Chinese-built Ethiopian Airlines headquarters building tops out
ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- The new Ethiopian Airlines Group headquarters building, which is under construction in Addis Ababa, the East African country's capital, has topped out, marking completion of its main structural works. The topping-out ceremony of the 45-meter-high structure was held on Monday, attended by representatives from the Ethiopian Airlines Group and China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC). Mesfin Tasew, chief executive officer (CEO) of Ethiopian Airlines Group, expressed confidence that the project will be completed on schedule, meeting the long-awaited desire of the airline. "We want this headquarters to be completed as soon as possible. It is our expectation that this headquarters will be completed with the highest level of quality," said Tasew. Built by the CCECC on a total land area of over 33,560 square meters, the project consists of six different buildings with multiple facilities, including commercial, corporate, and customer services. Noting that Chinese construction companies have successfully accomplished different projects for the airline, Tasew expressed confidence in the CCECC to deliver the project to the airline's satisfaction. "Our decision to engage with CCECC shows our trust and confidence in the company to construct and deliver state-of-the-art facilities," the CEO reiterated. Chen Sichang, general manager of CCECC, vowed to deliver the project on time and with top quality. "Now, the main structure has been completed, our commitment to engineering excellence does not stop here. We pledge to our client and all stakeholders that we will continue to uphold our corporate motto of diligence, integrity, and perseverance," Chen said. Launched on Aug. 30, 2023, the Ethiopian Airlines Group headquarters building project is set to be completed in August 2026. Recently, Ethiopian Airlines, the flagship carrier of Ethiopia, has launched the construction of a new mega airport near Bishoftu town, about 42 km east of Addis Ababa. During the topping-out ceremony, the CEO invited CCECC to participate in the construction of the new mega airport.

HR Minister Unlocks RM2 Bln Levy Fund For Graduate Hiring As Merdeka Gift For Employers
BUSINESS PETALING JAYA, Aug 18 (Bernama) -- Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong has announced that employers can utilise up to RM2 billion from the human resources development (HRD) levy fund to hire Malaysian graduates beginning Sept 1, 2025. 'As a Merdeka gift, I am unlocking up to RM2 billion in the HRD levy fund for you to hire Malaysian graduates beginning Sept 1, 2025. You will now be able to use your levy money to pay the salary of your workers if they are university graduates or TVET graduates,' he said in his speech at the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) Annual Dinner 2025 here today. Also present were Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo, FMM president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai and FMM deputy president Lee Chor Kok. Sim highlighted that the initiative would not only help employers improve cashflow, but also place a greater premium on human capital, create more higher-paying jobs and provide on-the-job training for graduates. He also reminded industry players not to overlook human capital while chasing technology-driven productivity, especially with artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly reshaping industries. 'This confirmed our instinctive suspicion for the past few years. AI replaces conventional academic-trained personnel… this will dent the signalling value of an academic degree in the future,' he said. The minister highlighted that Malaysia had already spent up to RM77.2 billion on digitalisation until the end of last year, while global tech players such as Google, Microsoft, Bytedance and Amazon have committed to invest over RM60 billion in the country. 'Through the National Semiconductor Strategy, Malaysia has also received RM46.5 billion in investments in high-tech, high-growth, high-value sectors such as wafer fabrication, AI chips and integrated circuit production,' he said. The dinner also marked the 57th anniversary of FMM.

Kelantan Has Potential To Become Major Local Onion Producer
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (KPKM) is optimistic that Kelantan has the potential to become a major producer of local onions next year. Its minister, Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, said the state's soil fertility was deemed suitable for onion cultivation and initial trials showed promising results. He said KPKM had approved an allocation of RM6 million for the Onion Cultivation Development Project in three states, namely Selangor, Perak and Kelantan, involving 80 participants with an area of 94.85 hectares (ha), which includes 11 farmers (40 ha) in Selangor, 52 farmers (26.85 ha) in Kelantan, and 17 farmers (28 ha) in Perak. Recently, Kelantan carried out its first harvest with an expected production yield of 18.4 tonnes from an area of 4.6 ha at the Telong Food Production Park (TKPM) in Bachok, which used the BAW-1 and BAW-2 varieties. "This harvest result shows a positive achievement as it recorded high production of around four tonnes per hectare, so Insya-Allah, next year we want Kelantan to become the main producer of this onion because its land is fertile for onion cultivation," he said when winding up the debate on the motion on the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13) for KPKM in the Dewan Rakyat today. Regarding production costs, Mohamad explained that a comprehensive study has not yet been conducted to determine the actual cost comparison between local and imported onions. 'Regarding production costs, we still don't have precise figures. Some use the greenhouse method, which is quite expensive. Overall, the government has not yet finalised the production cost for one tonne of local onions. 'The cost also varies depending on whether it is grown outdoors or in a greenhouse. However, we see that the price gap with imported onions is not too wide," he said. He also said that although there are no official figures yet, the government expects local onion production to reduce dependence on onion imports by up to 30 per cent.
