MOT To Hold TXA 2025 As Platform For Industry Players In Transport, Logistics
GENERAL
SEPANG, June 24 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Transport (MOT) will for the first time organise the Transport Expo Asia (TXA) 2025 from Nov 11 to 13, as a platform to bring together industry players in the transport and logistics sector.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the organisation of TXA 2025 strengthens Malaysia's role as a regional leader in the competitive transport and logistics sector.
He said it brings together policymakers, industry players, academics and technology providers to shape a smarter and more sustainable future of mobility and trade.
"TXA 2025 is a platform for us to discuss and also shape a more sustainable and greener future for our country's transport facilities and trade," he said in a press conference after launching TXA 2025 here today.
Loke said TXA is an additional event to the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) but it focuses on industry players in the transport sector.
He said the Cabinet had allowed the Transport Ministry to organise another event because LIMA would focus on defence while TXA would focus on transport and logistics.
'This year, MOT will not be the organiser of LIMA. TXA 2025 will be the inaugural edition of the biennial TXA series, with TXA 2026 planned for the third quarter of next year,' he said, adding that the location of the event would be determined later.
He said among the important programmes organised with TXA 2025 was the 2025 Road Safety Congress, which would continue in the 2026 edition as an official annual event.
'This congress is being held to raise awareness and cooperation in strengthening road safety in Malaysia,' he said.

Ukraine Appeals To Malaysia To Strengthen Humanitarian Assistance
Charge d'Affaires ad interim of the Embassy of Ukraine in Malaysia, Denys Mykhailiuk featuring on Bernama TV's programme, The Nation. By Nur Atiq Maisarah Suhaimi & & Nur Elysa Amirah Suhaimi KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 (Bernama) -- Ukraine has appealed to Malaysia to strengthen its humanitarian assistance, citing urgent needs for medical supplies, rescue equipment and post-conflict recovery support. The Charge d'Affaires ad interim of the Embassy of Ukraine in Malaysia, Denys Mykhailiuk, said the most vital needs at this time also include rescue operations, post-conflict demining, and forensic investigations into alleged war crimes, as well as engineering and energy equipment. bootstrap slideshow "We need everything, but what is needed for immediate needs is something for the emergency response, field hospitals, bloodstopping equipment, surgical equipment and engineering and energy equipment. 'Malaysian manufacturing is very much in need. To rebuild the infrastructure and bridges and remove the rubble, we need excavators, bulldozers, trucks, and other heavy machinery. "We also need significant international assistance. If Malaysia can participate, it would be nice," he said. Mykhailiuk was met after appearing on Bernama TV's programme 'The Nation, Bridging Continents: Malaysia & Ukraine Relations In Focus', hosted by Nadiah Abdul Latif, here on Tuesday. On February 2023, the Malaysian government – through the Health Ministry (MoH) – contributed medical aid worth RM227,984 to the Ukraine government, consisting of medicine such as Levothyroxine Sodium 100 mcg tablets, Fentanyl Citrate 50mcg/millilitre (ml) in 2ml injections, Amikacin 250mg/ml in 2ml injections and Propofol 10mg/ml injection. Mykhailiuk added that Ukraine envisioned Malaysia playing a pivotal role as an early partner in its fast recovery plan to rebuild national infrastructure once the conflict ends.

Sabah's Pan Borneo Highway Package 20 lagging at just 1.6% completion
Shahelmey LAHAD DATU (June 24): Physical progress on Package 20 of the Pan Borneo Highway project in Sabah remains low at just 1.6 per cent, despite the Letter of Acceptance (SST) having been issued nearly eight months ago, Deputy Chief Minister III Datuk Shahelmey Yahya said. The Sabah Works Minister said the delay was mainly due to ongoing land and property assessment processes, which are still being actively carried out. As such, he has instructed the contractor and all related parties to take proactive measures to ensure smoother progress and timely development of the package. 'Although the progress of Package 20 is still within the contractual schedule, the percentage is relatively low,' he told reporters after inspecting the Package 20 construction site of the Pan Borneo Highway here Tuesday. Package 20 is part of Phase 1B of the Pan Borneo Highway in Sabah, with a construction period of 36 to 48 months. It involves the South East alignment from Tawau to Lahad Datu, covering Packages 16 to 20. Shahelmey also instructed the contractor to identify sections within Package 20 that are unaffected by land acquisition issues so that physical works such as clearing and alignment formation can proceed without delay. 'So far, clearing and alignment formation works have begun on at least one kilometre, and I hope progress will continue to improve from time to time,' he said. He also reminded all stakeholders, including the Public Works Department (JKR), the contractor and the project office to anticipate potential risks early to minimise disruptions within the contract period. At the same time, he stressed the importance of maintaining existing roads still in use by the public, urging serious attention to traffic safety and management throughout the highway's construction period. – Bernama

Ringgit rises against US dollar at the close on easing tensions in Middle East
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit ended higher against the US dollar, buoyed by the apparent ceasefire in the Israel-Iran conflict, said an economist. At 6 pm, the local note rose to 4.2410/2465 versus the greenback from Monday's close of 4.2915/2980. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the de-escalation also led benchmark Brent crude oil prices to retreat to US$69.56 per barrel as risks to global oil supply appear contained for now. "Financial markets are responding with a sense of relief, and risk appetite is gradually returning. "Still, it's early days. Investors remain cautious amid lingering uncertainties - particularly with the US tariff pause set to expire in early July,' he told Bernama. On the domestic front, Mohd Afzanizam said Malaysia's latest consumer price index (CPI) reading of 1.2 per cent reinforces the view that monetary policy remains tight, with real interest rates rising further. "In summary, market sentiment may stay guarded in the short term, while policymakers are likely to remain vigilant in balancing growth and stability,' he added. At the closing, the ringgit traded mostly lower against a basket of major currencies. It trended lower against the Japanese yen at 2.9256/9296 from 2.9028/9074 at Monday's close, declined versus the British pound to 5.7707/7782 from 5.7437/7524, but improved against the euro to 4.9225/9289 from 4.9236/9311 previously. The local note trended higher against its ASEAN counterparts. It advanced vis-a-vis the Indonesian rupiah to 259.3/259.7 from 260.2/260.7 at yesterday's close and gained against the Philippine peso to 7.41/7.44 from 7.44/7.46. The ringgit also appreciated against the Singapore dollar to 3.3130/3178 from 3.3188/3243 and strengthened to 12.9793/13.0021 from 12.9998/13.0250 versus the Thai baht previously. - Bernama
