    HI Mobility's yellow-colored ferry passengers between Malaysia's Johor Bahru and Singapore, ... [+] considered the world's busiest land crossing.Courtesy of HI MobilityHI Mobilitycontrolled by Malaysian oil and gas tycoon Lim Han Wengis raising 115.9 million ringgit ($26.3 million) from its IPO to add electric buses to its fleet as the company gears up for increased cross-border traffic at the causeway between Malaysia and Singapore.Under the IPO, HI Mobility is selling 95 million new shares (equivalent to about 19% of the companys enlarged issued shares) at 1.22 ringgit each, valuing the company at 610 million ringgit. Trading on the Malaysian bourse will start on March 28.Proceeds from the IPO will help fund the companys fleet expansion, comprising the purchase of 55 new buses, of which 10 will be electric buses, as well as buildout of the companys electric vehicle charging infrastructure.What sets us apart from other bus service operators in Malaysia is that we also provide the Johor Bahru-Singapore cross-border bus service, Lim Chern Chuen, executive director and CEO of HI Mobility, said in a statement. The Johor-Singapore causeway is considered the worlds busiest land border with over 300,000 people passing through the immigration checkpoint daily.HI Mobility is well-positioned to capture increased economic activity in Johor as the area is being jointly developed by Malaysia and Singapore as a special economic zone. Connectivity and mobility are key enablers of economic development, which HI Mobility has been providing based on its 23-year operating track record, said Michael Oh-Lau, CEO of Maybank Investment, the IPOs sole underwriter.The company, which also provides bus services in Melaka and Klang Valley, has an existing fleet of over 550 buses ferrying three million commuters per month. Its net profit increased 73% to 34.6 million ringgit in 2024, according to HI Mobilitys IPO prospectus.HI Mobility will be the third publicly listed company owned by tycoon Lim Han Weng, who is also the controlling shareholder of oil and gas service providers Yinson Holdings and ICON Offshore.Lim and wife Bah Kim Lian, cofounded Yinson Holdings in 1984 as a transport and trading business.

  • UFC 313: Veteran Retires In The Octagon After Loss Thats It For Me
    www.forbes.com
    Jalin Turner Retires (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCLosing in mixed martial arts is different than in almost every other sport.Sometimes you get knocked out. Other times, you get out-fought, the judges dont see it your way, or you get submitted.The latter happened to Jalin Turner on Saturday night on the main card of UFC 313, and he wasted no time deciding to walk away from the sport.LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 08: (L-R) Jalin Turner congratulates Ignacio Bahamondes of Chile on his ... [+] win in a lightweight fight during the UFC 313 event at T-Mobile Arena on March 08, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCTurner came out firing shots in the first minute of his anticipated clash with Ignacio Bahamondes before a body clash led to a takedown.Turner landed on top, and he was aggressively looking to land elbows.Bahamondes didnt just defend the strikes well; he ultimately wound up locking Turner in a triangle choke to win the fight by submission. Here is a look at the finish that also earned Bahamondes a Performance of the Night bonus.After the official decision was being read, you could hear Turner say on the broadcast, Thats it for me, as he congratulated Bahamondes on his performance. Bahamondes and others attempted to talk Turner out of it, but he seemed to have made his decision.As he left the Octagon, longtime MMA journalist John Morgan spoke to Turner, who confirmed what we could hear of his conversation in the Octagon.During an interview with Sportsnets Aaron Bronsteter, Turner tearfully confirmed he was going to retire again.During the post-UFC 313 presser, UFC President Dana White said someone had talked Turner out of retiring, but that info didnt make it to any outlets, so its unclear if that is the case.Turner is just 29 years old, but he is definitely in a tough patch. The loss to Bahamondes was his second defeat in a row and his fourth in his last five fights.Turners record is now 14-9.Would it be a shock to see him reverse course and return to the Octagon? However, if he has been contemplating this for nearly a year, his heart may not be in it. And thats a dangerous place to be in combat sports.Bahamondes is headed in the opposite direction. The win should land him in the Top 15 next week and he was reportedly considering calling out veteran Renato Moicano during the post-fight presser. That fight would be a logical next step for Bahamondes as he ascends up the 155-pound ladder. Dont be surprised if hes favored to win that fightif it is signed.Here is a look at all of the results from UFC 313.Main CardLight Heavyweight Championship Bout: Magomed Ankalaev def.

  • Ukraine already had an Abrams tank problem. Now, it's only going to get worse.
    www.businessinsider.com
    2025-03-09T08:49:01Z Read in app An M1 Abrams tank in service with the Ukrainian military fires its cannon in the Kursk region. Ukrainian Ministry of Defense/Screengrab This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now.Have an account? The US has sent Ukraine a small number of powerful M1 Abrams tanks.These tanks are being used in combat, though they and other armored vehicles are taking damage.A Ukrainian lawmaker said Trump's pause on military aid will make it harder to repair them.KYIV, Ukraine President Donald Trump's decision this week to stop the flow of military aid to Ukraine could be a serious blow to Kyiv's arsenal of US-made Abrams tanks and other US-made combat vehicles.Ukraine was already facing a shortage of Abrams tanks, and Trump's move to stop arms shipments which includes the supply of crucial spare parts will only exacerbate the problem. Kyiv won't be able to keep tanks in working order or repair ones damaged in combat. The US has also ceased sharing some critical intelligence with Ukraine.Serhiy Rakhmanin, a member of Ukraine's parliamentary committee on national security, defense, and intelligence, said Ukrainian forces operating inside Russia, specifically in its western Kursk region, rely on a significant number of American armored vehicles.These include Abrams tanks, Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and Stryker armored personnel carriers, Rakhmanin told Business Insider in Kyiv."Some sustain damage but remain operational," he said through a translator. "However, repairing them is difficult because the US has provided very few spare parts. Now, there will be none at all." The Abrams is one of only a few Western-provided tanks that Ukraine is fielding. 47th Mechanized Brigade via Telegram "This means that while we have the equipment, we may be unable to use it due to maintenance constraints. This is not about new supplies but about sustaining existing equipment," Rakhmanin added.The US sent 31 M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in the fall of 2023. The following summer, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that this number wouldn't be enough to make a difference on the battlefield, which has been the case. The Abrams features a powerful gas turbine engine and has a reputation for requiring more maintenance than other tanks.By contrast, the Biden administration sent over 300 Bradleys, more than 400 Strykers, and hundreds of other armored vehicles to Kyiv.Complicating matters is the fact Ukraine has also received Germany's Leopard 2 and Britain's Challenger 2 tanks, which each require their own spare parts.The Australian government said in October that it planned to send nearly 50 of its aging M1A1 Abranks tanks to Ukraine, a move that would more than double the size of Kyiv's existing inventory. The Abrams is an aging tank but can still deliver a tremendous amount of combat strength. US Army photo by Spc. Christian Carrillo Still, it's unclear when those additional tanks might arrive, meaning that Ukraine has had to be somewhat conservative with its limited number of Abrams.A lack of spare parts will only increase the risk. According to Oryx, an open-source intelligence site that tracks war losses on both sides, at least 19 of Ukraine's Abrams have been damaged or destroyed. BI is unable to independently verify these figures.For much of the war, it had been the US policy that when American-provided military equipment suffered damage in Ukraine, it would be transported out of the country to NATO soil, like Poland. This, however, is a timely process.Rakhmanin said the US has always had a strict policy about allowing its military hardware to be repaired inside Ukraine, which will only get worse under the Trump administration."This leads to absurd situations," Rakhmanin said. "For example, we might have a tank that is fully operational except for a small missing part. We cannot manufacture it because we lack the blueprints and authorization. We also do not have the necessary expertise to produce such components independently." Ukraine has received significantly more Bradley fighting vehicles than Abrams tanks. Anadolu "As a result, the tank sits idle in a parking lot while we wait for months to receive the spare part," he added.He said the US could allow European countries to buy and send spare parts to Ukraine, but it's unclear if this will be authorized. If it isn't, Kyiv will have to cannibalize more equipment by stripping parts from one vehicle to keep another working.The US decision to pause the flow of military aid to Ukraine earlier in the week was the first in three major moves aimed at curbing support to Kyiv following an explosive meeting where Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated Zelenskyy at the White House days prior.On Friday, Trump told reporters who asked about his decision to stop US arms shipments that "I want to know they [Ukraine] want to settle and I don't know they want to settle." He said he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is open to ending the war.The Trump administration's intelligence stoppage deprives its partner of crucial warning signs for its air defenses and for its efforts to defend its territory, as the White House adds more pressure on Zelenskyy to sign a deal that gives Washington revenue from Ukraine's natural resources.

  • I paid $41,500 to build an ADU office in my backyard. It's allowed us to keep living comfortably in a smaller home.
    www.businessinsider.com
    2025-03-09T08:30:01Z Read in app Justin Mauldin and his wife and children. Courtesy of Justin Mauldin This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now.Have an account? Justin Mauldin built an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, in his Austin backyard for $41,500.Mauldin said the ADU office allows his family of four to live comfortably in a smaller home.The ADU also boosted his home's property value, according to his real-estate agent.This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Justin Mauldin, 40, who built an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, in his Austin backyard. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.I'm the founder and CEO of Salient, a PR agency that partners with tech startups.By 2019, before the COVID-19 outbreak, my team had already shifted to a mostly remote setup, with many freelancers working from home or shared office spaces like WeWork. My wife and I decided to make the most of our property and build a dedicated home office.Our property is within Austin city limits. We live on a quarter-acre lot with a relatively small main house of about 1,200 square feet. At the time, our large backyard was undeveloped, with only a small farmhouse shed on the property.We added anaccessory dwelling unitof just under 200 square feet to our backyard. The cost for the ADU was $32,542, which covered the products, shipping, and installation. I believe prices have increased since then, but we were able to take advantage of a sale and a 10% discount at the time. The total cost of the entire project was about $41,500. Justin Mauldin's 200-square-foot accessory dwelling unit, or ADU. Courtesy of Justin Mauldin It's been the best decision we could have made for our property. We purchased our home in 2020 for around $450,000, and its value has definitely increased. When we asked our real-estate agent for an estimate, she said it could be worth $750,000 today. (Editor's note: The median home price in Austin has increased 12.8% since 2020, according to Redfin.)Working from the ADU has been fantastic it's allowed me some quiet time. We have two young children, so I can "go to work" without being in the main house with all the chaos and noise. It's truly been a game changer.The construction process was simple and fastEven though it's separate from the main house, the home office is the most beautiful room on the property everyone who sees it is completely wowed.I went all out with super-tall, dramatic ceilings and a massive wall of windows. We also built a fire pit in front, which has become a real focal point. Mauldin's working space. Courtesy of Justin Mauldin When we decided to build an ADU, COVID made it difficult to get bids, materials, and reliable contractors, so a pre-fabricated option seemed like the best choice. I went with Studio Shed, a Denver-based company that builds the structure in their warehouse and then ships it to be assembled on-site.The process was simple, like building with Lego bricks or designing a car. You pick your model, customize the size, ceilings, and windows, and select your upgrades. You can go as basic or as fancy as you want. It's all done online just like ordering anything on Amazon and you get the price immediately.Before the ADU arrived, I cleared the site and poured the concrete pad, which cost about $1,500. Mauldin's ADU during the construction process. Courtesy of Justin Mauldin When it was delivered, I didn't want them to just drop off the materials and leave me to figure it out, so I paid a few thousand dollars for them to assemble the structure. The walls, windows, and roof were up in just two days.After the structure was assembled, a local handyman and I worked on the finishing details, including installing the flooring, painting, adding door handles, electrical work, and other touches. Since the ADU was too far from the main house to connect to our central AC, I also added a mini-split system that I purchased for $600 and paid about $500 to install.Everything was built and finished quickly. The ADU was delivered on February 1, 2021, and completed by the end of the month.The ADU allowed our family of 4 to live more comfortably in a smaller houseGiven the price of our home, it's clear we're not in a fancy, McMansion-filled neighborhood. Most homes here are 1950s bungalows.When we first moved into our home, instead of following the common trend where people tear down these homes to build new constructions we took the opposite approach.We wanted to preserve the character, so we did a lot of renovations: replacing the siding, repainting, completely redoing the interior, and reworking the landscaping. I think the neighbors really appreciated that. Mauldin runs his company from his home office. Courtesy of Justin Mauldin Still, we have two girls, so a 1,200-square-foot home with just one bathroom can be a challenge, especially when we have visitors.Of course, we'd love a bigger home, but with prices still unaffordable, it's tough. When we bought our home, ourinterest ratewas locked at 2.5% rates now are much higher. Most homes in desirable areas are in the $1.5 million range, and with the high property taxes here, it's just not realistic. We could not afford a place in Austin now without doubling or tripling our housing costs.For now, we're happy with our place, and maybe we'll add a bathroom one day.ADUs are becoming popular in Austin, and I can see whyAustin has a housing crisis, yet people still want to live here and continue moving to the city. I think creative solutions like ADUs are necessary.Over the past few years, the city has made it much easier to add ADUs to properties, especially the type I built, which is under 200 square feet.Historically, with a permit, you could divide a quarter-acre or smaller property into two lots one for your main home and the other for an ADU, often for uses like Airbnb. But now, with relaxed regulations, you can simply add a small structure in the back of your property without needing a permit. The office is just steps from the main house but isolated enough to provide Mauldin with peace and solitude. Courtesy of Justin Mauldin While some may have concerns about homes being closer together, I believe this is the best solution for making it easier for people to build ADUs and own homes and it's working well.The office has certainly made living in our house much more comfortable.In today's world, there's so much background noise, whether you're at the office or working remotely, making it hard to focus and be creative. You can try blocking it out with headphones, but there's a big difference between that and being in a truly quiet space.I'm used to my kids running in and out that's just part of being a dad but when I close the door, it's so serene.Beyond avoiding interruptions, sometimes you just need real focus time, especially for the creative stuff. With all the noise around us, having a quiet space feels like a complete escape.
