SC upcoming capital market roadmap to align with 13th Malaysia Plan, NETR
KUALA LUMPUR: The Securities Commission Malaysia's (SC) upcoming Capital Market Masterplan 4 (CMP4) will align with current national priorities, including the 13th Malaysia Plan, the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and other government economic initiatives.
SC chairman Datuk Mohammad Faiz Azmi said this will give momentum to capital mobilisation for transition, adaptation and climate resilience financing.
"We hope to increase the amount of green investments to support our energy transition and to help prepare for a hotter future,' he said in his welcoming address at the Eco-Business Conference 2025 today.
Mohammad Faiz had previously highlighted that this year, the SC will begin the process of shaping views and insights over the long term, including vision and objectives, in developing CMP4, which succeeds CMP3 (2021-2025).
At the same event, he said the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF) was launched in September 2024 to ensure consistent and comparable sustainability reporting by corporate Malaysia and to align with the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
"Our efforts have already earned Malaysia international recognition by the IFRS Foundation for being one of the first adopters of the ISSB standards in ASEAN.
"This year marks the first phase of NSRF implementation involving large Main Market issuers above RM2 billion in market capitalisation - some 130 companies - and we will see the fruits of their work next year when the annual reports are finalised for 2025,' he added. - Bernama

KPKT To Introduce Public Cleansing Reform Under 13MP
KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) is set to introduce the Public Cleansing Reform under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), marking a major shift in the national cleaning management landscape. Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said key reforms under the initiative would include dust-free road efforts, the use of electric vehicles (EVs) for night cleaning operations, and the introduction of a Single Window Payment Monitoring System. 'Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will table the 13MP in Parliament tomorrow, and among the core pillars to be announced under the plan is the Public Cleansing Reform. 'I believe that with the advancement of technology, the cleaning sector must also adapt to new innovations that will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of daily operations,' he said in his speech at the 2025 Cleaners' Day Appreciation Ceremony here today. The ceremony was organised by the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp) to recognise the contributions and sacrifices of cleaning personnel in maintaining the cleanliness and harmony of public spaces. Nga also proposed that the event be held annually to honour the dedication and contributions of cleaning workers in the country. He said the work of cleaning personnel was noble and urged society to shift its perception and extend proper respect to the sector. Commenting on enforcement measures, he said the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing (Amendment) Bill 2025, which was passed in the Dewan Rakyat last week, would enable courts to impose fines and community service orders on individuals found guilty of littering in public areas. 'Therefore, I urge all Malaysians to be more responsible about cleanliness, not out of fear of punishment but out of love for the country. Let us cultivate a sense of collective responsibility for a cleaner, healthier and more prosperous future,' he said.

Academician: Set up new ministry or central body to implement 13th Malaysia Plan effectively
AN academician has called for the setting up of a new ministry or central agency to specifically monitor and coordinate the effective implementation of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) and to develop measurable milestones to ensure the plan's long-term sustainability. Making the call, Malaysia Institute of Transport (MiTRANS) director and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) associate professor Dr Wan Mazlina Wan Mohamed said such a body would serve as a central coordinating agency to drive long-term, whole-of-government reforms effectively. She emphasised that annual progress reports should be published to promote transparency and track outcomes. 'Plans should not be implemented without proper oversight,' she said. To address these issues, Wan Mazlina said that the proposed ministry or central agency would be able to consistently monitor policy implementation progress over the next decade. 'This particularly includes developing measurable milestones and conducting periodic reviews to ensure the sustainability of the policy,' she told Bernama. She cautioned that without such a coordinating body, the implementation of development programmes under the 13MP would continue to suffer from fragmented execution, with different agencies and ministries working in silos and lacking coordination. The absence of measurable outcomes, she added, also makes it difficult to assess a policy's effectiveness. 'Plans may exist on paper, but without proper execution mechanisms, they risk falling victim to policy fatigue and missed opportunities, especially in responding to fast-evolving trends in mobility, logistics, sustainability and digitalisation,' she said. As such, Wan Mazlina said the appointment of a central coordinating body is vital to ensure the smooth and effective implementation of 13MP. Wan Mazlina said the proposed central body should serve as a coordinating agency to effectively drive long-term, whole-of-government reforms. It should also develop a clear roadmap with defined timelines and performance indicators to ensure structured and accountable implementation across existing ministries. 'The agency would coordinate efforts across ministries and state governments, while also engaging the private sector and civil society for broader collaboration. 'Annual progress reports should be published to ensure transparency and track measurable outcomes. Most importantly, having a dedicated body would allow policies to be reviewed and adapted in response to evolving global and local challenges,' she said. Elaborating on the transport sector, Wan Mazlina opined that upgrading Malaysia's airports should be prioritised under the 13MP to support the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign. She noted that without upgrading and modernisation of the airports, the country risks falling behind regional competitors, compromising both visitor experience and logistical capacity. 'Regional competitors like Singapore (Changi) and Thailand (Suvarnabhumi) are aggressively upgrading their airports, which is why Malaysia must do the same to stay competitive, as airports play a significant role in shaping visitors' first and last impression of the country,' she said. She pointed out that Malaysia should expand terminal capacity at key international gateways such as Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Penang, Langkawi, and Kota Kinabalu, and enhance immigration and customs clearance systems through automation, including e-gates and biometric systems. In addition, she stressed the importance of supporting the development of domestic and secondary airports, particularly in Terengganu, Sabah, Sarawak, and at Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) airports. 'These upgrades are crucial to accommodate rising domestic tourism, support rural development, and strengthen air cargo services, particularly those linked to e-commerce and the agriculture sectors,' she added. — BERNAMA
