Hundreds flock to ACS hall to support KAA fundraising food fair
KUCHING (July 13): The Association of Churches hall at Jalan Stampin here was filled with hundreds of visitors who showed their support for the Autism Food Fair 2025 organised by the Kuching Autistic Association (KAA).
The annual fundraising programme featured over 85 stalls this year, selling a variety of products and food, as well as stage performances by autistic children and enthusiastic volunteers.
KAA in a statement said this was its biggest fundraising event of the year.

'Each year, KAA targets around RM750,000 to cover the centre's operational costs and due to limited space of our current centre, we have a long waiting list of students seeking enrolment.
'Our new building is set to be completed in Q1 of next year, allowing KAA to accommodate more students. Autism is a lifelong condition—at our centre, we strive every day to improve the quality of life for individuals with autism by providing therapy, daily living skills training and nurturing their unique talents,' it said.
The event was officiated by KAA patron Dato Dayang Morliah Awang Daud, and also present were KAA president Dr Catherine Chen and organising and fundraising committee chairperson Connie Yeo.

Lawyer fails in appeal to restore libel judgment entered against Allianz
Lawyer fails in appeal to restore libel judgment entered against Allianz PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has unanimously upheld an appeals court decision, ruling that an email circulated by Allianz General Insurance to multiple recipients eight years ago did not defame a lawyer. Presiding over a three-member panel, Chief Judge of Malaya Hasnah Hashim said S Siva Subramaniam's appeal lacked merit, leaving the apex court no reason to disturb the Court of Appeal's findings. Advertisement Dismissing the appeal with costs of RM50,000, Hasnah said there was no need for the panel to address the sole question of law framed when leave to appeal was granted. That question involved a consideration of whether the 'reasonable test' in defamation law required the court to consider evidence from the actual recipients of an alleged defamatory publication, especially if they belong to a specialised profession. SPONSORED CONTENT Also on the panel hearing the appeal were Justices Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera and Lee Swee Seng. Lawyers Cecil Abraham, Rishwant Singh and Chia Eng Yi appeared for Siva, while Terence Chan, Tan Keng Teck, Yeap Xi Jin and Oh Kei Zuin acted for the insurance firm. Advertisement Earlier this year, the Court of Appeal set aside judgment entered by the Penang High Court in Siva's favour, ruling that although the email had singled him out for mention, Allianz's defence of justification succeeded as the impugned words were true. Siva had asserted that the email had damaged his reputation by implying that he was a confidence trickster. Advertisement 'What is important is whether what was conveyed can reasonably be construed in a libellous sense. We do not think so. 'Alternatively, in the event the impugned email is defamatory, we hold that the words contained therein are true in substance, and the defence of justification succeeds,' Nantha Balan said in his 70-page judgment. He sat with Justices Nazlan Ghazali and Choo Kah Sing. In the impugned email, Allianz's senior claims manager, Frances Joycelyn Nathan, had said: 'The above lawyer (Siva) is assessing claims without the defendant's lawyer appointed.' Frances, who worked under the head of Allianz's claims division at the time, Jayapragash Amblavanar, had sent out the email dated Dec 15, 2017 to the insurance company's employees and to its panel of lawyers handling accident cases. The appeals court also ruled that the impugned email was issued by Allianz on an occasion of qualified privilege. Nantha Balan said Frances was under a duty to disclose the information to the insurance company's claims examiners and its panel of solicitors. He said any reasonable tribunal would have concluded that Frances's sole reason for sending out the impugned email was to protect the insurance company's interests by risk-managing the situation. This, he said, was particularly necessary given the plaintiff's 'tendency to serve (cause papers in a running down case) directly on the insured'. 'Hence the impugned email was in line with (Allianz's) instructions to their panel (of) lawyers to protect their interests.' The Court of Appeal ordered Siva to refund to Allianz the sum of RM371,424.66 and costs of RM52,000 previously paid to him under the High Court's judgment.

How Malaysians are growing old and going broke
With a population rapidly ageing, and a fall in birth rates leading to a contracting tax base, the fear that future retirees may not have enough to get by is rising. – AI IMAGE PETALING JAYA (Aug 7): Concerns with readiness for retirement are intensifying, just three years after the government first allowed people to dip into their nest egg to get through job losses during the Covid-19 pandemic. Employees Provident Fund (EPF) CEO Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn couldn't have stressed the point more succinctly in his call for prompt measures to be taken to ensure Malaysians are both financially and socially prepared for longer lifespans. Every projection now indicates that life expectancy could reach 81 years by 2050, just a quarter of a century away. With a population rapidly ageing, and a fall in birth rates leading to a contracting tax base, the fear that future retirees may not have enough to get by is rising. FMT takes a look at the escalating challenges of retirement affordability in Malaysia and how potential reforms today can secure workers' financial future tomorrow. Overview of Malaysia's retirement savings system Malaysia's primary retirement mechanism is EPF, a defined contribution (DC) scheme where individual and employer contributions, alongside investment returns, constitute an employee's retirement savings. A legacy defined benefit (DB) pension that ensures monthly payments based on final salary and tenure remains in effect for civil servants. The DB model, though secure for beneficiaries, imposes substantial long-term costs on public finances. Conversely, the DC approach is increasingly regarded as more sustainable globally, as it transfers investment and longevity risk away from the government, offers individuals enhanced control and portability, and presents fewer fiscal management challenges. Impact of Covid‑19 withdrawals Economic volatility of recent years has put the predictability of the DC model to the test. More than 8.1 million EPF contributors withdrew over RM145 billion from their savings during the pandemic, often to offset job losses or settle debts. Many have almost or entirely emptied out their reserves, with half of those aged 55 and below having been left with less than RM10,000 each. The median balance now stands at only RM10,898. Rising life expectancy The concerns are compounded by the fact that Malaysians now live longer. Men now average 74.8 years and women 78.9 years, up from 68.7 years for men and 73.4 years for women in 1990. If one retires at 60, and assuming he or she needs RM1,500 a month to sustain a decent life, he will need at least RM360,000 in the bank to last him up to two decades. However, as of 2023, nearly 74 per cent of active EPF members had accumulated less than RM100,000 each, which is insufficient for even five to six years – without considering escalating healthcare and elderly care costs. Demographic and fiscal challenges As birth rates fall, the tax base is shrinking, making it unsustainable to continue with a DB pension system. Malaysia's tax-to-GDP ratio was just 12.6% in 2023, far below the Asia-Pacific average of 19.3 per cent and the OECD average of 34 per cent. At the same time, the country's life birth rate fell by 10.2 per cent to 100,732 in Q2 2024 compared with the previous corresponding period, according to data from the department of statistics. If this trend continues, there will be fewer taxpayers and EPF contributors going forward, slowing fund growth just as more people join the ranks of retirees. In contrast, countries with generous DB pensions can sustain their retirees because they collect higher taxes and have built a large reserve. On the other hand, Malaysia has limited tax revenue and a smaller reserve, making it impossible to sustain a fully tax-funded pay-as-you-go pension scheme without major reform. Potential solutions To safeguard against the risk of exhausting retirement reserves, Malaysia must promote greater financial literacy, enhance saving incentives, develop a modest social safety net, and establish integrated aged-care facilities to support its ageing population. Introducing a hybrid pension scheme could restore some benefits of the former DB system while retaining sustainability. Within this framework, employees would continue contributing to their EPF accounts. However, upon retirement, only a portion could be withdrawn as a lump sum, with the remainder distributed as monthly payments throughout their lifetime. Such an arrangement partially reinstates the protective features of the legacy civil-service pension – a guaranteed lifelong minimum income – while avoiding the fiscal strain of a fully tax-funded model. Singapore's CPF Life serves as a relevant example, blending personal savings with lifelong payouts to prevent retirees from outliving their resources. This proposed hybrid reform holds promise for ensuring retirees maintain a basic standard of living, even if individual savings are depleted. Moreover, initiatives aimed at bolstering financial education and facilitating easier EPF top-ups – whether through matching contributions, tax incentives, or voluntary programmes – could meaningfully replenish and grow retirement savings. Urgency is mounting for comprehensive reform. By integrating individual responsibility with inter-generational support, Malaysia can help ensure that today's workers do not become tomorrow's financially vulnerable retirees. *This article was first published by epf reform retirees savings social protection
