Dubai's MBS Global eyes Johor for tech, finance investment expansion
KUALA LUMPUR: Dubai-based MBS Global Holdings, which manages over US$14 billion in assets worldwide, has expressed strong interest in positioning Johor as its next strategic investment hub in Southeast Asia. Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the state government held a high-level meeting with MBS Global on May 29, in Kuala Lumpur, where the firm outlined its investment appetite in key sectors such as digital technology, Islamic digital banking, green innovation and real estate. "MBS Global's interest is a strong signal of Johor's rising profile among global institutional investors. We view this as a potential catalyst for high-impact investments that can generate quality jobs and spur inclusive economic growth," he said. The firm is no stranger to ambitious ventures. Its recent US$8.8 billion investment to develop a blockchain-based financial hub in the Maldives is projected to create over 16,000 jobs by 2030. Onn Hafiz said Johor's appeal has been further strengthened by the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) initiatives, which offer cross-border advantages and regional market access to international players. "The Johor government is committed to turning investment into real benefits for the people, not just in figures, but in the form of job creation, technology transfer and sustainable economic development," he said. MBS Global Holdings' potential entry aligns with Johor's strategy to attract future-driven industries and long-term capital. It is also in line with the state's economic blueprint.

Zahid to strengthen bilateral ties during UK visit
LONDON: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi ( pic ) is undertaking a four-day working visit to Britain from June 1 to 4, in a move aimed at further strengthening Malaysia-UK bilateral ties. Ahmad Zahid, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, will be accompanied by senior government officials from the Foreign Ministry, Rural and Regional Development Ministry, and Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Ministry. The visit comes on the heels of recent high-level engagements between Malaysia and the UK, including Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's official visit in January and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof's visit in April, signalling Malaysia's commitment to enhancing multilateral and bilateral cooperation. High Commissioner of Malaysia to the United Kingdom Datuk Zakri Jaafar said Malaysia, as the Asean Chair for 2025, would use this opportunity to share the progress achieved under the theme 'Inclusivity and Sustainability' and to discuss future regional strategies and programmes. Among the key highlights of the visit is a bilateral meeting scheduled for today with UK Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Steve Reed, Zakri told reporters at the Malaysian High Commission. 'The discussion will focus not only on enhancing Malaysia-UK cooperation but also delve into disaster risk management, aligning with Ahmad Zahid's role as Chair of the Central Disaster Management Committee.' On the same day, the Deputy Prime Minister is also slated to deliver a keynote address at the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Forum titled 'Malaysia's TVET Leadership in Asean Building Skills for a Shared Future' at University College London, Zakri said. 'The forum will gather representatives from Asean missions in the UK, students, university officials, academics and researchers. 'Later that evening, Ahmad Zahid will host a special gathering with approximately 120 Malaysian students based in the UK, reinforcing the government's engagement with the Malaysian diaspora,' he said. Zakri added that tomorrow, Ahmad Zahid would chair two roundtable meetings – one with UK-based franchise industry players and another with tourism sector agencies. 'He is also scheduled to officiate the UK launch of Visit Malaysia Year 2026, aimed at promoting Malaysia as a premier travel destination for the UK and broader European markets,' Zakri said. To support this promotional drive, the Deputy Prime Minister would participate in exclusive media interviews with prominent travel publications TTG Media and Wanderlust, he added. 'The visit will conclude with Ahmad Zahid's departure to Geneva on June 4 to continue his overseas engagements,' Zakri added.

ISF is potential tool for advancing economic justice in Malaysia — Ahmad Ibrahim
JUNE 2 — Economic justice is a contentious issue in the world. Many view tariffs which discriminate between countries as stoking economic injustice. They give rise to unfair trade. There are many examples of this. The latest is the unilateral move by the US to unilaterally reconstitute their import tariffs which saw different rates for different countries on the rather illogical basis of trade deficits. The irony of it all is that US importers end up paying for the tariff hikes. Economists confirm this fact. The establishment of the WTO years ago aimed to create more fairness in trade. Initially agreements were amicably reached to zerorise tariffs. When eventually the negotiations proceeded into agriculture, the progress stalled. Most countries subsidise agriculture, especially EU and Japan. Rooted in the principles of equity, risk-sharing, and social welfare, Islamic Social Finance (ISF) mechanisms like zakat, waqf, sadaqah, and Islamic microfinance align closely with the goals of reducing inequality. They empower marginalized communities, and foster inclusive growth. Malaysia, with its robust Islamic finance ecosystem and majority-Muslim population, is uniquely positioned to harness ISF as a catalyst for systemic economic reform. However, structural inefficiencies, fragmented governance, and a lack of innovation have limited its transformative potential. New strategies are needed to realise full potential. Malaysia has already made strides in institutionalizing ISF. Managed by state religious authorities, zakat collection reached RM4.5 billion (US$1 billion) in 2022, primarily redistributed to the poor. In Waqf, Malaysia has over 11,000 hectares of waqf land, though much remains underdeveloped. On Sukuk, socially responsible sukuk, like the World's First Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) Sukuk (2015), fund green projects and affordable housing. Despite these efforts, challenges persist. Fragmented governance is one. Zakat and waqf are managed separately by state-level entities, leading to inefficiencies and uneven impact. Only 15 per cent of waqf land is productively developed, often due to bureaucratic hurdles or lack of expertise. Many ISF tools remain siloed in traditional models, with minimal integration of fintech or cross-sector partnerships. Awareness gaps are real. Rural and non-Muslim communities often lack understanding of ISF's benefits, perpetuating exclusion. How to transform ISF into a true "engine" for economic justice? The popular view is that Malaysia must adopt a holistic strategy. One is to centralize and modernize governance. Establish a National Islamic Social Finance Authority to harmonize zakat/waqf management across states, setting transparent accountability standards, and streamlining redistribution. Next is to digitize collection and distribution through platforms and blockchain instruments to enhance transparency, reduce leakage, and expand donor participation. Many call to innovate the waqf models. Ideas include to develop cash waqf and corporate waqf to diversify funding. Partner with private developers to transform idle waqf land into affordable housing, agro-industrial hubs, or renewable solar energy projects. Replicate success stories like Waqaf An-Nur Hospital, a crowdfunded healthcare facility serving low-income communities. Integrate ISF with national development agendas including SDGs. Increase the use of zakat to fund scholarships, vocational training, and grants for asnaf youth. Issue social impact sukuk to finance climate-resilient infrastructure in flood-prone states like Kelantan. Leverage ISF to address urban-rural divides by funding microfinance for rural entrepreneurs, particularly women. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) should be promoted. Encourage banks like Maybank Islamic and CIMB Islamic to design ISF-linked products such as zakat-based insurance for low-income families. Partner with NGOs to target hard-to-reach communities and address also non-Muslim poverty by channeling sadaqah to multicultural education programs. Promote financial literacy and inclusivity. Launch nationwide campaigns to educate Malaysians, muslims and non-muslims, on ISF's role in economic justice. Develop mobile apps gamifying sadaqah contributions or linking zakat payments to tangible outcomes. For example, adopt a Student via zakat for education. Position Malaysia as a global ISF hub by sharing best practices with OIC countries. Host an annual Global Islamic Social Finance Summit to attract investments and foster innovations like AI-driven zakat allocation systems. By framing ISF as part of Malaysia's broader commitment to social welfare, for example using waqf to build schools serving all ethnicities, ISF can transcend religious boundaries. That is a powerful dakwah instrument to promote unity. Conventional welfare programs often face funding shortfalls and bureaucratic delays. ISF's faith-based nature can mobilize additional resources and foster community ownership. There is no denying that ISF is not merely a religious obligation but a pragmatic, ethical, and scalable solution to Malaysia's entrenched inequalities. By modernizing governance, innovating financial instruments, and prioritizing inclusivity, Malaysia under the MADANI administration can effectively unlock ISF's potential to become a global model for economic justice. The path forward requires political will, cross-sector collaboration, and a reimagining of finance as a force for collective dignity, not just profit. Malaysia can ignite this potential. * Professor Datuk Dr Ahmad Ibrahim is affiliated with the Tan Sri Omar Centre for STI Policy Studies at UCSI University and is an associate fellow at the Ungku Aziz Centre for Development Studies, Universiti Malaya.
