Anwar: No need to dissolve Economy Ministry
Anwar has stressed that there is no necessity to dissolve the Economy Ministry and any new ministerial appointment will only be made at an appropriate time. – Bernama photo KUALA LUMPUR (June 16): Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has stressed that there is no necessity to dissolve the Economy Ministry and any new ministerial appointment will only be made at an appropriate time. Anwar explained that the Economy Ministry, which was formerly the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) under the Prime Minister's Department, was elevated to a full ministry during Pakatan Harapan's first administration. 'There is no issue of a change (in ministerial structure). The structure is determined by the Cabinet and me, so for now, I don't see any need for a reshuffle,' he told reporters after officiating at Energy Asia 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today. On the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), scheduled to be tabled in Parliament this July, Anwar said it is a collective responsibility of the Cabinet, with the Economy Ministry serving as the main secretariat. He added that various adjustments and reforms are underway in light of the changing economic landscape, including tariff revisions that are impacting key national projections. 'Last week, we also held a meeting to hear input from ministries on policy adjustments being introduced,' he said. On May 28, Economy Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Rafizi Ramli tendered his resignation and went on leave, which ends today. On the resignation of Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, Anwar said the matter has not been finalised as he wishes to allow time and space before making a decision. 'I usually wait, give them a chance. Reflect, consider, and I will give my view. If possible, I'd like him to continue his service; there's still time before his resignation takes effect,' he said. Nik Nazmi also tendered his resignation on May 28 and has gone on leave until July 3. When asked about the proposed adjustments involving RON95 petrol prices, Anwar reiterated that it will not affect 85 to 90 per cent of the population. He said the opposition's claims that people are suffering due to the subsidy rationalisation policy are nothing more than desperate political gimmicks aimed at creating a negative image of the government. Anwar said the government's move towards subsidy rationalisation is a critical step to ensure sufficient national resources are channelled effectively to benefit the lower-income group. 'We want to have enough resources to help the poor, to enhance the quality of education and to provide better public services, including in healthcare,' he said. The Prime Minister added that the government is committed to implementing the policy despite criticisms, as it forms part of broader economic reforms aimed at long-term fiscal sustainability. anwar ibrahim Cabinet Economy Ministry Mohd Rafizi Ramli nik nazmi

Indonesia, EU Launch EU Desk To Deepen Investment Ties
By Mohd Iswandi Kasan Anuar JAKARTA, June 16 (Bernama) -- Indonesia and the European Union have launched a dedicated EU Desk to enhance strategic bilateral economic engagement between the two sides, while positioning Indonesia as a key destination for European investment in Southeast Asia, officials said. Based at Indonesia's Investment and Downstreaming Ministry, the facility will serve as a central hub for EU investors, offering market intelligence, business licensing guidance, investment opportunity mapping, and support for regulatory standardisation. bootstrap slideshow 'This initiative also reflects our commitment to support the acceleration of the Indonesia-EU Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (I-EU CEPA), which we hope to finalise before the end of the year,' said Minister Rosan Perkasa Roeslani in a statement. EU Ambassador to Indonesia Denis Chaibi said the desk symbolised a shared ambition to promote quality and sustainable investment, noting that only a small share of the EU's estimated US$11 trillion in global investments currently flows to the republic. 'We want to increase investment in areas where Europe excels such as renewable energy, water management, waste processing, and advanced technologies,' he added. Between 2019 and the first quarter of 2025, EU investment in Indonesia totalled US$13 billion, according to the ministry. Key sectors included chemicals and pharmaceuticals (US$2.1 billion), utilities (US$1.9 billion), and transport and communications (US$1.07 billion). -- BERNAMA
