TAWAU (Aug 2): The State Government has allocated RM13.66 million for this year to ensure Sabah's cultural and arts heritage continues to be preserved, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor. 'The State Government will continue to intensify efforts to improve the preservation of cultural heritage to further drive and strengthen the tourism industry in the state,' he said at the Tawau International Cultural Festival (FKAT). State Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Haji Mohd Arifin Datuk Haji Mohd Arif delivered his speech. Held at the Tawau Municipal Council Square on Saturday night, the event was graced by Head of State Tun Musa Aman and his wife, Toh Puan Faridah Tussin. 'I am confident that this festival will be one of those that brings significant impact to the tourism sector and the local economy. The influx of domestic and international tourists during this festival is not only an opportunity to appreciate our cultural treasures but also brings economic spillovers to all indirectly involved. 'They include entrepreneurs, homestay operators, artists and small traders, thereby contributing to the economic growth of the local community. 'This festival also serves as the medium to educate the younger generation about the importance of protecting and valuing our priceless cultural heritage,' he said. The Chief Minister said that the construction of the Tawau International Cultural Centre (TICC), scheduled for completion in December 2027, will undoubtedly become a cultural hub and a key stage for the convergence of various ethnicities' arts and heritage once completed. 'This will, in turn, elevate Tawau as a competitive international cultural centre,' he said. In line with the theme 'Cultural Diversity: Warriors, Handicrafts and Marriage,' the FKAT is a manifestation of the beauty and uniqueness of Sabah's multiracial society, he said. The Chief Minister said this festival is not only a space for cultural exhibition but it is also a platform for interaction between communities from various backgrounds, including participants from Kazakhstan, Indonesia and the Philippines. 'It further strengthens Tawau's role as a border town rich in cultural networks and regional cooperation. 'Therefore, this festival serves as a platform to strengthen interracial unity, raise awareness of cultural diversity, and foster respect and appreciation for the heritage of our ancestors,' he said.

Chow Kon Yeow: Penang's RM296m ‘GBS By The Sea' hub fully occupied by global tech firms
GEORGE TOWN, Aug 2 — Penang continued to cement its status as a global business and technology hub with the official launch of 'GBS By The Sea', a landmark RM296 million development located in Technoplex Bayan Lepas. Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow hailed the project as a bold statement and a clear example of Penang's transition into a knowledge-based, innovation-driven economy. He said GBS By The Sea is the fourth project under the global business services (GBS) initiative, spanning 290,000 square feet (sq ft) of space. 'The GBS By The Sea facility is already fully occupied, with three global industry leaders, namely Advanced Micro Devices Global Services (AMD), Celestica Platform and Cloud Solutions Malaysia and the Microsoft Knowledge Capital Centre. 'These global companies are not only investing in Penang, but they are also creating over 1,000 quality jobs for our local talent in areas like research and development (R&D), engineering, digital services and more. These are the kind of high-value, future-ready jobs that we want for Penangites,' he said during the GBS By The Sea launching ceremony in Bayan Lepas today. Also present at the ceremony were State Infrastructure, Transport and Digital Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari, Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang (MBPP) Mayor Datuk A Rajendran and Penang Development Corporation (PDC) chief executive officer Datuk Aziz Bakar. Chow elaborated that the facility is not just a workplace but also equipped with a gym, cafeteria and a six-storey car park with 800 bays. He emphasised that GBS would play a vital role in Penang's next chapter, moving from being a manufacturing hub to becoming a knowledge-based and tech-forward economy. 'Projects like GBS By The Sea help us make that transition not just in words, but in real ways that matter to businesses and workers. 'With the announcement of 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), which puts a strong focus on the transition to 'Made by Malaysia' and aims for higher growth and higher value creation, GBS By The Sea fits perfectly into this big picture — it's local, it's future-focused, and it brings value,' he said. Chow also announced that PDC is already working on its fifth GBS project, namely 'GBS at Technoplex', a RM500 million development offering over 400,000 sqft of space. He said that even though construction has not been completed, 16 per cent of the building has already been pre-booked by tenants, reflecting strong demand and high confidence in Penang's potential. — Bernama

US government turmoil stalls thousands of export approvals, sources say
NEW YORK, Aug 2 — Thousands of license applications by US companies to export goods and technology around the globe, including to China, are in limbo because turmoil at the agency in charge of approving them has left it nearly paralysed, two sources said. While US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has become a familiar face touting President Donald Trump's tariff and trade deals, sources said the export bureau under Lutnick's command has failed to issue expected new rules, stifled communications with industry representatives, pushed out experts, and lost staff through buyouts and resignations. Shipments of artificial intelligence chips from Nvidia to China are the most high-profile example of licenses not being swiftly approved. The company said July 14 the government assured it licenses would be granted for its H20 chip, and it hoped to start deliveries soon. Lutnick and other officials confirmed sales would be allowed. But sources said this week no licenses have yet been issued, and billions of dollars of AI chip orders are at stake. One US official said the backlog of license applications is the lengthiest in more than three decades. A spokesperson for Nvidia declined to comment. The Commerce Department defended its licensing practices, saying its Bureau of Industry and Security 'will no longer rubber-stamp license applications that raise grave questions of national security,' a spokesperson said. 'BIS is driving forward President Trump's agenda through strong rules and aggressive enforcement,' the person added. The turmoil and resulting inaction at an agency tasked with promoting overseas trade and safeguarding American technology are alarming both those seeking tougher restrictions on exports to China and companies trying to sell their wares abroad. 'Licensing is how the US does business and competes globally,' said Meghan Harris, who served on the National Security Council in the first Trump administration and has worked at Commerce. 'Delays and unpredictability put us at an unnecessary disadvantage.' BIS averaged 38 days per export license application in fiscal year 2023, the most recent data available, denying 2 per cent of 37,943 applications. The license process enforces US export restrictions in an effort to make sure sensitive goods and technology do not reach countries or entities whose use of the items could harm US national security. Some staff have criticised Jeffrey Kessler, who became BIS undersecretary in March, saying he has micromanaged the bureau and failed to communicate adequately. At a staff meeting soon after he took office, Kessler urged BIS staff to limit communications with company representatives and industry officials, according to two additional sources, who said he later asked for all meetings to be entered on a spreadsheet. Getting approval from Kessler's office to attend meetings with other government agencies has also been tricky, those sources said, speaking anonymously because they were not authorised to speak publicly. The BIS spokesperson said Kessler 'is restoring integrity' to the bureau and enjoys Lutnick's 'full confidence.' Frustration among exporters Frustration is growing within US industry. 'We're seeing whole sectors where there is no movement or indication if or when licenses will be issued,' including license applications for semiconductor manufacturing equipment worth billions of dollars, said Sean Stein, president of the US-China Business Council. While the clock is ticking on license applications, 'Chinese companies are exploring and doing deals with suppliers in China and other countries,' he said. 'The longer we have the delay, the more market share we're going to lose.' Jim Anzalone, president of Compliance Assurance, a Florida-based trade consultancy, said he has seen delays in license approvals for sensors, radars, and sonar to Latin America and other parts of the world. 'There's nothing official about what the policy is and when the backlog would be cleared,' he said. He has received denials sporadically after submitting some two dozen applications months ago to export semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China, including four denials on Wednesday, he added. Sources stressed that some licenses are getting approved, especially exports to allied countries, and they noted that some communication with companies continues, especially around license applications. Commerce is also delaying regulatory changes. The agency said in May it would rescind and replace a Biden administration rule before it went into effect that month restricting where AI chips can be exported, but the agency has not done so yet. Other rules, which sources said have been drafted for months, have not been published, including one to expand export restrictions to subsidiaries of companies already banned from receiving controlled US exports. Meanwhile, important staff vacancies such as China-based export control officers have not been filled, and high-level career employees have resigned. A retirement party was held this week for Dan Clutch, acting director of the BIS Office of Export Enforcement, the latest experienced staff member to leave. — Reuters
