KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- The adoption of the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) Strategic Plan marks a monumental step towards realising the ASEAN Community Vision (ACV) 2045, said Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing. However, he stressed that vision alone is not enough, emphasising that execution and unity are key to achieving success. 'A vision and strategy are not enough. Execution is the key to success. We must work more closely together in unity, for only through unity can we unlock our limitless potential. We must also actively promote one another's heritage and culture; this is the true spirit of ASEAN. 'For all that to happen, our ASEAN identity shall continue to be the catalyst to strengthen our partnerships. Let us continue to work together to build a truly resilient, inclusive, sustainable, innovative, dynamic and people-centred ASEAN community,' he said in his speech at the ASCC Strategic Plan Regional Forum here today. The forum, co-hosted by Malaysia with the support of the government of Japan through the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF) 3.0, was also attended by ASEAN secretary-general Dr Kao Kim Hourn and Ambassador of Japan to ASEAN Kiya Masahiko. The ceremonial launch of the ASCC Strategic Plan was held at the event. The one-day forum drew nearly 200 participants, comprising senior officials from ASEAN member states as well as representatives from federal and state ministries, government agencies, local authorities and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Tiong, who also chairs the ASCC Council said that the strategic plan comprehensively encompasses 12 strategic goals, 16 objectives, 20 key result areas, and 112 strategic measures. He said the plan reaffirmed the bloc's collective commitment to empowering women and youth, preserving ASEAN's rich cultural heritage, narrowing development gaps, strengthening public health systems, expanding social protection, and fostering sustainable, inclusive growth for all. Tiong said, Malaysia had long recognised the ASCC as central to building a people-centred, inclusive, and sustainable society across generations.

G2G Approach Proves More Effective, Cost-efficient In Defence Procurement
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- The government-to-government (G2G) approach in the procurement of military assets has proven to be more effective, transparent and cost-saving, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said the method allows for direct negotiations between the Malaysian government and the producing country without the involvement of third parties, thereby avoiding delays and cost wastage due to high commission payments to agents. 'When we negotiate directly with governments, costs are immediately reduced because we have eliminated the excessively high agent fees. That is why the (procurement) process is now completed; in the past, orders would always get stuck,' he said during Minister's Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat today. Anwar said this in reply to a question from Ahmad Fadhli Shaari (PN-Pasir Mas), who asked about the level of the country's defence preparedness in facing global and regional geopolitical uncertainties. The Prime Minister said the G2G approach is now the government's main policy in strategic procurements, including with Korea, Turkiye and Italy, which has seen several major military projects proceed smoothly and according to schedule. Responding to Ahmad Fadhli's supplementary question on the proposed purchase of Black Hawk helicopters or F/A-18 fighter jets, Anwar said any decision on the procurement of air defence assets would be made by the Royal Malaysian Air Force Technical Committee. 'They (the technical committee) will be fully responsible for determining its readiness; if it cannot be justified, we will not sign. That is clearly our policy,' he said. At the same time, Anwar said the government is also focusing on enhancing preparedness, particularly in Pulau Banggi, Sabah, following geopolitical developments involving the presence of Philippine and United States military forces in the southern Philippines, near Malaysia's border. 'I agree that the geopolitical situation is uncertain. Recently, there was an increase in the military readiness of the Philippines and the United States in the southern Philippines, close to Sabah.

Defence minister urges Asean unity to counter ‘grey-zone' tactics, safeguard regional seas
GEORGE TOWN, Aug 19 — Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin has today called on all Asean countries to join Malaysia in taking collective action to preserve maritime stability in this region. He said Asean countries must explore avenues to solidify Asean's solidarity to uphold the region's centrality and neutrality. 'We are all aware of the 'grey-zone' tactics that continue to test our resolve, such as foreign incursions, maritime coercion, and the quiet undermining of sovereignty,' he said in his speech at the 19th Asean Navy Chiefs' Meeting 2025 in Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort here. He said the challenges that the maritime domain faced are growing more complex each day. 'From traditional power rivalries and territorial disputes, to non-traditional threats like illegal fishing, cyber intrusions, and disinformation — no single navy, agency, or government can address these alone,' he said. Therefore, he said Asean countries must not be fragmented but be united, decisive and future-focused. He said the gathering of Asean naval leadership in Penang, a maritime hub with deep historical and strategic ties to the Straits of Malacca, is not just symbolic but strategic. Khaled said it is time to move beyond rhetoric and concretise practical Asean-led maritime cooperation. 'Over the years, platforms like the Asean Maritime Forum, the Asean Multilateral Naval Exercise (AMNEX), and the Asean Our Eyes have helped lay the groundwork,' he said. He said the Royal Malaysian Navy (TLDM) is playing its part, through operations such as the Malacca Strait Patrol (MSP) and the Trilateral Cooperative Arrangement (TCA). He invited all Asean nations to collectively explore how they can approach maritime security through a Whole-of-Government and Whole-of-Society (WOGOS) lens. He warned that if Asean does not act now, its maritime stability will be severely compromised. 'We must not let our sovereign maritime zones fall into the hands of foreign powers,' he said. 'We cannot afford silence. We cannot afford fragmentation. And we certainly cannot afford a destabilised Southeast Asia,' he added. He said Malaysia is proposing a few bold initiatives, such as the Asean Maritime Innovation Challenge (AMIC), to encourage young naval officers and academies to propose low-cost, high-impact solutions for maritime problems. The other initiatives are the Asean Naval Sport Cup, to foster friendship and teamwork through healthy competition in maritime sports, and a region-wide Asean naval project that advances technology adoption, enhances human capital, and builds naval capabilities through joint development programmes.
