AI becomes part of daily life for 89pc of Malaysians, Telenor Asia study finds, but users demand ethical safeguards
SHAH ALAM, Aug 14 — Eighty-nine per cent of Malaysian internet users are using artificial intelligence (AI) daily compared with 75 per cent recorded in 2024, a study by Telenor Asia revealed. According to Telenor Asia's 'Digital Lives Decoded 2025: Building Trust in Malaysia's AI future' report released today, the number of AI users opting for financial as well as health and fitness tools has also more than doubled this year. The report highlighted that Malaysian internet users are embracing AI as a powerful tool for productivity, learning, and daily convenience. Today, a quarter of Malaysian internet users intentionally use AI tools multiple times a day, indicating a significant behavioural shift, according to the report. The study, which surveyed 1,000 internet users, also revealed that Malaysians are digitally discerning, are optimistic about AI's potential, but deeply aware of its risks, ethics, fairness, and control. Telenor Group senior vice-president and head of AI, Dr Ieva Martinkenaite, said they expect transparent, inclusive and human-centric AI systems as a baseline, not a luxury. 'For companies, these findings highlight that responsible AI is no longer an optional brand value but a core competitive differentiator. 'Businesses must prioritise responsible data practices, invest in employee upskilling, and foster environments where ethical safeguards are integral to AI-powered innovation,' she said in a panel discussion on the launch of the report today. The report also revealed that 51 per cent of Malaysian internet users now use AI at work, up from 37 per cent in 2024, with top AI applications in the workplace to include analytics (59 per cent), content development (52 per cent), and customer service (45 per cent). According to Martinkenaite, Malaysian-based companies must develop transparent AI strategies, set responsible AI frameworks, and invest in employee education to foster trust and harness AI's full potential. 'Responsible AI is not just a compliance measure; it is a competitive differentiator and a core element for sustainable and inclusive growth,' she added. — Bernama

Gimme Credit: Corporate Bonds Stay Strong as U.S. Tariffs and Consumer Caution Test Market
NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Gimme Credit's latest research shows that leading U.S. corporate issuers are holding firm against escalating tariffs and increasingly cautious consumer spending. Strong balance sheets, diversified operations, and product innovation are proving key to credit stability amid macro volatility. Tariffs and changing consumer demand have raised the stakes for corporate issuers in 2025. Gimme Credit's latest research shows that strategic diversification and disciplined capital management are proving decisive in maintaining credit stability. More from the company's Senior Bond Analysts, below: BorgWarner – Jay Cushing noted the company's 'strong balance sheet and flexible product lineup across combustion, hybrid, and electric platforms' should help it absorb tariff pressures and modest volume declines 'with minimal impact' to its credit profile. JPMorgan Chase – Mark Flanagan said the bank has 'positive momentum into the second half' with diversification and robust capital 'key support factors against any negative turn.' Apple – Dave Novosel reported a 10% revenue gain in fiscal Q3—its fastest growth since early 2022—driven by double-digit gains in iPhone, Mac, and Services, plus a rebound in Greater China. Adani Ports & SEZ Ltd – Saurav Sen said We are not overly concerned [about trade disputes]: most shipments through ADSEZ ports are Europe– and Asia-bound, and crude oil cargo accounts for roughly 10% of volumes. The company should be able to absorb the fallout without materially denting its credit metrics. Gimme Credit's coverage underscores that disciplined capital allocation, innovation and geographic diversity remain powerful buffers for credit quality even as trade policy and consumer trends shift rapidly.

Malaysia has recovered US$7bil in funds linked to 1MDB
1MDB, a state investment fund that took shape under former prime minister Najib Razak, is at the centre of a multi-billion dollar scandal. (Reuters pic) PETALING JAYA : The Malaysian government has recovered RM29.7 billion (US$7 billion) of funds relating to 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and its former unit SRC International Sdn Bhd since the establishment of the Assets Recovery Trust Account, according to the finance ministry. As of the end of July, RM42.17 billion has been channeled to 1MDB to finance debt repayments and fulfill the company's commitments, the finance ministry said in a written parliamentary reply yesterday. 'Of the amount, RM15.44 billion was channeled from the finance ministry and the Minister of Finance Incorporated in the form of shareholder advances or loans, while RM26.73 billion came from the proceeds of 1MDB's asset recovery,' it said. 1MDB, a state investment fund that took shape under former prime minister Najib Razak, is at the centre of a multi-billion dollar scandal that has spawned probes in Asia, the US and Europe. Najib, convicted of crimes linked to 1MDB, is currently serving a prison sentence but is seeking to spend the remainder of it under house arrest. He is expected to be released in 2028. 'The process to recover 1MDB and SRC funds is still ongoing and is a complicated and long process that will take years,' said the finance ministry. 'This is because it not only involves cooperation between several local agencies and foreign agencies from various countries, but also involves legal processes in court and settlement negotiations,' it added. Other findings from the finance ministry's reply are: About RM28.93 billion was used to pay 1MDB's principal debt, while RM13.24 billion was for interest payments and the company's commitments. 1MDB's remaining debt, involving principal and interest payments until 2039 is RM9.02 billion, comprising principal of RM5 billion and interest of RM4.02 billion. For SRC International, RM5.35 billion has been channeled by the government to finance principal, interest on debt and meet the company's commitments.
