BUSINESS
By Jailani Hasan
LABUAN, June 25 (Bernama) -- After nearly three decades of ownership, 31 shop unit owners and nine Alpha apartment unit owners at the Financial Park Complex finally received their long-awaited strata titles today.
The issuance follows an application process by Financial Park (Labuan) Sdn Bhd that began in 2018, after the enforcement of the Strata Management Act 2013 in Labuan.
The titles were officially handed over by the Director General of the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM), Datuk Hazri Hassan, at Financial Park Complex here today.
Financial Park (Labuan) Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Johari Mesar said the mixed development comprises 419 commercial lots designed for various business activities and related facilities.
'This is a long-awaited achievement for our unit owners who have invested here since 1996.
'The strata title grants them formal ownership recognition and opens doors to better asset value management,' Johari said to Bernama after the handover ceremony.
He said Financial Park Labuan has undertaken upgrading works across several areas of the complex to enhance the value of its commercial assets.
'In addition, we are working closely with Labuan Corporation to ensure all business operators at the complex are properly licensed. This is crucial for maintaining regulatory compliance and supporting a healthy business ecosystem,' he said.

Kota Madani Development In Precinct 19 Can Overcome Shortage Of Govt Quarters
By Thivyamalini Ramalu PUTRAJAYA, June 25 (Bernama) -- Calls to increase the number of government quarters in Putrajaya over the past 25 years are set to be finally answered through the development of Kota MADANI in Precinct 19 here, said Putrajaya Corporation (PPj) president Datuk Fadlun Mak Ujud. Speaking to Bernama and RTM here today, he said government quarters are still in high demand, particularly from support groups who have been renting houses quite far from their workplaces. "Under the original master plan in 1998, we did plan for these residences. Based on the demand for quarters that we have received so far, we now have 17,000 applicants from various categories. "As far as I can recall, requests to build more quarters have been made since 2000. Finally, this year, we can implement the development of these quarters,' he said. Spanning 41.28 hectares, Kota MADANI is set to feature 10,000 high-density vertical residential units capable of accommodating over 3,000 residents. Its design will integrate artificial intelligence technology, efficient digital infrastructure and a green mobility system. Commenting on the assumptions of certain parties that the project used public funds, Fadlun stressed that the project is being developed through a public-private collaboration by Putrajaya Holdings using the Build-Lease-Maintain-Transfer (BLMT) concept. "… and this can reduce the actual costs because the government does not come out with any funding, and it is all borne by the developers. The only thing is that the repayment period will be determined by the Public Private Partnership Unit (UKAS),' he said. The development of Kota MADANI in Precinct 19 will be implemented in stages, with the first phase set to commence in the third quarter of this year, and the development is estimated to cost RM4 billion.

Finance Officer Loses Over RM4 Mln To Online Investment Scam
GEORGE TOWN, June 25 (Bernama) -- A finance officer from a local consultancy firm has lost RM4.17 million after falling victim to an online investment scam recently. Penang police chief Datuk Hamzah Ahmad said the 60-year-old woman lodged a police report yesterday at the Timur Laut district police headquarters (IPD), claiming she had been deceived by an investment scheme known as 'KKR Investment'. He said the victim first came across a KKR Investment advertisement on Facebook in early March and clicked on the link provided. 'She was then contacted via WhatsApp by a woman who later added her to a WhatsApp group called 'Kumpulan Analisis Kewangan Saham Malaysia' (Malaysian Stock Financial Analysis Group),' he said in a statement today. Hamzah said the suspect promised high returns within a short period, depending on the amount invested. The victim was also instructed to download an app called 'KKR INV' via a given link to register and begin investing. Between March 10 and June 13, the victim made 76 transactions amounting to RM4.17 million to eight different company bank accounts before realising she had been scammed. 'She became suspicious when she was unable to withdraw the profits displayed in the app and was instead asked to make additional payments,' Hamzah said. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. -- BERNAMA

UIS Empowers Students For Digital Era, Aims To Become Malaysia's First Wakaf University
KAJANG, June 25 (Bernama) -- Universiti Islam Selangor (UIS) continues to drive digital transformation and Islamic values-based education through various digitalisation initiatives, in line with the current job market requirements. Its vice-chancellor Datuk Prof Dr Mohd Farid Ravi Abdullah said among the key efforts were the implementation of online digital learning, micro-credential programmes, and the upgrading of technology-based teaching and learning systems. 'Recently, we upgraded 11 laboratories with the latest computers and software, including building a dedicated studio and recording room for communication and media students to gain hands-on training akin to real-world industry experience,' he said in a press conference here today. Mohd Farid said the university's approach, which integrates modern knowledge such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity with Islamic values, was aimed at producing well-rounded graduates capable of imparting knowledge, engaging in dakwah (Islamic propagation), and contributing meaningfully to society. UIS currently offers over 79 academic programmes from foundation to doctorate levels across six main faculties, including the Faculty of Islamic Civilisation Studies, the Faculty of Economics, Accounting and Management, and the Faculty of Creative Multimedia and Computing. According to Mohd Farid, UIS, formerly known as Kolej Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (KUIS), would officially be proclaimed a university by the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, on July 19. Established in 1995, KUIS was upgraded to a full-fledged university in October 2022. Tengku Permaisuri Selangor, Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin, will be proclaimed as the Chancellor of the university, which is wholly owned by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS). 'His Royal Highness' consent is a great honour and elevates the image of UIS as one of the top choices for Selangor's youth to further their studies,' Mohd Farid said.
