With them is FT Sports Council director Nik Ahmad Zahiruddin Nik Saleh. — Bernama THE soon-to-be built Putrajaya Sports Complex will boost athlete development in the Federal Territories and strengthen the national sports ecosystem. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the suggestion to build the complex was well received by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Currently, she said discussions were being held with stakeholders to make it a success. 'We started considering it, after seeing the encouraging performance of our Federal Territories athletes upon returning from the Malaysia Games (Sukma) in Sarawak. 'Based on that, we had a discussion at the senior management level and came up with the idea to build a sports complex with Putrajaya being the ideal location,' she told Bernama after presenting Madani aid worth RM278,000 to 27 sporting bodies based in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya. Dr Zaliha added that the complex would focus on high performance sports and would help every national and Federal Territories athlete. The facilities at the complex were being fine-tuned with several stakeholders, she said. 'We will meet with the Prime Minister's Department's Public-Private Partnership Unit and discuss the matter further.' In her speech earlier, Dr Zaliha said she had instructed the Federal Territories Sports Council to introduce a star ranking system for sporting bodies in the Federal Territories to ensure that they were managed well. The elements considered for assessment in the ranking system include document management and governance, efficient financial management and achievements as well as success at national and international level. 'I'm confident that with this ranking system, sports bodies will be more competitive and disciplined to ensure performance in the Federal Territories remain at an excellent level.'

Made-in-Malaysia AI vital for growth
Experts: Time to build, own and export our own systems so as not to be left behind PETALING JAYA: Malaysia must urgently develop its sovereign AI systems or risk becoming digitally advanced but economically dependent – and ultimately face long-term economic decline, experts say. They said as Malaysia races ahead with its digital transformation, much of that progress remains powered by imported artificial intelligence tools, thus raising concerns about economic dependency. AI Society president Dr Azree Shahrel Ahmad Nazri said Malaysia must urgently develop and own its AI systems or risk falling further behind economically, despite the country's rapid digital transformation. 'Without local AI ownership, we cannot export, licence or embed these technologies into regional products that generate income or foreign exchange,' he said when contacted. He warned that countries like Malaysia, which rely heavily on foreign-developed AI, face growing risks to GDP growth, productivity and national competitiveness. Citing emerging macroeconomic trends, he explained how AI-driven productivity gains, if limited to non-tradable sectors like education, health or governance, can distort real growth indicators. In Malaysia's case, he said the impact could be severe. Despite being online, automated and connected, he said the country risks building a digital economy that 'exports little, owns less and pays more', driven by rising licensing fees, AI subscriptions and reliance on foreign cloud infrastructure. Azree said such imported productivity could also distort Malaysia's exchange rate, making the ringgit appear stronger than it really is and hurt traditional export sectors. CLICK TO ENLARGE He called for urgent investment in sovereign AI capacity and policy-driven infrastructure. 'We must build, own and eventually export our own AI. Otherwise, we risk being tenants in our own digital economy,' he said. Universiti Malaysia Sarawak senior lecturer Dr Chuah Kee Man said Malaysia's dependence on foreign AI tools may bring short-term efficiency, but it risks long-term loss of control and competitiveness. 'To become an AI exporter, Malaysia must move beyond short-term grants and build a genuine innovation ecosystem,' he said. This includes regulatory sandboxes, stronger intellectual property protection and targeted investment in areas like halal logistics, Islamic finance, smart cities and multilingual natural language processing. Chuah explained that Malaysia's current progress is uneven across sectors. While the country has talent and early-stage initiatives, he said sovereign AI development demands sustained investment in infrastructure, skills and computing power. In terms of cost, he said developing a medium-sized foundational model would require serious commitment. 'If we take current industry standards for medium-sized foundational models, it could be about RM50mil and take about two years to build if there is a consolidated effort on it. 'For a sovereign AI model, it could easily go up to RM500mil. It can take up to five years or longer if the infrastructure is not sufficiently powerful,' he said. Because of the scale involved, Chuah suggested a collaborative approach. 'Heavy investment – that is why a partnership model may be more feasible since we are technically playing catch-up,' he said. Echoing the need for strategic investment, cybersecurity specialist Fong Choong Fook said Malaysia should establish a National AI Sovereignty Fund to finance homegrown AI development. Fong said the sovereignty fund can be backed by capital from public and government-linked companies. 'This fund would directly support the development of models like PutraGPT, prioritising Bahasa Melayu/Nusantara, Islamic jurisprudence and regional languages,' he said. Fong said developing the nation's own AI system would also pave the way for a Malaysian Large Language Model (LLM) consortium, open data-driven AI innovation and export-ready frameworks. 'The LLM could bring together universities, MNCs, GLCs and start-ups to train sovereign models using ethically-sourced local datasets. 'Government agencies should anonymise and release datasets (health, law, commerce) to stimulate trustworthy AI development when adopting open data for AI innovation. 'We can also develop export frameworks and certifications – such as halal certification standards – so that AI models are certifiable for compliance, ethics and privacy, especially to build trust in Islamic and Asean markets,' he added. When developing AI, Fong said the government must consider investing in three strategic pillars: talent, infrastructure and IP ownership. He said Malaysia needs a strong pipeline of AI engineers, data scientists and computational linguists, supported through focused education, public-private partnerships and incentives to retain talent locally. He added that Malaysia must also establish national AI compute infrastructure, including sovereign cloud services, GPUs and secure data centres to support large-scale model training and experimentation. 'IP ownership is essential to shift policies to prioritise ownership of algorithms, datasets and models – especially for sectors like finance, halal trade, cybersecurity and Bahasa Melayu/Nusantara applications where we have domain edge and regional relevance.' 'If we can develop AI that is context-aware for Asean or Islamic financial systems, Malaysia can lead in culturally and linguistically aligned AI exports, rather than competing head-on with Silicon Valley,' he said. With partnerships like MyEG-BeiTou, where Malaysia contributes data and policy access while the core technology remains foreign-owned, Fong said the country must remain cautious when relying on foreign-based AI systems. 'While it may represent short-term digital progress by enabling adoption and government integration, it also sets a precedent: data flows out, while value flows into others. This is digital dependence masked as digital development. 'True progress means co-developing and co-owning the intellectual property. If Malaysians provide the data, the insights and the use case validation, then Malaysians must also hold equity in the resulting tech,' he added.

Strengthening ties: Ahmad Zahid (third from right) holding a meeting with Reed (second from left) in Whitehall, England. — Bernama Green energy, trade, tech and TVET feature in bilateral talks LONDON: Malaysia is looking to strengthen its bilateral cooperation with the United Kingdom in several strategic sectors following a meeting between Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and British Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Steve Reed. In discussing bilateral cooperation between Malaysia and the United Kingdom, Ahmad Zahid said he expressed Malaysia's commitment to become the Asean Hub for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Certification and Excellence. "The focus will be on high-value industries such as semiconductors, electric vehicles (EV), aerospace and green energy. "I also conveyed Malaysia's intention to expand collaboration with UK academic institutions and industries to enhance TVET training, certification and the employability of Malaysian graduates," he told reporters during a working visit here on Monday. On rural development, Ahmad Zahid said the country is keen to learn from the UK's approach in transforming rural areas into sustainable economic growth zones. "We also discussed matters related to disaster management, access to clean water and the use of new technologies to strengthen resilience against global climate change," he said. Several issues concerning the environment were also discussed, especially on ways to overcome the problem of polluted rivers. "Malaysia needs to learn how the UK dealt with rehabilitating polluted rivers. "We need to take heed of how polluted rivers have become a thing of the past in the UK as we are still facing the same problem. "The first step to learning from them is to raise public awareness of the problem with polluted rivers," he said. Ahmad Zahid said both him and Reed agreed that sustainable programmes to preserve the environment were vital to moving forward. "Both of us concurred that leaders come and go but such programmes must continue," he added. The meeting also touched on renewable energy cooperation, including a proposal to reactivate the Asean Power Grid and explore investment opportunities in solar and green energy, he said. "The UK's establishment of GB Energy, a national clean energy company, was noted as a positive signal of its strong commitment to the green agenda. "I expressed Malaysia's readiness to be a strategic partner in this development," he said. In addition, Ahmad Zahid said he highlighted the potential of Islamic financial instruments such as sukuk to support climate finance and sustainable development cooperation. "This includes bolstering the global halal industry through the establishment of a World Halal Council and a unified halal logo, which aims to reinforce international consumer confidence in Malaysia's standards," he added. Ahmad Zahid said both countries reaffirmed their commitment to strengthen trade ties, including through frameworks such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, and increasing business-to-business (B2B) engagement between the private sectors of both nations. "I believe this meeting has opened new avenues to elevate Malaysia-UK cooperation to a more strategic level, especially in building a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient future," he said. On Monday night, Ahmad Zahid hosted a gathering for Malaysians including 60 Mara-sponsored students based in the United Kingdom. He advised the students about giving back to the country once they have finished their studies. "While the salaries here (UK) might be substantially higher, returning and helping to develop the country further is priceless and much more meaningful." Ahmad Zahid arrived in London on Sunday night for a four-day working visit to the United Kingdom.
