International trade must be transparent, predictable
KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Xinhua) -- International trade must be governed by transparent rules and legal predictability, not by unilateralism or coercive economic measures, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said here on Thursday. In his keynote speech at the 38th Asia-Pacific Roundtable (APR) held in Kuala Lumpur, Anwar said that strengthening multilateralism through ASEAN and engaging with a diverse range of partners, such as China, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and BRICS, will help countries seeking constructive cooperation to weather the storm of geopolitical tensions. "The imposition of unilateral tariffs by the U.S. is a significant challenge to our nation and the region as we are deeply plugged into global supply chains. International trade must be governed by transparent rules and legal predictability, not by unilateralism or coercive economic measures," he said. "Malaysia's strategy of active non-alignment is a deliberate and principled framework, designed to maximize strategic flexibility, preserve decision-making autonomy, and engage all partners on our own terms... Malaysia has reached out to like-minded partners in the Global South to bridge regions, build collective resolve and promote shared prosperity," he added. Anwar also stressed the importance of avoiding bloc confrontation, emphasizing that dialogue and engagement are the only ways to ensure continued economic growth and stable relations between nations. "The future of this region lies not in hardened blocs or fragile balances, but in a security architecture that is inclusive, predictable, and anchored in rules, one in which active non-alignment is not merely tolerated but enabled to thrive," he said. The APR, which runs from June 17 to June 19, is the signature international conference of the Institute of Strategic and International Studies Malaysia.

Malaysia Eyes Greater Global Collaboration As Guest Country Of Honour At 2025 BIBF
KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's participation as the Guest Country of Honour at the 2025 Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) is expected to create greater opportunities for collaboration with various international parties. Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said the number of Malaysian industry players participating in the book fair has increased consistently over the past decade. 'We hope that with the opportunity given this year, we can forge more partnerships with various parties from across the globe,' he was quoted as saying by People's Daily Online today. Wong, who is leading the Malaysian delegation at the book fair, said the Malaysian Institute of Translation and Books (ITBM) is partnering with China-based Global Tone Communication Technology (GTCOM) to develop a national-level artificial intelligence (AI)-powered translation engine. He said the collaboration between ITBM - an agency under the Education Ministry (MOE) - and GTCOM is expected to drive the advancement of AI while preserving Malaysia's cultural and linguistic heritage, and bring a positive impact to the country's translation and intellectual communities. 'This initiative will certainly facilitate multilingual communication and support inclusive education policies and the development of a highly skilled talent base, particularly in the fields of language and translation. 'The MOE will continue to support this initiative, which is set to contribute significantly to the advancement of national technology and education,' he said, adding that this effort aligns with the government's goal to enhance Malaysia's global competitiveness. Meanwhile, Malaysia's Ambassador to China Datuk Norman Muhamad, in his keynote address at the launch of the Malaysia Pavilion at BIBF, said the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) would collaborate with the National Book Council of Malaysia, Perbadanan Kota Buku and industry players to explore new opportunities, especially in digital publishing. He said this includes leveraging e-commerce, education and traditional retail platforms in China, adding that the Malaysian Embassy, through its Education Office in Beijing, is committed to supporting efforts to expand Malaysia's publishing footprint in the Chinese market.

Astro posts 1Q net profit of RM13.5mil
PETALING JAYA: Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd (Astro) said its biggest threat is content piracy, which it has continued to fight hard against. In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, the content and entertainment company said it will continue to lobby for more regulatory reforms and enforcement activity not just to protect itself, but to safeguard the future of the Malaysian creative industry. 'Across Malaysia, courts have recently ruled in our favour with landmark decisions in the last twelve months, awarding Astro statutory damages and imposing tougher penalties on illegal streaming device (ISD) sellers and errant F&B outlets who illegally stream our content,' it said. The company added that given the challenging environment, it will continue to maintain a cautious outlook, carefully monitoring business conditions and ensuring effective cost discipline as consumers and businesses digest the impact of internal reforms and external uncertainties. For the first quarter ended April 30, 2025, Astro Malaysia recorded a lower revenue of RM703.1mil, compared to the RM772.5mil recorded for the same quarter a year ago. Subsequently, this also drove down its profit, registering at RM13.45mil compared to RM17mil in the same quarter last year. According to Astro, the decrease in both revenue and profit was due to a reduction in subscription and advertising revenue. The lower figures was also attributed to decreased earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation, which were offset by lower net financing costs, favourable unrealised foreign exchange arising from unhedged lease liabilities, as well as reduced amortisation of intangible assets and tax expense. For television, revenue for the quarter under review fell 7.9% to RM670mil while radio's revenue also dropped 27.3% due to soft consumer sentiments leading to lower advertising spend. It also said its total liabilities had decreased by RM110mil on the back of lower borrowings by RM118mil and payables by RM44mil, offset by higher tax liabilities by RM34.2mil and derivative financial instruments by RM12.2mil. Moving forward, the company said its investments will continue to be firmly focused on long-term and sustainable growth by elevating local content, while increasing the volume and diversity of content in lower tiers. These will be coupled with reducing entry pricing for Astro and sooka products, with the intent to grow its base. 'Astro will also increase the uptake of its adjacent businesses and transform legacy structures to support all the other strategies,' the group said. Its board did not declare any interim dividend in respect of the first quarter ended April 30, 2025. At market close, Astro Malaysia's share price was recorded at 17.5 sen with a market capitalisation of RM913.33mil.
