Tengku Zafrul: Government steps up coordination with states to cushion US tariff impact
KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 — Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) across the country will continue working closely with state governments to ensure that local industries in each state are not adversely affected by the United States (US) tariff issue. Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said the government's establishment of the National Geoeconomic Command Centre (NGCC) would play a key role in monitoring, evaluating, and coordinating responses to shifts in the global trade landscape, including tariff shocks and non-tariff barriers. 'This effort aims to ensure that the country's strategic and economic industries remain resilient and competitive in an increasingly challenging and uncertain global environment,' he said in the Dewan Rakyat, responding to a question from Mohd Syahir Che Sulaiman (PN-Bachok). Mohd Syahir enquired about the government's steps to address the US tariff issue with the involvement of state governments to coordinate investment responses, restructure state incentives, and help local industries adapt to a more challenging trade environment. Meanwhile, Tengku Zafrul said that on May 5, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim convened a Special Parliament Session on US retaliatory tariffs, during which several incentives were announced to support the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector. Among these, the government has allocated RM20 million to the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation to help SMEs penetrate new markets. 'The easy financing fund has also been increased by RM500 million through development financial institutions (DFIs) for the benefit of affected SMEs,' said Tengku Zafrul. Additionally, the government has raised its guarantee facility under the Business Financing Guarantee Scheme (SJPP) by RM1 billion, specifically to assist SME exporters in obtaining loans. The Ministry of Finance has also spearheaded the Government-linked Enterprises Activation and Reform Programme (GEAR-uP) with funds totalling RM25 billion to drive high-growth and high-value sectors. Tengku Zafrul noted that since US President Donald Trump announced the imposition of retaliatory tariffs on Malaysia and other trading partners on April 1, 2025, the government has made a strategic decision not to respond with retaliatory measures, opting instead to negotiate with the US administration. The Prime Minister has assured that in pursuing a reciprocal trade agreement, the government will not compromise on matters related to national sovereignty. 'Although we are proactive, firm, and open in our negotiations with the US, we have several 'red lines' that were recently agreed upon by the new Cabinet,' he said. These include the Bumiputera policy on ownership of local industries and strategic sectors, priority for local and Bumiputera companies in government procurement, adherence to halal guidelines recognised by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim), and the protection of intellectual property rights. 'We will continue to engage with the US in a careful, transparent, and professional manner to ensure that every decision made benefits the people and supports balanced economic development,' added Tengku Zafrul. — Bernama

Gobind lauds how AI transforms KL into smart city with traffic control, ‘digital twin', and urban safety tools
KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 – Kuala Lumpur is rapidly transforming into an AI-powered metropolis, thanks to sweeping digitalisation efforts led by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), supported by the Ministry of Digital. Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo, during his visit to the Kuala Lumpur Command and Control Centre (KLCCC) today, praised the capital's strides in adopting artificial intelligence to enhance public services, improve safety, and raise overall quality of life. 'AI is helping modernise the city's infrastructure and services. It's not just about efficiency, it's about making KL a safer, more pleasant, and sustainable place to live,' Gobind said. The visit to KLCCC was part of the ministry's nationwide initiative to promote emerging technologies such as AI and 5G. Gobind was briefed on several AI-powered use cases already integrated into DBKL's operations, including traffic monitoring, city planning, and public safety. One of the key initiatives was DBKL's development of a comprehensive 'digital twin' of the city. This virtual replica enables real-time simulation and analysis of urban dynamics, supporting more effective planning, emergency response and resource management. Another key application is the city's AI-powered traffic management system, which leverages live camera feeds and intelligent analytics to monitor road conditions, detect accidents or illegal parking, and optimise traffic signal timing at congested intersections.

'AI and digital solutions should always serve people. Our goal is to build a city that is not only smarter, but also inclusive and responsive to everyone's needs,' she said. Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Seri Maimunah Mohd Sharif also emphasised that while digital tools are crucial, the human element must remain central. Maimunah noted that the city's AI applications are already showing results easing traffic congestion, strengthening emergency response, and creating a more liveable urban experience. 'What is important for us is to see how we can bring together the existing powers in each state and with the desire to build a national smart nation centre. As I mentioned earlier, we are looking at a strategy for a smart nation in 2030. 'This means that we can bring together all the existing data and also see what technology is needed in the future and ensure that we are ready, not only in each state as it is now, but also in the whole of Malaysia,' said Maimunah.

Minimum wage order at RM1,700 to be enforced nationwide from August 1, no more deferments, says ministry
PUTRAJAYA, July 22 — The 2024 Minimum Wage Order of RM1,700 will come into full effect from August 1, according to the Ministry of Human Resources (Kesuma). In today's statement, Kesuma announced that the order will apply to employers nationwide, regardless of the number of employees hired, following the end of the six-month deferment period on July 31. 'Effective August 1, 2025, without exception, all employers, including those who previously benefited from the deferment period, must comply with the RM1,700 monthly minimum wage order. 'This includes non-citizen employees and contract apprentices, but does not apply to domestic workers,' read the statement. The ministry reminded employers to review their company's wage structure to ensure no employee receives a basic salary below the stipulated minimum rate, and to progressively adjust operations by focusing on productivity enhancement and employee skills training. Kesuma also warned that failure to comply with the order is an offence under the National Wages Consultative Council Act 2011, which carries a fine of up to RM10,000 for each affected employee, with an additional penalty of RM1,000 for each day the offence continues after conviction. For repeat offences, the maximum penalty may reach RM20,000 or imprisonment for up to five years. The ministry also encouraged employers to adopt the voluntary progressive wage policy (PWP) that serves to complement the implementation of the minimum wage order. 'Through the PWP, employers have the opportunity to raise employees' incomes based on productivity, skills, and work contributions, while also benefiting from targeted cash incentives provided by the government. 'This not only helps companies retain highly skilled workers but also strengthens long-term competitiveness in an increasingly challenging labour market,' it added. Complaints regarding the implementation of the Minimum Wage Order can be submitted to the Department of Labour nationwide or via Kesuma's official website. Further information on the minimum wage order and the PWP can be obtained at and respectively. — Bernama
