TAR UMT students to gain industry-ready audit skills through new tie-up
Both parties signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) recently to kick off a partnership aimed at narrowing the gap between academic theory and real-world audit practice.
As part of the tie-up, a new course titled Software Applications for Accountants will launch this November under TAR UMT's Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) (RPA) programme.
The course, which will be compulsory for students in the programme, will feature AMC Insight – a smart audit software powered by artificial intelligence, developed by AMC Group and made available through Cheers Education.
Students who complete the course will gain not just technical skills but also partial exemption from the Cheers Certified Associates (CCA) programme, helping them fast-track their journey toward full certification.
TAR UMT graduates will also get access to audit simulation training and job matching services, equipping them with tools and exposure that can give them a head start in their careers.

M'sian designers shine in Tokyo
Eco-innovation: Lew's 'Mangrove Living Museum' seamlessly blends architecture with nature. Malaysia recently made waves on the global design stage. Going head-to-head with top talents from over 16 countries and regions, Malaysia's national winners rose to the challenge at the AYDA Awards and Creative Colour Awards (CCA) 2024/2025 Grand Finale in Tokyo, Japan, on June 20. Lew received the 'Best Sustainable Design Award' for his project. They brought home four awards, proving that Malaysian creativity, purpose and design excellence truly stand tall on the world stage. From young student designers tackling real-world issues to professional architects transforming schools and housing into vibrant, meaningful spaces, these wins reflect the depth of Malaysia's design community and its commitment to people-first innovation. At the AYDA Awards, Lew Wai Fong from Universiti Malaya earned the 'Best Sustainable Design Award' in the architectural category for his project, Tanjung Piai's Mangrove Living Museum. His vision includes a regenerative space designed to preserve one of Malaysia's most threatened ecosystems while reconnecting local communities with nature. 'I wanted to show that sustainability and beauty can co-exist and that we don't have to choose between progress and preservation,' said Lew, who took home US$1,000 (RM4,250) for his effort. Meanwhile, Tan Ee Wei of Equator College, Penang, received an Honorary Mention (Interior Design) for HomeSEED, a resilience training centre for the homeless in George Town. 'This project was born from a place of deep empathy for my community. I hope it shows that design can offer hope, structure and skills,' said Tan, who received US$500 (RM2,125). Nippon Paint Malaysia general manager Tay Sze Tuck said these forward-thinking and innovative students are curating blueprints for a kinder, more sustainable country. 'What's inspiring is how these young designers aren't waiting for change; they're making it through design, and using creativity to respond to the issues we face as a society,' he said. At the CCA, FEI Architect won the 'Best in Public Spaces Award' for transforming SMJK Poi Lam's multipurpose hall in Ipoh, Perak, into an eye-catching structure. The company was awarded US$2,500 (RM10,623). The CCA 'Architectural Best in Residential Exterior Award' was presented to Mak Arkitek Konsult for V21 Residence@KKIP, a social housing project designed for workers of the Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park in Sabah. The company was also awarded US$2,500. Tay said Malaysia's wins were a beautiful reminder that design excellence isn't confined to any one stage of life. 'Whether you're just starting out or already shaping skylines, what matters is purpose, creativity and heart. These four winners have all of that and more.'

STRENGTHENING WORKERS' RIGHTS, ENHANCING PRODUCTIVITY
Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia is firmly on track to building a more progressive and equitable labour market. 2025 marks the implementation of two key initiatives – the new Minimum Wage Order (MWO) and the Progressive Wage Policy (PWP) – aimed at strengthening workers' rights, boosting labour productivity and fostering a more inclusive and sustainable national economy. Progressive wages The MWO came into effect on Feb 1 for employers with five or more employees, as well as for employers in the professional sector regardless of employee count. 'For employers with fewer than five employees, the effective date is Aug 1, a move that will ensure workers receive a minimum basic wage of RM1,700 per month, in line with the rising cost of living,' says Human Resources Minister Steven Sim recently. 'The government introduced PWP as a comprehensive, long-term measure that takes a productivity-based approach. It links wage growth to skills development and employee contributions,' he continues. Formally implemented in January this year, the policy follows a pilot phase held between June and August last year. This shows a shift in strategy during the 12th Malaysia Plan Mid-Term Review, to raise wages and ensure a balanced income distribution. Opportunity in both ways The PWP is guided by three main principles: voluntary participation, incentive-based structure and a strong link to productivity. Registered local companies will receive monthly cash incentives up to RM300 per employee once registered until December 2027, depending on the employee category and wage increment achieved. Entry-level workers will receive a maximum incentive of RM200 per month. If the wage gap between the employee's current salary and the entry-level wage specified in the PWP Implementation Guideline exceeds RM200 per month, employers must raise wages by at least RM200. If the gap is less than RM200, the wage increase must be aligned with the guideline's recommendation. Non-entry level employees can fetch incentives up to RM300, based on their annual wage increment achieved. Employers must meet minimum 21 hours per year training requirements as one of the prerequisites for PWP incentive claims. However, 21 hours training that were not completed in 2025 can carry forward until December 2026. This allows employees to complete a minimum of 42 hours in 2026, or have undergone Recognition of Prior Achievement (RPA). In 2027, employees should have a minimum of 21 hours, or completion of RPA, which allows them to upskill and become more competitive. Employers will benefit from a more capable and productive workforce. Strategic investment 'PWP represents a smart long-term investment for employers. Besides the financial incentives, it helps companies boost operational efficiency by building a more skilled and motivated workforce,' explains Sim. Participating companies will also be recognised as Progressive Wage Employers – a status that enhances the organisation's credibility and reputation among clients, employees and industry peers. 'This will be vital for local businesses and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which make up 97% of the country's industrial landscape, Through PWP, these businesses can strengthen their competitiveness while contributing to a more resilient and sustainable labour market,' he elaborates. Contributing to nation's growth In the macroeconomic viewpoint, PWP is expected to contribute significantly to national growth. Higher household incomes will stimulate domestic demand, which supports GDP growth. A fairer wage structure will attract higher-quality investments and reduce reliance on low-paid foreign labour. With an initial RM200mil allocation under Budget 2025, the PWP aims to benefit 50,000 workers in its initial phase. This could make Malaysia a high-income nation with the workforce as a key driver of progress, and toward a more progressive wage system. With fairer wages, the people's purchasing power increases, companies become more competitive and result in a more balanced, inclusive national economy. It will elevate Malaysia to the ranks of high-income nations that prioritise dignity, values and quality of life. As of July 2025, a total of 173,325 individuals have registered for the MADANI Workers' Card, with 147,534 completed applications submitted. And so far, 11,587 workers have successfully received their digital cards, while the rest are currently undergoing the verification process by their respective unions. Building the future today PWP also sends out a clear message that Malaysia's economic growth must be underpinned by a fair and forward-looking wage system, not just minimum wage compliance or periodic salary adjustments. 'Progressive Wages, Thriving Workers' is a call to value labour, not just as a source of productivity, but as a national asset for advancement. 'PWP is an opportunity for Malaysia to build a fairer work environment where businesses can grow alongside workers, and the economy to be more competitive,' stresses Sim. 'We encourage employers to join PWP, not just a social responsibility move, but a smart business strategy. Employees can also take this chance to embrace the upskilling opportunities provided. 'Only through strong collaboration between the public sector, the private and the workforce can the MADANI aspiration – of a values-based, socially just economy – be fully realised,' he says. Sim adds that a job that rewards fair wages restores not only income, but dignity and recognition for every worker. To learn more or to register for the PWP, visit:

Sabah to acquire 25 per cent equity in Petronas ZNLG facility
Hajiji, together with Petronas Group President and Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik, witnessing the exchange of documents between Petronas LNG Sdn Bhd (represented by Vice President, LNG Marketing & Trading – Petronas Gas & Maritime, Shamsairi Mohd Ibrahim) and SMJ Energy Sdn Bhd (Datuk Dr Dionysia Kibat) at the signing ceremony of the Heads of Agreement at the Malaysian Petroleum Club (MPC) in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday. KUALA LUMPUR (July 17): The Sabah Government, through SMJ Energy (SMJE) will be acquiring 25 per cent equity in the USD3.1 billion nearshore floating liquefied natural gas (ZLNG) facility in Sipitang following the signing of the Head of Agreement (HOA) with Petronas at the Malaysian Petroleum Club (MPC) here on Thursday. 'This partnership marks another significant milestone to ensure Sabah's long-term development goals, promoting industrial growth and energy security and creating new opportunities to drive Sabah's progress. 'Through strategic investments like ZLNG, we will strengthen the state's economic resilience while ensuring that the benefits of Sabah's natural resources directly contribute to the well-being of our people,' said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor after witnessing the HOA signing. The ZLNG facility with a capacity of two million tonnes per annum (MTPA) represents a significant addition to Malaysia's LNG landscape. Positioned nearshore in Sipitang, ZLNG is currently under construction and is expected to commence operations in the second half of 2027. This project complements Sabah's growing LNG footprint, in addition to two other floating LNG facilities, PFLNG1 (1.2 MTPA) and PFLNG2 (1.5 MTPA), currently operating in Sabah waters. The State Government also announced its intention to acquire a 40 per cent participating interest in PFLNG1 through SMJ Energy, with due diligence targeted to begin in the second half of 2025. SMJ Energy's growth trajectory since the signing of the Commercial Collaboration Agreement (CCA) with Petronas in December 2021 has been rapid. The company now holds 50 per cent equity in the Samarang PSC oil production asset, 10 per cent equity in LNG9, 25 per cent equity in the SAMUR petrochemical complex and full ownership of Sabah International Petroleum (SIP), which operates both FPSO and FSO assets. SMJ Energy also holds free carry and back-in rights in exploration blocks SB409 (20%), SB403 (20%), SB306A (15%) and SB306B (15%) 'We are a prudent financial investor with a disciplined approach to portfolio building. Our entry into ZLNG is part of our strategic plan to further diversify and strengthen our position in the upstream, LNG, and petrochemical sectors. 'This opportunity aligns with our mandate to generate long-term, stable cash flows from high-quality, cash-generating assets,' said SMJ Energy Chief Executive Officer Datuk Dr Dionysia Kibat. Sabah's downstream ambitions are also advancing rapidly. Sabah Energy Corporation (SEC), the state's gas aggregator and distributor, plays a crucial role in ensuring a stable domestic gas supply for Sabah's industries. One of its landmark projects includes supplying gas to E-Steel's RM31 billion green steel plant at the Sipitang Oil and Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP), a key investment supporting Sabah's move toward industrial diversification. Also present at the signing ceremony were Sabah Finance Minister an SMJE chairman Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun, State Secretary Datuk Seri Safar Untung and State Attorney General Datuk Brenndon Soh.
