpentar's rise to fame!

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Sabrina Carpenter, it’s that

she’s not just another former Disney star—she’s a full-blown, chartsmashing,

history-making sensation. From her days of cracking jokes

and winning hearts on Girl Meets World to topping global charts with

Short n’ Sweet, this Pennsylvania-born dynamo has made it clear: she’s

here to stay, and she’s having the time of her life while doing it.

"NONSENSE"

FROM SMALL SCREENS TO STADIUM STAGES

Like many pop princesses before her, Sabrina got her start in the magical

world of Disney. As Maya Hart on Girl Meets World (2014–2017), she

played the sassy, quick-witted best friend—a role that came with a builtin

audience of tweens who adored her rebellious charm. But while other

Disney stars faded into nostalgia, Sabrina had bigger plans.

She even

opened for

The Eras

Tour, fulfilling

a childhood

dream of

sharing the

stage with

Taylor Swift

Her music career took flight in 2014 with the release

of Can’t Blame a Girl for Trying (co-written by Meghan

Trainor, no less). It was a sweet, acoustic pop gem that

gave us a taste of what was to come. Over the next few

years, she built an impressive discography with Eyes Wide

Open (2015), Evolution (2016), and the Singular series

(2018–2019), proving she was far more than just another

actress-turned-singer.

BREAKING RECORDS & WINNING HEARTS

In 2021, Sabrina made a career-defining move, signing with

Island Records and releasing Emails I Can’t Send (2022).

The album gave us viral bops like Nonsense and Feather—

one a cheeky, TikTok-fueled anthem and the other a radio

juggernaut that soared to No. 1 on the Pop Airplay charts.

She even opened for The Eras Tour, fulfilling a childhood

dream of sharing the stage with Taylor Swift. Casual.

And just when you thought she couldn’t top herself, along

came Short n’ Sweet (2024), an album so successful it

rewrote the rulebook. With tracks like Espresso, Please

Please Please, and Taste, she dominated the charts,

became the first woman to hold the No. 1 and No. 2 spots

on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks straight, and

scored six Grammy nominations, taking home two. Oh,

and she also became the first artist in 71 years to spend

20 weeks atop the UK singles chart in a calendar year. No

big deal.

92


Reinventing her look,

the star became known

for her face framing

blonde locks, big eyes

and baby-doll cheeks

BEYOND THE MUSIC

While music is her primary playground, Sabrina’s acting career is

still going strong. From The Hate U Give to Tall Girl and Work It

(which she also executive produced), she’s continued flexing her

on-screen talents. She even made her Broadway debut in Mean

Girls (2020)—talk about range!

And because she loves a good festive moment, she wrapped up

2024 with A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter, a Netflix

holiday special featuring guest appearances from Shania Twain,

Tyla, and Chappell Roan. If there were an award for Most Likely to

Spread Holiday Cheer, she’d win that too.

THE FUTURE IS SWEET

Sabrina Carpenter has officially entered her pop superstar era, and by

the looks of it, she’s just getting started. With a deluxe edition of Short

n’ Sweet on the way, an arena tour in full swing, and the world at her

feet, she’s proving that sometimes, you can have it all.

As she once cheekily reminded us, “Jesus was a carpenter.” And as

far as we’re concerned, this Carpenter is a legend in the making.

and allowing wearers to view time through a cosmic lens.

THE UNIVERSE ON YOUR WRIST

Inspired by the Cupola—the observation dome of the International

Space Station—the BR-03 Astro transforms timekeeping into an

interstellar experience. Its dial mimics the orbits of the Moon

and Mars around Earth, reimagining the traditional way of telling

time. Instead of classic hands, Mars marks the hours, the Moon

tracks the minutes, and a small satellite orbits Earth every 60

seconds, bringing the watch to life.

DESIGN THAT DEFIES GRAVITY

With its deep black ceramic case and a blue aventurine dial

that shimmers like a star-studded sky, the BR-03 Astro is a

work of art as much as a feat of engineering. A spherical cap

sapphire crystal magnifies the Earth in relief, adding depth

and realism to the design. Precision remains at the core of

this timepiece, powered by the Swiss automatic mechanical

movement BR.CAL-327, offering a 54-hour power reserve.

A TRIBUTE TO SPACE EXPLORATION

More than just a watch, the BR-03 Astro is a collector’s piece

for those captivated by the mysteries of the universe. Whether

you’re an astronomy enthusiast, a space dreamer, or simply

someone who appreciates fine craftsmanship, this timepiece

is an invitation to explore the cosmos—one second at a time.

It may start as seemingly harmless pelvic pain, period cramps,

or discomfort during bowel movements. For many women, these

symptoms are dismissed as “typical menstrual discomfort”—a

monthly inconvenience to endure. But what happens when that

discomfort becomes unbearable, disrupting daily routines, work

deadlines, and social plans? For 1 in 10 women worldwide, this is the

reality of endometriosis—a chronic condition that doesn’t just cause

pain but also steals precious time, opportunities, and joy.

Globally, endometriosis affects an estimated 190 million women,

and in Malaysia, over 300,000 women are believed to be living

with this condition. However, the true number is likely much higher,

concealed by underdiagnosis and the stigma surrounding menstrual

health. Despite its prevalence, endometriosis remains a hushed

conversation, leaving many to endure their pain in isolation.

HOLISTIC ENDOMETRIOSIS CARE WORKSHOP MARKS A NEW

CHAPTER IN WOMEN’S HEALTH

Envision a place where women no longer face their struggles

alone—where expert care and genuine support pave the way for

healing and hope. That vision became a reality with the launch of

Endo Care @ Thomson. Marking this milestone was the Holistic

Endometriosis Care Workshop, a collaborative event with MyEndosis

(Endometriosis Association of Malaysia). Held on February 8, 2025,

at Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara, the event brought together

women, healthcare professionals, and advocates to give a voice to

those who have long suffered in silence.

and Endometriosis Surgeon;

Thomson Fertility; Mrs Surita

Mogan, President of MyEndosis

The workshop began with insightful talks from a distinguished

panel of specialists, including Prof. Dr. Prasanna Supramaniam, a

consultant gynaecologist and endometriosis surgeon, Dr. Khairun

Marina, a fertility specialist, and Dato’ Dr. Hamzah, a consultant

cardiothoracic surgeon.

While endometriosis is commonly associated with reproductive

challenges, its impact can extend far beyond. In some cases, it

104


invades organs like the lungs and diaphragm, leading to

sudden lung collapse, internal bleeding, and severe breathing

difficulties. This condition, known as Thoracic Endometriosis

Syndrome (TES), is often misdiagnosed, leaving many

women to endure their pain in silence.

Dato’ Dr. Hamzah highlighted the critical need for early

diagnosis and a tailored approach: “Endometriosis isn’t

just a gynecological issue—it’s a systemic condition that

demands a multidisciplinary response. With minimally

invasive surgery and post-operative hormonal therapy, we

can prevent recurrence and significantly improve quality of

life. Early intervention is key to ending unnecessary suffering

and giving women the care, they deserve.”

EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH KNOWLEDGE AND

CONNECTION

The breakout sessions were equally impactful, offering

attendees expert guidance, emotional support, and

practical tools in a well-rounded experience. Through

intimate conversations with specialists, participants had

the opportunity to ask questions and receive personalised

advice tailored to their unique challenges. Meanwhile, the

Sisterhood Circle, led by Mrs. Surita Mogan, President of

MyEndosis Club, provided a safe and nurturing space for

women to share their stories, express their pain, and connect

with others who truly understand their struggles. This sense

of community and solidarity served as a powerful reminder

that they are not alone in their journey.

The session took a hands-on turn as the skilled

physiotherapists, Mrs. Dina Katarina Olid and Mrs. Evodie

Paul demonstrated a series of exercises specifically designed

to alleviate pelvic pain and improve mobility for women with

endometriosis. Participants were then invited to try these

exercises themselves, with the physiotherapists offering

personalized guidance. This interactive approach allowed

attendees to not only learn the exercises but also practice

them correctly under expert supervision. By the end of the

session, participants left feeling empowered, equipped with

practical tools to take control of their pain and improve their

quality of life.

ENDO CARE @ THOMSON: A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO CARE

Recognising the need for greater awareness and education

about endometriosis, Endo Care @ Thomson was established

as a dedicated space for specialised care. Inspired by the

renowned Oxford Endometriosis Centre, it aspires to become

a leading referral hub for endometriosis treatment in Malaysia.

Oxford-trained Prof. Dr. Prasanna Supramaniam emphasised the

initiative’s multidisciplinary, patient-centric approach, stating:

“Endometriosis is a complex condition that requires a holistic

and tailored approach. Through Endo Care @ Thomson, we

ensure women receive the right diagnosis and care plan,

improving their overall well-being and fertility outcomes.”

The initiative offers:

• Advanced diagnostics for accurate detection.

• Comprehensive treatment options, including medical,

surgical, and fertility-related interventions.

• Multidisciplinary expertise, with collaboration from urologists,

colorectal surgeons, and cardiothoracic surgeons.

physiotherapy plans.

Endometriosis is a multifaceted condition that often requires

more than just gynecological care. It can affect multiple

systems in the body, including the urinary tract, bowels,

and even the thoracic cavity. This is why a multidisciplinary

approach is critical. By bringing together experts from various

fields, Endo Care @ Thomson ensures that every aspect of a

woman’s health is addressed, providing comprehensive and

personalised care.

Lakshmi Menon, CEO of Thomson Fertility, highlighted

this commitment: “At Thomson Fertility, we are dedicated

to empowering women with knowledge and access

to specialised care. Endo Care @ Thomson represents

THE

BETTER

WAY

Electric vs Hybrid:

The ultimate

showdown – which

ride will rule your

road in 2025?

Two leading

contenders

in the realm

of electrified

mobility—electric

vehicles (EVs)

and hybrid cars

118

MARCH/APRIL 2025 THROTTLE

The evolution of automotive technology has brought with it an

ever-expanding range of choices, particularly with the rise of

electrification. For consumers, this represents an exciting but

complex decision-making process. Where once the focus was

on engine size and fuel efficiency, today’s buyers must navigate

considerations such as battery capacity, charging infrastructure,

and electric motor performance.

With a great variety in EV

cars and Hybrid vehicles,

choose one that best suits

your lifestyle and budget

Two leading contenders in the realm of electrified mobility—electric

vehicles (EVs) and hybrid cars—each present unique advantages.

Their suitability depends largely on individual driving habits, lifestyle,

and infrastructure accessibility. Understanding these differences is

crucial to making an informed choice.

THE APPEAL OF HYBRID CARS

Hybrid vehicles are often regarded as the ideal bridge between

traditional internal combustion engines and full electrification. By

integrating a petrol or diesel engine with one or more electric motors,

hybrids offer a balanced blend of fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and

practical usability. The electric motor assists in propulsion, recaptures

energy through regenerative braking, and, in some cases, enables

short bursts of electric-only driving.

120


Most hybrids primarily rely on their internal combustion engine,

using the electric motor as a supplement rather than a standalone

power source. This allows them to achieve better fuel economy while

maintaining the convenience of conventional refuelling. Furthermore,

because hybrid batteries are smaller than those in EVs, their

environmental impact during production is lower. However, they still

depend on fossil fuels, which limits their sustainability compared to

fully electric alternatives.

A notable variation within this category is the plug-in hybrid electric

vehicle (PHEV). These models feature a larger battery capacity and

an external charging port, enabling extended electric-only driving

before the internal combustion engine is required. PHEVs provide

an attractive compromise for those who wish to experience electric

driving while retaining the reassurance of a traditional engine for

longer journeys.

THE CASE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EVS)

Electric vehicles, or battery-electric vehicles represent the pinnacle

of zero-emission driving. Powered exclusively by batteries, EVs

must be recharged via an external power source. By eliminating the

internal combustion engine, they offer a cleaner, quieter, and often

more exhilarating driving experience.

TROPICANA LIFESTYLE

121

Many vehicle brands

have luxurious modern

and futuristic concept

cars that could be the

vehicles of tomorrow

122


The primary environmental benefit of EVs is their total

absence of tailpipe emissions. Additionally, they significantly

reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions, although the

sustainability of an EV is influenced by the source of the

electricity used for charging. If powered by renewable

sources such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric energy, EVs

become an even more environmentally conscious choice.

Furthermore, as global electricity grids continue to

transition towards greener energy, EVs inherently become

more sustainable over time.

From a technical perspective, EVs have fewer moving parts

compared to conventional vehicles, translating into lower

maintenance requirements. Their instant torque delivery

ensures brisk acceleration, making them not only efficient

but also highly responsive. Additionally, their near-silent

operation and smooth ride contribute to a refined and

premium driving experience.

That said, EVs are not without challenges. Their battery

packs are significantly larger and heavier than those of

hybrids, which can impact vehicle weight distribution and

road wear. Moreover, EV owners do not currently contribute

to road maintenance through fuel taxes, a consideration

that may influence future policy changes. Another concern

is battery longevity and replacement costs; however, most

manufacturers offer warranties of at least eight years or

100,000 miles, with some extending even further.

The environmental implications of battery production also

merit attention. The extraction of raw materials such as

lithium, cobalt, and nickel involves resource-intensive mining

practices. Nevertheless, advances in battery recycling and

alternative materials are steadily improving the sustainability

of EV production.

WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

For those intrigued by the prospect of electric driving but hesitant

to go all-in, hybrids—particularly PHEVs—offer an excellent

transitional option. They provide the flexibility of a conventional

fuel engine while enabling drivers to embrace electric power for

shorter commutes. This is particularly beneficial for individuals

without easy access to charging infrastructure or those who

frequently undertake long-distance journeys.

Conversely, for those prepared to commit to full electrification,

the expanding selection of EVs caters to both efficiencyconscious

and performance-driven buyers. While navigating

this shift can feel overwhelming, the continuous advancements

in charging networks and battery technology ensure that the

future of electric mobility is more accessible than ever.

As the automotive landscape continues to evolve, the decision

between a hybrid and an electric vehicle ultimately hinges on

individual needs, lifestyle, and environmental priorities. With

an array of compelling options available, there has never been

a better time to explore the possibilities of electrified driving.

into unique home accessories. Repurpose them into cushion covers or ketupat-inspired woven

placemats, infusing your home with a nostalgic yet innovative charm. Fresh potted plants also

add vibrancy and freshness, bringing a little bit of nature indoors.

CREATIVE KETUPAT CRAFTING

No Hari Raya celebration is complete without the presence of ketupat, the woven rice dumpling

that symbolises unity and tradition. Why not take it a step further by crafting ketupat decorations?

If you’re handy with paper quilting, create mini ketupat ornaments to hang around the house.

You can also use colourful ribbons to weave larger decorative ketupat that can be placed on

tables or even hung as a garland along staircases and walls. This charming DIY project is a fun

activity to do with family and children.

A GLOW OF WARMTH WITH LIGHT AND LANTERNS

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood for festive

celebrations. Traditionally, homes were illuminated with ‘lampu

pelita’ (oil lamps), but modern homes can achieve a similar warm

glow with safer alternatives. Consider using battery-operated fairy

lights, Moroccan-style lanterns, or even DIY candle holders made

from repurposed glass jars. Decorate them with intricate patterns

and metallic hues to create a magical, enchanting atmosphere.

A HOME FULL OF JOY AND CELEBRATION

Hari Raya is more than just a celebration—it’s a time to create

cherished memories with loved ones. As you decorate your home, let

the process be filled with laughter, love, and creativity. Whether it’s

through traditional touches, contemporary designs, or sustainable

upcycling, the key is to create a space that feels inviting and joyful

for family and guests alike.

May your home be filled with warmth, light, and happiness this Hari

Raya. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all celebrating!
