Ringgit Strengthens Against Us Dollar Amid Tariff Shock Effects
By Engku Shariful Azni Engku Ab Latif KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 (Bernama) -- The ringgit continued to strengthen against the US dollar at opening today, driven by tariff shocks that are expected to negatively impact the US economy, said an analyst. At 8.04 am, the local note rose to 4.2100/2410 versus the greenback from Friday's close of 4.2285/2345. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the recent tax cut legislation passed by the US House of Representatives is expected to widen the fiscal deficit and increase government debt levels. 'The sovereign rating downgrade by Moody's Ratings, which occurred prior to the legislation's approval, has pushed US Treasury yields higher, with 30-year bonds exceeding the 5.0 per cent mark, making borrowing more expensive. 'As a result, markets are now at a critical crossroads, as the US dollar, traditionally seen as a safe-haven currency, is having that status revisited,' he told Bernama. As such, the ringgit is expected to remain positive in light of the weak US dollar, he added. Mohd Afzanizam said the current US$/RM support and resistance levels are at 4.0942 and 4.2624, respectively. "Assuming the ringgit strengthens by a further 0.5 per cent this week, the US$/RM pair could settle around 4.2103, within a range of 4.22 to 4.23," he said.

Malaysian PM Anwar highlights Vietnam's key role in Asean
KUALA LUMPUR/HANOI (Bernama-VNA): Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has described Vietnam as a very significant member within the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean), while speaking to Vietnam News Agency (VNA) correspondents in Kuala Lumpur. PM Anwar said both Malaysia and he personally value the progress made in cooperation between the two countries. Talking about Vietnam's role within the bloc, the PM noted that he maintains regular contact with Vietnamese leaders to exchange views on Asean-related issues, including the US's new tariff policy and the situation in Myanmar. Malaysia and Vietnam are working closely together on these issues, he said, noting that Vietnam supports Malaysia's initiative to promote the Asean Power Grid. Reflecting on the growing relationship between the two countries, especially after it was elevated to a comprehensive strategic partnership in November 2024, Anwar said there have already been clear results in several fields. He cited enhanced bilateral trade and investment cooperation, including the collaboration between the two countries' national oil and gas corporations. Addressing the remaining challenges, the Malaysian leader expressed confidence that the two countries are always willing to find solutions together. Malaysian experts have also shared insights into Vietnam's growing role within Asean. Speaking to the VNA, Dr. Oh Ei Sun, Principal Adviser at Malaysia's Pacific Research Centre, described Vietnam as a dynamic and effective participant at the recent ASsean Summit in Kuala Lumpur. He noted that the Vietnamese Prime Minister, in his address at the summit, outlined three key focuses, with a strong emphasis on the need for Asean to adopt a development mindset grounded in inclusiveness. The expert stressed this was a crucial point, highlighting Vietnam as an example. Over the past two to three decades, the country has made a remarkable leap - from a peripheral player to a central and increasingly influential member of Asean. This, he said, demonstrates the importance of ensuring all member states, regardless of their level of development, can engage fully and effectively in the bloc. Citing Vietnam's experience, he expressed confidence that less developed members could also rise with support from stronger economies within Asean. Beyond inclusiveness, Oh said the Vietnamese PM also underlined the importance of connectivity. Thanks to its important location, Vietnam plays a crucial role in linking Southeast Asia's shipping routes and is expected to contribute significantly to the region's railway network. In terms of resilience, he commended the PM for addressing the issue at a right time. With a large and young population and strong rice production capacity, Vietnam has the potential to boost exports to other Asean countries, including Malaysia. He added that Asean members could learn valuable lessons regarding food and energy security from Vietnam. The expert added that the Vietnamese PM's speech on inclusiveness, connectivity, and resilience was relevant and useful to Asean members at this year's summit. Regarding Malaysia-Vietnam relations, Dr Oh highlighted the two countries's elevation of their bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in last November, saying it is a timely decision and the relations have been witnessing many positive changes. Specifically, more and more Vietnamese students pursue studies at universities in Malaysia; bilateral trade is also on the rise; the two countries coordinate effectively, and make contributions to the development of Asean. More importantly, both countries support the admission of Timor-Leste as a new Asean member, as well as assist to develop its economy. Sharing the same view with Dr Oh on Vietnam's role in Asean, Collins Chong Yew Keat, an expert on foreign affairs and security at the University of Malaya, affirmed that Vietnam has a very positive influence on the development of Asean with its great contributions in many fields. Vietnam is currently playing an active role in promoting energy transition, digital transformation and ensuring food security. This is a great support for all other Asean members as well as the bilateral relationship between Vietnam and Malaysia. Chong emphasised that it is clear that Vietnam's role in Asean's development as well as building a stronger, more resilient, more inclusive and sustainable Asean in all areas. This is reflected in Vietnam's spectacular and transformational economic growth rate, improving people's lives as well as its determination to move towards a digital economy, a green economy, and sustainable development. He expressed his belief that Vietnam will be one of the leading countries in Asean and together with other members, including Malaysia, promote the common agenda of a more prosperous, inclusive, unified Asean with peace, stability and safety. -- BERNAMA-VNA

No Permit Needed For Usage Of Cooking Gas Not Exceeding 42 Kg
KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has once again clarified that the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or cooking gas in a subsidised gas cylinder not exceeding 42 kilogrammes (kg) or three subsidised gas cylinders of 14 kg at one time does not require a Scheduled Controlled Goods Permit (PBKB). Its director-general of enforcement, Datuk Azman Adam said however, businesses that use LPG exceeding 42 kg at a time are advised to apply for a PBKB via the Business Licensing Electronic Support System (BLESS) 2.0. "The existing legal provisions under the Control of Supplies Act (Amendment) 2021 which have been in effect since Oct 15, 2021, outline that the use of LPG exceeding 42 kg requires the application for a PBKB)," he said in a statement today. Accordingly, he said, throughout the KPDN's Cooking Gas Operation (Ops Gasak) from May 1 to Oct 31, no legal action will be taken against food and beverage (F&B) sales businesses regarding the requirement to have a PBKB for LPG. Instead, the inspection is only at the advocacy, review, and notification stage of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. "At the same time, throughout Ops Gasak, LPG suppliers are allowed to continue to supply subsidised LPG cylinders to existing customers including F&B service traders even though they do not yet have a PBKB," he also said. Yesterday, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said that any party who does not use LPG cylinders exceeding three 14-kg cylinders or more than 42 kg at any one time, does not need to worry as they are not subject to the regulations to apply for a scheduled goods permit. In this regard, based on the 2021 Regulation, he said that eateries or food shops that do not store or use subsidised LPG cylinders not exceeding three cylinders at any one time are not required to have a scheduled controlled goods permit. -- BERNAMA
