‘Govt can't do it all': Rafizi relaunches Ayuh Malaysia as movement to boost ‘third sector' social enterprises
KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 — Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli has today relaunched 'Ayuh Malaysia', a social enterprise initiative aimed at carrying out economic activities to benefit the society, rather than purely for profit. The former economy minister said Malaysia currently relies heavily on the public and private sectors to provide goods and services — with little focus on social enterprises, which he dubbed as the third sector. 'A sustainable society must have strong engagement with the third sector. At present, the ones providing goods, services, and assistance to the people are either the first sector, which is the public sector, or the second, which is the private sector. 'But the public sector has its limitations; without taxes and revenue, the government cannot continue spending indefinitely. The private sector, on the other hand, is driven by profit, so prices will keep rising,' he told reporters after launching Ayuh Malaysia here. The Pandan MP said Ayuh Malaysia was previously started in March 2022, but was disrupted by the 2022 general election and his subsequent appointment as a minister. 'In other countries, especially in situations like Malaysia's where the population is ageing, the third sector is absolutely crucial. Yet, if you go around Malaysia, hardly anyone talks about social enterprise,' Rafizi said when explaining his motivation. 'So when I was the minister of economy, during the drafting of the 13th Malaysia Plan, one key chapter was about establishing and strengthening the third sector in the country. But this needs to be driven by the people.' He said having a strong third sector will help ease the government's financial burden in the future. 'What's clear is that there will be economic benefits for the people, but more importantly, having a strong third sector will help ease the government's burden in the future,' he said. Rafizi added that Ayuh Malaysia will take six months to assess the response from the seven social enterprises participating in its pilot project. 'In Malaysia, the third sector is still in its infancy. We'll take six months to observe the response, the quality of ideas submitted, and the experience of those who step forward to lead because we want to ensure this doesn't become an avenue for people to take advantage and make money for themselves,' he said. Rafizi recently resigned from the Cabinet after losing the PKR deputy post to Nurul Izzah Anwar, the daughter of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. In March 2022, Rafizi launched the Ayuh Malaysia campaign to attract the support of voters on the fence as the country gears up for the 15th General Election. He had then said the decision to launch the campaign was taken after taking into account the results of the Johor state election and the views of various parties in PKR.

Humanoid robots embody China's AI ambitions
The Chinese government's push for robotics has some experts saying China might already have the upper hand over the US. (AFP pic) SHANGHAI : Serving craft beer, playing mahjong, stacking shelves and boxing, the dozens of humanoid robots at Shanghai's World AI Conference (WAIC) this weekend were embodiments of China's growing AI prowess and ambition. The annual event is primed at showcasing China's progress in the ever-evolving field of artificial intelligence, with the government aiming to position the country as a world leader on both technology and regulation as it snaps at the US' heels. Opening the event on Saturday, premier Li Qiang announced China would set up a new organisation for cooperation on AI governance, warning the benefits of development must be balanced with the risks. But in the cavernous expo next door, the mood was more giddy than concerned. 'Demand is currently very strong, whether in terms of data, scenarios, model training, or artificial construction. The overall atmosphere in all these areas is very lively,' said Yang Yifan, R&D director at Transwarp, a Shanghai-based AI platform provider. This year's WAIC is the first since a breakthrough moment for Chinese AI this January when startup DeepSeek unveiled an AI model that performed as well as top US systems for an apparent fraction of the cost. Organisers said the forum involved more than 800 companies, showcasing over 3,000 products – the undeniable crowd pleasers being the humanoid robots and their raft of slightly surreal party tricks. At one booth, a robot played drums, half a beat out of time, to Queen's 'We Will Rock You' while a man in safety goggles and a security vest hyped up a giggling crowd. Other droids, some dressed in working overalls or baseball caps, manned assembly lines, played curling with human opponents or sloppily served soft drinks from a dispenser. While most of the machines on display were still a little jerky, the increasing sophistication year-on-year was clear to see. The Chinese government has poured support into robotics, an area in which some experts think China might already have the upper hand over the US. At Hangzhou-based Unitree's stall, its G1 android – around 130cm tall, with a two-hour battery life – kicked, pivoted and punched, keeping its balance with relative fluidity as it shadowboxed around a ring. Ahead of the conference's opening, Unitree announced it would launch a full-size humanoid, the R1, for under US$6,000. 'Digital humans' Most high-tech helpers don't need hardware though. At the expo, AI companions – in the form of middle-aged businessmen, scantily clad women and ancient warriors – waved at people from screens, asking how their day was, while other stalls ran demos allowing visitors to create their own digital avatars. Tech giant Baidu on Saturday announced a new generation of technology for its 'digital humans' – AI agents modelled on real people, which it says are 'capable of thinking, making decisions, and collaborating'. The company recently ran a six-hour e-commerce broadcast hosted by the 'digital human' of a well-known streamer and another avatar. The two agents beat the human streamer's debut sales in some categories, Baidu said. Over ten thousand businesses are using the technology already, the department's head Wu Chenxia told AFP. Asked about the impact on jobs – one of the major concerns raised around widespread AI adoption – Wu insisted that AI was a tool that should be used to improve quality and save time and effort, which still required human input. For now, few visitors to the WAIC expo seemed worried about the potential ramifications of the back-flipping dog robots they were excitedly watching. 'When it comes to China's AI development, we have a comparatively good foundation of data and also a wealth of application scenarios,' said Transwarp's Yang. 'There are many more opportunities for experimentation.'

China's Baidu to deploy driverless cars on Uber
Baidu plans to start testing self-driving taxis in Europe by the end of this year. (EPA Images pic) BEIJING : Chinese internet giant Baidu plans to launch its driverless cars on ride-hailing app Uber in Asia and the Middle East this year, the two companies said on Tuesday. The multi-year partnership will see 'thousands of Baidu's Apollo Go autonomous vehicles on the Uber platform across multiple global markets', the companies said in a joint statement. The first driverless cars are expected on the roads this year, the statement said, adding the robotaxis would launch 'outside the United States' but without specifying in which countries. Uber users in these locations may have the option of choosing to ride in a fully driverless Apollo Go car after they request a trip. China's tech companies and automakers have poured billions of dollars into self-driving technology in recent years, with intelligent driving the new battleground in the country's cutthroat domestic car market. Driverless taxis are already on the roads with limited capacity in China, most notably in the central city of Wuhan where a fleet of over 500 can be hailed by app in designated areas. In March, Baidu announced it had signed an agreement to launch autonomous driving tests and services in Dubai, Apollo Go's first international fleet deployment. The company also plans to start testing self-driving taxis in Europe by the end of this year, a source with knowledge of the matter confirmed to AFP in May. The company will also start testing in Turkey, they said. Meanwhile, San Francisco-based Uber will launch self-driving taxis in London next year when England trials new driverless services, the firm and the UK government said in June. Under the Uber pilot scheme, services will initially have a human in the driver's seat who can control the vehicle in an emergency, but the trials will eventually transition to being fully driverless.
