Malaysian tycoon Robert Kuok's daughter takes over Shangri-La Asia CEO role, earns over RM310,000 a month
SINGAPORE, July 16 — Kuok Hui Kwong, daughter of Malaysian billionaire Tan Sri Robert Kuok, has been appointed chief executive of Shangri-La Asia, the Hong Kong and Singapore dual-listed luxury hotel group announced in a stock exchange filing today. Her appointment takes effect on August 1. The 47-year-old has served as the company's chairman since 2017 and has been an executive director since 2016. Shangri-La Asia said her new role as both chairman and CEO is expected to improve 'strategic cohesion and operational execution by ensuring a unified and consistent vision across all levels of leadership'. She succeeds former CEO Lim Beng Chee, who retired at the end of 2022. Lim remains on the board as a non-executive director. According to The Straits Times, Kuok Hui Kwong is the sixth of Robert Kuok's eight children and ranked 40th on Fortune's 2024 list of the most powerful women in Asia. Under her current contract, she receives a monthly base salary of HK$576,000 (RM311,630), along with discretionary bonuses and pension benefits. She also holds a direct and indirect interest in 95.57 million shares, or about 2.7 per cent, of the company. Kuok Hui Kwong graduated with a bachelor's degree in East Asian studies from Harvard University and previously served as managing director and CEO of SCMP Group, which publishes the South China Morning Post. The Kuok Group sold the media arm to Chinese tech giant Alibaba in 2016. Founded by Robert Kuok in 1971 with the opening of the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore, Shangri-La Asia today owns 81 of the more than 100 hotels it operates under its four brands: Shangri-La, Kerry, Hotel Jen and Traders. As of its 2024 annual report, its hotel assets had a net asset value of US$10.83 billion. For the financial year ended December 2024, the group reported revenue of US$2.19 billion, a 2 per cent increase year on year, but net profit fell 12.3 per cent to US$161.4 million, weighed down by rising operating and financing costs. Following news of Kwok Hui Kwong's appointment, Shangri-La Asia's shares on the Singapore Exchange rose 2.4 per cent to HK$4.67 as of 3.11pm today, though they remain down nearly 14 per cent for the year.

M'sia poised to be Asean halal hub for NZ products, says Zahid
WELLINGTON: Malaysia is poised to be a halal hub in Asean for products from New Zealand, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The Deputy Prime Minister said this comes after two organisations in New Zealand, which has obtained recognition from the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim), to use Malaysia as a springboard to widen its export market. "I have given them the opportunity to use Malaysia as a hub for the distribution of halal products from New Zealand to Asean nations," he said in a press conference after attending the Malaysia-New Zealand Halal Forum here on Wednesday (July 16). He said that he had also proposed to halal industry players from New Zealand to attend the Malaysia International Halal Showcase 2025 which will be held this coming September in Kuala Lumpur. "An announcement will be made during the event on joint efforts to set up the Asean Halal Council comprising representation from Asean and Asean Plus Plus nations. "We invited the bodies which have obtained Jakim recognition to be part of the council," he added. He said the goal of the council is to standardise halal certification among Asean nations and those in the surrounding region. "The will be brought up as an agenda during the Asean Summit this coming October," he added. Asean Plus Plus refers to a broader regional cooperative framework that includes Asean's ten member states plus China, Japan and South Korea. Meanwhile, Dr Ahmad Zahid also said that there were talks among several countries under Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to reactivate the dormant World Halal Council to included both Muslim and non-Muslim nations involved in halal products. He said this was crucial as the global halal market is expected to grow from the current US$1.3 trillion (RM5.5 trillion) annually to US$3.7 trillion (RM14.3 trillion) in 2030. "The market is expected to grow to US$5 trillion (RM21.2 trillion) by 2050. Malaysia intends to tap 5% of this market," he added. Earlier, during the forum, New Zealand's Biosecurity and Food Safety Minister Andrew Hoggard said that Malaysia is a significant market for premium halal meat products, with exports of more than NZ$60mil (RM151mil) "Malaysia is facilitating the approval of several New Zealand halal meat premises seeking first-time access to this market, which is crucial to growing exports," he said. Earlier, Ahmad Zahid and Hoggard witnessed the exchange of letters of intent between Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), Malaysia and University of Canterbury (UC). The partnership aims to strengthen academic and research collaboration including student and staff mobility. Key areas of collaboration include chemical engineering, halal food systems and sustainable food production. Meanwhile, at a separate event, Ahmad Zahid and his New Zealand counterpart David Seymour witnessed the signing of the document of collaboration between Universiti Poly-Tech Malaysia (UPTM) and Victoria University of Wellington (VUW). The document was inked by New Zealand's Universities Minister Shane Raymond Reti at a ceremony at VUN. The collaboration paves the way for planning for joint research implementation, lecturer and student mobility programs, curriculum exchange and application-oriented learning, and professional development in education. Ahmad Zahid is on a five-day working visit to New Zealand which started on July 14.

Loke: Puspakom no longer only option for vehicle ownership checks, four new companies appointed
PUTRAJAYA, July 16 — The Ministry of Transport (MOT) has appointed four companies to implement Motor Vehicle Inspection Centre (PPKM) services with a specific function for the Change of Ownership Inspection (MV15) for private vehicles. Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said the appointment of the four companies to implement the MV15 inspection is one of MOT's efforts to increase the supply of vehicle ownership inspection services in the market. He said the initiative would also make it easier for the public to obtain vehicle ownership inspection services without having to crowd at the existing PPKM which also conducts periodic inspections of heavy vehicles. 'Previously, any vehicle owner who wants to sell car, or buy a used car, must send the vehicle for verification before the transfer of ownership is allowed. 'Now they only have one option, which is to go to the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom), so by opening a new market, it will further facilitate the process of transferring vehicle ownership because the public can go to any company premises that offers this service,' he said in a press conference here today. According to Loke, the appointment of the four companies was made in accordance with the decision of the Cabinet Meeting on March 17, 2023 which had agreed to open motor vehicle inspection services required under the Road Transport Act 1987 [Act 333] to other qualified companies. The four companies appointed are Carro Technology Sdn Bhd; Carsome Academy Sdn Bhd; Wawasan Bintang Sdn Bhd; and Beriman Gold Sdn Bhd. Loke said all the companies were given 12 months to make preparations based on the conditions set out in the Guidelines for Granting PPKM Licences MV15. 'During this period, JPJ will carry out continuous monitoring and the Operating Licence will only be granted after the company concerned meets all regulatory requirements and equipment requirements and is ready to commence operations,' he said. Among the main conditions are the company's strong capabilities with a minimum paid-up capital of RM1 million, Sdn Bhd status and local ownership; and submit a location proposal for consideration subject to approval by MOT or Road Transport Department (JPJ). In addition, the company also needs to provide infrastructure that includes the development of premises, the acquisition of inspection equipment, integration with the MySikap system and the requirements to obtain approval from relevant authorities; and ensure that Motor Vehicle Inspectors receive competency accreditation by JPJ before they can commence work. 'Since some of the companies offered also carry out other activities such as buying and selling used vehicles, the company is required to provide an inspection room or lane as well as special staff for the purpose of operating PPKM MV15 is subject to the ISO/IEC 17020:2012 Conformity Assessment Requirements for the Operation of Various Types of Bodies Performing Inspection standard,' he said. Loke said the opening of more PPKMs is aimed at increasing healthy competition and ensuring better quality vehicle inspections for the safety of road users. 'The expansion of PPKMs is also in line with the current Vehicle Inspection Service policy, where the government has shifted from a single-player concession system to a multi-player licensing system,' he said. Loke meanwhile said that in the future, the ministry will see if there is a need to make it mandatory for motorcycles to be inspected before ownership changes are allowed. 'Right now, we do not make it mandatory for motorcycles to be inspected before ownership changes, but after we have these better facilities, we will also see if there is a need for motorcycles to also need to be verified before the ownership change is implemented,' he said. — Bernama
