AI to boost Malaysia's economy with USD113 billion productivity gains
Speaking at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference 2025 in Shanghai, Gobind emphasised the need for global cooperation to ensure AI remains a force for good.
'In this AI-shaped era, collaboration is essential. Only through shared commitment, innovation, and vigilance can we ensure the digital world benefits humanity,' he said.
Malaysia has taken proactive steps in AI governance, including the establishment of the National AI Office (NAIO) last December. As the 2025 ASEAN Chair, the country is also leading the ASEAN AI Safety Network to promote best practices and responsible AI adoption.
Gobind highlighted AI's transformative potential, stating, 'By driving innovation, enhancing decision-making, and optimising resources, AI is accelerating global development.'
Malaysia will host two major AI events this year—the ASEAN AI Malaysia Summit in August and the Smart Cities World Expo Kuala Lumpur in September—bringing together policymakers and industry leaders to discuss digital transformation. - Bernama

Reduction of US tariff rate to 19% a significant achievement, says Zafrul
PETALING JAYA: The reduction in the United States' reciprocal tariff rate from 25% to 19% on Malaysian goods is a significant achievement and displays Malaysia's thorough and methodical negotiating process and strong inter-agency coordination, says Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz. The Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry said the reduced rate was a result of sustained engagement with the United States through various bilateral platforms. "The 19% rate roughly tracks the rate of other countries in the South-East Asian region. "Most importantly, Malaysia stood firm on various 'red line' items, and the 19% tariff rate was achieved without compromising the nation's sovereign right to implement key policies to support the nation's socio-economic stability and growth," he said in a statement on Friday (Aug 1). "To manage the implications of the 19% tariff rate, the ministry will continue to collaborate with other ministries and agencies to cushion the effects on Malaysian exporters," he said, adding efforts would also be made to support small and medium enterprises to adjust to the new tariff rate. Tengku Zafrul pointed out that the United States remains Malaysia's biggest export market valued at RM198.65bil and the top source of foreign investment with approved investments amounting to RM32.82bil in 2024. The 19% US tariff rate takes effect in seven days and applies to goods entering the United States for consumption, with limited exceptions for shipments already in transit. Signed on July 31, 2025, the order amends Executive Order 14257 and imposes revised ad valorem duties on multiple trading partners, including all major Asean nations. Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Cambodia each face a 19% rate, with Vietnam slightly higher at 20%. Singapore continues to receive the lowest tariff rate among Asean nations at 10% but Laos and Myanmar face the highest at 40%.

US tech titan earnings rise on AI as economy roils
Amazon reported a 35% jump in quarterly profits as the e-commerce giant said major investments in AI technology are paying off. (AFP pic) SAN FRANCISCO : Tech giants Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft this week eclipsed earnings expectations, cashing in on artificial intelligence (AI) while navigating economic waters roiled by US tariffs. 'Massive results seen by Microsoft and Meta further validate the use cases and unprecedented spending trajectory for the AI Revolution on both the enterprise and consumer fronts,' Wedbush tech analyst Dan Ives said in a note to investors. 'We have barely scratched the surface of this 4th Industrial Revolution now playing out around the world led by the Big Tech stalwarts such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Palantir, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon,' Ives added. Amazon reported a 35% jump in quarterly profits as the e-commerce giant said major investments in AI technology are paying off. 'Our conviction that AI will change every customer experience is starting to play out,' said chief executive Andy Jassy, pointing to the company's expanded Alexa+ service and new AI shopping agents. However, the Seattle-based company's profit outlook for the current quarter came in lower than hoped for, with investors worried that the cost of AI was weighing on the bottom line. This was despite a stellar second quarter (Q2) that exceeded analyst expectations, much like it did for its AI-focused rivals Google, Microsoft and Meta, which posted bumper results for the period. Amazon's net sales climbed 13%, signaling that the company was so far surviving impacts of the high-tariff trade policy under US President Donald Trump. Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company's world-leading cloud computing division, led the charge with sales jumping 17.5% to US$30.9 billion. Its strong performance reflects surging demand for cloud infrastructure to power AI applications, a trend that has benefited major cloud providers as companies race to adopt generative AI technologies. US$4 trillion club Shares of Microsoft spiked yesterday following blowout quarterly results, lifting the tech giant into the previously unprecedented US$4 trillion club along with Nvidia, another AI standout. The landmark valuation is the latest sign of growing bullishness about an AI investment boom that market watchers believe is still in the early stages – even as companies like Microsoft plan US$100 billion or more in annual capital spending to add new capacity. 'Cloud and AI is the driving force of business transformation across every industry and sector,' said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. At the heart of the results was a stunning surge in Azure, the company's cloud computing platform, which is getting 'supercharged' with AI, said Angelo Zino, technology analyst at CFRA Research. Zino attributed 'just about all of' Microsoft's recent climb in valuation to AI. Superintelligence? Meta reported robust Q2 financial results Wednesday, with revenue jumping 22% year-over-year as the social media giant continues investing heavily in AI. 'We've had a strong quarter both in terms of our business and community,' said CEO Mark Zuckerberg. 'I'm excited to build personal superintelligence for everyone in the world.' Zuckerberg has embarked on a major AI spending spree, poaching top researchers with expensive pay packages from rivals like OpenAI and Apple as he builds a team to pursue what he calls AI superintelligence. Hours before the earnings report, Zuckerberg insisted that the attainment of superintelligence – technology that would theoretically be more powerful than the human brain – is now 'in sight'. Meanwhile Apple, which is seen as lagging in the AI race, beat expectations with earnings driven by strong iPhone sales despite US tariffs costing the company US$800 million in the recently-ended quarter. Apple expects Trump's tariffs to cost the iPhone maker US$1.1 billion in the current quarter. 'The results show that Apple's iPhone strategy is working to offset the impact of looming challenges with AI development timelines, tariff pressures, and Google's antitrust issues,' said Emarketer tech analyst Jacob Bourne. Apple chief executive Tim Cook said on an earnings call that taking the most advanced technologies and making them easy to use is 'at the heart of our AI strategy.' Cook said Apple has been rolling out Apple Intelligence AI features and is 'making good progress on a more personalised Siri'.

Apple revenue forecast beats estimates, tariff costs projected at $1.1 billion
SAN FRANCISCO: Apple forecast revenue for the current quarter ending in September well above Wall Street's estimates on Thursday, sending shares up despite a warning from CEO Tim Cook that U.S. tariffs would add $1.1 billion in costs over the period. As the centerpiece of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war, those tariffs cost Apple $800 million in the June quarter and spurred some customers to buy iPhones in late spring this year. Those purchases helped Apple's fiscal third-quarter sales beat expectations by the biggest percentage in at least four years, according to LSEG. The company still forecast growth, though, with Chief Financial Officer Kevan Parekh saying the company expects revenue growth for the current quarter in the 'mid to high single digits,' which would exceed the 3.27% growth to $98.04 billion that analysts expected, according to LSEG data. Apple reported $94.04 billion in revenue for its fiscal third quarter ended on June 28, up nearly 10% from a year earlier and beating analyst expectations of $89.54 billion, according to LSEG data. Its earnings per share of $1.57 topped expectations for $1.43 per share. Apple shares were up 3% in after-hours trading, extending gains after Apple provided its forecast. Sales of iPhones, the best-selling product for the company based in Cupertino, California, were up 13.5% to $44.58 billion, beating analyst expectations of $40.22 billion. Apple has been shifting production of products bound for the U.S., sourcing iPhones from India and other products such as Macs and Apple Watches from Vietnam. The ultimate tariff rates many Apple products could face remain in flux, and many of its products are currently exempt. Sales in its Americas segment, which includes the U.S. and could face tariff impacts, rose 9.3% to $41.2 billion. In Greater China, where Apple has faced long delays in approval to introduce AI features on its devices, sales were $15.37 billion, up from a year ago and above expectations of $15.12 billion, according to a survey of five analysts from data firm Visible Alpha. That gain was a turnaround from a year-over-year decline in China sales in the March quarter. In a conference call with analysts, Cook said some of that was due to a subsidy program in China to help revive the smartphone market, which boosted some of Apple's products. 'It was the first full quarter of the subsidy playing out,' Cook told analysts. Early purchases In an interview with Reuters, Cook said the company set seasonal records for upgrades of iPhones, Macs and Apple Watches. He said Apple estimates about 1 percentage point of its 9.6% of sales growth in the quarter was attributable to customers making purchases ahead of potential tariffs. 'We saw evidence in the early part of the quarter, specifically, of some pull-ahead related to the tariff announcements,' Cook told Reuters, though he also said the active user base for iPhones hit a record high in all geographies. The U.S. is still negotiating with both China and India, with Trump saying India could face 25% tariffs as early as Friday. However, analysts said India could still retain cost advantages for Apple in the longer term. 'The pull-forward in demand due to tariffs was somewhat expected given the uncertainty around pricing. However, it's important to put this in context as this is typically a slow quarter for Apple, yet they still delivered exceptional results with iPhone growth,' Emarketer analyst Jacob Bourne said. Tariffs are only one of Apple's challenges. The company faces competition from rivals such as Samsung Electronics Co in a tough market for premium-priced mobile phones. On the software front, Apple faces challenges from Alphabet , which is quickly weaving AI features into its competing Android operating system. While AI leaders Microsoft and Nvidia have seen their stock market values soar to record highs, Apple's shares have fallen 17% in 2025, with investors concerned about the impact of tariffs, and about what they view as slow progress integrating AI features into its products. Apple has delayed the release of an AI-enriched version of Siri, its virtual assistant, but Cook said the company is 'making good progress on a personalized Siri.' He also said Apple, which has thus far not engaged in the massive capital expenditures of its Big Tech rivals to pursue AI, is 'significantly growing' its investments in artificial intelligence. 'Apple has always been about taking the most advanced technologies and making them easy to use and accessible for everyone, and that's at the heart of our AI strategy,' Cook said. Apple faces regulatory rulings in Europe that threaten to undermine its lucrative App Store business. Apple said sales from its services business, which includes the App Store as well as music and cloud storage, were $27.42 billion, topping analyst expectations of $26.8 billion. Sales of wearables such as AirPods and Apple Watches were $7.4 billion, missing estimates of $7.82 billion. Mac sales of $8.05 billion beat expectations of $7.26 billion, while iPads hit $6.58 billion in sales, missing expectations of $7.24 billion. Apple said gross margins were 46.5% in the fiscal third quarter, beating analyst expectations of 45.9%, according to LSEG estimates. The company forecast gross margins for the current quarter of 46% to 47%, with the entire range above estimates of 45.9%, according to LSEG data - REUTERS
