How CSR, SDGs and ESG are building a sustainable Malaysia — Dalilawati Zainal
JULY 12 — Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) are increasingly significant in today's business world. These frameworks shape how businesses, governments and societies tackle global challenges, such as climate change and poverty. In Malaysia, they are key to achieving sustainability, working together to drive long-term positive impact. CSR as a pathway to sustainability Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a business model where companies voluntarily integrate social, environmental and ethical concerns into their operations. CSR goes beyond profit-making by contributing positively to society and supporting sustainable development. It includes charity work, environmental initiatives, community development and employee welfare. The key aspect of CSR is its voluntary nature, whereby companies engage in these practices because they align with their values, not due to legal obligations. In Malaysia, CSR has become a crucial part of corporate culture, with businesses contributing to national goals on education, healthcare and environmental conservation, supporting the country's broader sustainability objectives. Employees of agrochemical company Ancom Nylex and its subsidiaries take part in a tree planting exercise at Taman Rekreasi Paya Bakau Kampung Sijangkang, Selangor on February 15, 2025. — Picture courtesy of Ancom Nylex Bhd The SDGs: A global framework for achieving sustainability The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015, consist of 17 global objectives aimed at addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change and environmental degradation by 2030. These goals serve as a universal framework for governments, businesses and civil society to collaborate and drive global sustainability. In Malaysia, the SDGs have been integrated into national policies, aligning efforts to improve healthcare, reduce poverty and combat climate change. Companies aligning their operations with the SDGs help achieve these global goals, driving long-term economic growth while promoting environmental protection and social equity. By contributing to SDGs, businesses also take important steps toward realising a more sustainable future for the country and the world. ESG: A tool for sustainable business practices ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is a set of criteria used by investors to evaluate a company's sustainability practices and ethical impact. ESG focuses on three core areas: environmental (e.g. carbon emissions, waste management), social (e.g. labour practices, community engagement) and governance (e.g. board structure, executive compensation). Unlike CSR, which is internally driven and voluntary, ESG provides measurable and standardised metrics that allow investors to assess a company's performance in these areas. As ESG metrics are increasingly incorporated into investment decisions, companies with strong ESG performance are more likely to attract responsible investment, manage sustainability risks and align with global sustainability goals. In Malaysia, ESG disclosures have become mandatory for publicly listed companies, marking a significant shift toward greater transparency in corporate sustainability and reinforcing its role in achieving national and global sustainability targets. Sustainability as the overarching goal Sustainability serves as the guiding philosophy that connects CSR, SDGs and ESG. It refers to meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. Sustainability encompasses environmental, economic and social dimensions, ensuring that development is both inclusive and environmentally sound. In business, sustainability requires companies to develop long-term strategies that reduce their environmental impact, support social equity and promote economic prosperity. Sustainability is the framework within which CSR, SDGs and ESG operate. While each of these frameworks plays a role, they all contribute to the overarching goal of sustainability, ensuring that businesses and nations work toward a balanced future that benefits both people and the planet. How CSR, SDGs and ESG contribute to sustainability in Malaysia CSR, SDGs and ESG are not isolated concepts. Rather, they are interconnected and complementary pathways to achieving sustainability. CSR initiatives directly contribute to the SDGs by addressing social and environmental challenges, such as health, education and environmental protection. For example, many Malaysian businesses are already implementing CSR programmes aligned with SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth), which support initiatives such as youth skill development and job creation for underserved communities or SDG 4 (Quality education), which focuses on enhancing community education programmes. At the same time, ESG metrics provide businesses with the tools to measure and manage their contributions to sustainability, aligning corporate actions with SDGs. ESG disclosures help companies assess and report their performance on key sustainability indicators such as climate action (SDG 13), gender equality (SDG 5) and responsible consumption (SDG 12). Companies that perform well in ESG reporting are more likely to contribute to SDG targets, such as reducing carbon emissions and promoting fair labour practices. Sustainability, as the broader framework, encompasses all of these efforts, ensuring that CSR, ESG and SDGs are not just individual objectives but are interconnected components of a holistic approach to achieving long-term societal and environmental well-being. In Malaysia, sustainability is at the core of national policy, guiding efforts to reduce carbon emissions, tackle resource depletion and address social inequality. The government's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 is a key example of how Malaysia is integrating sustainability into its development agenda. The Bursa Malaysia ESG Reporting Platform and the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF) play important roles in helping Malaysia integrate CSR, SDGs and ESG to achieve sustainability. The ESG platform, launched in December 2023, requires public listed companies to disclose their ESG performance, ensuring alignment with the SDGs and promoting transparency in corporate sustainability. The NSRF, introduced in September 2024, further strengthens this by guiding companies to adopt standardised sustainability reporting aligned with international standards such as the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. These frameworks foster accountability, enhance risk management and encourage responsible investment, providing clear benchmarks for measuring progress towards Malaysia's sustainable development. In conclusion, CSR, SDGs and ESG are essential drivers of sustainability in Malaysia. With the dedicated ESG Reporting Platform and the NSRF, they collectively support businesses in aligning their operations with global sustainability goals, ensuring long-term growth and societal well-being. * Dalilawati Zainal is with the Department of Accounting, Faculty of Business and Economics, Universiti Malaya.

The hundred-year catch — Abbi Kanthasamy
JULY 12 — I've been rooted in Malaysia since '98. Long enough to understand that everyone here, absolutely everyone, carries an opinion about him. The man who, against every global financial pundit's dire warning, pegged the ringgit. The one who effectively told the IMF to take their austerity sermons and preach them to someone else. He built highways that snaked through the land, brought forth twin towers that seemed to slice the very clouds, and conjured an entire administrative capital from what was once just a stretch of plantation. Depending on who you ask, he was a grand visionary, a ruthless pragmatist, a nation-builder, or something far more complex. But today? Today wasn't about the grand narratives. July 10 marked his hundredth birthday. There's an old saw about meeting your heroes, or your villains. The moment you do, they shed their mythic armor. They stop being convenient symbols and become, simply, painfully human. Yet there I was, walking into what amounted to history's living room, a small offering tucked under my arm: my book, No Boundaries, a rumination on the peculiar beauty of cricket. I wasn't expecting a coronation or a drum roll. What truly disarmed me was this: as I stepped inside, the hundred-year-old man, this titan of Southeast Asian politics, slowly, deliberately, rose to his feet. He offered a handshake that was firm, not fragile, his eyes meeting mine with a surprising, genuine warmth. This was a man who once stood before the United Nations and frankly scolded the West for its double standards, who navigated decades of political intrigue with the precise cunning of a chess grandmaster. And he stood up for me. A quiet, utterly unpretentious gesture from a man who, by any measure, had long since earned the right to be entirely unbothered. It was, in a word, disorienting. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali are seen during a meet and greet with the public at the Perdana Leadership Foundation, Putrajaya, in celebration of his 100th birthday July 10, 2025. — Picture by Raymond Manuel Before arriving, I'd cleared a small culinary detail with his son, a friend: would he be open to some appams for the celebration? 'Yes, please,' came the immediate, enthusiastic reply. 'They all adore the appams from Aliyaa.' And who wouldn't? Hot, sweet, fragrant with coconut, the kind that practically melt the moment they touch your tongue. We brought a small crew to prepare them fresh, because to serve an appam otherwise would be a minor culinary tragedy. After the exchange of the book, he flipped through its pages, his fingers tracing the images and words. Then, without a prompt, he began to spin a yarn. Not about statecraft or global economics, but about cricket. He recalled being a young man, out on the field, when a ball came hurtling towards him. Pure instinct took over. He simply extended his hand and caught it clean. The whole field, he recounted, erupted. They told him he was destined for cricket, that he possessed the reflexes of a natural athlete. He offered a light chuckle, a dry, knowing sound, noting he probably ended up a better politician in the end. He painted the scene with such vividness, I could almost conjure the echo of his teammates' laughter across the decades. I could practically feel the sun glinting off old bat handles, sense the raw, electric rush of youth coursing through veins that now pulsed slower, yes, but still thrummed with a century of memory, hard-won wisdom, and the immeasurable, often brutal, weight of leadership. In those few minutes, he managed to put me entirely at ease. Perhaps that's the quiet artistry of a formidable politician — the innate ability to forge an instant connection, to make you feel, for that fleeting moment, like you're the sole, most important person in the room. But this exchange didn't feel like a political manoeuvre. It felt, unvarnished and undeniable, human. I requested a portrait. He nodded, and again, rose, straightening slightly, a silent request to look his best. I didn't linger. Just two swift, quiet clicks of the camera. I had no desire to intrude further on his family's private moment, no wish to pierce the simple, profound peace that settled over that room — the soft murmur of conversation, the gentle clinking of plates, an old man settling back into his chair, my book about cricket resting in his hands. As I stepped back into the Kuala Lumpur night, I reflected on the man I'd just encountered. Over a century of life, he'd been branded with a multitude of labels: leader, statesman, visionary, sometimes even a controversial figure. But in that room, at that advanced age, he was none of those things. He was simply a man. A grandfather, a father, an elder. A man who, a lifetime ago, caught a cricket ball, and perhaps, in that singular, perfect second, truly believed anything was possible. And maybe, just maybe, that's the true measure of a life well-lived: not just the monumental achievements, but the enduring belief, even in the smallest of moments, that you can truly catch whatever life throws at you. And then, with quiet determination, spending a lifetime proving it. Not just to yourself, but to everyone watching. * This is the personal opinion of the writer or publication and does not necessarily represent the views of Malay Mail.

MCMC identifies 10 instruments to support Online Safety Act rollout, says deputy minister
PETALING JAYA, July 12 — The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has identified 10 subsidiary instruments, including regulations and codes, to facilitate the effective implementation of the Online Safety Act 2024, says Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching. She said that the instruments were at various stages of development, with prioritisation guided by the need to ensure alignment with the act's objectives and scope. According to Teo, the development of the regulations is contingent upon completion of the Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) by the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC), followed by approval from the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC). 'MCMC anticipates completing the development of the subsidiary instruments between Q4 2025 and Q2 2026, subject to the complexity and readiness of each item,' she said at The Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) 30th Anniversary celebration here tonight. Also present at the event were the 8th Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Penang, Datuk Seri Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak, MBR chairman Datuk Seri Dr Michael Tio, MBR chief excecutive officer (CEO) Christopher Wong, Bernama CEO Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin and Bernama Head of TV, Nor Hamzeela Md Hambali. Meanwhile, during her speech, Teo said MBR would be certifying a new national entry for a book on child sexual grooming by Mohamed Nazri Prem Nasir on Aug 2 at the University of Malaya. She said child sexual grooming was one of the core concerns addressed under the Online Safety Act 2024, a landmark legislation aimed at creating a safer digital space, especially for young and vulnerable users. Teo also mentioned MBR's upcoming 13-episode television series, Malaysia Luar Biasa, produced in collaboration with Bernama, noting that the programme would spotlight 30 to 40 national records featuring extraordinary Malaysians. 'Notably, the programme will debut during the National Day celebration week, making it even more special as we honour not just our nation's independence but also the spirit, resilience, and excellence of Malaysians who have made their mark. 'It's a timely reminder that patriotism can be expressed through achievement and that greatness can come from every corner of our beloved country,' she said. The programme will officially premiere on August 26, 2025, at 8.30 pm on Bernama TV (Astro 502). Teo said the significant milestone would add to Bernama's inspiring achievements, which also included a record in MBR for its participation in the 'Longest Non-Stop Multi-language National Broadcast.' She said Bernama TV, then known as Bernama News Channel (BNC), was one of the key platforms delivering the historic 25-hour non-stop national broadcast in four languages, held from Sept 16 to 17, 2019, in conjunction with Malaysia Day. Meanwhile, Teo also lauded the National Information Dissemination Centre's (NADI) achievements at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Awards 2025 in Geneva earlier this week, through its Pulau Banggi Initiative and Pulau Ketam Stingray II Project. She said as of June 30, a total of 1,097 NADI centres had been successfully established out of the 1,099 planned nationwide, while the remaining two centres in Sabah were in the final stages of implementation. 'This near-complete rollout is a testament to the Government's commitment to digital inclusivity and ensuring that no one is left behind,' she said. — Bernama
