Natural resources minister rejects calls for centralised rare earth body, citing constitutional challenges and state objections
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 — The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES) has no plans to establish a centralised body to regulate Malaysia's rare earth elements (REE) industry, citing constitutional provisions and objections from state governments. Acting Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said several states had raised concerns during engagement sessions, viewing the proposal as an attempt to nationalise state-owned mineral resources. 'Petroleum resources outside state waters are managed differently from land matters, which fall under state jurisdiction,' he told the Dewan Rakyat when winding up the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) debate for his ministry today. He cited the Federal Constitution's Ninth Schedule (State List), which gives states authority over mining permits, leases and licences. As such, any move to centralise REE regulation would require in-depth study and close consultation with all state governments to safeguard their rights. Johari also dismissed claims that Malaysia had offered to supply REE, raw or otherwise, exclusively to the United States as leverage in trade tariff talks. 'This was already clarified by the Investment, Trade and Industry Minister (Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz) on Aug 7. The tariff discussions did not involve any commitment to supply REE,' he said. On negotiations with China, Johari said discussions are currently focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation to develop Malaysia's REE industry across the full value chain, including the setting up of processing plants. 'It's still early and China wants to see if our REE can be converted into the downstream products they need. No formal talks are underway regarding any buyback of processed REE,' he said. — Bernama

James Hardie flags weaker earnings as affordability stifles US housing; shares slump
KUALA LUMPUR: James Hardie issued a bleak warning for its North America business and forecast 2026 earnings below market view on Wednesday, as cash-strapped US homeowners put off any high-ticket renovation projects, sending its shares tumbling 30 per cent. Shares of the Australian fiber cement maker crashed 30 per cent in early trade to A$31.070 apiece, marking their biggest intraday decline. The stock was the worst loser in the ASX 200 benchmark index, which was down 0.2 per cent in the first 10 minutes of trading. James Hardie also cautioned that homebuilders were recalibrating their product inventory in line with the slowing demand for construction and remodelling projects, pushing its expectations for a market recovery into the next business year. "Homeowners are deferring large-ticket remodeling projects like re-siding, and affordability remains the key impediment to improvement in single-family new construction," CEO Aaron Erter said in an exchange filing. "Over the course of the summer, single-family new construction activity has been weaker than anticipated and we have adjusted our expectations to account for softer demand." As a result, James Hardie forecast adjusted operating earnings between $1.05 billion and $1.15 billion for the fiscal year ending March 2026, below the Visible Alpha consensus of US$1.23 billion. It earned US$1.1 billion in fiscal 2025. "Demand in both repair and remodel and new construction in North America is challenging," Erter said. That was reflected in June's sales of new US single-family homes, which increased less than expected due to higher mortgage rates, pushing inventory to levels last seen in late 2007. James Hardie's fiber cement sales in North America, its biggest money-making geography, declined 12 per cent to US$641.8 million in the quarter ended June 30. As a result, the Dublin-headquartered firm's adjusted net income fell to US$126.9 million in the first quarter from US$177.6 million last year, missing the Visible Alpha estimate of US$158.5 million. James Hardie, which completed its US$8.8 billion acquisition of US artificial decking maker AZEK on July 1, expects to benefit from new supply agreements and product launches mainly in fiscal 2027 and beyond, rather than in the second half of FY26 as previously anticipated.
