Dutch Lady unveils new modern distribution centre in Bandar Enstek
KUALA LUMPUR: Dutch Lady Milk Industries Bhd (DLMI) today launched its new state-of-the-art distribution centre in Bandar Enstek, Negri Sembilan.
The launch marks a significant milestone for the company as it celebrates its 62nd anniversary, and follows the inauguration of the DLMI@Enstek site just a year ago.
The 13-hectare centre, completed in just under nine months, broke ground in August 2024 and was finalised by April this year.
The facility is designed to support DLMI's end-to-end production and distribution capabilities, with a storage capacity of nearly 25,000 pallets.
DLMI managing director Veronika Winanti Wahyu Utami said the new distribution centre will significantly improve supply chain efficiency across Malaysia.
"This new distribution centre is not just a facility. It is designed to strengthen our supply chain, support sustainable practices, and better serve our customers across the country," she said in a statement.
She added the construction was also made possible through construction partners WSP Engineering Malaysia Sdn Bhd, TechnyGroup Holdings (M) Sdn Bhd and Trip Guard Sdn Bhd.
"As part of DLMI's sustainability commitment, the facility will be equipped with solar panels by the end of 2025.
"This green initiative is projected to cut 20-25 per cent of DLMI's electricity needs and reduce carbon emissions by 13-16 per cent compared to 2022," she added.
The facility is fully integrated with the dairy group's manufacturing plant, both physically and digitally, to streamline operations, boost storage efficiency and reduce human error.
FrieslandCampina chief supply chain officer David Cutter emphasised that the project reflects a long-term commitment to Malaysia in providing better nutrition for all Malaysians.
The establishment of the new centre was made possible with the support of the Federal government and state agencies.
This includes the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, Invest Negri Sembilan, the State Department of Islamic Affairs of Negri Sembilan and the Seremban City Council.

Citizens must not be burdened by enforcement of expanded SST
MCA Youth urges the government to seriously reconsider the manner in which it is implementing the expanded Sales and Services Tax (SST). The confusion we are currently witnessing is not just a matter of poor coordination; it is a matter of public trust and economic fairness. The government must answer a very simple yet critical question: is the expanded SST enforcement to be based on what is officially written in the Government Gazette, or on verbal explanations given by the Finance Ministry's spokespersons? This lack of clarity is unacceptable in tax policy, especially one that affects the daily cost of living for ordinary Malaysians.

Bank Negara, Recoda team up to improve financial reach in rural Sarawak
Mohd Safri (sixth right) presents a memento to Rantai, while others look on. MIRI (June 13): The Highland Development Agency (HDA) office recently hosted a courtesy visit from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) Regional Office Kuching, led by its Head Rantai Naga, in conjunction with the central bank's working visit to Miri. The visit reinforced BNM's strategic commitment to ensuring that all Malaysians – especially those in rural and remote areas – have access to financial services. This includes physical access via Financial Access Points (FAPs), bank agents (EBs), cash recycle machines (CRM), and conventional bank branches or digital platforms. According to the Regional Corridor Development Authority (Recoda), six 'mukims' (districts) in Sarawak still lack FAP coverage. This includes three in the Miri Division – Bario, Mulu, and Long Bedian. During the session, Recoda director (Project Management Division) Mohammad Safri Ibrahim provided a comprehensive briefing on the proposed road network in northern Sarawak. This includes Northern Coastal Highway (NCH), Sarawak-Sabah Link Road (SSLR) Phase 1 & Phase 2, Miri-Marudi-Mulu-Long Lama, Sarawak Border Road (Long Banga-Bario-Bakelalan), as well as plans to improve rural connectivity between Long Lama and Long Bedian. The Public Works Department (JKR) Sarawak, led by SSLR project manager John Wong, presented an update on the current progress of SSLR Phases 1 and 2 during the visit. 'The improved infrastructure is expected to further facilitate financial inclusion and spur socio-economic growth in highland communities,' said Recoda. The collaboration between stakeholders underlines the importance of integrated planning that supports not only infrastructure but also financial accessibility in underserved communities, it added.

FINEXUS' Kayaaku – Malaysia's First E-wallet to Integrate with MyDigital ID
FINEXUS' Kayaaku Wallet became the first e-wallet in Malaysia to integrate with MyDigital ID, allowing users to now have an alternative single sign-on login option, in addition to the e-wallet's existing password and biometrics. MyDigital ID is a government initiative for a secure and trusted digital identity solution, which facilitates identity verification using the government database without storing any personal data. With MyDigital ID, the government hopes to curb scams, which cost Malaysians a whopping RM53.34 billion in 2024 with identity theft covering 21% of all scam types. In fact, Malaysia recorded the highest rate of personal data leaks among key Asian markets according to Whoscall, with close to three-fourths (72.5%) of Malaysian users discovering that their information had been compromised. 'We are proud to be Malaysia's first e-wallet to integrate with MyDigital ID, combining convenience with security. Kayaaku users now have an alternative option to securely access their wallet and other MyDigital ID-integrated platforms using a single password, backed by robust digital verification process and cybersecurity measures,' said Clement Loh, Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FINEXUS. 'Our FINEXUS' Kayaaku Wallet and MyXaaS Programme Partners can now enjoy enhanced benefits from our banking-grade security. Already, all of our applications and portals are hosted within our fully owned local data centres, ensuring data sovereignty in a highly secure digital environment,' he continued. With over 2.3 million Malaysians registered for MyDigital ID, Malaysians with MyDigital ID can start accessing various government applications and portals including MySejahtera, MyJPJ, and MyBayar, with future efforts by JPN (National Registration Department) to automatically register every 12-year-old when obtaining their MyKad. 'MyDigital ID plays a pivotal role in strengthening digital trust and security across Malaysia's digital ecosystem. As the only digital identity platform officially recognised by the Government of Malaysia, MyDigital ID ensures strong cybersecurity and protects Malaysians in the digital realm,' said Nik Hisham Nik Ibrahim, Chief Executive Officer of My Digital ID Sdn Bhd. 'We welcome the integration of MyDigital ID by Kayaaku by FINEXUS in the e-wallet sector, and look forward to seeing more fintech players and service providers across industries adopt this national trust infrastructure in support of secure and seamless digital interactions.' Besides providing robust security for its applications, FINEXUS also enables MyXaaS Programme Partners to create a licensed and regulated e-wallet supporting fund transfers and both local and cross-border payments via DuitNow, Mastercard, Alipay, Alipay+, and Visa. Users can opt for physical Mastercard or Visa prepaid cards linked to their e-wallet. Another notable feature is request-to-pay, which allows users to easily initiate and manage payment requests. As a strategic FinTech enabler, FINEXUS supports its partners with regulatory compliance, continuous application enhancements, customer service for e-wallet users, and backroom business processing operations, including fraud detection and settlements. Partners also have the opportunity to become merchants and/or agents for their acquiring or point-of-sale services.
