Malaysia ready to send monitoring team to Thailand-Cambodia border if requested, says PM
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 — Malaysia is prepared to coordinate the deployment of a monitoring team along the Thailand-Cambodia border if both countries request it, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told the Dewan Rakyat today. He said the situation along the border remains 'under control, although still tense and sensitive', following recent incidents of violence between Thai and Cambodian forces. 'Whether or not troops are needed on the ground to monitor the ceasefire, it will be decided later,' Anwar said. 'It's not easy when killings and shootings have occurred; it takes time to de-escalate and cool down tensions.' He added that satellite monitoring is currently being carried out and both parties have agreed for Malaysia's Defence Attaché, together with Asean counterparts, to coordinate remote surveillance efforts. Anwar was responding to a question from Rodiyah Sapiee (GPS–Batang Sadong), who asked whether Malaysia would play a role in monitoring the border to ensure peace is maintained.

Govt Urged To Set Up Credit Scoring Agency To Regulate Eligibility Of Borrowers
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 (Bernama) -- The government should establish a creditworthiness or credit scoring agency to regulate the eligibility of consumers taking loans, according to Member of Parliament (MP) Sim Tze Tzin (PH-Bayan Baru). He said that with transparent creditworthiness, it can help reduce consumers' financial pressure as well as reduce borrowing money from unlicensed money lenders or syndicates. 'Although in Malaysia we have credit reporting companies such as CTOS, the average citizen does not understand credit scores and does not know his/her own credit scores. "Hence, a transparent creditworthiness or credit score can determine good borrower discipline and be offered other financial facilities such as credit cards, personal loans and others," he said when debating the Consumer Credit Bill (RUUKP) 2025 during its second reading at the Dewan Rakyat here today. Meanwhile, MP Rodiyah Sapiee (PH-Batang Sadong) proposed that the government establish a special 'Buy Now, Pay Later' (BNPL) data centre to ensure the effectiveness of the micro-instrument is maintained. 'All information related to BNPL is collected in a special data centre which is not combined or reported in conventional credit systems such as the Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS). 'This is because CCRIS is directly linked to large loan eligibility such as housing and vehicle loans, and if BNPL is included in this system, it could affect the opportunities of low-income consumers to obtain future financing,' he said. He also said that this special data centre could be established under the Consumer Credit Commission to enable specific monitoring of BNPL's credit risk including consumer exposure limits and payment behaviour without disrupting key financial records. -- BERNAMA
