PM Anwar bids farewell to German envoy, emphasises sustainable ties
KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today reaffirmed Malaysia's commitment to strengthening bilateral relations with Germany, particularly in the areas of economy, education and culture.
During a farewell courtesy call by German Ambassador to Malaysia, Dr Peter Blomeyer, at his office in Putrajaya, Anwar said that comprehensive ties between both nations are expected to further deepen people-to-people connections and contribute to sustainable shared progress.
'In addition to expanding trade and investment opportunities, cooperation in education, including Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as cultural exchanges, can foster mutual understanding and appreciation of diversity,' he said in a post on his official Facebook page.
Malaysia and Germany have maintained diplomatic relations since 1957, which have continued to grow through collaboration in various strategic sectors.
Germany remains Malaysia's most important trading partner in the European Union (EU) and is also among the top foreign investors in the manufacturing, services and high-tech sectors. — Bernama

(Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will undertake an official visit to Italy, France and Brazil from tomorrow until July 7, which will include his participation at the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Senior press secretary to the prime minister Tunku Nashrul Abaidah said the visits to these major economic hubs – Rome, Paris and Rio de Janeiro – would strengthen Malaysia's diplomatic ties and trade relations with the three nations. He said the three markets collectively recorded bilateral trade valued at RM50.91 billion last year, Bernama reported. 'The visits present opportunities for rapid growth in sectors such as the economy, culture, technology and education,' he said during the Prime Minister's Office daily briefing. Anwar will also meet withy Malaysians and Muslim leaders during his visits. In Italy, he is slated to hold a bilateral meeting with his counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, to advance economic cooperation and pioneer joint cultural initiatives. In France, he is scheduled to meet with President Emmanuel Macron, with discussions focusing on trade, technology and education. Anwar will be in Rio de Janeiro from July 5 to 7, during which he will attend the 17th BRICS Summit at the invitation of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. 'Malaysia's role as a BRICS partner country and Asean chair for 2025 will emphasise the importance of multilateralism,' said Tunku Nashrul. Anwar will be accompanied by a business delegation, including representatives from major corporations and innovative enterprises. 'Some companies already have operations or business interests in Italy, France or Brazil, while others are exploring new investment opportunities to expand their global networks,' Tunku Nashrul said. Among those joining Anwar are representatives from Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), Khazanah Nasional Bhd, Sunway, and Maybank. Anwar and his delegation are expected to return home on July 9 and will proceed to attend the Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Kuala Lumpur on the same day. The delegation will be travelling on a chartered flight from Malaysia Airlines to proceed smoothly from one country to another without the need for long transits due to the packed travel itinerary. 'The cost of chartering the aircraft is also more economical compared to deploying a full government aircraft operation,' Tunku Nashrul said. He said the government will fully cover travel costs for official delegates, while the business delegates will bear their own expenses.

Govt open to factual criticism of tax system, says Anwar
The expanded sales and service tax will take effect on July 1. PUTRAJAYA : The government upholds transparency and is ready to accept any criticism of the taxation system, provided that it is based on facts, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said today. Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said criticism should be conveyed through the proper channels and not in the form of slander or verbal abuse. 'I noticed some university students complaining about electricity bill adjustments – I don't understand. 'Electricity rates have not gone up, so is it true that they are affected? If it's true, then we need to fix it because public universities are exempted,' he said in his speech at an assembly with staff from the Prime Minister's Department. 'Such matters, when spread in the name of freedom, can become avenues for slander and verbal abuse. So I hope, brothers, sisters, younger friends or children, please provide facts. I have no issue with people complaining or offering criticism,' he said. Anwar also said that the adjustment of electricity tariffs and the expansion of the sales and service tax (SST) were to ensure that those with greater financial means contribute a fairer share, while protecting segments of the population from undue financial pressure. 'If possible, we don't want to burden the people with taxes. If there are one or two cases where people are affected, we can make improvements. However, to outright oppose the electricity (tariff) adjustment – I think that's not right,' he said. On June 9, the government announced a targeted review of the sales tax rate and the expansion of the service tax, to take effect on July 1. On June 13 meanwhile, the Energy Commission announced that more than 23.6 million domestic users in Peninsular Malaysia would benefit from a fairer and more progressive electricity tariff structure, effective July 1, 2025 to Dec 31, 2027.

Hold thorough studies before rolling out policies, Abang Jo's aide tells govt
Putrajaya decided last week to exempt oranges, apples, mandarin oranges and dates from the expanded SST, which comes into effect tomorrow. (Envato Elements pic) PETALING JAYA : An aide to Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg has urged the federal government to conduct thorough studies and consultations with stakeholders before rolling out policies. Kho Teck Wan of the Sarawak United People's Party cited the expanded sales and service tax (SST) and e-invoicing for businesses as key policies that should have seen more studies and engagements held. She said last-minute changes to such major policies reflected a lack of engagement with stakeholders, The Borneo Post reported. While Kho welcomed the exemption of e-invoicing for businesses earning RM500,000 and below annually, she said this came at the last minute. 'The announcement was made weeks before the implementation, when most small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) already made the necessary changes, spent money on training, and purchased software in preparation for the e-invoice implementation. 'Now that the policy has suddenly changed, their investments have gone to waste. Their frustration and helplessness are understandable,' she said. The Inland Revenue Board has postponed the implementation of e-invoicing for businesses with under RM5 million in annual revenue to 2026, while exempting those earning less than RM500,000 a year. Businesses earning RM500,000 to RM25 million were initially required to file e-invoices from July 1 before the exemption and postponement was announced earlier this month. For the expanded SST, which comes into effect tomorrow, Putrajaya decided last week to exempt oranges, apples, mandarin oranges and dates, citing public feedback. The finance ministry also decided not to include beauty services like manicures, pedicures, facials and hairdressing, when an 8% service tax was set to be imposed for such services exceeding RM500,000 in a 12-month period.
