NationGate says MACC probe not linked to top brass, core business
In a Bursa Malaysia filing today, the electronics manufacturing services company said that an order to inspect, search and seize under Section 31(1) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 from MACC was issued to NationGate Solution.
'To our best knowledge, the raid does not involve any specific board members or senior management.
'NationGate Solution is not a major subsidiary pursuant to the definition given in the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities,' it said.
It added that for the time being, the MACC raid is not expected to have significant financial and operational impact on the group.
Previously, it is reported that MACC has raided the premises of NationGate Holdings' wholly owned subsidiary NationGate Solution as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of scrap metal smuggling. — Bernama

Dr M to govt: Reveal Daim's alleged offences
KUALA LUMPUR: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has called on the government to reveal the crimes Tun Daim Zainuddin is alleged to have committed. Dr Mahathir said this as Daim's reputation continued to be questioned even after the former finance minister's passing last November. In his statement, Dr Mahathir alluded to the probe into Daim's undeclared assets. The NST previously reported that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission was looking into property and assets linked to Daim in 11 countries. Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said that at least RM4.5 billion in assets linked to Daim had been traced in several countries, including RM758 million in the United Kingdom. MACC is seeking to seize and forfeit assets worth more than RM3 billion. "Tun Daim is gone, he cannot defend himself," Dr Mahathir said in a statement. "Everyone knows Daim was rich before becoming a minister, and was in the process of surrendering his business interests when he was appointed a minister." Dr Mahathir said Daim only restarted doing business after he was no longer a minister. "Daim did business abroad to avoid being accused of receiving special privileges," he said, adding that Daim had not been linked to any scandal in the countries he did business in.

SST exemptions for key construction projects, including homes, parks, and public toilets, says Ahmad Maslan
KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 — The government continues to support the construction sector by granting Sales and Services Tax (SST) exemptions for selected projects, particularly those involving residential buildings and public facilities, including houses of worship, recreational parks and public toilets, said Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan. He said essential building materials such as cement, aggregate (gravel) and sand remain zero-rated under the sales tax to help reduce the burden on developers and ensure the continuity of infrastructure projects. 'Selected business-to-business (B2B) activities are subject to certain conditions. For instance, main contractors are subject to SST, but not to subcontractors earning below the threshold of RM1.5 million,' he said during an oral question and answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today. Ahmad was responding to a question from Yusuf Abd Wahab (GPS-Tanjong Manis) regarding the categories of construction projects exempted from SST, as well as the ministry's steps to ensure that existing projects are not affected by its implementation. In line with the government's commitment to implement SST fairly and effectively, he said, companies and contractors that carry out contracts that do not allow for review will be granted a one-year exemption, subject to terms and conditions. 'This incentive is part of the government's measures to ensure the construction industry has sufficient time to adjust the system, streamline the registration process and obtain accurate clarification on the implementation of SST,' he said. Meanwhile, Ahmad said that there has been no discussion to increase the threshold value for registration of taxable services for the construction sector from RM1.5 million to RM3 million. He was responding to a supplementary question from Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman (PN-Kuala Krai) regarding the industry's proposal for the threshold value for registration of SST taxable services to be increased from RM1.5 million to RM3 million, particularly for construction and rental and leasing categories. — Bernama

Bank Negara trims 2025 GDP forecast to 4.0–4.8pc amid global uncertainties
KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 — Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has revised Malaysia's 2025 gross domestic product (GDP) growth projection to between 4.0 per cent and 4.8 per cent from 4.5 per cent - 5.5 per cent previously. The projection takes into account various tariff scenarios, ranging from continued elevation of tariffs to more favourable trade negotiation outcomes. In a statement today, the central bank said the forecast remains subject to uncertainties surrounding the global economy, both on the downside and the upside. 'Favourable trade negotiation outcomes, pro-growth policies in major economies, continued demand for electrical and electronic goods, and robust tourism activity could raise Malaysia's export and growth prospects,' it said. Meanwhile, BNM Governor Datuk Seri Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour said the Malaysian economy remains resilient despite global uncertainties, supported by the outcome of structural reforms undertaken over the years. 'The sustained strength in economic activity and moderate inflation provides a supportive environment to pursue structural reforms for a more resilient and competitive Malaysia in the future,' he said. — Bernama
