Lebih 1,000 Kenderaan Milik Warga Malaysia Terkandas di Hat Yai

Lebih 1,000 kenderaan rakyat Malaysia dipercayai terperangkap di Hat Yai, ekoran banjir teruk yang melanda bandar itu sejak 22 November 2025.

Ketika ditemuramah oleh Berita Harian, Pengerusi Pasukan Bomba Sukarela Sungai Petani (PBS), Leong Beng Tat, menyatakan antara 1,200 hingga 1,500 kenderaan terperangkap dalam banjir tersebut, termasuk motosikal dan kereta yang tenggelam di tempat letak kereta bawah tanah hotel.

Usaha pemulihan terbantut sekatan yang menghalang lori tunda Malaysia memasuki kawasan terjejas.

“Lori tunda Malaysia tidak dibenarkan masuk. Jadi kenderaan terpaksa ditunda lori tunda Thailand sehingga ke sempadan sebelum kami ambil alih,” kata Leong seperti dilaporkan akhbar nasional itu.

Beliau berkata sekatan itu memaksa sesetengah pemilik mengatur tunda sendiri di Thailand, kerana banyak polisi insurans tidak melindungi kejadian di luar negara. Ada juga yang berserah meninggalkan kenderaan mereka kerana kerosakan teruk.

Leong menyatakan pasukannya menerima banyak mesej terima kasih daripada rakyat Malaysia yang diselamatkan sewaktu operasi. Sebanyak 23 pasukan penyelamat sukarela Malaysia dikerahkan membantu mangsa banjir.

“Ramai yang meluahkan rasa syukur. Semua yang kami selamatkan kemudian memberitahu mereka selamat pulang ke rumah,” katanya.

Air banjir di Hat Yai, tambahnya, lambat surut kerana kawasan itu berada di tanah rendah.

Leong juga mengimbau insiden melibatkan mesej palsu yang mendakwa seorang pelancong Malaysia maut.

“Kami terpaksa ketepikan kerja lain untuk mencari, tetapi apabila tiba, tiada kes sedemikian. Menyebabkan hati kecil apabila orang menyebarkan cerita ini,” ujarnya.

Operasi penyelamatan itu sendiri jauh daripada mudah.

“Dua bot kami terbalik akibat arus deras,” kata Leong.

“Kami mempertaruhkan nyawa untuk sampai kepada mereka, tetapi ada yang masih menghantar mesej mengelirukan harapan diselamatkan dahulu.”

Beliau berkata semua mangsa yang mereka temui berada dalam keadaan baik dan jelas lega melihat pasukan penyelamat Malaysia di lokasi.

“Mereka gembira melihat kami di sana, dan bangga dengan usaha yang kami lakukan,” tambahnya. – The Malay Mail

More than 1,000 Malaysian Vehicles Stranded in Hat Yai

More than 1,000 Malaysian vehicles are believed to be stranded in Hat Yai, following a severe flood which submerged the city from 22nd November 2025.

Speaking to Berita Harian, Leong Beng Tat, chair of the Sungai Petani Volunteer Firefighting Team (PBS), said between 1,200 and 1,500 vehicles were caught in the floods, including motorcycles and cars submerged in hotel basement car parks.

Recovery efforts have been hampered by restrictions that prevent Malaysian tow trucks from entering the affected areas.

“Malaysian tow trucks simply aren’t allowed in. So the vehicles have to be moved by Thai tow trucks up to the border before we can take over,” Leong said, as reported by the national daily.

He said the restrictions has left some owners to arrange their own towing in Thailand, as many insurance policies do not cover incidents abroad. There are also those who have resigned themselves to abandoning their vehicles due to extensive damage.

Leong said his team had received numerous messages of thanks from Malaysians who were rescued during the operation. A total of 23 Malaysian volunteer rescue teams were deployed to assist those trapped by the floods.

“Many expressed their gratitude. Everyone we rescued later told us they had made it home safely,” he said.

Floodwaters in Hat Yai, he added, have been slow to recede because the area sits on low ground.

Leong also recalled an incident involving a false message that claimed a Malaysian tourist had died.

“We had to drop other work and go searching, but when we arrived, there was no such case. It’s disheartening when people circulate these stories,” he said.

The rescue operation itself was far from straightforward.

“Two of our boats capsized due to strong currents,” Leong said.

“We risked our lives to reach people, but some still sent misleading messages hoping to be rescued first.”

He said all the victims they eventually reached were in good condition and visibly relieved to see Malaysian rescuers on the ground.

“They were glad to see us there, and proud of the effort we put in,” he added. – The Malay Mail

Skuter Pengembara Voge SR450X Didedahkan

Sebuah lagi pengeluar bakal menyertai (atau mengancam) segmen skuter pengembara, iaitu Voge, selepas mereka melancarkan Voge SR450X.

Skuter kembara kini bukan sahaja mendapat sambutan hebat di Malaysia, malah telah menjadi fenomena di seluruh dunia. Revolusi ini dimulakan oleh Honda X-ADV, diikuti oleh ADV350 dan ADV160. Kini beberapa pengeluar sudah memilikinya: Zontes, SYM, Keeway, Aveta, Moda. Malah Aprilia turut menyertai gelanggang dengan memperkenalkan SR GT 400 di EICMA.

Namun, dapat dilihat dengan jelas bahawa pertarungan sebenar berada dalam segmen 300cc-400cc.

Walaupun memiliki profil sisi yang mirip dengan Zontes 368G, model Voge mempunyai ciri rekabentuk yang berbeza di bahagian hadapan dengan lampu utamanya yang disusun secara bertindan.

Tidak seperti pesaingnya, model Voge ini dikuasakan oleh enjin dua silinder 398cc sejukan cecair dan suntikan bahan api, yang menghasilkan 41.5 hp pada 8,000 rpm dan tork 43.9 Nm pada 5,750 rpm. Berdasarkan torknya yang lebih tinggi, adalah jelas di sini bahawa Voge memposisikan SR450X sebagai skuter yang lebih cenderung untuk off-road.

Namun, kenyataan media mereka menyatakan sebaliknya: “skuter serba boleh yang direka untuk perjalanan harian bandar dan penunggaan kembara” dan melaksanakan tugas seperti “menelusuri kesesakan lalu lintas bandar, perjalanan hujung minggu yang panjang, atau sedikit laluan lasak”.

Ciri-ciri lain termasuk roda berlidi dengan tayar tanpa tiub, palang perlindungan logam, rak bagasi aluminium, pencahayaan LED penuh, dan ruang penyimpanan di bawah tempat duduk yang besar yang muat sehingga dua helmet. Ia juga mempunyai sistem penghidup tanpa kunci, dan petak sarung tangan yang boleh dikunci. Terdapat empat pemijak kaki boleh lipat juga, seperti Zontes 368G.

Casisnya dilengkapi fork terbalik, penyerap hentakan belakang KYB boleh laras, dan kaliper brek depan J.Juan.

Anda boleh yakin sepenuhnya bahawa MForce Bike Holdings akan membawanya ke Malaysia.

2026 Voge SR450X Debuts

Another manufacturer is set to join (or spoil) the adventure party, namely Voge, after they launched the Voge SR450X.

The adventure scooter has found great following not in Malaysia, apparently, as it has become a phenomenon the world over. The revolution was started by the Honda X-ADV, which was followed by the ADV350 and ADV160. Now several makers has one: Zontes, SYM, Keeway, Aveta, Moda. Even Aprilia is joining the fray by unveiling the SR GT 400 at EICMA.

But it can be seen clearly that the real fight is in the 300cc-400cc segment.

Although having a side profile similar to that of the Zontes 368G, the Voge entry has a different design language up front with its stacked main lights.

Unlike the competition, the Voge model is powered by a 398cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected twin-cylinder engine, which produces 41.5 hp at 8,000 rpm and 43.9 Nm of torque at 5,750 rpm. Judging by being more torquey, it is apparent here that Voge is positioning the SR450X as an off-road-biased scooter.

Their press release says differently, though: “a versatile scooter designed for both urban commuting and adventure riding” and performing tasks such as “navigating city traffic, long weekend rides, or even a touch of off-road”.

Other highlights include tubeless spoked wheels, metal crash bars, an aluminium luggage rack, full LED lighting, and large underseat storage that can fit up to two helmets. It also features keyless ignition, and a lockable glove box. There are four foldable footpegs, too, like the Zontes 368G.

The chassis gets upside-down forks, adjustable KYB rear shock absorbers, and J.Juan front brake calipers.

You can bet your bottom dollar that MForce Bike Holdings will be bringing it to Malaysia.

Topi Keledar Shoei GT-Air 3 Smart Helmet dengan HUD Diperkenalkan

Menunggang motosikal membangkitkan banyak sensasi, dan salah satunya adalah seperti berterbang kerana kita tidak terkongkong dalam ‘sangkar.’ Oleh itu, kita sentiasa tertanya-tanya mengapa motosikal tidak mempunyai paparan Heads Up Display (HUD) seperti dalam pesawat pejuang. Helmet Pintar Shoei GT-Air 3 dengan HUD baru sahaja diperkenalkan untuk tujuan itu.

HUD dalam pesawat pejuang, beberapa pesawat komersial (dan sesetengah kereta mewah) memaparkan maklumat penting seperti hala, kelajuan, ketinggian, dan sudut kecondongan pada sekeping kaca untuk membolehkan pandangan pengguna kekal ke hadapan tanpa perlu kerap melihat ke bawah untuk mencari maklumat.

Ini mungkin satu perkara yang bagus untuk penunggang motosikal juga, terutamanya ketika menunggang di jalan berliku atau laju di lebuh raya. Kami tidak memandang ringan perkara ini, lebih-lebih lagi motosikal masa kini, termasuk yang berkapasiti kecil, sudah dilengkapi skrin LCD dan TFT yang mempunyai banyak ciri seperti navigasi, pengstrim muzik, dan sambungan telefon. Bayangkan jika anda perlu menoleh ke bawah untuk melihat siapa yang menghubungi ketika menghampiri kawasan gaung atau persimpangan jalan.

Namun, mata manusia hanya boleh fokus pada objek samada dekat atau jauh pada satu-satu masa, bukan kedua-duanya sekali. Jadi, timbul kebimbangan sama ada data yang dipaparkan melalui HUD dalam helmet juga boleh mengganggu tumpuan. Satu gambar yang dikeluarkan oleh Shoei menunjukkan data dipaparkan pada jarak “jauh”, tetapi kami hanya boleh pastikan selepas mencuba helmet tersebut. Malah, rakan kerjasama Shoei dalam projek ini, EyeLights, mendakwa teknologi mereka meningkatkan masa tindak balas sehingga 32 peratus.

Sudah banyak helmet yang menjanjikan teknologi sedemikian pada masa lalu, termasuk Skully yang akhirnya terbongkar sebagai skim yang mengelirukan pelabur. Shoei juga pernah melancarkan helmet “pintar” yang lain beberapa tahun lalu, tetapi ia dilengkapi dengan aksesori yang janggal. Kali ini, Helmet Pintar Shoei GT-Air 3 lebih halus dan kelihatan seperti helmet harian biasa.

Syarikat itu mendedahkan helmet tersebut di EICMA, dengan menggabungkan teknologi EyeLights ke dalam salah satu helmet GT-Air 3 mereka. Oleh itu, helmet ini kukuh, selesa, dan mematuhi piawaian DOT dan ECE 22.06.

Dalam teknologi ini terdapat sistem komunikasi yang membolehkan anda memberikan arahan suara (seperti yang sudah boleh dilakukan dalam beberapa sistem komunikasi) dan menggunakan sistem interkom ‘sejagat’ yang dilaporkan serasi dengan kebanyakan jenama lain.

Masih belum ada pengumuman mengenai bila Helmet Pintar GT-Air 3 ini akan dijual, tetapi apabila ia dilancarkan, harganya dilaporkan sekitar €1,199 (RM5,713.00).

Shoei GT-Air 3 Smart Helmet with HUD Introduced

Riding a motorcycle elicits many emotions, and one of them is like flying almost in a pure sense since we are enclosed in a cage. Therefore, we have always wondered by motorcycles do not have Head Up Displays (HUD) like in a fighter jet. The Shoei GT-Air 3 Smart Helmet with HUD has just been introduced for that.

The HUD in fighter jets, some commercial airliners, (and expensive cars) project important information such as heading, speed, altitude, bank angle onto a piece of glass to keeps the pilot’s eyes up through the front of the plane without needing to look down and search for the data all the time.

This may be a great thing for motorcyclists, too, especially when riding on a twisty road or hurtling down a highway. We do not take this lightly, especially that contemporary motorcycles, even small capacity ones now feature LCD and TFT screens that are loaded with so many features such as navigation, music streaming, and phone connectivity. Imagine glancing down to see who is calling when approaching a ravine or road intersection.

However, the human eyes can only focus on objects that are either near or far at any one time, rather than both, thus there is concern whether the data displayed via HUD in a helmet could also prove to be distracting. A picture releasd by Shoei shows that data is superimposed in “far” distance, but we can only be sure if we tried the helmet. Indeed, Shoei’s collaborator in the project, EyeLights, claimed that their technology increases reaction time by up to 32 percent.

There have been many helmets that promise such a technology in the past, including one infamous Skully. Shoei had also debuted another “smart” helmet several years ago, but it came with unwieldy attachments. This time, the Shoei GT-Air 3 Smart Helmet is more refined and appears similar to our regular everyday helmet.

The company unveiled the helmet at EICMA, incorporating EyeLights’ technology into one of its GT-Air 3 helmets. As such, the helmet is robust, comfortable, and meets both DOT and ECE 22.06 standards.

Within the technology is a communications system that allows you to issue voice commands (as is already possible on a number of comms systems) and make use of a ‘universal’ intercom system that is reportedly compatible with most other brands.

There is no word yet as to when the so-called GT-Air 3 Smart Helmet will go on sale, but when it does it will reportedly come with a price tag of €1,199 (RM5,713.00).

VOGE DS800X Rally Motosikal Adventure Paling Popular di UK

VOGE DS800X Rally telah meraih kemenangan besar dalam pasaran motosikal UK dengan menjadi model penerokaan (adventure) 750cc-1000cc terlaris pada bulan Oktober.

Menurut laman berasaskan UK, Visordown, para pengedar VOGE sudah tidak dapat menampung pesanan untuk model lebih besar DS900X, dan justeru, DS800X Rally turut terbukti popular. Lebih mengagumkan lagi, walaupun model tersebut hanya tiba di UK pada bulan Ogos, ia telah membantu meningkatkan jualan VOGE sebanyak 165% berbanding Oktober 2024.

Tambahan pula, lonjakan jualan VOGE bulan lalu berlaku dalam keadaan pasaran motosikal UK secara keseluruhan mencatatkan penurunan sebanyak 9%.

Kejayaan VOGE ini juga menyaksikan jenama itu mendaki tangga bahagian pasaran ke tangga ketujuh.

VOGE telah menjadi pemain utama dalam segmen motosikal penerokaan (adventure) selama beberapa tahun di UK, terutamanya disebabkan model DS900X mereka yang menggunakan enjin yang sama dengan BMW F 900 GS.

VOGE merupakan jenama dalaman premium milik Loncin Holdings yang berpusat di Chongqing, yang telah bekerjasama dengan BMW selama hampir 20 tahun. Loncin telah membina beberapa model motosikal BMW termasuk model semasa F 900 R, F 900 XR, dan F 900 GS. Loncin juga pernah menghasilkan enjin untuk skuter siri BMW C dan model F 750, F 800, F 850.

VOGE diedarkan oleh MForce Bike Holdings Sdn. Bhd. di Malaysia. DS800X dijadualkan dilancarkan di Malaysia pada tahun 2026.

VOGE DS800X Rally Claims Adventure Motorcycle Sales Scalp in UK

The VOGE DS800X Rally has scored a major win in the UK motorcycle market, by becoming the best-selling 750cc-1000cc adventure model in October.

According to UK-based Visordown, Voge dealerships already could not keep up with the orders for the bigger DS900X, and as such, the DS800X Rally turned out to be popular, too. It is even more impressive to see that although the latter model had only arrived in the UK in August, it had helped to push VOGE’s sales up by 165% compared to October 2024.

Additionally, VOGE’s sales surge last month was amidst a 9% drop in the overall UK motorcycle market.

VOGE’s success has also seen the brand climb the market share ladder to seventh place.

VOGE has been a major player in the adventure motorcycle segment for a few years in the UK, mainly due to their DS900X, which uses the same engine as the BMW F 900 GS.

VOGE is the high-end in-house brand of Chongqing-based Loncin Holdings, which has had a partnership with BMW for roughly 20 years, building a number of its bikes, including the current F 900 R, F 900 XR, and F 900 GS. Loncin also used to make the engines for the BMW C-series scooters and F 750, F 800, F 850.

VOGE is distributed by MForce Bike Holdings Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia. The DS800X is set to be launched in Malaysia in 2026.
