KPDN cracks down on illegal LPG decanting in subsidy misuse
PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) is stepping up enforcement against the illegal transfer of subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) through decanting, a major cause of subsidy leakage. Deputy Minister Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh stated that Ops Gasak is being expanded to curb exploitation by syndicates posing as legitimate businesses. She revealed that subsidised LPG from 14-kg cylinders, priced at RM26.60, is being illegally transferred to non-subsidised cylinders sold at RM70. 'The price difference shows the high profits driving this illegal activity,' she told Bernama. A recent case in Johor exposed decanting operations disguised as wholesale businesses, leading to arrests under the Supply Control Act 1961. Ops Gasak is active nationwide except in Sarawak, where LPG enforcement is state-regulated. Dr Fuziah emphasised that subsidised LPG must only benefit eligible households and micro-entrepreneurs. 'Wholesalers supplying gas to industries will face strict action,' she added. The operation, running until October 31, is part of the Kita Gempur initiative to combat subsidy manipulation. - Bernama

Gobind: AI guidelines being drafted to combat online fraud
Gobind Singh Deo. – Bernama file photo PUTRAJAYA (Aug 5): The Digital Ministry, through the Personal Data Protection Department, is developing artificial intelligence (AI) based guidelines that are expected to be completed in early 2026, its minister Gobind Singh Deo said. These include guidelines on Data Protection Impact Assessment; Data Protection by Design guidelines; and guidelines on Automated Decision Making (ADM) and Profiling, he added. 'These are initiatives by the Digital Ministry to combat online scams as such fraud is now driven by AI like deepfake videos and voice cloning,' he said, as he reiterated his ministry's commitment to step up efforts to develop a safe, responsible and resilient AI ecosystem in line with making Malaysia a regional pioneer in digital economy and cyber security. The National Digital Department is also developing Guidelines for AI Adaptation in the Public Sector to support government departments and agencies to implement safe, ethical and responsible use of AI, in line with legal governance and compliance to human rights. 'The government is also conducting training and capacity building programmes to enforcement agencies and the civil service in cyber security and AI fields through 'AI Untuk Rakyat' and MD Workforce training programmes under the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC),' he added. CyberSecurity Malaysia is also developing an AI-based app in partnership with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) to confirm the veracity of photos and videos aimed to assist cyber crime investigations such as online scams, identity theft and the spread of digital slander. – Bernama

Malaysia's low oil palm replanting rate linked to rising FFB prices
KUALA LUMPUR: Rising fresh fruit bunch (FFB) prices have become a key deterrent to oil palm replanting efforts in Malaysia, with the 2024 rate falling to just 2.0 per cent against the industry's 4-5 per cent annual target. Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani attributed this trend to short-term profit motives, as higher crude palm oil (CPO) and FFB prices incentivise growers to delay replacing aging trees. 'The price of FFB is one of the key factors considered by plantation companies and oil palm estate owners when deciding whether to carry out replanting activities or not,' Johari told the Dewan Rakyat. He noted that while current FFB prices averaged RM875 per tonne in 2024 – up from RM778 in 2023 – yields from older trees remain suboptimal, creating long-term productivity risks. Industry data reveals CPO prices rose to RM4,179.50 per tonne this year, reinforcing reliance on existing plantations. However, Johari warned that retaining unproductive trees beyond their 25-year lifespan slashes yields from 28 tonnes to just 4-5 tonnes per hectare. 'This capital constraint causes delays in replanting oil palms,' he said, highlighting how deferred replanting erodes future income stability. Additional barriers include Malaysia's aging smallholder demographic and younger generations' declining interest in palm cultivation. The minister emphasised that replanting must be viewed as a strategic investment, despite the temporary income gap during new trees' non-yielding phase. 'Long-term yield potential will be more secure if replanting is carried out in a planned manner,' he stressed. - Bernama
