REACHING DREAM DESTINATIONS WITH MALAYSIA AIRLINES
Thoughtful touches that make every flight feel like home
NUMEROUS airlines have been competing for the attention of Malaysian travellers as the travel bug bites once again.
With borders wide open and wanderlust in full swing, carriers are pulling out all the stops — from irresistible deals to revamped in-flight experiences — to win over passengers eager to explore the world once more.

Malaysia Airlines (MH) is more than just an airline – it is a symbol of Malaysian Hospitality, transforming every flight into an unforgettable memory.
Beyond the price tag
Low-cost carriers can be a popular pick among budget-minded travellers. This often means a more pared-down in-flight experience, with extras like snacks or generous baggage allowances kept to a minimum.
MH challenges this notion by making these extra frills part of the promise – all in one standard ticket rather than a premium upgrade.
For those travelling MH Economy Class, you don't have to worry about packing light. The fares include checked baggage from 20kg.
Business Class passengers can start their journey with an MH Signature Drink, a refreshing beverage infused with the national flower – hibiscus.
Depending on the flight duration, MH passengers are treated to complimentary in-flight meals – thoughtfully prepared to add a delicious touch that enhances the full-service flying experience.
For guests flying in Economy Class, they can reserve their preferred meal online from 30 days up to 24 hours before the flight.
Economy class passengers on selected flights are also treated to MH's Cool Treats — a complimentary packet of ice cream that adds a sweet little indulgence to the journey.
For those seeking a premium in-flight experience, MHupgrade lets you bid on seat upgrades between Economy to Business Class or even from Business Class to the exclusive Business Suite.
Business Class passengers can also indulge in MH's Signature Drinks at the start of their journey and pre-order from a selection of gourmet meals, such as their 'Best of Asia' menu, via the 'Chef-on-Call' service at no extra charge.
Simply place your order at least 24 hours before your scheduled flight.
The little touches continue where Business Class passengers can request a complimentary pair of snug in-flight slippers for added comfort on journeys longer than five hours.

Petroleum Development Act can't supersede relevant Sarawak laws, says senator
Senator Ahmad Ibrahim disputed law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said's statement that Petronas's rights on O&G resources in Sarawak remain protected under the PDA. (Petronas pic) PETALING JAYA : The Petroleum Development Act (PDA) 1974 cannot supersede the relevant laws in Sarawak, especially the Oil Mining Ordinance (OMO) 1958, a senator said in disputing a statement by a federal minister. Ahmad Ibrahim said Sarawak had been producing oil and gas since the discovery of oil in Miri in 1910, some 53 years before Malaysia was formed, the Sarawak Public Communications Unit reported. Ahmad said Sarawak had developed the industry under the state's own laws way before the PDA was enacted. Apart from the PDA, he said, the other relevant laws were the Distribution of Gas Ordinance (DGO) 2016, the Sarawak Land Code, and the State Sales Tax regime. He said Section 73 of the Malaysia Act 1963 preserved all state laws in force before Malaysia was formed, which included the OMO. Moreover, the ordinance, following its amendment in 2018, granted the state full authority over petroleum licensing onshore and on its continental shelf. 'The PDA (only) applies fully in states that do not have their own petroleum laws like the OMO, and therefore, in those states, Petronas is the sole aggregator of oil and gas,' he was quoted as saying. On Tuesday, law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said said the national oil company's rights on oil and gas resources in Sarawak remained protected under the PDA. In a written parliamentary reply, Azalina said the PDA would remain in force, in accordance with existing legal provisions. 'Petronas is vested with the ownership of petroleum, and the rights, powers, freedoms, and exclusive privileges to explore, exploit, obtain, and acquire petroleum, whether onshore or offshore Malaysia, as provided for under the Act,' she was quoted as saying. Ahmad said that under the DGO, Sarawak has exclusive authority to license and regulate domestic gas distribution, with state-owned Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros) having been formally recognised by the federal government as the sole gas aggregator for Sarawak's domestic market, excluding liquefied natural gas. As for the State Sales Tax, he said, a 2020 High Court ruling upheld Sarawak's right to impose such a tax on petroleum products, noting that Petronas withdrew its appeal and settled the dues. On Feb 5, Azalina said Sarawak had accepted that the PDA, not the state ordinances, dictated the operation of Malaysia's petroleum sector. She said Sarawak's concession was among key matters agreed upon by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg during a meeting on Jan 7. On Feb 7, Anwar said the federal and Sarawak governments had agreed to Petronas and its subsidiaries retaining all existing contractual obligations, domestic and international. However, to fulfil Sarawak's aspirations in the oil and gas sector, it was agreed that the DGO will come into force on March 1, he said. 'The DGO will be read together with the PDA, and therefore Petros will act as Sarawak's aggregator,' he had said. Anwar said this after Abang Johari reiterated the state's contention that it had regulatory authority over oil and gas activities within its territory.

Public feedback still required for key projects, says DBKL
DBKL said it is committed to public engagement, transparency, and inclusive decision-making in urban planning. PETALING JAYA : New planning regulations for Kuala Lumpur will continue to require stakeholder consultation, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) said today. DBKL said although formal objections to the Kuala Lumpur Local Plan 2040 (PTKL 2040) no longer apply following its gazettement on June 11, it remains committed to best planning practices through the implementation of Rule 3 of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur Planning Rules 2025, which mandates stakeholder consultations. It explained that such consultation is required for specific types of proposed developments, such as high-density projects or temporary developments, which require public feedback before approval is granted. 'Additionally, every approved development project in Kuala Lumpur is required to implement a communication strategy covering the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction phases,' it said in a statement. 'This ensures that developers engage with nearby residents to clearly explain the planned development and the benefits it will bring to the local community.' DBKL said these measures reflect its ongoing commitment to public engagement, transparency, and inclusive decision-making in urban planning. It was responding to criticism by Seputeh MP Teresa Kok over the 'secret' gazettement of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur Planning Rules 2025, which took place on June 13 and became effective three days later. Kok said the rules, which replace decades-old planning laws, weaken transparency and limit public objections to development projects. In its statement, DBKL said it remains dedicated to ensuring that the city is developed in an organised, inclusive, and liveable manner, with public input serving as a key foundation of its planning process. It also stressed that PTKL 2040's preparation was carried out transparently and in full compliance with legal provisions, with all stakeholders given the opportunity to provide input. It said it implemented a variety of publicity and public engagement methods to ensure broad community participation in line with Sections 14 and 15 of the Federal Territory (Planning) Act 1982. The public participation period began on Jan 31, 2024, was extended twice, and ended on April 15, 2024, it said. During this time, DBKL said it hosted permanent and mobile exhibitions across Kuala Lumpur and conducted 13 public briefing sessions, including ones involving Kuala Lumpur MPs. It also said it went beyond the legal requirements by conducting more engagement sessions than required under the Federal Territory (Planning) Act. Fifty-one engagement sessions involving more than 1,500 individuals and groups were organised. The participants included academics, MPs, professionals, residents' associations, government bodies, and local authorities. These engagement efforts spanned several years and formats, and included early pre-consultation sessions in 2019, informal meetings with MPs in 2020, and technical meetings with 32 government bodies. DBKL also said it gathered feedback through online surveys from 300 residents' associations, hosted focus group discussions with 521 participants, held consultation sessions with MPs in 2023, and organised an open day for the draft amendment in May.

Proton to integrate RFID technology into X50
SUBANG JAYA: Proton and Touch 'n Go Sdn Bhd have announced a strategic partnership to integrate Touch 'n Go RFID technology into the all-new Proton X50. This collaboration, formalised through a memorandum of understanding (MoU), marks a significant milestone in advancing Malaysia's connected mobility ecosystem. Under the agreement, every new Proton X50 will be pre-fitted with a Touch 'n Go RFID tag at the production line, enabling seamless access to Malaysia's extensive RFID-enabled highway network. Signatories for the MoU were Touch 'n Go CEO Praba Sangarajoo, and Proton Edar deputy CEO Zhang Qiang, while the witnesses were Touch 'n Go sales director, Jarrod Wong, and Proton Edar sales head Ong Chee Wooi. 'It's about instant gratification. You drive your new Proton X50 off the showroom floor with RFID already installed – just like that. This is not just about smarter mobility; it's about bringing real value and delight into everyday journeys, said Praba. As two proud homegrown Malaysian companies, he added this partnership is a celebration of what's possible when local champions work together. Launched on July 24 to strong market acceptance, the all-new Proton X50 has achieved instant success with 2,000 units delivered to customers just three weeks after its official unveiling. Combining a new exterior and interior design with the latest connectivity technologies and a powerful new 1.5-litre i-GT turbocharged engine, the B-segment SUV sales market leader is the first Proton vehicle to be equipped with Touch 'n Go's RFID tag as standard fit for all variants. 'The Proton X50 has been Proton's star product for our SUV range and today, over 140,000 units have rolled off the production line at Tanjong Malim. 'With the launch of the all-new Proton X50, we have taken a quantum leap forward to improve the purchase value for customers by offering a new design and new technologies while keeping the price unchanged. 'By partnering with Touch 'n Go, Proton is adding another new feature that fits perfectly with the model tagline of Intelligence That Amazes,' said Zhang. With other launches in their pipeline, he added Proton is looking to extend the fitment of Touch 'n Go RFID tags to other models to offer an improved level of convenience to their customers. 'Our aim is to improve the level of customer satisfaction, and we think this is one of the steps we can consider towards achieving that goal,' said Zhang.
