Port of Tanjung Pelepas on record-breaking streak
ISKANDAR PUTERI: Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), a joint venture between Malaysia-based MMC Group and Netherlands-based APM Terminals set a new benchmark by handling 1,269,389 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in a single month for May 2025.
This achievement followed PTP's previous monthly records of 1,183,759 TEUs in March and 1,215,751 TEUs in April this year, marking three consecutive monthly records.
PTP chairman Tan Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh said the latest milestone surpasses the April record by 53,000 TEUs.
'By seamlessly managing such substantial cargo volumes, we are consistently delivering exceptional service to our valued customers and partners, while contributing to Malaysia's economic growth.'
'This milestone goes beyond a display of our ability to push limits; it reflects the strong and promising collaboration we have with every single one of our truly valued customers at this leading transshipment hub, including the newly established Gemini Cooperation between Maersk and Hapag Lloyd,' PTP CEO Mark Hardiman said.
PTP serves as the key Asian hub within the Gemini Cooperation, playing a pivotal role in supporting the success of this global partnership.
'At PTP, we are committed to maintaining consistently high productivity, even as volumes grow and demands intensify, such as those from the Gemini Cooperation network.
'This stability adds significant value for our customers, and ensuring schedule reliability remains at the heart of our service commitment,' said Hardiman.
He said that PTP's sustainable growth journey is demonstrated through their focused investments in asset upgrades and infrastructure enhancements.
'These initiatives are closely aligned with our environmental, social and governance agenda, safety policies and digitalisation strategy. Such efforts have enabled PTP to navigate global challenges effectively while driving continuous improvement and expansion.'

Stablecoin firm Circle scales record high after blockbuster NYSE listing
Jeremy Allaire, CEO and co-founder of Circle Internet Group, the issuer of one of the world's biggest stablecoins, reacts to the price of first trade, on the day of the company's IPO, at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), in New York City, U.S., June 5, 2025. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo (Reuters) -Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet's shares climbed 41% to hit a record high on Friday, extending a stellar run after a blowout market debut on the New York Stock Exchange a day earlier. The New York-based company's stock touched as much as $117.45, more than triple its offer price of $31 and valuing the company at $30.5 billion on a fully diluted basis. The blockbuster listing also reinforced expectations that the IPO market was regaining its momentum after being stifled by tariff-driven volatility. "This is big enough that it extends beyond crypto," said Matt Kennedy, senior strategist at Renaissance Capital, a provider of IPO-focused research and ETFs. Wall Street executives also struck an optimistic tone on Thursday at an industry conference, emphasizing that markets were ready for the right companies. NYSE President Lynn Martin said Circle's IPO was a bellwether for the IPO market this year and not just for crypto listings. Investors are also realizing that the uncertain environment is going to be relatively persistent and focusing on putting their dollars at work, Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman said. "This is the latest sign of building momentum in the IPO market. We'll likely continue to see moderate activity over the next month, but there is still some tariff uncertainty on the horizon, which is why we're expecting more of a full IPO rebound in the fall," Kennedy said. Digital banking startup Chime is poised to go public in New York next week. Sixth Street-backed cancer diagnostic firm Caris Life Sciences, private equity-backed debt buyer Jefferson Capital and Florida-based Slide Insurance have also joined the IPO pipeline in recent weeks.

Rental aid for Putra Heights gas explosion victims extended to next April
The explosion on April 1 sent flames more than 30m high, with temperatures reaching 1,000°C, and left a 9.8m-deep crater at the site. SHAH ALAM : The Selangor government will continue providing rental assistance to victims of the gas pipeline explosion at Putra Heights in Subang Jaya at least until April next year. State housing and culture committee chairman Borhan Aman Shah said the RM2,000 monthly rental assistance will ensure victims have appropriate shelter until their homes are repaired. 'Initially, the state government agreed to provide rental support for six months, but we have decided to extend it for up to a year or more, especially for homes that were completely destroyed, as rebuilding will take time,' he said in a statement today. 'For houses that were partially damaged, assistance will also continue until repairs are fully completed. 'The aid will only be discontinued once the occupants are able to return to their homes.' Borhan said the state government will monitor the progress of the repair to ensure efficient use of funds allocated for the assistance. On April 30, menteri besar Amirudin Shari announced that the Selangor government had allocated RM2.73 million in rental assistance to 455 families affected by the incident, covering six months from April. The Petronas gas pipeline fire on April 1 sent flames more than 30m high, with temperatures reaching 1,000°C. The blaze took nearly eight hours to extinguish and left a 9.8m-deep crater at the site.
