New Mercedes S-Class

Written by Rano Iskandar on . Posted in Social News

Jati Transport Sdn Bhd has launched the New generation of the world’s bestselling luxury sedan: The new S-Class at Mercedes-Benz Autohaus yesterday. Invited guests were given an exclusive private tour to the new S-Class.




The S-Class stands for the fascination of Mercedes-Benz: legendary and traditional engineering expertise defines the luxury segment in the automobile industry. The new S-Class can be experienced with almost all senses — vision, touch, hearing, and smell — and also offers numerous innovations that provide driver support, protection and interaction, for example. The Driving Assistance Package and the MBUX infotainment system with the “Hey Mercedes” voice assistant come with many new functions, and both are integrated as standard. The large central display in portrait orientation is the visual highlight in the interior.









The most important features at a glance:

  • At the touch of a button, the new 3D driver display provides real depth perception of the surroundings for the first time, thanks to eye-tracking.
  • Active ambient lighting with around 250 LEDs is integrated into the driver assistance systems and can visually reinforce their warnings. Furthermore, the lighting can provide feedback acknowledging control inputs or “Hey Mercedes” commands
  • The adaptive MULTIBEAM LED headlamps illuminate the road for you according to the situation, providing excellent visibility. This is because the headlamps react to the current traffic situation with the aid of individually controllable LEDs.
  • Flush-fitting, illuminated door handles in conjunction with KEYLESS GO blend in perfectly with the silhouette and reduce wind resistance.



The Recap

His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa‘adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam attended the graduation of the Green Beret of His Royal Highness 920 Major (U) Prince ‘Abdul Mateen in the United Kingdom today. Congratulations Duli Tuanku. What’s next? 😀 

The much talked about Omicron is much of bigger news than Delta. It already has announced that it has touched down in Malaysia, our neighbouring country as well as Singapore. Still early days to know the full effects of the latest variant. Perhaps the traveling borders might be put on hold for a while.

Aifa Sdn Bhd (Audiomarc) recently held its lucky draw at their residence where it was attended by His Excellency Kim Soung Eun, the Korean Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam. Also present were Dr. Andy Lau Sie Chuong, Managing Director of Aifa Sdn Bhd and Mrs. Lily Ngo, the Chief Financial Officer of Aifa Sdn Bhd. His Excellency drew 37 names who are shortlisted for the final draw in mid December. Follow @aifaonlineshopping for their products and services.

After a long wait, the Abode Resort and Spa is now open for bookings. A luxury glamping experience and a perfect getaway from the busy town. I hope to check it out pretty soon, depending on the availability. Do click on image to find out more or visit their instagram @abodebrunei 

One of the talks of the town a week ago where four individuals were caught stealing three luxury cars – 2 Ford Mustang and 1 Ford Raptor. Surprisingly, their ages are 38, 18, 18 and one under-18. I have to salute them for stealing in the wee hours but lacking the after thought of hiding them from the public eye.

Great knowledge shared by Yazid Mahadi, Managing Director of BIBD Securities and Assessment Management on the new Shariah-compliant ESG Fund. I love the fact that it uses Artificial Intelligence in stock selection to remove human biases and error. Do check out Arabesque ESG Fund from BIBD Securities. Follow @bibdsecurities for updates.

Only 90 cents, ladies and gentlemen. Why I say this is because there are many vendors or sellers selling even up to $4 each for the vaccination book. The lowest I know is around $2. So do check out @samimabrunei for updates and visit their stores. They have better quality lamination cover too. 

Hmmmmm…. Thanks to my tennis gang for introducing this. I know I suck at Counter Strike but I was a huge fan of the defunct Doom and Quake (PC) back in the 90s. And now I am trying on COD Mobile 😀 Other games I play on mobile are Word with Friends, Football Manager 2022 and DLS 2021. 

This is finally the missing jigsaw puzzle in Manchester United’s journey to be on top once again. It will be interesting to see if this would work, knowing how the management has much say on and off the field. The last two games for Manchester United have been great, considering the poor run of form before the sacking of the legendary Ole. 

Have you downloaded Progresif Media app on your devices? Do watch @iwanttobefemes series and see how “influencers” also have their version of mid-life crisis. The final episode will be released next Wednesday. Well done to the director, writers, the cast and all involved in the project. Season 2, perhaps?

Soon, pretty soon, I will be joining as a member of Peak Club (formerly known as Peak Performance). One reason for joining is the newly renovated tennis court (now 2 courts instead of 1) and they have other things to offer such as the gym, badminton court, swimming pool, the functional gym (overlooking the fairway) and a few more. Check out @peakbn for updates or click on the image to find out more.
