‘Planting food, not hate': Brazil's Lula razzes Trump over tariff-hit grapes (VIDEO)
BRASILIA, Aug 17 — President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said today that he hopes Donald Trump can come and get to know the real Brazil, as the South American powerhouse reels from Washington's 50-per cent tariffs. In a video taken while he planted grapes—one of the tariff-hit goods—Brazil's leftist leader addressed Trump. 'I hope you can visit someday so we can talk and you can get to know the true Brazil, the Brazil of people who love samba, carnival, soccer, the United States, China, Russia, Uruguay, and Venezuela. We love everyone,' Lula said. The tariffs imposed on Brazil are among the steepest to hit a US trading partner. Hoje foi dia de colocar a mão na massa e plantar o primeiro pé de Uva Vitória do Palácio do Alvorada. Uva brasileira, sem semente, desenvolvida pela Embrapa. Aqui, a gente planta comida e não violência ou ódio. @JanjaLula August 17, 2025 And unlike with other countries, the measures against Brazil have been framed in openly political terms, with the Republican president justifying the move by alleging Brasilia is conducting a 'witch hunt' against his ally, former president Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro is being tried for an alleged coup attempt against Lula in 2022, and the United States recently sanctioned the judge in the case, along with seven other Supreme Court magistrates. Lula has backed the Supreme Court and promises to defend 'the sovereignty of the Brazilian people.' His administration has also vowed to combat Trump's tariffs, including by lodging an appeal if necessary. The levies, which affect several key exports from the largest economy in Latin America, sweep aside centuries-old trade ties and a surplus that Brasilia put at US$284 million (RM1.2 billion) last year. In his message on X, Lula said he was giving an example of 'planting food, and not planting violence, or planting hate.' 'I hope that someday we can talk, President Trump, so you can learn about the quality of the Brazilian people,' he adds. — AFP

MONEY THOUGHTS: Harness two business tools
THERE are ambitious business startups that focus, initially, on revenue generation and market-share capture instead of profitability. The medium- or long-term hoped-for exit point for shareholders of such businesses is the initial public offering or IPO of their companies' shares on a stock exchange like Bursa Malaysia, the Singapore Stock Exchange or the mighty New York Stock Exchange. On the journey to a potential fat payday for capitalists who take on the sizable risk of investing in a startup at various points of its maturation process, from private to public ownership, many terms describe the funding rounds. Some such terms are seed injecting, angel investing, venture capital funding and then an alphabet soup of capital-raising rounds like Series A, Series B, Series C and possibly more before the potentially big payoff of an IPO. Bear in mind hundreds of thousands of businesses are started by hopeful entrepreneurs everyday everywhere. Most fail. The often bandied about global statistic is that 90 per cent of new businesses fail. This means that for every 10 new startups, only one will survive beyond five years. Also, most survivors never make it big (My experience of nurturing two viable businesses for decades that have stubbornly remained diminutive corroborate that truth). However, in the first half of the 1990s, I had the privilege of writing about big companies run by household-name tycoons, many of whom preside over even larger businesses today. So, although I failed to catch the "Big Time Success Bug", I have learnt enough — over the miles and years — to co-opt two startup metrics that can apply to ambitious employees, professionals and small-business owners. Those business startup metrics are "burn rate" and "runway". BUSINESS METRICS Within promising startups careening toward public listings, aided by the angel investors, venture capitalists and alphabetical serial investors, the vital business metric of profitability takes a backseat — for a while — to top line sales (or revenue) and potential market share. Eventually, though, profits will matter, as does positive cash flow. But the amount of time a promising business needs to reinvest almost all inflowing revenue, plus all borrowings and intermediately raised capital, into expanding its market share can be lengthy. Case in point: Everyone knows Amazon is the tentacular global behemoth that once saw Jeff Bezos, its major shareholder, stand as the wealthiest person on Earth (from 2017 to 2021). At the time of this writing, Aug 5, despite the growingly unpopular Elon Musk holding that coveted title with a total net worth of US$357 billion according to the daily updated Bloomberg Billionaire Index ( Bezos' wealth stands at US$234 billion, which places him fourth globally. Bezos founded Amazon in 1994. It began selling books online in 1995; and yet it kept losing money until 2002. You see, Bezos was building a retail juggernaut to dominate Earth. I dare say he succeeded. Such accounts of immense corporate heft and success are impressive, yet have little to do with the real lives of regular people like you and me. Or do they? TOOLS TO COMPREHEND The two metrics I mentioned above, burn rate and runway, can first be understood and then, second, "folded into" our respective personal finance kits as analytical tools to comprehend our cash flow pattern and the required size of our Emergency Buffer Fund (EBF). Perhaps these descriptions will make things clearer: Burn rate — the gross burn rate of a company is the amount of cash it consumes each month to pay its bills without accounting for any inflowing revenue. The net burn rate is the gross burn rate minus inflowing revenue. Runway — it's more complete name is "cash runway". Just as a plane needs a sufficiently lengthy runway, say around four or five kilometres long, to start up, move, build speed, gain lift and then take off, a company's runway is measured by the number of months it can operate based on the amount of cash it has today, and its net burn rate. As individuals, we should aim to live our economically productive years on a positive cash flow basis. If we succeed, then our personal runways will be longer than our entire working careers, which may typically last three to five decades. Then, when we finally stop working for active income or, figuratively, come in for a landing, our remaining runway will either be long enough… or not. The chief determinants are: 1. The rate our retirement nest egg spins out passive income; and 2. The pace at which we spend money in retirement. So, take a fresh look at your career, assuming you are still working, and estimate the remaining years or, better still, decades you have to earn an active income. Then calculate your monthly and annual cash flow surpluses. After that, channel your surpluses into savings and investments that turn your — perhaps — modest current trickle of passive income into an eventual torrent. If you succeed, you will outlive your money and thus be able to bequeath real wealth to your loved ones or to society. The needed tools are now in your hands. © 2025 Rajen Devadason

Survey: Many M'sian SMEs struggling with ‘knowledge silos'
By having a single platform and source of information, it would ultimately eliminate data silos and ensure everyone within the company could work with consistent, accurate information crucial for informed decision-making or problem-solving. — Photo from KUCHING (Aug 17): Nearly one in four Malaysian small and medium enterprise (SME) professionals regard 'knowledge silos' as stifling collaboration and slowing business. This was indicated in a survey undertaken by Kintone and conducted with over 300 Malaysian business and technology professionals from SMEs, at the 36th International Invention, Innovation and Technology Exhibition (ITEX), held in Kuala Lumpur recently. The poll stated that 24.2 per cent of respondents reported colleagues hoarding vital information, while 19.5 per cent cited unclear workflows that delayed projects, duplicated effort and caused key tasks to be abandoned. Another 19.2 per cent blamed scattered communications across multiple chat apps for undermining teamwork. The study also said 14.9 per cent of respondents struggled with limited access to real-time data, hampering responsiveness and decision-making. Moreover, 9.3 per cent of them spoke about being overwhelmed by a proliferation of disconnected tools, adding unnecessary complexity to daily operations. 'The findings from our survey at ITEX offer a crucial lens into the operational realities confronting Malaysian SMEs today,' said Kintone Southeast Asia managing director Tsubasa Nakazawa in a recent interview. 'While Malaysia has shown a high generative AI (artificial intelligence) adoption rate of 44 per cent, which surpasses the global average of 39 per cent, many businesses still grapple with a fundamental unfamiliarity with adapting technology into daily workflows, which has been reflected in our survey as well. 'However, the continued prevalence of challenges like knowledge silos, unclear workflows, and fragmented communication is not merely about internal friction. 'It actually highlights a significant opportunity to boost Malaysia's digital productivity and enhance its global competitiveness. 'These internal inefficiencies translate directly into slower decision-making, diminished innovation capacity, and an inability to swiftly respond to market shifts.' Elaborating, Tsubasa said it was no longer enough to just acquire cutting-edge tools like Generative AI (GEN AI), as businesses must first address the foundational issues of how information would flow and how teams could truly collaborate. 'With this approach, not only will it unlock the full promise of advanced technologies, but it will also enable businesses to build a more connected, more transparent, and more organised digital workspace,' he said. Adding on, Tsubasa pointed out that the most significant, yet often overlooked, cost of digital chaos lay directly within a company's own employees. 'When teams are forced to navigate the maze of scattered digital tools, fragmented information, and disconnected communication channels, it creates immense friction in their daily work. 'This constant struggle leaves them with very little mental bandwidth for higher-value tasks. 'Instead of focusing on creative problem-solving, exploring innovative ideas, or strategising for operational improvements, their energy is consumed by the tedious and frustrating task of simply trying to find information, verify data, or understand who said what and where. 'In fact, these fragmentations will erode morale, stifle innovation, and lead to employee burnout. 'This could incur substantial and often hidden costs for the business in terms of lost institutional knowledge, and the considerable expense and time required for retraining new staff. Tsubasa points out that the most significant, yet often overlooked, cost of digital chaos lies directly within a company's own employees. Tsubasa acknowledged that moving from fixing individual bottlenecks to redesigning core processes would require a fundamental shift in approach. 'It's about rethinking the entire operational flow, not just patching up broken parts. 'Organisations need to engage in holistic process-mapping, taking a step back to map out their end-to-end processes to identify all touchpoints, dependencies, and potential points of failure, which often reveals interconnected issues across operations. 'This is where employee empowerment becomes critical, particularly through the strategic deployment of no-code/low-code platforms. By providing these intuitive tools directly to employees that work the closest to the daily operational challenges, it will enable them to actively participate in designing and refining their own workflows, building applications and automations based on their specific needs. 'In fact, these tools will help foster a culture of iterative improvement, ensuring workflows are not static, but can be quickly optimised based on real-world feedback and changing business needs, which is crucial for adaptability.' Still, Tsubasa said the tools 'could only do so much', stressing that providing initial training and ongoing support remained vital, whether through online resources, workshops or even internal 'champions' who could guide their colleagues. 'With this approach, it helps businesses foster a 'citizen developer' mindset, encouraging employees to build business applications with little to no coding. 'More than just solving immediate operational challenges, this will also enable non-technical employees to cultivate a culture of innovation and self-sufficiency, freeing up the IT (information technology) teams to focus on more strategic initiatives relating to the company's digital infrastructure, security and enterprise-level innovations.' Tsubasa also said by having a single platform and source of information, it would ultimately eliminate data silos and ensure everyone within the company could work with consistent, accurate information crucial for informed decision-making or problem-solving, in line with the company's growth. 'In fact, with a well-designed centralised platform, not only will it enhance workflow collaboration within internal teams, it can also be easily configured and expanded to accommodate new business lines, evolving market demands or a growing user base. 'This enables companies to ensure their technology keeps pace with its growth trajectory and reduces the need for constant, costly system overhauls,' he said. Kintone is a customisable digital workplace platform, designed to meet the needs of organisations of all sizes. Trusted by over 37,000 companies globally, it powers up more than two million applications. busines Kintone knowledge silos SMEs
