Impact Of US Market Restrictions On Malaysian Palm Oil Expected To Be Minimal
According to the KPK, the main factor contributing to this is the specific characteristics and functions of Malaysian palm oil which has been certified sustainable through the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification, making it difficult to replace with other oils in the global market. 'Therefore, the level of industry dependence in the US on sustainable palm-based materials is high,' the ministry said on the parliament website in reply to a question from Kamal Ashaari (PN-Kuala Krau) on the government's short- and medium-term plan for the palm oil industry to adapt to the US market. In 2024, Malaysia exported 191,231 tonnes of palm oil to the US. This value was only 1.1 per cent of the country's total palm oil exports for the year.

Royal Thai Army says Cambodian army called to apologise over Chong An Ma incident
BANGKOK: Royal Thai Army spokesman Maj Gen Winthai Suvaree said on Wednesday (Aug 20) that he had received a phone call from a Cambodian army officer, apologising for the rogue behaviour of a Cambodian soldier who tried to disrupt a visit by Asean observers. Winthai explained that the Cambodian officer told him the soldier who caused the disruption during the Asean Interim Observation Team's visit to the Chong An Ma area in Ubon Ratchathani on Tuesday had been drunk. - Photo: The Nation/ANN On Tuesday, when the Thai side led the Asean IOT team to observe the Chong An Ma area, the Cambodian soldier confronted the team, complaining that he had not been informed in advance about the visit. Winthai said both countries had previously agreed to patrol the area unarmed. He added that when Cambodia had led foreign observers to visit the area earlier, Thai soldiers had been present quietly and did not disrupt the visit, merely complaining politely that they should have been informed in advance. Winthai concluded that since the Cambodian soldier was aggressive and very impolite, Thai soldiers had to remove him from the area during the Asean IOT team's visit. - The Nation/ANN
