Sarawak to upgrade traffic parks to boost road safety education
SIBU: The Sarawak Transport Ministry will upgrade traffic parks across the state as part of efforts to strengthen practical road safety education among school students. State Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin said the six existing traffic parks located in Sibu, Kuching, Sri Aman, Sarikei, Bintulu and Miri have received special allocations to ensure these facilities continue to serve as safe and impactful learning spaces. He said the Rejang Park Traffic Garden here, built over 30 years ago, has been allocated RM350,000 for upgrading works, in line with the ministry's broader effort to restore and strengthen road safety education. "Upgrading these facilities is important so that students can learn and understand traffic rules through real-life experiences that simulate actual road situations," he said when opening the Sarawak Traffic Games (STG) here today. Lee also announced that the ministry plans to increase the number of traffic parks under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), to ensure that every division in Sarawak has at least one fully equipped and functioning traffic park. "We are committed to expanding access to road safety education for more students and rural communities, so that no group is left behind in the effort to nurture responsible road users," he said. Tracing the programme's history, Lee said the Shell Traffic Games, introduced in 1963 through a collaboration between the Sarawak government and Shell Malaysia, had once made a significant impact on public awareness of road safety before being discontinued in 2015. He said the programme was revived and rebranded as the Sarawak Traffic Games last year, beginning in Miri, and has since become an annual event benefiting students throughout the state. He said that the next editions of STG are scheduled to be held in Sri Aman and Bintulu by the end of this year, while today's programme in Sibu involved students from nine primary and secondary schools in the district. – Bernama

Malaysia pushing for 0% tariffs on key commodity exports to US
Malaysia hopes that cocoa and rubber products will be exempted from the 19% tariff imposed by the US. (Envato Elements pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Malaysia will advocate for 0% tariffs on commodities such as cocoa, rubber and palm oil exported to the US which are now subject to 19% duty, says investment, trade and industry minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz. Tengku Zafrul said while Malaysia's semiconductor and pharmaceutical sectors continue to enjoy 0% tariffs, a 19% tariff will be imposed on other goods beginning Aug 8, although discussions are ongoing to further reduce the rate. 'We will continue to engage with the US and provide them with a list of products we believe should be subject to 0% tariffs,' he said at a press conference today. 'These are mostly agricultural products that the US cannot produce, such as cocoa and rubber. We have submitted our list,' he said, adding that a joint Malaysia-US statement on the tariffs is expected to be issued this weekend. Earlier today, the US announced a 19% tariff imposed on Malaysian exports, a reduction from the 25% tariff previously imposed. Asked whether there will be a formal tariff review mechanism built into the arrangement, Tengku Zafrul said he was uncertain whether the matter was discussed during negotiations. No compromise on cars He also said Malaysia had drawn a clear line during negotiations when it came to domestic tax policies, explaining that US negotiators wanted Malaysia to abolish excise duties on automobiles, tobacco and alcohol. 'The automotive sector is very important to the US, (but) that was a 'red line' for us. Among the things we didn't compromise on is the automotive industry. We have our national cars and our automotive industry, which employs 700,000 workers. 'The US was concerned about our import duties on cars and the approved permit (AP) scheme for imported cars. To them, this was not fair,' he said. Tengku Zafrul dismissed claims that the US had made a request for exclusive access to rare earth products from Malaysia. 'I don't know where it is coming from, because there are many speculations. But I can attest that there is no request from the US to exclusively have access to our rare earth (product),' he said. There was no agreement that Malaysia had to exclusively supply rare earth to the US or any other countries, including neighbouring countries or China, he said. Thai-Cambodia dispute On whether recent diplomatic developments may have contributed to the reduction in the tariff rate, Tengku Zafrul said the ceasefire agreement between Cambodia and Thailand likely played a role. On Monday, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that Cambodia and Thailand had agreed to a ceasefire following deadly clashes along their border. The agreement followed a meeting in Putrajaya attended by Anwar, Cambodian prime minister Hun Manet and Thailand's acting prime minister, Phumtham Wechayachai. 'I don't know how much, but it (ceasefire) certainly did help,' said Tengku Zafrul. 'Anwar and Trump did talk about it (during their phone call yesterday) and I feel it (ceasefire) gave a good impression.'
