Mitsubishi Electric donates 7.4m Japanese yen for Myanmar quake relief
KUALA LUMPUR: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has donated a total of 7.4 million Japanese yen to support relief efforts for victims of the earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28 through its in-house matching-gift initiative, the Mitsubishi Electric SOCIO-ROOTS Fund. (100 Japanese yen = RM2.95)
In a statement, the company said donations were collected from employees across Mitsubishi Electric Group offices, amounting to 3.7 million Japanese yen, which was then matched by the company.
The full amount was donated on May 30 to Save the Children Japan's disaster response programme in Myanmar.
The latest contribution follows a separate 10 million Japanese yen corporate donation announced by the company on April 7.
The Mitsubishi Electric Group extends its deepest sympathies to those affected by the disaster and expresses its sincere hopes for a swift recovery.
Established in 1992, the SOCIO-ROOTS Fund allows Mitsubishi Electric employees in Japan — and occasionally worldwide — to support welfare-related facilities and programmes, as the fund is part of the group's commitment to social responsibility and community support.

Japan curry shops see record bankruptcies as rice prices soar
Prices of mainstay ingredients in Japanese curry, such as rice and spices, have gone up due to a rice shortage, adverse weather and a weak yen. -- PHOTO: ST FILE TOKYO (Bloomberg): A record number of curry shops in Japan went out of business in the past year, as purveyors of one of the country's most beloved dishes took a hit from soaring rice prices. Thirteen curry shops with more than ¥10 million (US$70,000) in debt filed for bankruptcy in the year ending in March - marking a record high for the second consecutive year, according to a report from Tokyo-based research firm Teikoku Databank. The total number of bankruptcies is likely much higher when considering smaller mom-and-pop shops, Teikoku said. Prices of mainstay ingredients in Japanese curry - such as rice, spices, meat and vegetables - have gone up due to a rice shortage, adverse weather and a weak yen, the report said. Higher energy prices have also dented the profits of shop operators. Japanese curry, a thick brown sauce containing meat and vegetables, is usually served on a bed of rice. A basic curry rice dish, a classic comfort food, now costs ¥365 ($2.50) - a record high, according to Teikoku. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's government has been scrambling to combat skyrocketing rice prices in Japan by releasing stockpiles of the staple ahead of a summer election. During the coronavirus pandemic, takeout and delivery orders had fueled a curry boom - that has now also slowed and hurt sales for curry shops, Teikoku said. -- ©2025 Bloomberg L.P.

Moody's cuts Nissan corporate family rating to Ba2
TOKYO: Global ratings agency Moody's on Friday cut Nissan Motor Co Ltd's corporate family rating to Ba2 from Ba1, as the embattled Japanese automaker seeks to push through a turnaround. The outlook remains negative, Moody's said. 'The downgrade reflects the deterioration and expectation for continuing weakness in Nissan's credit profile, most notably in its automotive free cash flow and EBIT margin,' Dean Enjo, Moody's ratings vice president and senior analyst, said in a statement. Japan's third-biggest automaker last month unveiled sweeping new cost cuts, saying it would reduce its workforce by around 15% and cut production plants to 10 from 17 globally, as performance in its key markets continues to come under pressure.

Japan's ispace fails again: Resilience lander crashes on moon
TOKYO: Japanese company ispace said its uncrewed moon lander likely crashed onto the lunar surface during its touchdown attempt on Friday, marking another failure two years after an unsuccessful inaugural mission. Tokyo-based ispace had hoped to join U.S. firms Intuitive Machines and Firefly Aerospace in making successful commercial moon landings amid a global race that includes state-run lunar missions from China and India. Although the failure means another multi-year pause in Japan's commercial access to the moon, the country remains committed to the U.S.-led Artemis program and a wide range of Japanese companies are studying lunar exploration as a business frontier. Resilience, ispace's second lunar lander, had problems measuring its distance to the surface and could not slow its descent fast enough, the company said, adding it has not been able to communicate with Resilience after a likely hard landing. 'Truly diverse scenarios were possible, including issues with the propulsion system, software or hardware, especially with sensors,' ispace Chief Technology Officer Ryo Ujiie told a press conference. A room of more than 500 ispace employees, shareholders, sponsors and government officials abruptly grew silent when flight data was lost less than two minutes before the scheduled touchdown time during a public viewing event at mission partner Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp in the wee hours in Tokyo. Shares of ispace were untraded, overwhelmed by sell orders, and looked set to close at the daily limit-low, which would mark a 29% fall. As of the close of Thursday, ispace had a market capitalisation of more than 110 billion yen ($766 million). 'We're not facing any immediate financial deterioration or distress because of the event,' CFO Jumpei Nozaki said in the press conference, citing recurring investor support. In 2023, ispace's first lander crashed into the moon's surface due to inaccurate recognition of its altitude. Software remedies have been implemented, while the hardware design was mostly unchanged in Resilience. $16 MILLION PAYLOAD Resilience was carrying a four-wheeled rover built by ispace's Luxembourg subsidiary and five external payloads worth a total of $16 million, including scientific instruments from Japanese firms and a Taiwanese university. The lander had targeted Mare Frigoris, a basaltic plain about 900 km (560 miles) from the moon's north pole. If the landing had been successful, the 2.3-metre-high lander and the rover would have begun 14 days of planned exploration activities, including capturing of regolith, the moon's fine-grained surface material, on a contract with U.S. space agency NASA. Resilience in January shared a SpaceX rocket launch with Firefly's Blue Ghost lander, which took a faster trajectory to the moon and touched down successfully in March. Intuitive Machines, which last year marked the world's first commercial lunar touchdown, also landed its second Athena lander in March, although in a toppled position just as with its first mission. Japan last year became the world's fifth country to achieve a soft lunar landing after the former Soviet Union, the United States, China and India, when the national Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency achieved the touchdown of its SLIM lander. The government last year signed an agreement with NASA to include Japanese astronauts in Artemis lunar missions and has supported private companies' research projects for future lunar development, assuming ispace's transportation capabilities. 'Expectations for ispace have not faded,' Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said in an X post. Although ispace will likely remain Japan's most advanced lunar transportation company, some Japanese firms may start to consider transport options from foreign entities to test their lunar exploration visions, said Ritsumeikan University professor Kazuto Saiki, who was involved in the SLIM mission. For its third mission in 2027, ispace's U.S. unit is building a bigger lander as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services for the Artemis program. The company projects six more missions in the U.S. and Japan through 2029. 'NASA increasingly needs private companies to improve cost efficiency for key missions with limited budgets,' ispace CEO Takeshi Hakamada said, referring to U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed budget cuts. 'To meet NASA's expectations, we'll support our U.S. subsidiary to keep up with development and play a role.' ($1 = 143.5600 yen)
