#NST180years: Marking a milestone - A legacy of 180 years, built by many

I WOULD like to extend my deepest gratitude and warmest congratulations to all employees, past and present, on the occasion of the New Straits Times' 180th anniversary. One hundred and eighty years is indeed a remarkable milestone by any measure — one that only a few organisations worldwide can truly claim. The NST's story is inextricably woven into Malaysia's rich and colourful tapestry. Today, both the nation and this newspaper move forward with resilience and confidence, meeting daunting challenges in an increasingly complex world. Despite being 180 years old, the NST remains a cornerstone and bedrock of the country's media landscape. We have embraced the social media age, dedicating more focus and resources to our digital platforms to deliver the diverse content Malaysians, especially the younger generation, seek. The NST's achievements over the years are the result of the dedication, sacrifice and teamwork of countless professionals who poured their energy and passion into its pages. Today, let us honour all those who came before us, each playing their part in shaping the NST into the respected institution and trusted name it is today. To those currently carrying the mantle, your hard work, perseverance and dedication have ensured that the NST — both digital and print — remains the source of reference for Malaysians from all walks of life, including leaders, businesspeople and students. The NST continues to be their trusted destination for news, knowledge and a place to hone their language skills. On this historic and momentous occasion of the NST's 180th anniversary, let us all renew our commitment to do our best to ensure the flame of excellence continues to burn brighter than ever. Thank you.

MITI Urged To Step Up Anti-Corruption Engagement With Business Community

PUTRAJAYA, July 15 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) has been urged to intensify engagement with the business community and investors to gather feedback on corruption-related issues that could impact Malaysia's business and investment prospects. This reform strategy was among key priorities identified during the meeting of the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) Special Task Force chaired by Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abdul Bakar here today. In a statement issued after the meeting, the Task Force said the engagement sessions should also involve the Special Task Force to Facilitate Business (PEMUDAH). Other priority reform strategies identified by the CPI Focus Group include fostering a culture of integrity and adopting technology to combat corruption, with local authorities (PBT) being positioned as role models for other municipal councils. 'The CPI Special Task Force, under the leadership of the Chief Secretary, remains fully committed to strengthening governance and anti-corruption efforts through a whole-of-government approach. 'The Task Force expressed hope that the strategic initiatives it is implementing will positively influence Malaysia's performance in future CPI rankings and bolster public and investor confidence in the nation's governance system,' the statement read. It also noted that Malaysia's performance in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025 showed significant improvement, climbing 11 spots from 34th in 2024 to 23rd this year. 'The Bribery and Corruption indicator, which improved by 12 positions, also contributed to the overall rise in Malaysia's competitiveness ranking,' the statement added. The meeting today was attended by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki and members of the CPI Special Task Force.
