Anwar: Proposed carbon tax not hindrance for investors

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim - Photo: Bernama PARIS: As the proposed carbon tax is being finalised, the government today gave an assurance that its implementation will not create a problem for investors. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he knew that the trend towards decarbonisation is strong and compelling. "But I think we have to be very realistic. The proposed carbon tax should not be seen as too problematic at the expense of investing companies,' he said during a question and answer session at the Roundtable Meeting with Captains of Industry in Paris, the capital of France on Friday. Also present were Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, Transport Minister Anthony Loke, Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. Anwar, who is here on a two-day official visit, said the implementation has to be done cautiously and gradually. "We are finalising that in the next few months actually,' he said, adding that they are looking at sectors that are the biggest carbon emitters first. Despite the palm oil industry being an important sector for Malaysia, Anwar said any new plantations on peat soil have been stopped due to its high carbon emissions. The government is planning to introduce the carbon tax in 2026, specifically targeting the iron, steel and energy industries. It is part of the government's broader strategy to promote the use of low-carbon technologies and meet emission reduction goals. Industry leaders who attended the session with the Prime Minister praised the government and the country for providing a good investment climate in Malaysia. On tourism, Anwar said the number of tourists from France visiting Malaysia has increased tremendously. "We have direct flights from Paris now. You can swim the whole year due to our favourable climate,' he quipped, citing the newly introduced Kuala Lumpur-Paris route by Malaysia Airlines. Anwar also assured French companies considering investments in Malaysia or the ASEAN region that both represent some of the fastest-growing and most dynamic economies in the world. - Bernama

Ringgit rebounds slightly as market anticipates mild US tariffs

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit ended marginally higher against the US dollar today, buoyed by growing expectations of a possible compromise on upcoming US tariff measures. At 6 pm, the local note appreciated to 4.2180/2260 against the greenback from Thursday's close of 4.2195/2255. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the modest rebound was partly driven by optimism that Washington may settle on a softer set of tariffs as it nears the finalisation of tariffs for selected countries. "There is speculation that the finalised tariffs could be less severe than the initial proposals announced in early April, which has helped ease some market concerns. "The ringgit was weaker earlier in the session, slipping to 4.2383, but later recovered to as high as 4.2175 during today's session,' he told Bernama. Nonetheless, Mohd Afzanizam noted that overall sentiment remained cautious, with investors staying on the sidelines as they await greater clarity on trade policy directions and their broader implications. At the close, the ringgit traded higher against a basket of major currencies. It rose against the euro to 4.9675/9770 from 4.9756/9827, appreciated against the Japanese yen to 2.9225/9282 from 2.9333/9376, and advanced versus the British pound to 5.7601/7710 from 5.7621/7703 yesterday. The local note traded mixed against its ASEAN counterparts. It improved vis-à-vis the Singapore dollar to 3.3114/3182 from 3.3146/3196, and rose against the Philippine peso to 7.47/7.49 from 7.50/7.51. However, it slipped against the Thai baht to 13.0302/0609 from 13.0211/0457, and shed against the Indonesian rupiah to 260.6/261.2 from 260.5/261.0 previously. - Bernama

MACC liaison officers key to strengthening public engagement

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) communications liaison officers play a vital role in working alongside the Strategic Communications Division to deliver effective and impactful communication. The division's director, Hisyam Mohd Yusoff, said the officers are crucial intermediaries to ensure MACC's messages, delivered through mainstream and social media, are clearly understood and positively received by the public. "We hope that the appointed officers will develop their interest, showcase their talents, and contribute meaningfully to the MACC's communication efforts," he said in a statement. Earlier, Hisyam attended the closing ceremony of the Joint Management Enhancement Programme, which brought together 40 MACC liaison officers from across the country. The three-day programme, which began on July 2, focused on media management techniques and enhanced their skills in preparing news reports and feature articles. Hisyam said the division also plans to conduct writing workshops for MACC officers at the state level later this year. The programme was also guided by Malaysian National News Agency's (Bernama) Features and Current Affairs Desk assistant editor, Erda Khursyiah Basir, who shared techniques on writing effective news reports and feature articles. The training module emphasised the use of clear and concise language to ensure messages are communicated effectively. At the end of the programme, communications liaison officers shared guidelines on news writing formats and styles for internal dissemination and media publication, in line with editorial standards. – Bernama
