Malaysia's approved investments grow 3.7 pct on year in Q1

KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 (Xinhua) -- The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) announced Wednesday that Malaysia secured 89.8 billion ringgit (21.18 billion U.S. dollars) in approved investments, marking a 3.7 percent year-on-year increase amid a challenging global economic backdrop. MIDA said in a statement that these investments, spread across 1,556 projects in manufacturing, services, and primary sectors, are set to generate over 33,300 new employment opportunities for Malaysians. "The results reflect continued investor confidence in the country's clear policies and long-term fundamentals, bucking the trend of cautious international capital flows due to geopolitical and macroeconomic volatility, as well as intensifying global competition for fresh investments," it said. According to the statement, foreign investments dominated the investment landscape, contributing 60.4 billion ringgit or 67.3 percent of total investments, while domestic investments accounted for 29.4 billion ringgit or 32.7 percent. "The investment environment in 2025 is expected to remain challenging due to continued geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds stemming from the global trade war," said Zafrul Aziz, minister of investment, trade and industry. "Although major markets' protectionist policies and supply chain frictions continue to weigh in on companies' investment decisions, Malaysia's clear policies should be able to attract more investments from Asia's growing economy, expected to expand to about 42 percent of global gross domestic product by 2040," he added. (1 ringgit equals 0.24 U.S. dollars)

Revised Sales Tax won't affect essentials, aims to shield rakyat from inflation, says Mat Sabu

Mohamad Sabu says the implementation of revised ST, effective July 1, only involves selected and premium goods, at a rate of 5 per cent or 10 per cent. – Bernama photo KUALA LUMPUR (June 11): The government will continue to ensure essential goods like rice, cooking oil, vegetables, chicken and fish remain tax-free to safeguard the people's food security. Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said the implementation of revised Sales Tax (ST), effective July 1, only involves selected and premium goods, at a rate of 5 per cent or 10 per cent. According to him, the items in this category include truffle mushrooms, racing bicycles and king crab. 'This is a balanced approach where most people won't be affected, while those who are better off can contribute fairly to the country's development. 'Insya-Allah, the MADANI Government will continue to ensure policies that are formulated are centred on the principles of social justice and well-being of the people,' he posted on Facebook. Based on the Ministry of Finance's explanation, the zero per cent sales tax is maintained for daily essential goods, like chicken, beef, lamb, fish, shrimp, squid, vegetables, local fruits, rice, barley, oats, wheat, flour, canned sardines, sugar and salt. Also included are white bread, pasta, vermicelli, noodles, instant noodles, milk, cooking oil, medicine, medical devices, books, journals, newspapers and pet food. Zero per cent sales tax is also retained for basic construction materials like cement, bricks and sand as well as agricultural sector inputs such as fertilisers, pesticides, and agricultural and livestock machinery. The ministry added that the Madani Government had taken measures to ensure the ST is not imposed on daily essential goods to avoid directly affecting the cost of living for the majority of Malaysians and to maintain a controlled inflation rate. – Bernama basic goods Inflation lead Mohamad Sabu sales tax

Traditional Kedah dish takes top prize at Genting Culinary Classic competition

PAHANG: A traditional Kedah dish has claimed the top prize at the Genting Culinary Classic 2025 competition today. Out of 20 finalists, Budiman Bistari Mohamed from Batu Kurau, Perak, emerged as the grand national winner with his signature dish, ayam golek with buah kulim, served alongside nasi lemuni, herb salad, and fried eggplant with wild petai (stink beans). The 50-year-old executive sous chef at Le Méridien expressed his delight at being able to showcase local ingredients on a national platform. "I'm extremely happy to have brought Malay food to this stage, all the way from Kedah. "Many of the ingredients I used today are unfamiliar to the younger generation, but we have a rich catalogue of herbs that we should be proud of and share with the world," he said. Budiman said that he had practised the recipe extensively at home, with the help of his mother and grandmother, whose support was instrumental in perfecting the dish. "The preparation wasn't too difficult because they were with me throughout the process, even enduring the long hours. "If I didn't know something, I'd ask them, and they'd guide me patiently," he said. With over 30 years of culinary experience, Budiman hopes to integrate traditional home-cooked dishes into hotel cuisine and prove that Malaysian heritage food deserves a place in modern dining. As the grand national winner, Budiman received a cash prize of RM20,000, in-kind prizes worth RM5,000, and the opportunity to showcase his winning dish at Resorts World Genting's food and beverage outlets. The Genting Culinary Classic 2025, a nationwide culinary competition, was launched as part of Resorts World Genting's 60th anniversary celebrations. It was organised in collaboration with the Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards (Hapa) Group Sdn Bhd and in association with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture. After a rigorous selection process involving more than 120 aspiring cooks from across the country, 20 finalists were chosen to compete on June 10 and 11 at the Genting International Showroom (GISR). Open to chefs and cooking enthusiasts aged 18 and above from all culinary backgrounds, the competition celebrates Malaysia's diverse food heritage. This year's judging panel featured renowned culinary figures, including celebrity chef Martin Yan and MasterChef Malaysia judge Mohd Johri Edrus, who offered valuable insights and feedback during the judging process. "All the contestants put their heart and soul into their dishes, whether they were professional chefs or passionate home cooks. "There are still many people around the world who aren't familiar with Malaysian food, and competitions like this can help introduce it to a global audience," said chef Yan. Riding on the success of this year's event, the Genting Culinary Classic is set to return for its second edition in 2026, continuing its mission to spotlight culinary excellence in Malaysia.
