MELAKA: A major development corridor spanning from Kota Laksamana to Klebang here has been earmarked as the future state capital, said Melaka Chief Minister. Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said that the upcoming city would act as a catalyst for growth in the tourism, industrial and commercial sectors of the state. "This initiative will play a vital role in supporting the state government's plans under the Straits of Malacca Special Economic Zone (SM-WEZ), envisioned as a 'Future Maritime City' and the new administrative capital," he said. Ab Rauf emphasised that the Melaka Government remains committed to taking proactive steps to support private sector involvement in developing high-technology industrial sectors. He made these remarks during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between property developer LBS Bina Group Bhd (LBS) and diversified conglomerate Oriental Holdings Bhd. The two parties will collaborate on a mixed-use industrial development project. The MoU was signed by LBS executive director Datuk Seri Daniel Lim and Oriental Holdings executive chairman Datuk Loh Kian Chong. LBS executive chairman Tan Sri Ir Dr Lim Hock San, who was present, said the MOU marks a key step in their southern expansion, reinforcing their commitment to regional growth and people-focused communities. 'In partnership with Oriental Holdings, we are excited to shape Klebang into a vibrant, sustainable township. By combining our expertise and shared vision, we aim to deliver lasting value, both in building sustainable developments and uplifting Melaka's economic and social landscape. 'We look forward to a strong, long-term partnership built on shared goals and mutual success.' Ab Rauf also noted that this partnership marks the first strategic collaboration between LBS and Oriental Holdings. He expressed confidence that the synergy between the two companies, drawing on their combined expertise, experience and resources will yield significant benefits for the state. "This partnership is expected to be a driving force behind more sustainable and competitive development in the state.' He added that the initiative forms part of efforts to strengthen the industrial and commercial landscape through strategic public-private collaboration, in line with the state's agenda for progressive, inclusive and sustainable development. The agreement, he said, involves a high-impact development in the strategic Klebang area, comprising residential, commercial and industrial components. One of the key projects includes an integrated development spanning over 227ha, which will feature a blend of industrial zones, a logistics hub, commercial lots, business spaces and clusters of modern residential units. Ab Rauf stated that the project would significantly contribute to the progress of the SM-WEZ. "It's expected to address last-mile connectivity challenges within the core zone of the SM-WEZ blueprint. "I believe that development along this coastal economic corridor will enhance investor confidence and unlock broader opportunities for capital inflows and long-term economic sustainability," he said. Ab Rauf also noted that the project's strategic location, positioned between three current and planned key ports, would provide a competitive advantage. "The presence of nearby shipbuilding and maintenance industries will further support the area's emergence as a new central business and commercial hub,' he said. In a statement, LBS said the project has an estimated gross development value (GDV) exceeding RM7bil. "Klebang was selected due to its strategic position within the SM-WEZ, offering high growth potential through coastal access, expanding infrastructure and alignment with Melaka's long-term economic transformation plan,' the company said. The development is primarily aimed at meeting the needs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those operating in oil and gas production, manufacturing, food and beverage supply chains, as well as logistics and warehousing. The statement also highlighted the project's location along a main access road, adding that the industrial units will possess commercial value, functioning as retail showroom warehouses.

LBS Bina, Oriental Holdings sign RM7bil MOU for industrial project in Melaka
KUALA LUMPUR: LBS Bina Group Bhd has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Oriental Holdings Bhd (OHB) to jointly develop an integrated mixed-use industrial project in Klebang, Melaka, with an estimated gross development value (GDV) exceeding RM7 billion. The landmark development will comprise primarily industrial and commercial components, strategically located within the Straits of Melaka Waterfront Economic Zone (SM-WEZ). Klebang was chosen for its advantageous coastal location, expanding infrastructure, and alignment with Melaka's long-term economic transformation goals. The MOU was signed by LBS executive director Datuk Sri Daniel Lim and OHB group executive chairman Datuk Loh Kian Chong in the presence of Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Utama Ab Rauf Yusoh. The Chief Minister's attendance highlights the state government's strong support and underscores the project's pivotal role in driving economic growth and urban development in Melaka. LBS Bina group executive chairman, Tan Sri Dr. Lim Hock San, hailed the agreement as a key milestone in the group's expansion into Malaysia's southern region. "In partnership with OHB, we are excited to shape Klebang into a vibrant, sustainable township. By combining our expertise and shared vision, we aim to deliver lasting value, both in building sustainable developments and uplifting Melaka's economic and social landscape. We look forward to a strong, long-term partnership built on shared goals and mutual success," Lim said. The primary focus of this mixed-use industrial development is to cater to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in sectors such as oil and gas production, manufacturing, food and beverage supply chains, and warehousing. Furthermore, given the development's frontage along a main access road, the industrial units offer commercial value, as they can also function as retail showroom warehouses. Additionally, Melaka ranks sixth among Malaysian states in terms of industrial property transactions. Notably, the demand for vacant plots and semi-detached industrial units has recorded double-digit growth, driven by both investors and owner-occupiers. Covering approximately 561 acres, the development will be implemented in four phases. LBS Bina stated that detailed land demarcations and development plans will be finalised in forthcoming Definitive Agreements, to be mutually agreed upon by both parties. Enhancing the project's connectivity and long-term potential is the upcoming West Coast Expressway (WCE), which will stretch from Banting, Selangor, to Gelang Patah, Johor. Once completed, the highway is expected to relieve traffic on the North-South Expressway and serve as a catalyst for growth in key coastal towns including Klang, Port Dickson, Melaka, Muar, and Batu Pahat.

Lim (right) and fellow Salvation Army members pose for a photo with the high-achieving students. BINTULU (May 5): The Salvation Army Bintulu on Saturday honoured a group of exceptional students for achieving outstanding results in their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations with gifts. This celebration came in the wake of a fire that struck Taman Bukit Orang, Jalan Sultan Iskandar here on April 13, where six single-storey terrace houses were destroyed in the wee hours of the morning—displacing 67 residents. Among the losses were school uniforms, shoes and school supplies. Salvation Army Bintulu Corps officer Capt Daniel Lim emphasised the importance of community solidarity and support during times of crisis. 'A field assessment conducted by the Salvation Army revealed the fire impacted 53 adults, 11 teenagers, 11 children and one infant. 'However, a wave of good news followed with the release of the 2024 SPM results. Several students who have received aid and moral support from the Salvation Army and other community groups have excelled academically—achieving remarkable results against the odds,' he said. He added community leaders and donors, left inspired by the students' resilience, contributed additional gifts and donations to recognise their hard work. 'A small gesture of encouragement can be a powerful motivator.' Lim also hoped these students would pay it forward one day and continue the cycle of compassion. As part of its ongoing charitable mission, the Salvation Army is appealing for donations to sustain its outreach initiatives. Generous contributions from the public remain vital in helping those affected by disasters and hardship and those wishing to donate can contact Lim on 011-14029741. education lead salvation army Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia

Temus Becomes Singapore's First OutSystems Premier Partner, Accelerating Low-Code Adoption Amid Surging Demand
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 10 March 2025 - Temus, a Singapore-based digital transformation consultancy, has become the first OutSystems Premier Partner in Singapore. This milestone underscores Temus' deep expertise in AI-powered low-code development and commitment to accelerating digital transformation for businesses, even more so as low-code platforms gain momentum in Singapore's digital ecosystem. This recognition cements more than a decade of collaboration between Temus and OutSystems. As OutSystems' longest-serving services partner in Southeast Asia, it also affirms the strong track record of Temus' low-code practice in delivering complex, enterprise-grade web and mobile applications with speed and efficiency across both public and private sectors. Low-code development platforms such as OutSystems have seen growth in popularity and impact in recent years. These platforms enable businesses to build robust digital applications with significantly reduced coding effort, speeding time-to-market and cutting operational costs. The demand for such solutions is soaring; IDC predicts [1] that by 2025, more than 60% of enterprises globally will adopt low-code technologies, with Asia-Pacific leading much of this growth. Meanwhile, research [2] shows that the global low-code development platform market size is worth around USD 10.46 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach around USD 82.37 billion by 2034. In Singapore alone, digitalisation has surged under the government's Smart Nation 2.0 initiative, catalysing fresh demand for cost-effective and rapid software deployment methods. "We are proud to be named as OutSystems Premier Partner. It is a significant milestone that recognises our deep expertise and shared vision for accelerating digital transformation through the use of low-code," said Daniel Lim, Managing Director, Cloud, Applications and Platform, Temus. "It also represents our strong commitment to combining the power of low-code with Temus' broader capabilities in cloud, data, and AI. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with OutSystems to drive innovation and deliver even greater value to our customers." Accelerating Digital Transformation at Scale Temus' track record in harnessing OutSystems' AI-powered low-code platform to deliver enterprise-grade solutions to customers in various business domains has been noteworthy: In the telecommunications sector, the firm has deployed customer-facing mobile applications for a leading Singapore telco, enabling users to purchase data roaming, manage subscriptions and tap into self-service functions. The team successfully rolled out a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) offering built on the OutSystems platform for consumers in Singapore within a short span of six months. In education, Temus has built digital solutions for academic institutions, introducing streamlined apps that consolidate attendance tracking, schedule management and campus services which has created new digital experiences across their staff and students. Temus has also helped public-sector agencies implement process automation and compliance management tools, improving operational efficiency. In one notable deployment, a permit and driver management system for a major airport operator reportedly cut manual documentation by half, freeing time for higher-value activities and minimising compliance errors. Growing the Local Tech Talent Pool Reflecting Singapore's broader push to develop its digital technology workforce, Temus is also constantly strengthening its OutSystems practice through talent development. Launched in 2022, the firm's flagship career conversion programme, Step IT Up Singapore (SIU), has already placed 59 graduates in full-time technology roles, of whom, 17 individuals became low-code application developers. This move reinforces a national effort in bridging tech skills gaps, with Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) scaling efforts [3] in pre-employment training and mid-career upskilling programmes to expand and level up Singapore's pool of tech talent. Building on the success of Temus' past three SIU cohorts, the firm plans to hire, train and place more OutSystems developers in 2025. These efforts reinforce not just the firm's commitment to deliver quality solutions to the customers, but also a dedication to contributing to the tech community in Singapore. Capitalising on AI and Emerging Technologies The momentum behind low-code is further bolstered by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, data analytics and cloud infrastructure—areas where Temus and OutSystems bring strong expertise. With OutSystems' AI-driven tools AI Agent Builder and Mentor, businesses can build robust, scalable solutions more efficiently with intelligent suggestions and AI-powered insights that enhances productivity and ensures code quality. "We congratulate Temus on becoming the first Premier Partner in Singapore. This achievement underscores our shared commitment to accelerating digital transformation and equipping businesses with the agility to thrive in an evolving landscape," said Mark Weaser, APAC Vice President, OutSystems. "Temus has built an impressive track record in delivering impactful solutions through the years with OutSystems. With AI and other emerging technologies progressing swiftly, we see even greater opportunities to deepen our collaboration." With the region's appetite for digital solutions poised to grow, Temus' Premier Partner status and robust expertise in OutSystems technology place it at the vanguard of Singapore's AI-powered low-code revolution.
