Malaysia's new maritime vessel takes shape
KUALA LUMPUR: Construction of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency's (MMEA) multi-purpose mission ship (MPMS) has begun with a keel laying ceremony at Desan Kaptanoglu Shipyard in Turkiye. The ceremony, officiated by MMEA director of engineering First Admiral Mohd Rizal Hishamuddin and MPMS project director Kpt Mohammad Nasir Man yesterday, marked the start of joining the main blocks for the largest vessel in the agency's history. Mohd Rizal said the initial phase of the keel laying involved the installation of blocks 107, 108, 207, and 208, which formed the ship's midsection, Bernama reported. 'This keel laying tradition marks the start of the main block assembly process and carries symbolic significance for the construction of a strategic national asset,' he said in a statement yesterday. Mohd Rizal said the 99m-long and 17m-wide MPMS was designed for deep-sea operations lasting up to 28 days without resupply, and would be deployed for surveillance in the Exclusive Economic Zone as well as to monitor areas inaccessible to smaller vessels. Equipped with advanced defence technology, he said the MPMS would feature an unmanned aerial vehicle, a 30mm cannon, X- and S-band radars, a helicopter landing pad, a rigid-hull inflatable boat, and four fast interceptor craft. 'The MPMS can travel at 20 knots, accommodate 70 crew members and 20 passengers, and will have onboard medical and detention facilities,' added Mohd Rizal. Meanwhile, Desan Kaptanoglu Shipyard board chairman Cenk Ismail Kaptanoglu said in the same statement that achieving the keel laying milestone so soon after the contract signing on May 20 demonstrated the efficiency and commitment of all parties involved. 'The steel blocks installed today will not only form the backbone of the MPMS but also symbolise the strategic relationship and determination of Turkiye and Malaysia to strengthen maritime security. 'As with our previous projects, we are confident the MPMS can be delivered ahead of the March 2027 schedule,' he said.

IMF Data: Kazakhstan Leads Post-Soviet States In GDP Per Capita
ASTANA, Aug 15 (Bernama-Kazinform) -- Kazakhstan's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in 2025 is expected to reach an impressive US$14,770, according to the latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) figures. Kazinform International News Agency reported that this figure is calculated at current prices, taking into account inflation and the present price level, making it a key indicator of economic well-being. By comparison, Russia, long considered the economic leader of the post-Soviet space, will stand at US$14,260, while energy-rich Turkmenistan will reach US$13,340. Notably, Kazakhstan has also surpassed China, where GDP per capita is projected at US$13,690. bootstrap slideshow The data highlights a substantial economic gap within the region. Kazakhstan is not only in the lead but is also showing consistent progress, overtaking countries with traditionally strong economies such as Russia and even large global players like China. Kazakhstan's achievement can be attributed to several key factors that have driven steady economic growth and strengthened its position in the region. The country holds some of the world's largest reserves of oil, gas, uranium, and other minerals. Exports of energy resources and raw materials remain a central driver of the economy. In recent years, Kazakhstan has worked to diversify its exports by developing processing industries and increasing the share of high value-added products. The government has pursued consistent reforms aimed at improving the business climate, attracting foreign investment, and developing infrastructure. State programmes have helped modernise the economy and boost competitiveness, while investments in sectors such as transport, logistics, and technology have played a significant role. Spending on education, healthcare, and social infrastructure has raised living standards, which in turn has supported productivity growth and expanded the domestic consumer market. Kazakhstan's strategic location in Central Asia makes it a vital link between Europe and Asia. Participation in initiatives like the Belt and Road, along with active cooperation with Russia, China, the European Union, and other partners, has expanded the country's economic opportunities.
