KUALA LUMPUR : Batik Air today announced the successful renewal of its IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification, reaffirming the airline's dedication to the highest standards of safety, reliability, and operational excellence.
Developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global trade association representing over 300 airlines, the certification is widely recognised as the industry's most rigorous safety evaluation framework.
It sets global benchmarks for aviation safety and operational efficiency by assessing an airline's systems and procedures against a comprehensive set of standards and recommended practices.
The renewed certification, valid until June 3, 2027, was awarded following a comprehensive audit conducted under IATA's enhanced risk-based audit framework. This methodology considers each airline's unique operational profile and historical safety performance, allowing for a more targeted and effective assessment.
The audit is carried out by independent, IATA-accredited professionals and must be renewed biennially. It covers eight critical operational areas, namely:
organisation and management systems;
flight operations;
operational control and despatch;
aircraft engineering and maintenance;
cabin operations;
ground handling;
cargo operations; and
aviation security.
'At Batik Air, safety isn't just a standard … it is the foundation of our operations and the core of our identity,' said chief executive officer Chandran Rama Muthy.
'For our passengers, this certification offers not only assurance but peace of mind. Whether flying domestically or across borders, they can trust that every flight is supported by robust safety protocols, seamless coordination, and operational precision.'

VMY 2026 an opportune time for hotels to showcase ESG readiness — Dalilawati Zainal
JUNE 17 — As Malaysia gears up for Visit Malaysia 2026, attention is turning to the hotel industry, being one of the tourism sector's key pillars. Experts are calling for strategic reforms to ensure digital transformation supports long-term sustainability. This article focuses on hotels, which play a vital role in shaping visitor experiences, promoting national branding and supporting Malaysia's sustainability goals. Many Malaysian hotels are still falling short in aligning digital transformation efforts with broader environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities. This misalignment could slow the momentum gained during the post-pandemic recovery and may affect Malaysia's standing as a credible sustainable travel destination. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the hotel sector had begun to show stronger commitment to sustainability. A number of upscale hotels were pursuing green certifications, investing in energy-efficient systems and engaging in community-based tourism. Digitalisation was also progressing, though conservatively, with a focus on enhancing efficiency through online booking platforms and loyalty programmes. While these efforts were encouraging, they remained fragmented and were not yet supported by comprehensive ESG strategies.

Between 2020 and 2023, hotels rapidly adopted technologies such as contactless check-ins, smart room automation and remote guest services to enhance safety and maintain operations. Although these tools improved operational continuity, many were adopted without being anchored in broader sustainability planning. Integration with environmental performance tracking, such as carbon monitoring or electronic waste management, remains limited. This disconnect between digitalisation and environmental accountability highlights a broader challenge. In many cases, digital upgrades were introduced for convenience or cost reduction, without considering long-term ESG implications. As a result, these systems can contribute to higher energy consumption, increased data demands and unmanaged digital waste. The key for Malaysia's hotel industry is not only to innovate but to ensure innovation is aligned with measurable sustainability outcomes. Integrating ESG into digital systems is essential for credible reporting and strategic management. Without it, hotels may struggle to produce reliable data, potentially limiting access to green financing opportunities such as sustainability-linked loans. A lack of transparent and evidence-based disclosures may also reduce stakeholder trust and investment appeal. This gap also fails to meet the expectations of post-pandemic travellers, who are increasingly environmentally conscious and digitally informed. According to Sustainable Travel Report 2024, 76 per cent of global travellers expressed a desire to travel more sustainably in the coming year, and 65 per cent said they would feel more confident selecting accommodation with recognised sustainability certification. These trends reflect rising demand for visible and credible sustainability performance at the booking stage. In Malaysia, although digital technologies have become more widespread, their use to support or communicate sustainability commitments remains limited. A 2024 study on hotel environmental practices found that most sustainability efforts are still basic, such as energy-saving measures or waste reduction; and are often driven by cost efficiency rather than long-term planning. Similarly, a 2025 analysis of tourism recovery found that while digital tools are increasingly used, they are rarely accompanied by systems that monitor or report environmental impact. Communication of ESG efforts is another challenge. Hotels frequently highlight social initiatives, such as staff activities or charity drives, as these are more relatable and easier to share digitally. However, effective ESG reporting requires a balanced approach that covers environmental, social and governance pillars. Without this balance, hotels risk presenting an incomplete picture of their performance and value, potentially weakening brand position and stakeholder trust. This communication gap has operational and reputational implications. With Visit Malaysia 2026 approaching, international travellers, travel platforms and rating agencies will likely assess how well Malaysia's hotels align with global sustainability benchmarks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Inadequate ESG transparency may result in lost competitiveness compared to destinations seen as more accountable. Government support has begun to respond to these challenges. The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (Motac) has positioned sustainability as a key focus in the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign. In addition, Motac is investing in digital marketing to promote eco-conscious tourism experiences, signalling a stronger alignment between destination marketing and sustainable development objectives. On the certification front, the Malaysia Green Hotel Certification, developed in line with Asean standards, has been introduced to recognise hotels that meet specific sustainability benchmarks. While still in the early adoption phase, the certification reflects growing institutional efforts to formalise ESG practices in the sector. These measures can help hotels integrate sustainability more systematically into both operational strategies and digital engagement, especially as the industry prepares for greater scrutiny. Industry observers stress that time is of the essence. Hotels are encouraged to reassess their digital investments through a sustainability lens, recognising that this is not just about technological advancement but also about strengthening operational continuity, stakeholder confidence and long-term financial sustainability. Hotels that move early to align digital transformation with ESG principles are likely to gain a competitive advantage, particularly as sustainability performance grows in importance to both consumers and investors. Malaysia's hotel sector now stands at a critical juncture. The momentum from post-pandemic recovery and the visibility offered by Visit Malaysia 2026 present an opportunity to redefine the industry's approach to sustainability. Achieving this will require coordination between public policy, private sector practices and improved ESG reporting frameworks. The path forward lies in adopting integrated and transparent sustainability strategies that are actively communicated through digital platforms. By doing so, Malaysian hotels can strengthen their market position, attract environmentally conscious travellers and investors, and subsequently contribute meaningfully to the country's broader development agenda. * Dalilawati Zainal is a senior lecturer at the Department of Accounting, Faculty of Business and Economics, Universiti Malaya, and may be reached at [email protected] ** This is the personal opinion of the writer or publication and does not necessarily represent the views of Malay Mail.

Rising prices outpace wages, BNM calls for urgent reforms
KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 — Controlling inflation alone is insufficient to alleviate cost-of-living pressures, said Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), highlighting the urgent need for structural reforms to address stagnant wage growth and ensure that incomes keep pace with rising prices. Deputy Governor Datuk Marzunisham Omar said that although headline inflation has eased significantly due to timely monetary policy tightening, price levels remain elevated, thereby reducing household purchasing power amid moderate wage growth. 'From the first quarter of 2020 (1Q 2020) to the 1Q 2025, the Consumer Price Index cumulatively increased by 9.8 per cent, while prices for food and beverages rose even higher at 17.5 per cent. 'In contrast, nominal private sector wages per worker increased by only 7.9 per cent over the same in real terms, wages per worker declined by 1.9 per cent, hence why we are feeling the pressure of the rising cost of living,' he said. Marzunisham said this during a panel session on the topic 'Managing Inflation, Easing Cost: A Policy Perspective' at the Sasana Symposium 2025 hosted by BNM today. He pointed out that while it is commonly argued that wages should reflect productivity, data from the 1Q 2022 to 2Q 2025 revealed that productivity per worker rose by 7.4 per cent, yet real wages declined during the same period. 'This clearly illustrates, particularly at the micro level, a structural misalignment between productivity gains and wage growth,' he added. Meanwhile, he said Malaysia should focus on creating more high-paying and skilled jobs. This is where investments come into the picture, and attracting the right kind of investment is crucial to creating high-skilled jobs that lead to high income. He highlighted that Malaysia recorded very encouraging investment approval numbers in 2023 and 2024, and the percentage of high-skilled jobs in the economy increased to about 30 per cent, an increase from 25 per cent a few years ago. Marzunisham said that attention must also be given to the supply side, where policy interventions are necessary, noting the ongoing concerns from employers regarding the quality of graduates entering the labour market. 'Between 2022 and 2023, around 260,000 fresh graduates entered the job market. However, only about 150,000 high-skilled jobs were created annually during that period, resulting in a gap of nearly 100,000. 'That's why we see underemployment among graduates remaining high — about 36 per cent of our graduates are working in mid- or low-skilled jobs, simply because they cannot secure high-skilled employment,' he said. Additionally, he noted that employers are complaining that they cannot find the right skilled workers, which underscores the need to improve training and address the skill mismatch among fresh graduates. He also pointed out that some countries have adopted differentiated minimum wages based on skill levels, and emphasised the need to focus on the broader ecosystem that shapes how wages are determined. Marzunisham also highlighted that some countries have introduced differentiated minimum wages, where the minimum wage is set according to skill levels, adding that another focus area should be the overall ecosystem of how wages are determined. 'The collaboration and engagement between employers, employees, and government unions, for example, is important, so that all these actors, all these participants, come into engagement in deciding how wages should be increased in the country, rather than leave it to the public forces,' he said. — Bernama

Govt to prioritise RON95 subsidy reform before carbon tax rollout in 2026
KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 — The government will prioritise the rationalisation of RON95 petrol subsidy this year before introducing a carbon tax in 2026, said Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan. He said Malaysia must first address the issue of fuel subsidies, particularly those involving the energy sector, before implementing the carbon tax. The government had previously announced plans to roll out a carbon tax targeting the iron, steel, and energy industries by 2026, as outlined in Budget 2025. 'As we embark on this transition, we must ensure that no unintended consequences are embedded within our system. For instance, Malaysia has yet to implement a carbon tax as part of its policy framework. While it is scheduled for rollout by 2026, there are important precursor steps we must take,' he added. 'One major issue is the existing distortions in the system, especially the subsidies provided to the energy sector. A key objective now is to begin scaling back these subsidies. It doesn't make sense to impose taxes on one side while simultaneously providing subsidies for petrol, diesel, and other fuels,' he continued. Amir Hamzah made these remarks during a session titled 'Delivering Malaysia's Energy Transition', where he was a panellist alongside Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir. The session was chaired by Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar, a senior independent and non-executive director of IOI Corporation Bhd. MORE TO COME
