Stocks rally in Asia as Trump tariffs hit court hurdle
SYDNEY: Asian shares and Wall Street futures climbed in Asia on Thursday after a U.S. federal court blocked President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs from going into effect, sending the dollar up on safe haven currencies. The Manhattan-based Court of International Trade ruled that Trump overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties on imports from nations that sell more to the United States than they buy. The White House quickly appealed the decision, and could take it all the way to the Supreme Court if needed, but in the meantime it offered some hope that Trump might back away from the highest tariff levels he had threatened. "We're just trying to work out what it might mean basically but obviously the market is doing a knee-jerk reaction," said Ray Attrill, head of FX strategy at NAB. "So this may be an absolute storm in a teacup or potentially something more significant." Investors reacted by embracing risk assets and Japan's Nikkei quickly rose 1%, while South Korea's shares added 0.8%. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan edged up, awaiting the opening of Chinese markets. S&P 500 futures climbed 1.5%, while Nasdaq futures rose 1.8%. The latter had already been lifted by relief over earnings from Nvidia, which beat sales estimates. The chipmaker and AI darling also projected strong revenues for the current quarter, sending its shares up 4.4% after hours. That news helped offset a Financial Times report that the White House had ordered U.S. firms that offer software used to design semiconductors to stop selling their services to Chinese groups. The New York Times separately reported the United States had suspended some sales to China of critical U.S. technologies, including those related to jet engines, semiconductors and certain chemicals. PUSHING OUT RATE CUTS The news of the court decision hit traditional safe havens, lifting the dollar 0.8% on the Swiss franc to 0.336. It gained 0.6% on the Japanese yen to 145.76 yen, while the euro dipped 0.5% to $1.1230. Yields on 10-year Treasuries rose 3 basis points to 4.51% and markets further shaved the chance of a Federal Reserve rate cut anytime soon. Minutes of the last Fed meeting showed "almost all participants commented on the risk that inflation could prove to be more persistent than expected" due to Trump's tariffs. A rate cut in July is now seen as just a 22% chance, while September has come into around 60% having been more than fully priced a month ago. In commodity markets, gold slipped 0.9% to $3,259 an ounce . Oil prices extended a rally begun on supply concerns as OPEC+ agreed to leave their output policy unchanged and as the U.S. barred Chevron from exporting Venezuelan crude. U.S. crude firmed 47 cents to $62.31 per barrel. - Reuters

Malaysia's ESG imperative: Local implementation, global transformation
Prof Dr Zainura Zainon Noor LOCAL communities play a vital role in sustainable development. As the climate crisis accelerates, and with Malaysia pledging net-zero emissions by 2050, action must start at home. In practice, this means embracing environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles not as a compliance burden, but as a growth strategy – a way for businesses and communities alike to thrive while preserving our environment. The upcoming Future-Ready ESG 2025 Conference (June 21, 2025 – Kuala Lumpur) will showcase how Malaysia can turn grassroots action into a force for global change. We must seize this moment: local implementation of sustainability measures will become a catalyst for regional and even global transformation. ESG: From compliance to opportunity Across the world, companies are discovering that ESG is no longer an optional add-on. Nowadays, ESG considerations have transitioned from corporate buzzwords to core strategic imperatives. In Malaysia, this shift is increasingly evident; public listed companies are already required to report on sustainability, and investors are demanding greater accountability, transparency, and ethical governance. While ESG reporting for small-medium enterprises (SMEs) is not yet mandatory, it is likely to become part of future regulatory expectations. More importantly, adopting ESG practices can help SMEs enhance operational efficiency, improve access to green financing, and strengthen their position in supply chains particularly when engaging in international trade. Early adoption can give SMEs a competitive edge and build long-term resilience in an evolving global market. Far from stifling growth, the data show that firms integrating ESG into their strategy tend to outperform. McKinsey's analysis of global firms found that companies aligning growth with ESG 'outperform their peers' – in other words, 'not only can you do well while doing good, you can do better'. Thus, integrating sustainability is not just a compliance obligation, but a vital component of long-term success. In short, businesses that see sustainability as a strategic opportunity unlock new efficiency, reputation and resilience and gain an edge in the market. As Chair of Asean in 2025, Malaysia has explicitly made inclusivity and sustainability core priorities of the regional agenda. This is more than rhetoric: the theme of this year's Asean Summit is 'Inclusivity and Sustainability', and Malaysia has committed to push climate action and clean energy across Southeast Asia. By aligning national development with ESG goals, Malaysia can set a powerful example. We have already pledged a 45 per cent cut in carbon intensity by 2030 and net-zero by 2050, and we now have the opportunity to turn these ambitions into reality for the region. The time is ripe for Malaysia to show how local implementation of sustainability whether through nature-based solutions in ecologically rich regions like Borneo, or through green financing and climate innovation in dynamic urban centres like Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Penang. This green and community friendly initiatives can integrate with regional plans for a cleaner, more equitable future. Bridging policy and practice It's one thing to set goals on paper, and another to implement them on the ground. In Malaysia today, ESG momentum is coming from both ends: strong government roadmaps and global commitments on one side, and growing market demand on the other. Indeed, in Malaysia, our ESG approach is guided by both top-down regulation and bottom-up market demand, aligning us with international frameworks like the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and major reporting standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and the ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board) standards. Compliance with these frameworks is increasingly essential for participating in international trade, particularly in key export sectors like palm oil and manufacturing where buyers now expect demonstrable ESG alignment. As Asean Chair in 2025, Malaysia's leadership underscores that strong ESG governance is not only a regulatory imperative, but also a trade necessity to keep our industries competitive and responsible on the world stage. That is precisely the gap this conference addresses. By bringing policymakers together with industry leaders, financiers and social innovators, we will translate strategy into action. Through workshops and case studies we will spotlight real-world solutions, from renewable energy projects and sustainable supply chains to inclusive governance and green investment. When regulation meets innovation, transformation follows. Malaysia has the regulations; now we must build the skills, tools and collaborations to follow through. Future-Ready ESG 2025 is designed as the forum to do exactly that. Future-Ready ESG 2025 Conference: Local to global The Future-Ready ESG 2025 Conference (June 21, 2025 – Sama-Sama Hotel, KLIA) is the premier platform for this endeavour. Co-organised by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia's (UTM) Centre for Environmental Sustainability and Water Security (IPASA), Asia e University's School of Professional and Executive Education Development (SPEED), MAB Academy (Malaysia Aviation Group) and Intuition, the conference will convene thought leaders, business executives, investors, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and government representatives. The theme, 'Local Implementation, Global Transformation', captures the spirit of this gathering. We are literally 'aligning local action with regional integration for global transformation'. In practical terms, this means each session will link Malaysia's policies (ESG standards) with on-the-ground practice. We will showcase Malaysian success stories and international best practices and explore how to replicate them across Asean. Highlights include technical papers presentation and networking forum focused on actionable ESG roadmaps for different sectors. For example, the conference sessions will explore practical ESG applications across sectors such as aviation, biotechnology, manufacturing and environmental services, ranging from carbon markets to inclusive governance. The panel dialogues and case studies will highlight real-world approaches to issues like climate resilience, responsible innovation, and sustainable corporate strategy. Importantly, the programme is HRD Corp-claimable, making it an excellent opportunity for companies to upskill their teams with ESG-relevant knowledge. This is not a conference for press releases, but rather, a launchpad for partnerships, transformation, and actionable solutions. Call to action: Join the ESG journey The path forward is clear – ESG is not a distant trend, as it is today's business reality and the only viable strategy for a sustainable future. The evidence is overwhelming that organisations embedding ESG into their core will emerge stronger and more competitive. Yet, success requires collaboration. That is why I urge all stakeholders namely businesses, bankers and bureaucrats, entrepreneurs and educators to be part of this conversation. Register for the Future-Ready ESG 2025 Conference on June 21, lend your voice, and take away plans to embed ESG into your own operations. Together, we will bridge local initiatives and regional policies, turning good intentions into lasting impact. The choices we make now, at home and at this moment of leadership, will ripple far beyond Malaysia. Let us act decisively and take advantage of this strategic opportunity so that our local actions truly spark global transformation. The future is being written today – let Malaysia lead the way. * Prof Zainura is the director of the IPASA of UTM, and Chair of the Future-Ready ESG 2025 Conference. environment ESG global transformation lead net-zero emissionssustainability

‘Paradigm return' in academia — Mohammad Tariqur Rahman
MAY 21 — A growing adolescent dreams of finishing his/her university education to have a decent job/profession and a decent living. Some cherish their dreams to become doctors, and others an engineer, an educator, or an administrator. Not everyone will find their dreams come true. Yet, completing a university degree is seen as a regular path to a decent job and a decent living. Will university education in the future be seen in the same way as it is today? The history of higher education's evolution from Lyceum to modern-day university compels us to believe that changes in academia are inevitable. Thirty years ago, when I joined as a lecturer at a university, language quality was a part of evaluating assignments, reports, or theses. One of the assessment rubrics was to evaluate a student's writing skills. Later, MS Word grammar and spell checker became popular, followed by the use of language editors. We stopped evaluating writing skills for grammar. Having writing assistance like Grammarly made the job easier for both sides. Albeit things have changed. More advanced tools are in our hands. The whole assignment, report, or thesis can be composed by chatbots. Students can prepare possible questions and answers using chatbots, helping them during the open-book examinations. Not to mention, lecturers also find chatbots helpful to prepare lecture notes and questions, as well as to mark students' assignments. It is just a matter of time before universities will (be forced to) accept the widespread and uncontrolled use of chatbots, like we did not bother using Grammarly. That reveals the first puzzle: Should universities change the methods of assessment? The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly replacing the human workforce with 'inferior' skills to their 'counterbots'. A good number of professions, namely but not limited to entry-level bookkeeping and accounting roles, graphic designers, financial analysis, and manufacturing jobs (machine operation, product handling, testing, packaging, testing, etc.) are expected to be completely replaced by AI. At the same time, registered nurses, choreographers, paramedics, mental health specialists and counsellors, teachers (from K-12 and further, higher education teachers), instructors, professors, civil engineers, surgeons, and journalists will heavily depend on AI assistance for their jobs. Nevertheless, how many of us, irrespective of our university degree, will lose a so-called decent job because of AI integration in the future is unpredictable. That reality manifests the second puzzle: Should universities rethink, revamp, and renew the courses they offer as well as the contents of the courses? While AI integration in industries is growing, Gen Z and the younger generations seem to have less and less interest in the traditional job opportunities that require university degrees. Besides, these younger generations tend to learn many of the skills they need for their jobs using AI. Hence, they might not want to go to university for learning, which otherwise adds a burden of education loans to complete their university degrees. Eventually, a lower demand for university education is expected in the future. Furthermore, the ongoing debate on the growing demand for skilled labour and small entrepreneurs versus university graduates tends to favour the former groups as an economic force in the future. Skilled labour and small entrepreneurs can easily escape from any potential job insecurity and steadily contribute to economic growth with stability. On that account, at the verge of a lesser demand for university degrees, the third puzzle appears: Should universities aim for a reduced (or highly selective) enrolment and reduced tuition fees? Words reading "Artificial intelligence AI" are seen in this illustration taken December 14, 2023. — Reuters pic Dependency and reliance on technology and advanced technical skills become increasingly inevitable. Simply put, designing, building, and repairing a house was simpler in the past compared to today. Unlike in the past, from plumber, architect, civil engineer to urban planner, a wide range of expertise and skills at different levels and categories are essential today. Similar to housing, all forms of products and services involve a chain of tasks from development to delivery. In the near future, AI integration will automate most of the tasks within the chain of development and delivery of most, if not all, products and services. As much as specific skills are needed for each task, a holistic understanding of the total chain is imperative, especially when AI integration is inevitable for an organization providing the product or service. That will implore universities to focus on producing graduates with different levels of skills, one with more creative skills and others with more specific technical skills (similar to technical or vocational training). Will universities then envisage the fourth puzzle: Should universities adopt a different approach to design the curriculum to produce two streams of graduates? More and more universities are aiming to offer enrolment with a credit waiver without any formal training, such as self learning. Those who will be able to prove their knowledge and skills may not need to go through the regular path of a Bachelor's or Master's degree. That brings forth the possibility of the fifth puzzle: Should there be a need for universities to offer a four-year bachelor's degree program? None of the above puzzles, I.e., the 'should' questions, are entirely fictitious. In some universities, the anticipated changes are already in place. Diving deeper into those questions might make one wonder if the current format of higher education, focusing on producing skilled labourers, will continue to exist in the near future. Rather, it will intrigue one to ponder the deeper meaning of higher education, which was primarily meant to explore the philosophy of knowledge, dealing with epistemology, ontology, and axiology. Indeed, the selection of the content, format of assessments, disciplines, and above all, the guru had a different paradigm than what we have today. Now, the final question is: Should we, or how soon, should we embrace the 'paradigm return' in academia? * Prof Mohammad is the Deputy Executive Director (Development, Research & Innovation) at International Institute of Public Policy and Management (INPUMA), Universiti Malaya, and can be reached at [email protected] ** This is the personal opinion of the writer or publication and does not necessarily represent the views of Malay Mail.
