Thai government launches crypto-to-Baht scheme to boost tourism
BANGKOK: The Thai government is set to launch a new scheme on Monday (Aug 18) to revitalise its tourism industry by allowing foreign visitors to convert cryptocurrency into Thai Baht for payments. The initiative, named "TouristDigiPay," is a direct response to a significant slowdown in tourism this year, primarily due to a decline in visitors from China. The details of the programme will be unveiled at a press conference led by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira, alongside key officials from the Finance Ministry, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), and the Ministry of Tourism and Sports. The concept of using cryptocurrency to stimulate tourism has been under continuous review by the government. The SEC recently completed a public consultation on the use of financial innovation and digital assets to support economic and tourism growth, with the feedback period closing on Wednesday (Aug 13). Under the new regulations, foreign tourists wishing to convert digital assets into baht for spending must open an account with a digital asset business and an e-money provider, both of which are regulated by the SEC and the Bank of Thailand (BOT) respectively. The scheme will operate within a regulatory 'sandbox' to ensure proper oversight and risk management, particularly to prevent the direct use of digital assets as a means of payment. Only foreign tourists temporarily staying in Thailand will be eligible to use the service. Participants must undergo stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) and customer due diligence (CDD) checks, in line with AMLO's criteria. The service will enable tourists to exchange their digital assets for baht and make electronic payments, such as through QR code scanning. - The Nation/ANN

Govt: Petronas retains control of oil resources
KUALA LUMPUR: The Petroleum Development Act 1974 remains in force, with national oil company Petronas continuing to hold exclusive rights to explore and exploit Malaysia's petroleum resources, the government said. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said the act vests Petronas with the ownership of petroleum, and the rights, powers, and exclusive privileges to explore, exploit, and acquire petroleum both onshore and offshore Malaysia. Azalina said this in a written reply to Hassan Abdul Karim (PH–Pasir Gudang), who had asked to what extent the federal government would defend the act as a foundation of the country's economic sovereignty in the oil and gas industry. The question followed claims by the Sarawak government and Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros) that challenged the position of Petronas under the act. In a separate written reply, Azalina said contracts awarded to Sabah-based companies by Petronas had more than tripled to RM2 billion since the signing of the Commercial Collaborative Agreement (CCA) in 2021. The state had also secured a major boost in natural gas supply this year to power industrial growth. The value of contracts awarded to 326 licensed Sabah vendors had risen from RM613 million in 2021 to RM2 billion as of 2024, she said. This represents a 3.3-fold increase. Azalina said Sabah's role in the oil and gas industry had been strengthened through the CCA, which allowed greater participation by state-owned enterprises, including Sabah Energy Corporation Sdn Bhd (SEC) and SMJ Energy Sdn Bhd (SMJE). She said that for 2025, Petronas had raised the natural gas supply to SEC from 104 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d) to 224 MMscf/d. Of this, 150 MMscf/d had been allocated to Esteel at the Sipitang Industrial Park. Azalina said this in response to a question from Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan (GRS-Keningau), who had asked when the government and Petronas would implement agreements with the Sabah government on the return of oil and gas rights and revenue sharing, similar to the arrangements for Sarawak. He also asked about making Sabah the sole aggregator for all gas in the state. She added that SMJE had also acquired a 25 per cent equity stake in the ZLNG project and was participating in a Technical Exploration Agreement in the Layang-Layang Basin with industry partners. These developments reflected the enhanced participation and commercial benefits Sabah enjoyed in the national oil and gas industry, in line with the cooperation framework agreed under the CCA, she said. The CCA was signed between the Sabah government and Petronas on Dec 7, 2021. Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the CCA would allow the state to get greater revenue sharing, participation, and a voice in oil and gas-related matters through a commercial consultative framework with Petronas, while at the same time ensuring Sabah held on to its legal rights.
