Malaysian billionaire Ong Beng Seng to plead guilty in Singapore ex-transport minister Iswaran's corruption case on July 3
SINGAPORE, June 11 — Billionaire hotelier Ong Beng Seng will plead guilty on July 3 in a high-profile graft case linked to Singapore's former transport minister S. Iswaran. The Straits Times reported that the 79-year-old tycoon's plea date was confirmed following a pre-trial conference in Singapore yesterday. His plea was initially slated for April 2 but was delayed after his lawyers requested more time to obtain medical reports. Ong, best known for bringing Formula One to Singapore in 2008, faces two charges: abetting a public servant to obtain gifts and abetting the obstruction of justice. He was charged on October 4, 2024. According to court documents, Ong had allegedly arranged for Iswaran to fly on his private jet from Singapore to Doha in December 2022 — a flight valued at US$7,700 (RM32,615). He also covered a one-night stay for Iswaran at the Four Seasons Hotel Doha, worth S$4,737.63, and a business-class return flight to Singapore valued at S$5,700. Ong is accused of tipping off Iswaran that the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) had seized the flight manifest for the trip, prompting the then-minister to ask Ong to retroactively bill him to avoid scrutiny. This led to Ong being charged with the abetment of obstruction of justice. Ong's links to Iswaran go back nearly two decades. In the mid-2000s, the two men worked together to convince then-Formula One Group chief executive Bernie Ecclestone to bring the sport's first-ever night race to Singapore. Iswaran served as chairman of the F1 steering committee and was the Singapore government's chief negotiator on related matters with Singapore GP. Iswaran, 62, was sentenced to 12 months in jail on October 3, 2024, after pleading guilty to five charges, including receiving gifts from Ong and David Lum Kok Seng, managing director of Lum Chang Holdings. He was placed on the Home Detention Scheme in February 2025 and completed his sentence on June 6. Ong has since announced plans to step down as managing director of Hotel Properties Limited, the company he founded.

Ringgit opens higher as US-China trade talks resume
KUALA LUMPUR : The ringgit opened higher against the US dollar on Wednesday, as the market resumed its observation on further trade negotiations between the US and China in London, an analyst said. At 8am, the local note rose to 4.2290/4.2380 versus the greenback from Tuesday's close of 4.2360/4.2420. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Afzanizam Rashid said the US dollar index (DXY) see-sawed between 98.962 and 99.358 last night as traders and investors continued to monitor the US-China trade talks. 'US secretary of commerce Howard Lutnick described the discussion as running well, suggesting the two nations could potentially arrive at a midway (point) in their negotiations,' he added. Meanwhile, Afzanizam said the debate on US President Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' is still ongoing among the US senate, as some Republicans are pushing for the phasing out of the clean-energy tax credit on the grounds of protecting investors and jobs from major disruptions. He said the US fiscal position would be in the spotlight as fiscal deficits and government debt are expected to climb. 'While market sentiments demonstrated a positive sign, it is still an early day. On that note, we expect the ringgit-dollar exchange to remain range-bound between 4.23 and 4.24 today,' he said. At the opening, the ringgit traded mostly higher against a basket of major currencies. It rose against the Japanese yen to 2.9200/2.9264 from Tuesday's close of 2.9270/2.9314, and strengthened versus the British pound to 5.7121/5.7243 from 5.7152/5.7233, but marginally lower vis-a-vis the euro to 4.8367/4.8470 from 4.8354/4.8422 yesterday. The local currency traded higher against its Asean peers. It gained versus the Singapore dollar to 3.2885/3.2957 from 3.2932/3.2981 at Tuesday's close and improved against the Thai baht to 12.9664/13.0040 from 12.9712/12.9955. The ringgit was slightly higher vis-a-vis the Philippine peso at 7.57/7.59 from 7.58/7.60 yesterday and inched up against the Indonesian rupiah to 259.8/260.5 from 260.2/260.7 previously.

National debt manageable amid reforms, says economist
While Malaysia's debt has soared to RM1.22 trillion, an economist believes it will not threaten future prosperity. (AP pic) PETALING JAYA : Malaysia's elevated national debt does not pose a threat to the country's prosperity as its strong fundamentals enable the government to service the debt, said an economist. Universiti Malaya (UM) senior economics lecturer Goh Lim Thye said the national debt, which stood at RM1.22 trillion and 63% of gross domestic product (GDP) as of April 2024, warrants careful management but 'is not inherently a threat to future prosperity'. Goh Lim Thye. 'In assessing debt sustainability, economists focus less on the absolute size of the debt and more on the country's ability to service it over time without compromising growth or triggering financial instability,' he told FMT. In Malaysia's case, he said, the country still enjoys substantial fiscal capacity, a diversified economic base, and continued access to domestic and international capital markets. More importantly, international institutions continue to signal confidence in Malaysia's fundamentals, he said. 'All three major credit rating agencies — Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch Ratings — have reaffirmed Malaysia's investment-grade ratings in 2024,' said Goh, who is deputy dean (development) at UM's faculty of business and economics. 'These ratings send an important message to the global investment community: Malaysia's fiscal position is being managed prudently, and the government is making steady progress on necessary reforms,' he added. Praise from the IMF The government's fiscal reform initiatives have also been given a positive assessment by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In its March report following consultations with Malaysian authorities last December, the IMF welcomed the government's commitment to fiscal consolidation and the 'historic enactment' of the Public Finance and Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA). 'Current policies are focused on rebuilding fiscal buffers, augmenting growth potential, and strengthening social protection while preserving macroeconomic and financial stability. 'The landmark FRA, enacted in 2023, aims to strengthen fiscal management and governance,' it said. The IMF said Malaysia's favorable economic conditions provide a window of opportunity to build macroeconomic policy buffers and accelerate structural reforms. The agency noted that under the Madani Economy, the government has developed a set of policy frameworks that focus on increasing incomes, addressing climate change, promoting digitalisation, and enhancing governance. Fiscal and structural reforms Imran Yusof. MIDF Amanah Investment Bank head of research Imran Yusof agrees that the government's on-going fiscal and structural reforms will provide a good buffer and improve on the debt position. 'We believe (the government) is on the right track to ensure that we can get a higher surplus and lower the fiscal deficit,' he said. The administration's fiscal consolidation efforts are already bearing fruit, with the fiscal deficit on a steady decline since the unity government took power in late 2022. It outperformed its fiscal deficit target of 4.3% in 2024, achieving a reduction to 4.1% of GDP from 5% in 2023. It is projecting a further drop in the deficit to 3.8% in 2025. A fiscal deficit occurs when a government's total expenditure exceeds its income, excluding borrowings. The declining fiscal deficit is on the back of a steady reduction in new government borrowings, dropping to RM75 billion in 2024 from RM93 billion in 2023. In 2022, the previous administration borrowed RM100 billion. On the national debt, Imran opined it is more contextual to look at it from a debt-to-GDP ratio perspective rather than the absolute amount. He noted that as long as there is a budget deficit then the national debt level will continue to grow. 'However, Malaysia has always practised a balanced operating budget, and the deficit is caused by development expenditure, which is akin to investment for the country's economic growth.' He explained the development expenditure, which is sourced through borrowings, is to ensure the economy continues growing or that economic shocks are not too detrimental to the rakyat's livelihood. 'Therefore, as long as nominal GDP continues to grow, then we expect the debt levels to be manageable,' he said. Inherited legacy problem Goh said the elevated national debt is not a reflection of any mismanagement on the part of the current administration, but rather 'a complex inheritance of crisis-related and structural factors'. 'The current debt burden is largely the result of legacy factors and extraordinary crisis-related spending,' he explained. This includes the then government's Covid-19 pandemic response, unfavourable pre-pandemic fiscal trends, and legacy financial mismanagement such as the 1MDB debacle. The Covid-19 pandemic response ramped up the national debt as the Perikatan Nasional-led government deployed over RM530 billion in stimulus and recovery packages, of which over RM100 billion came in direct fiscal injections, from 2020 to 2022. 'These measures were critical to preserve livelihoods, safeguard SMEs, and prevent economic collapse, but came at a huge cost to public finances,' he said. Goh also said the 1MDB scandal added long-term debt obligations and contingent liabilities on the government. 'While direct liabilities have been partly resolved, the broader fiscal implications — including lower investor trust and opportunity costs – persist today. 'The question now is how to restore resilience, and early signs suggest the government is taking meaningful steps in that direction,' he added.
