Meanwhile, the Paramount Cup 2025 will bring the fast-growing sport of pickleball to the spotlight in a multi-category showdown.
For thrillseekers and music fans, the PETRONAS Grand Prix of Malaysia 2025 will rev up the Sepang circuit with world-class MotoGP action, while R&B royalty Babyface will be serenading KL audiences with his greatest hits. And when the moon rises on 31 October and 1 November, W Kuala Lumpur’s Crystal Halloween rooftop event promises a two-night spectacle of DJs, high glam energy, cocktails, and city-lit celebration.

Nature in Exile 2.0 Exhibition
- Date: 12 October – 16 November 2025
- Venue: Centre of Photographic Arts @ Kokopelli Templar, Petaling Jaya
Nature in Exile 2.0 marks a new chapter for French digital artist François Bancon. The exhibition blends technology, memory, and emotion into a reflective visual experience. Once an automotive futurist shaping the aesthetics of mobility, Bancon now explores how nature quietly fades in a world driven by digital progress. Through striking imagery and immersive compositions, he captures the tension between organic beauty and artificial creation, urging viewers to reflect on what is lost in the name of innovation.
This isn’t merely an exhibition; it’s a meditation on our collective disconnection from the natural world. Bancon’s works evoke both wonder and melancholy – a visual dialogue between creation and erosion, where nature’s voice lingers amid the hum of circuitry. Nature in Exile 2.0 serves as both a warning and a tribute. It urges us to rediscover the delicate balance between humanity, technology, and the earth that sustains us.
