Govt approves RM14.39 mln grant for Suhakam's 2023 operations

KUALA LUMPUR: The government has approved a RM14.39 million grant to the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) for its 2023 operational expenses. Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying confirmed this as the highest amount ever allocated to the commission. 'The grant is intended to cover operating expenses, fixed allowance of Suhakam Commissioner, emoluments, operations rental, utilities, implementation of Suhakam's annual programmes and activities, as well as the purchase of assets such as vehicles on a one-off basis,' said Lim during the Dewan Rakyat session. She added that the funding decision was based on the 2023 Budget review, Suhakam's expenditure performance, and the government's financial capacity at the time. The allocation ensures Suhakam can continue fulfilling its mandate since its establishment in 2000. Lim also acknowledged proposals from MPs William Leong Jee Keen (PH-Selayang) and Hassan Abdul Karim (PH-Pasir Gudang) to increase Suhakam's funding. 'The government will consider appropriate allocations based on current financial capacity,' she stated. 'Since the establishment of Suhakam in 2000, the government has never failed to provide allocations. The government is always committed to ensuring that Suhakam can operate and fulfil its establishment objectives,' Lim emphasised. - Bernama

Oriental Interest's net profit rises to RM45.48mil in 3Q

KUALA LUMPUR: Oriental Interest Bhd 's net profit rose to RM45.484 million for its third quarter ended May 31, 2025 (3QF2025), from RM25.233 million a year earlier. The property development segment continued to be the key growth driver, with revenue increasing by 95 per cent in the current quarter, the group said in a Bursa Malaysia filing today. Revenue surged to RM305.245 million from RM180.424 million previously. "This growth was largely attributed to higher revenue recognition from construction progress of ongoing projects, and contributions from newly launched developments,' it said. Despite ongoing challenges in both the property sector and the broader domestic economy, the group said it continued its upward trajectory in revenue and profitability, underpinned by strong property sales that reflect the quality and value of its developments. "Looking ahead, the group remains well-positioned for continued growth, supported by unbilled property sales of approximately RM428.14 million as at the end of the reporting financial quarter. "With healthy bookings and strong sales momentum, the group is optimistic about delivering another year of positive performance in FY2025,' it said. - Bernama
