Arisprop aims to bring Aris Burger to China by 2027
KUALA LUMPUR: Frozen food manufacturer Arisprop Capital Bhd is planning to introduce its Aris Burger brand to the Chinese market by 2027, as part of the company's global expansion strategy.
Its managing director, Datuk Haris Embong, said the company is currently focused on strengthening its domestic business foundations, including supply chain optimisation, product quality and operational processes, before venturing internationally.
'We want to export our products overseas, possibly to China by 2027 or even earlier. But first, I want to reinforce our domestic foundation, as demand is high,' he said during Bernama TV's Bual Bisnes programme on Saturday.
The company is also planning a business visit to China as an initial step towards establishing export partnerships to support market expansion into the country.
In addition to China, Malaysian halal products are attracting strong interest from other countries, including Japan and Indonesia, and the Middle East, Haris said.
To strengthen its product line-up, the company is in the final stages of developing a ready-to-eat burger, which is expected to be the first of its kind in Malaysia.
'This ready-to-eat burger is the result of Arisprop's research and innovation, and we anticipate strong demand in the local market,' Haris said.
All Aris Burger products have received the necessary certifications and approvals from agencies such as the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia, the Ministry of Health Malaysia, and the Department of Veterinary Services, positioning the company to compete on a global scale. – Bernama

Boeing resumes China deliveries with 787-9 jet to Juneyao Airlines, Yicai reports
The interior of a British Airways Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. Boeing has delivered a new 787-9 aircraft to China's Juneyao Airlines. - Samuel Ong/The Star BEIJING/HONG KONG: Boeing delivered a new 787-9 aircraft to China's Juneyao Airlines on Saturday (June 14), Chinese media outlet Yicai reported, as trade tensions between Beijing and Washington ease. The delivery comes two days after a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with 242 people on board crashed in a fireball shortly after takeoff in western India. Boeing and Juneyao Airlines did not immediately reply to Reuters requests for comment on the Yicai report. The US aerospace giant had suspended new aircraft deliveries to China in April as President Donald Trump's tariff war escalated between the world's two largest economies. Boeing said at the end of May that deliveries would resume this month after the tariffs were temporarily scaled back for 90 days. China and the US concluded two days of negotiations in London on Tuesday to resolve key trade issues in the two superpowers' bruising tariff war, where negotiators from Washington and Beijing agreed on a framework covering tariff rates. On Monday, a new Boeing 737 MAX painted in the livery of Xiamen Airlines landed in China, adding to signs that the planemaker was resuming deliveries to China. The country represents about ten per cent of Boeing's commercial backlog and is an important and growing aviation market. Boeing had previously said customers in China would not take delivery of new planes due to the tariffs and that it was looking to resell potentially dozens of aircraft. - Reuters

New Zealand tries visa waiver to Chinese citizens travelling from Australia
Tourists take in the view of Auckland, New Zealand, after the rain from atop Mt Eden, a dormant volcano also know by its Maori name, Maungawhau, on Oct 5, 2024. - Photo: AP WELLINGTON: (Bernama-Xinhua) The New Zealand government announced a visa waiver policy on Sunday (June 15) for Chinese citizens travelling from Australia, Xinhua reported. According to Immigration New Zealand, starting November 2025, New Zealand will be trialling visa waiver status for Chinese passport holders travelling from Australia with a valid Australian visitor, work, student or family visa, allowing them to visit New Zealand for up to three months with a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) rather than applying for a visa. This does not include people transiting through Australia, and applicants will still need to meet the criteria for an NZeTA. Sunday's visa waiver announcement is a trial policy for 12 months and is believed to boost New Zealand's attractiveness as a destination for Chinese tourists. - Bernama-Xinhua

Merchantrade Asia aiming for digital payroll disbursements of RM5 billion in 2025
PETALING JAYA: Merchantrade Asia Sdn Bhd's digital payroll solution surpassed RM3.6 billion in salary disbursements to foreign worker e-wallet accounts in 2024, highlighting the company's continued leadership in digitising and transforming payroll processes while advancing financial inclusion for underserved communities. Maintaining this momentum, Merchantrade Asia is aiming to achieve an ambitious payroll volume target of RM5 billion by the end of 2025. Founder and managing director Ramasamy K Veeran said the RM3.6 billion disbursed in 2024 not only demonstrates the impact of the company's solution but also reflects a clear shift among Malaysian employers towards digital wage solutions that enhance productivity, transparency and employee well-being. 'We are focused on building on this growth to reach RM5 billion in 2025 by deepening our partnerships, strengthening our onboarding capabilities, and continuously innovating to meet employer and worker needs,' he said in a statement. The company has positioned itself as a trusted enabler of digital wage disbursement solutions for Malaysian businesses, from large corporations to SMEs across sectors including plantation, manufacturing, construction, and services. More than 40 public-listed companies now rely on the solution for secure, efficient, and transparent salary payments to their migrant workforce. Merchantrade Asia's digital payroll offering was strengthened following its recognition as an approved issuer of a designated payment instrument under the Employment Order 2024 by the Ministry of Human Resources. Designed for convenience and scale, Merchantrade Asia's digital payroll system includes mass onboarding at the employer's premises, an easy-to-use portal, training, and access to 97 branches and 450 agent locations nationwide that act as service centres. With comprehensive support for employers from onboarding to after-sales service, the solution is a more sought-after choice compared to traditional banks, particularly for the foreign worker segment. For foreign workers, salaries are credited directly into the Merchantrade Money e-wallet, enabling access to a suite of digital financial services. This includes international remittances, mobile top-ups, micro-insurance, bill payments, and retail and online payments with the Visa prepaid card. One of the key features of Merchantrade Asia's payroll service is its capability to facilitate Social Security Organisation payments directly into Merchantrade Money accounts. This integration simplifies the claims process for eligible foreign workers and supports employers in managing their social protection obligations.
