Ceasefire not merely a pause but a promise to protect lives, says Home Minister after Thailand-Cambodia GBC meet
KUALA LUMPUR: Ceasefire is not merely a pause but a promise to protect lives, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail says. 'That promise must be honoured with firm commitments, effective monitoring and sincere political will from both sides. We are proud that both sides have given this commitment through these meetings thoroughly the last few days. 'In Asean, we believe in resolving disputes through consensus, non-confrontation, trust, mutual respect and the spirit of non-interference. This spirit has guided us today and will continue to do so in the journey ahead,' he said after the conclusion of the extraordinary meeting of the Cambodia-Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) in Wisma Perwira here on Thursday (Aug 7). Earlier in the day, acting Thailand Defence Minister General Nattaphon Narkphanit said that the meetings were 'an important step' towards peace. "I think what we've seen today is an important step, and that is that the senior representatives from both sides, using an existing bilateral mechanism, the GBC, have met and have recommitted to the ceasefire agreement that was reached on July 28th in Putujaya under the leadership of Prime Minister Anwar and with the Prime Minister of Cambodia and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand. 'The goal here is a sustainable and durable ceasefire, that is one that is able to be accepted and enforced by both sides. 'There are mechanisms that are being put in place, and we believe those mechanisms are very important to ensure monitoring of this. 'But more importantly, we believe that what we've seen here is a sign that both governments have recommitted themselves to this, and the United States will be watching very closely to ensure that governments remain committed to a ceasefire,' he said in a statement. His counterpart Cambodian Defence Minister General Tea Seiha said in a prepared statement that reaffirms the commitment to 'fully and faithfully' implement the understandings reached during the meeting on July 28. 'Particularly the ceasefire agreement and the establishment of a Asean Observer Team led by Malaysia. This mechanism is of great importance to ensure a sustained and accountable ceasefire,' he said. Both Cambodia and Thailand also thanked Malaysia for facilitating the meetings and the United States' and China's roles as observers. Thailand and Cambodia agreed to implement a ceasefire effective midnight on July 28 through a special meeting in Malaysia chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, that brought both Southeast Asian neighbours to the negotiating table following heightened tensions. Tensions between the two countries peaked on May 28 when fighting broke out in the disputed Preah Vihear area, resulting in the death of a Cambodian soldier.

Indonesia's copper export to the US gets zero tariff
JAKARTA: Investment and Downstreaming Minister Rosan Roeslani confirmed that Indonesian copper will be subject to a zero-per cent import tariff in the United States, while negotiations continue to expand this exemption to other commodities, reported Antara news agency. "For copper, we get a 0 per cent tariff," Roeslani stated during the 2025 Indonesia-Japan Executive Dialogue here on Wednesday (Aug 6). The minister stated that Indonesia is still negotiating with the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to reduce import tariffs for other commodities, such as nickel and palm oil, and he expressed optimism about achieving favourable results for Indonesia. "We are negotiating (the tariff reduction) for other commodities. So far, we got (zero tariff) for copper, and other commodities such as nickel are likely to be approved, even if not at zero per cent, but at least lower than the current 19 per cent tariff," he remarked. According to Roeslani, Indonesia is also seeking a tariff-free status for other commodities that are not produced in the United States. Earlier, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto stated that Indonesia is seeking tariff reductions on commodities including crude palm oil, rubber, shorea wood, and copper derivatives. In the latest Indonesia-US trade agreement in July, the US administration agreed to reduce the tariff, which was initially set at 32 per cent by President Donald Trump last April, to 19 per cent. In exchange, Indonesia has committed to purchasing US$15 billion in US energy products and US$4.5 billion in US agricultural products, according to the US president on July 16. Indonesia also intends to purchase 50 Boeing jets, mostly Boeing 777 passenger jets, Trump stated. No details were provided regarding which Indonesian parties would purchase the Boeing jets. - Bernama-Antara

Govt proposes tobacco tax hike, cites health reforms
PUTRAJAYA: The government is considering a proposal to raise the tobacco tax to between 60 per cent and 70 per cent of retail prices. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the finance minister, said the proposal was consistent with the government's health reforms. "I agree with the spirit of the proposal," Anwar said when asked about the proposal. "I don't smoke, and I fully support anti-smoking campaigns." Anwar was speaking to reporters after attending the first engagement session for Budget 2026 with almost 300 stakeholders. Malaysia's current tobacco tax, which has not been revised since September 2014, accounts for about 58 per cent of retail prices. The country has no formal mechanism for periodic reviews or increases. Last week, Anwar said the government would expand its pro-health tax framework to include tobacco, vape products, and alcohol, beyond just sugary drinks, under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). He said the move was aimed at increasing revenue and driving behavioural change to reduce the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and cancer. Health reforms are expected to be a key focus in Budget 2026, which will be tabled on Oct 10, according to Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.
