Malaysia's current account surplus shrinks to 28-year low
by GLORIA HARRY BEATTY MALAYSIA'S current account surplus sank to just RM0.3 billion, or 0.1% of gross domestic product (GDP), in the second quarter of 2025 (Q225) – the smallest since 1997 – as weaker mining exports and surging imports for electronics and data centres hit the balance of payments. The figure marked a steep drop from RM16.7 billion (3.4% of GDP) in Q125, with the goods account surplus narrowing to RM17.0 billion. The services account deficit improved slightly to RM3.3 billion on higher travel receipts, but the secondary income deficit widened sharply to RM4.6 billion due to lower receipts into the country. Chief Statistician Datuk Sri Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the weaker goods surplus reflected 'planned maintenance activities' in the mining sector and higher capital imports, particularly in E&E products and data centre equipment. He noted that FDI inflows fell to RM1.6 billion from RM15.6 billion in Q125, mainly into the services sector – particularly financial activities and ICT – from Singapore, Japan and the UK. These inflows were partly offset by reinvestment outflows, driven by higher dividend payments and losses by some foreign manufacturers. BNM Governor Datuk Sri Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour stressed the deterioration was 'largely attributable to cyclical factors', including a RM5.1 billion quarter-on-quarter drop in mining-related exports. He said the rise in capital imports tied to data centre projects 'will strengthen our exports in the long term' as these facilities come online, adding that some are already ramping up service exports. He also pointed to continued strength in tourism, with travel receipts jumping to RM95.3 billion in 2024 from RM68 billion in 2023, a trend expected to continue into 2026 with better flight connectivity and the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign. The financial account recorded a much smaller net outflow of RM2.2 billion in Q225, versus RM20.3 billion in Q125, mostly from interbank transactions with overseas financial institutions. Abdul Rasheed said the current account surplus for 2025 is projected at 1.5%–2.5% of GDP, compared to 1.7% in the first half, supported by sustained global demand for E&E, rising data centre services, and inbound tourism.

Explainer: What we know about the MDIO
KUALA LUMPUR: The detention of five Malaysian Defence Intelligence Organisation (MDIO) personnel has put one of the country's most secretive military units in the national spotlight. The five were arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over alleged involvement in a contraband smuggling syndicate. But beyond the headlines, what exactly is MDIO — and why does it matter? The MDIO traces its roots back to the Defence Intelligence Staff Division, established on Oct 1, 1981, to replace the Joint Intelligence Directorate. Its initial mission was clear: to gather and produce intelligence to counter the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) during the Second Malayan Emergency. On Sept 23, 2022, the division underwent a major restructuring and expansion. The then armed forces chief, General Tan Sri Affendi Buang, announced its new name — the Malaysian Defence Intelligence Organisation — and logo, marking a shift towards broader strategic and psychological operations. What the MDIO does? Operating under the armed forces, MDIO's functions go far beyond military spying. They include: 1. Collecting, analysing, and disseminating defence intelligence to counter both internal and external threats. 2. Psychological operations to strengthen public confidence in the government and armed forces. 3. Promoting unity and patriotism across urban and rural communities to encourage cooperation with armed forces and other agencies. 4. Countering harmful ideologies that could undermine Malaysia's security and sovereignty. Structure and leadership The MDIO director-general, currently Lieutenant-General Datuk Razali Alias, reports directly to the armed forces chief, the defence minister, and the National Security Division. Its members comprise those from the intelligence branches of all three services — the army, Royal Malaysian Navy and Royal Malaysian Air Force.
