IslamiCruise International Sdn Bhd is proud to announce the Signing Ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between IslamiCruise International and appointed ACLA (Aroya Cruise Link Agents), alongside the Official Launch of the 3D2N AROYA Cruise Package from Port Klang to Langkawi.
These appointed ACLA agents will act as the official sales link for AROYA Cruises, and will be allocated cabins to promote and sell various packages in support of 100% halal cruising with NO alcohol and NO gambling also known as a worry-free cruise from a Shariah perspective.
The 3D2N Muslim-friendly cruise will depart Port Klang on 30 January 2026 and return on 1 February 2026. This initiative supports the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign by the Ministry of Tourism, and is expected to attract both local and international tourists to explore Malaysia via cruise.
As a continuation of voyages by IslamiCruise International Sdn Bhd, this 3-day 2-night package is introduced as a golden opportunity for both local and international travellers who may have missed Series 1.0 (Jeddah to Port Klang) and Series 2.0 (Port Klang to Jeddah). It offers a chance to experience the unique atmosphere and luxury of Islamic cruising aboard AROYA, in a shorter and more accessible format.
This MOU also introduces ACLA agents as part of IslamiCruise International’s effort to make luxury cruising more accessible, offering prices starting from RM597.

Hospital Picaso Introduces Revolutionary Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) and Electrochemotherapy Treatments for Prostate, Liver and Pancreatic Cancers
Prostate, pancreatic and liver cancers remain among the most pressing health challenges in Malaysia, with late-stage diagnoses continuing to impact patient outcomes. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting Malaysian men, with many cases detected only at advanced stages. Liver cancer is also one of the most common cancers among Malaysians, while pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest due to late detection and limited treatment options.
Hospital Picaso – a dedicated centre of excellence for advanced surgery and integrated oncology – is responding to these challenges with next-generation treatment options. It is the leading hospital in Malaysia to offer Irreversible Electroporation (IRE), a non-thermal ablation technique that targets cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. This innovation represents a significant advancement in prostate cancer care, giving patients more precise options with fewer long-term complications.
“This technique gives us a targeted way to treat prostate cancer, while reducing damage to surrounding structures,” said Dato’ Dr Loh Chit Sin, Consultant Urologist at Hospital Picaso. This treatment can help patients to retain urinary continence and preserve erectile dysfunction. These outcomes address two of the biggest concerns men face - maintaining quality of life while seeking effective care.”
Known as Irreversible Electroporation (IRE), this technique utilises high-voltage electrical pulses to destroy cancer cells without the use of heat. This method allows treatment near delicate structures, such as nerves, ducts and blood vessels, making it suitable for tumours in the prostate as well as liver, pancreas and kidneys. It reflects a more personalised approach to cancer care that supports both survival and post-treatment wellbeing.
Building on this advancement, Hospital Picaso is also introducing the Electrochemotherapy (ECT), further expanding its interventional oncology capabilities. ECT combines short electrical pulses with localised chemotherapy to enhance drug absorption directly into tumour cells. It is particularly effective for difficult-to-access or previously unresponsive tumours in the liver and pancreas. By concentrating treatment where it’s needed most, while limiting systemic side effects, ECT offers new hope to patients with limited options.
New technologies are expanding what’s possible - but early detection is still key to better outcomes.
“When we detect prostate, pancreatic or liver cancer early, we’re able to offer options that are less invasive and more targeted,” said Dr Loh. “With techniques like Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) and Electrochemotherapy, we’re not just treating the disease - we’re giving patients more control over their treatment journey.”
At Hospital Picaso, these innovations represent more than medical advancement. They mark a shift in how cancer care is delivered - giving patients better options, making treatments more precise and helping people live more fully during and after recovery.

Daikin Malaysia and Selangor FC Extend Strategic Partnership for Third Year, Reinforcing Shared Values in Sports and Sustainability
Daikin Malaysia today marked the third consecutive year of its strategic partnership with Selangor Football Club (SFC), renewing its commitment as Platinum Sponsor in a signing ceremony graced by His Highness DYTM Raja Muda Selangor Tengku Amir Shah Ibni Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj. The event underscored shared values of unity, team spirit, innovation, and community wellness.
The renewal reflects a deepening relationship between one of the world’s leading air conditioning brands and one of Malaysia’s most storied football clubs, built on a common vision to uplift communities through football while driving innovation and sustainability.
In his remarks, His Highness Tengku Amir Shah expressed his deep appreciation for Daikin’s unwavering trust and commitment: “Daikin stands here not merely as a corporate sponsor, but as a true partner in purpose – a partner who has chosen to invest in dreams, nurture talent, and uplift communities through football.”
His Highness highlighted how Daikin’s support has contributed significantly to Selangor FC’s resurgence, including qualifying for the AFC Champions League 2 in the first year of the partnership after an eight-year absence, and creating history by defeating Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC – one of Asia’s football giants – for the first time in fifty years. With Daikin’s support, Selangor FC also secured second place in the Malaysia Super League for two consecutive seasons, ensuring consistent qualification for Asian competitions.
Chief Operating Officer of Daikin Malaysia, Mr. Toshiharu Tsurumaru, said: “This renewal is not just a continuation of our support, but a reaffirmation of our long-term commitment to values that matter deeply to us, which are unity, team spirit, and a healthy lifestyle.”
Daikin’s involvement with Selangor FC aligns with its broader corporate philosophy of enriching communities and building long-term relationships. Supporting football, a sport rooted in teamwork, resilience, and passion, mirrors the very principles Daikin upholds within its culture of innovation and shared purpose.
“We believe that investing in local sports is a meaningful way to give back to the community and to stand in unity with the people of this great state,” Mr. Toshiharu Tsurumaru added.
Beyond achievements on the pitch, Daikin and Selangor FC have jointly implemented impactful community programmes. Most recently, during Ramadan, Daikin played a key role in Selangor FC’s Cahaya Ramadan: 30 Rumah 30 Harapan initiative, providing essential aid to 30 underprivileged families across Selangor, reflecting Daikin’s broader humanitarian efforts and its commitment to compassion and solidarity.
Mr. Toshiharu Tsurumaru further shared Daikin’s vision for sustainability and affordability: “At Daikin, our core principles go beyond producing world-class air conditioning systems. We believe in contributing to the well-being of communities, creating a positive impact, and building lasting relationships. Supporting Selangor FC allows us to do just that – by championing a sport that brings people together, encourages active living, and fosters strong community bonds.”
This third-year collaboration also strengthens Daikin’s platform for community engagement, brand visibility, and environmental advocacy. Under the theme “Cooling the Future, Powering A Sustainable Selangor,” Daikin aims to raise awareness about refrigerant recovery, energy efficiency, and sustainability, connecting with fans in ways that extend beyond conventional marketing.
His Highness commended these efforts: “I would like to commend Daikin’s continuous efforts to remain at the forefront of innovation, by introducing solutions such as POAS that bring affordability, satisfaction, and peace of mind to their customers and the communities they serve. Through POAS, more Selangor FC fans will be able to own and enjoy Daikin’s products and solutions at the comfort of their homes.”
In closing, Tsurumaru expressed appreciation to Selangor FC’s management for their trust and collaboration: “Together, Daikin Malaysia and Selangor FC can achieve more both on and off the field. This is a win-win collaboration that unites sporting passion with corporate purpose.”
The third-year renewal marks another milestone in a growing relationship built on shared values, mutual growth, and a joint vision for a more sustainable, united, and inspiring Selangor.
