From ‘angkat ketiak' to ‘jalan terus', why I'm all in for plate recognition (if we do it right) — Henry Kau MS
JULY 28 — I went to a shopping mall yesterday and realised something strange about myself. I've started picking where to park based on whether I have to 'angkat ketiak' to tap my card at the boom gate. If I can just drive in and out without winding down the window or reaching for anything, that place gets an automatic five-star experience in my book. It sounds petty but it's real. The smallest frictions, like rolling down windows in the rain, mis-taps, or low card balances, shape how we move. That's why number plate scanning tech, officially known as automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), the kind that lets you glide through without touching anything, has quietly become one of the most useful things we've adopted. You'll find it in more places now. Some malls use it. So do gated communities. PLUS is running pilot lanes with it on selected highways. But none of them talk to each other. The rollout isn't uniform but it's already changing how people experience everyday movement. Before all this, we were always tapping. Always queueing. Always wondering if the sensor would work, or whether we had enough credit loaded. I once had to email a car park operator to prove I'd actually exited, because the gate didn't record it. That's the kind of mess this technology solves in seconds. Sure, we have RFID, and yes, it links to an app and gets the job done, but it still needs a third thing: the tag and the e-wallet. ANPR doesn't. Your plate is the ID. The system sees it, matches it to your account, and charges you directly. It also has better detection rates. Now, I can drive in and out without thinking twice. The charges appear in the app. Receipts are there if I need them. The process fades into the background, which is exactly where it should be. Clean, fast, forgettable. I've started picking where to park based on whether I have to 'angkat ketiak' to tap my card at the boom gate. — Picture by Sayuti Zainudin But for it to work at scale, we need more than just scattered upgrades. We need a proper system that links everything together, one that gives users a single view of their movements, payments, and any issues that come up. Right now, every mall, toll road, and operator is doing their own thing. As a technologist and, most importantly, a regular Malaysian who loves to drive, I find it hard to ignore how disjointed this still is. We've adopted the hardware, but not the logic of an ecosystem. The potential for smarter integration is sitting right there, not just smoother tolling, but safer roads, easier tracking, and real-time billing. Other countries have figured this out. Like in the UK, there's a national database that supports everything from traffic enforcement to congestion charges. In Singapore, you don't need physical tags or cards, the gantries pick up your plate, calculate the charge based on road conditions, and send you the bill. Parking is seamless. Disputes can be filed in-app. It all works because the systems are designed to speak to each other. We don't need to copy those models exactly but we should be asking the same questions. Why isn't there a single place to view our logs? Why can't we contest a wrong charge instantly, and perhaps, in a centralised system? Why are we still managing five separate platforms for things that involve the same car and the same road? This tech could do more than open gates, it could help track stolen vehicles, monitor congestion, prevent overstays at EV chargers, or simplify entry into restricted areas. But none of that matters if the ecosystem is fragmented and the user is locked out of their own data. We're already being scanned, that part is done. The next step is giving people access, to their movement history, to billing clarity, to some level of control. Without that, it risks becoming just another black box that works until it doesn't. Until then, I'll keep judging malls by how often they make me 'angkat ketiak'. * This is the personal opinion of the writer or publication and does not necessarily represent the views of Malay Mail.

Hong Kong starts building city's first public hydrogen charging system for EVs
HONG KONG: Construction of Hong Kong's first public automatic hydrogen charging system for electric vehicles, set to begin operation in the second quarter of 2026, kicked off on Friday (July 26) at the city's Science Park, signaling a bold step toward a sustainable future. The project, jointly initiated by the Hong Kong and China Gas Co Ltd (Towngas) and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corp (HKSTP), is to serve as a demonstration hub for hydrogen-based EV charging in the city. The new system, which will run automatically, uses hydrogen extracted from the city's gas network to generate electricity for EV charging, producing only water vapor as a byproduct. Chief Executive Officer of HKSTP Albert Wong Hak-keung stressed the growing global momentum behind hydrogen-powered mobility and the importance of practical action in tackling climate change. He said that as hydrogen charging solutions gain traction worldwide, Hong Kong's new system is set to inspire further adoption of clean energy in the city's transport sector. 'This new hydrogen system at Science Park is not only a demonstration of hydrogen's potential for EV charging, but also a catalyst for Hong Kong's green mobility transformation, encouraging more businesses to adopt clean energy,' Wong said. The project's launch comes at a critical time as Hong Kong's appetite for electric vehicles continues to surge. In reply to a query from a local lawmaker on May 14, the government stated that the number of EVs registered in the city has soared to over 110,000, an eightfold increase over the past five years, placing mounting pressure on the city's charging infrastructure. Currently, about seven out of every 10 newly registered private cars in the city are electric private cars, and the growth rate is among the highest in the world. While nearly 100,000 parking spaces now offer EV charging, government officials acknowledge that innovative solutions are needed to keep pace with demand and support Hong Kong's ambitious climate goals. Hydrogen fuel cells, already in use in select transport and construction sectors globally, are now being trialed in Hong Kong as a means to diversify the city's energy sources and reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels. The new system is designed to operate fully automatically, supplying up to five 7-kilowatt charging points daily, and features built-in energy storage to ensure consistent power delivery. Tse Chin-wan, secretary for Environment and Ecology, highlighted Hong Kong's sustainable progress in cutting carbon emissions and the strategic importance of hydrogen energy. He said that the project makes use of the city's extensive gas pipeline network to extract hydrogen, serving as a demonstration for future applications. Tse reaffirmed the government's support for more hydrogen pilot projects, with the goal of making Hong Kong a regional showcase for hydrogen technology. 'As we look to the future, the government will continue to support and encourage the industry to explore more hydrogen pilot and collaborative projects, driving Hong Kong to become a demonstration base for hydrogen technology,' Tse said. 'This pioneering project injects new energy into our goal of building a sustainable, low-carbon city.' - China Daily/ANN

Tokyo's Nikkei leads Asian rally after Japan-US trade deal
HONG KONG, July 23 — Tokyo stocks surged toda after Japan and the United States finally hammered out a trade deal to slash Donald Trump's tariffs, including those on the crucial car sector. Investors were also cheered by news that Washington had reached agreements with Indonesia and the Philippines, stoking optimism that other countries will also follow suit. Despite a lack of deals ahead of Trump's August 1 deadline, equity markets have been on the march in recent weeks on optimism that governments will eventually get over the line. Investor sentiment in Tokyo had been subdued as Japanese trade envoy Ryosei Akazawa travelled seven times to Washington since April in a bid to persuade Trump to scrap the levies. But the US president announced yesterday a 'massive' deal lowering tariffs on some Japanese goods to 15 per cent, down from the threatened 25 per cent. Tokyo also cut a deal to reduce tolls on its autos — a sector accounting for 8 per cent of Japanese jobs — to 15 per cent, compared, with 25 per cent for other countries. 'Japan will invest, at my direction, US$550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits,' Trump said on social media. He did not provide details on the investment plan, but claimed the deal 'will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs.' With car shipments deal in the bag, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said: 'We are the first (country) in the world to reduce tariffs on automobiles and auto parts, with no limits on volume.' Akazawa wrote on social media: 'Mission accomplished.' However, he later said the 50 per cent levies on steel and aluminium were not part of the deal. Traders poured back into the market, pushing the Nikkei up more than 3 per cent to a one-year high thanks to soaring automakers. Toyota rocketed more than 14 per cent, Mitsubishi 13 per cent and Nissan jumped more than 8 per cent. 'With the reciprocal tariff rate at 15 per cent, our base case view that tariffs should have a limited direct impact for most industries in Japan is unchanged,' said Lorraine Tan Morningstar's director of equity research in Asia. 'The key risk remains the indirect impact of slower global demand given ongoing tariff uncertainty.' 'Win not clear-cut' The yen strengthened to 146.20 per dollar — compared with close to 148 yesterday but it lost some weight after a top Bank of Japan official indicated it was not in any rush to hike interest rates. However, analysts were cautious over the agreement. Stefan Angrick at Moody's Analytics warned the deal 'is unlikely to be the final chapter in a saga that has bruised Japan's economy'. 'Japan's apparent 'win' is not that clear-cut; the country faced US tariffs in the low single digits before April and a 10 per cent tariff since mid-April. It's unclear when the new tariff rate will take effect,' he said. 'It's too early to assess the economic ramifications based on the superficial information available at the moment; the most that can be said at this point is that the 15 per cent tariff is worse than what Japan had but better than what was threatened.' Trump also hailed an agreement with Manila to lower the toll on Philippine goods by 1 percentage point to 19 per cent, while tariffs on Indonesia were slashed from 32 per cent to 19 per cent. Shares in Manila and Jakarta rallied. The announcements boosted hopes of other deals before next Friday's deadline, though talks with the European Union and South Korea remain elusive. Still, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he would meet his Chinese counterparts in Stockholm next week, as a separate mid-August deadline approaches for US levies on China to return to steeper levels. Elsewhere in Asia, Hong Kong hit its highest level since late 2021, while Sydney, Singapore and Taipei, Seoul, Mumbai and Bangkok all enjoyed healthy buying interest. Shanghai was flat. London started the day in the green with Paris and Frankfurt. The advances came after a broadly positive day on Wall Street where the S&P 500 hit another peak but the Nasdaq snapped a six-day streak of records. Eyes are also on the release of earnings from Google parent Alphabet and tech giants including Tesla and Intel. — AFP
