PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak will call ex-Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng as a key defence witness in his ongoing 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial, his lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah confirmed.
A man walks past a banner for automotive parts provider Bosch outside the National Exhibition and Convention Center, venue for the upcoming 21st Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition, in Shanghai on April 21, 2025. — AFPMore than 70 Chinese and international automotive brands will showcase more than 100 new or refreshed models at the Shanghai auto show this week, intensifying already cutthroat competition in the world's premier market for electric vehicles and hybrids.
The Chinese electric sport sedan struck a cement pole and caught fire, killing three people, shortly after the driver tried to take over from the car's assisted-driving system. BYD, the nation's leading EV-and-hybrid maker, supercharged the competition in developing such systems after announcing in February it would offer its"God's Eye" driver-assistance system as free standard equipment across its lineup, including in entry-level models costing as little as about US$10,000 .
That prompted Tesla to halt a limited-time free trial of its"Full Self Driving" software in China, which despite its name is not fully autonomous. Days later, it also dropped FSD from the name, calling it"intelligent assisted driving" instead. But its press conferences will now focus instead on showcasing hybrid models and battery technology, Zeekr said.Regulatory challenges aside, China's"new energy vehicle" sector – including fully electric models and a wide variety of gasoline-electric hybrids – continues its historic sales surge.
