Fahmi: Ministry to brief 3,000 people online on 13MP initiatives
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the session would involve 1,878 members of the Madani community and 1,099 managers of the National Information Dissemination Centres (NADI).
"The aim is to ensure the government's efforts under the Madani administration, through 13MP, are clearly understood by grassroots movers on the ground.
"We believe that when we empower the Madani community and NADI managers to disseminate the government's goals and initiatives, the people will ultimately benefit," he told a press conference today.
Fahmi said the briefing would use simple language to ensure clarity and inclusiveness among participants.
He added that the ministry would continue its outreach efforts in the lead-up to the tabling of the 13MP next year to foster greater understanding and support for national development plans.
Meanwhile, Fahmi said one of the targets under the 13MP was to expand Internet access nationwide and make it more affordable for the people.
He said the government was committed to ensuring that the Internet is safer, especially for children and families.
Fahmi said the government aimed to roll out a national digital ID system for individuals and businesses to enable secure access to global payments and improve digital marketability.
"This follows feedback from various stakeholders, including civil society and non-governmental organisations, which have raised concerns about the misuse of the Internet, especially in social media, to exploit children," he said.
Fahmi added that the 13MP would also support Malaysia's ambition to become a global leader in artificial intelligence while boosting the country's creative economy.

Bursa Malaysia to trade higher next week on US rate cut, upcoming 13MP debate
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia is likely to trade higher next week, supported by improved investor sentiment following the reduction in United States (US) tariffs and the upcoming debate on the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) during the Parliamentary sitting beginning Aug 4. UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd head of investment research, Mohd Sedek Jantan, said the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) is expected to trade within the 1,545 to 1,555 range. He noted that export-oriented stocks are expected to lead the rebound, with technology counters poised to benefit benefit from both global supply chain repositioning and the country's ongoing digitalisation agenda. "The 13MP unveiled by the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Thursday anchors the medium-term policy around geoeconomic resilience, supply chain realignment, and digital transformation. "Of particular note is the plan's emphasis on artificial intelligence, which reinforces our constructive view on the long-overdue re-rating of the technology sector," he told Bernama. Mohd Sedek also noted that recent domestic data supports the case for recovery, highlighting the S&P Global Malaysia Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), which rose for the third consecutive month—from 49.3 in June to 49.7 in July. "While the index remains just below the expansion threshold, the steady improvement signals ongoing stabilisation in the manufacturing sector," he said. Furthermore, Malaysian equities remain undervalued compared to regional peers as investors shift their focus to China's July trade data, which is due next Thursday. "As such, we remain cautiously optimistic that foreign investors will return as net buyers, particularly as they look to diversify away from the overstretched US equity markets. On a weekly basis, the benchmark index eased 0.41 of-a-point to 1,533.35 on Friday from 1,533.76 a week earlier. The FBM Emas Index increased 18.51 points to 11,525.33, the FBMT 100 Index gained 15.91 points to 11,285.63, and the FBM Emas Shariah Index climbed 11.78 points to 11,540.76. The FBM 70 Index increased 106.305 points to 16,607.57 while the FBM ACE Index dropped 14.65 points to 4,624.37. By sector, the Financial Services Index put on 25.97 points to 17,480.2, the Energy Index went up 9.75 points to 749.60, while the Plantation Index decreased 63.82 points to 7,370.97. Weekly turnover expanded to 15.94 billion units worth RM11.88 billion from 11.92 billion units worth RM11.43 billion in the previous week. The Main Market volume swelled to 8.33 billion units valued at RM10.46 billion compared with 6.63 billion units valued at RM9.70 billion previously. Warrants turnover declined to 5.50 billion units worth RM859.03 million from 7.10 billion units worth RM1.15 billion in the preceding week. The ACE Market volume improved to 2.10 billion units valued at RM561.51 million versus 1.68 billion units valued at RM577.05 million a week ago.

Ringgit to trade at 4.25-4.26 versus greenback on Fed rate cut optimism
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit is expected to trade between 4.25 and 4.26 against the US dollar next week, following weaker-than-expected United States (US) Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for July, which may prompt the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to consider an interest rate cut at its September meeting. The NFP data for July fell short of expectations to just 73,000 jobs, significantly below the consensus estimates of 106,000. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the latest NFP data could boost sentiment for the ringgit, as it increases the expectations that the Fed may reduce the Federal Funds Rate in September. He also noted that NFP figures for the previous two months — May and June — were revised sharply lower, further reinforcing expectations of a potential rate cut. "Such views were very much aligned with the two dissenters during the last Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which favoured a quarter-point cut. "The outlook for Fed Fund Rate was the main consideration among the traders as the Fed was seen as indecisive on further monetary policy accommodation during the recent FOMC meeting," he told Bernama. Meanwhile, Mohd Afzanizam said the US government's recent decision to impose a reciprocal tariff of 19 per cent on Malaysia-- down from a previous rate of 25 per cent-- could help mitigate the impact. "This is a welcome move, and there may be room for further negotiations. An improved trade arrangement could prove positive for the ringgit over the medium term," he added. Furthermore, he believes that the recently announced 13th Malaysia Plan (13th MP) will support the ringgit in the medium to long term. Under the plan, development expenditure has been increased to RM430 billion, which is expected to boost domestic demand and encourage investment activities, ultimately supporting Malaysia's gross domestic product growth. The 13th MP was tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Parliament on Thursday, with a focus on driving sustainable growth based on value creation across all sectors. On a Friday-to-Friday basis, the ringgit ended the week lower against the greenback, closing at 4.2750/2815 versus 4.2195/2245 previously. However, the local note traded higher against a basket of major currencies. The ringgit appreciated vis-à-vis the Japanese yen to 2.8407/8452 from 2.8529/8565 on Friday the previous week, rose versus the euro to 4.8752/8826 from 4.9507/9566 last week, and gained against the British pound to 5.6208/6293 from 5.6786/6853 previously. Against ASEAN currencies, the ringgit trended mostly higher. The local note firmed against the Singapore dollar to 3.2907/2960 from 3.2937/2978 at the end of last week, strengthened versus the Thai baht to 13.0058/0319 from 13.0268/0478, and improved against the Philippine peso to 7.35/7.36 from 7.38/7.40 in the preceding week. However, it edged lower versus the Indonesian rupiah to 258.8/259.4 from 258.5/258.9 in the previous week.

13MP flood mitigation, climate plans lauded
PETALING JAYA: The RM20 billion allocation for flood mitigation projects nationwide under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) has been viewed as a positive step to protect lives and property, especially with the growing impacts of climate change. The 13MP outlined key climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, but experts stress that lasting political will and public awareness are vital for sustained impact. Pertubuhan Alam Sekitar Sejahtera Malaysia president Mohd Yusaimi Md Yusof told theSun that long-term success depends on planning and proper implementation. 'The upgrades to rivers and drainage systems must consider current capacities, environmental impacts and climate resilience to ensure the projects remain effective for decades. 'Better water flow management and upgraded infrastructure are crucial, as current facilities are based on outdated capacities.' He said early warning systems using accessible technology are important, so communities can respond quickly during disasters. On Thursday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that the government would table a National Climate Change Bill and introduce a National Adaptation Plan under the 13MP to regulate Malaysia's climate response and strengthen national preparedness against the impacts of global warming. Mohd Yusaimi said the Climate Change Bill must go beyond being a symbolic policy and be enforced at federal, state and local levels, given that land and forest matters fall under state jurisdiction. He said strong enforcement, accountability and coordination among all levels of government are needed to ensure the Bill translates into action rather than remaining a statement of intent. 'Apart from mitigation, adaptation is equally important. The proposed Bill could help Malaysia prepare for the impacts of climate change. 'All parties must be willing to take action. For example, ensuring that forest cover consists of actual forests, not tree plantations, and addressing issues such as rare earth element mining,' he said. Mohd Yusaimi also said the Bill demonstrates Malaysia's commitment to global climate agreements such as the Paris Agreement, a 2015 treaty under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which could enhance the country's international standing and show that Malaysia is serious about meeting its environmental responsibilities. He highlighted that the introduction of the Bill could raise public awareness about climate change and the importance of collective action to address these challenges. 'The Bill could also strengthen the green economy by encouraging sustainable business practices, innovation and investment in renewable energy and climate friendly industries. 'However, these opportunities must be inclusive and accessible to all segments of society, not just industry players or academia. In many cases, local communities could come up with solutions that are relevant to their specific needs.' Despite the positive outlook, Mohd Yusaimi raised concerns about whether these measures would continue if there is a change in government. 'While the 13MP emphasises strengthening mitigation measures, including flood mitigation projects and better water management to reduce flood risks, the question remains whether these measures would be sustained in the long term. 'If there is a change in government, would current policies also change? Policy continuity is vital. If each administration shifts its priorities, the impact of climate initiatives would be compromised.' He added that the 13MP stresses the importance of public awareness and participation in climate action. 'Communities must be active partners, not just passive spectators. When people are empowered to understand and take part in climate solutions, the outcomes are more sustainable. 'Raising awareness and embedding environmental values in society are just as important as building infrastructure or passing new laws.'
