Johor, Singapore propose cross-border e-hailing service for commuters
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 — Johor and Singapore have proposed introducing cross-border e-hailing services as an alternative mode of transport for commuters. Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the proposal was among the matters discussed during his meeting with Singapore's Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow on Friday. 'This service not only offers more flexible, on-demand mobility options for users but also has the potential to ease congestion on major routes and create income opportunities for local drivers,' he said in a statement yesterday. 'It could also serve as a catalyst for a more user-friendly, safe and competitive transport system, while strengthening integration between both countries' public transport networks.' Onn Hafiz said discussions also touched on the progress of the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project, which is scheduled to begin operations in January 2027. 'This includes the physical development of the project, coordination of operating schedules, determination of fare structures, and integration of public transport systems between Johor and Singapore. 'There were also proposals to align operating hours and increase the number of cross-border buses, with services starting earlier than the current 5am schedule, to ease congestion and ensure smoother traffic flow at the Johor Causeway and immigration complexes,' he said.

The future of accounting lies in sustainability — Zarina Zakaria
AUGUST 3 — As the global economy pivots toward sustainability, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are no longer a footnote in business strategy — they are front and centre. Across financial institutions, conglomerates, and regulators, ESG now drives decision-making and reporting. At the heart of this transformation is the accounting profession. Accountants are expected to go beyond financial reporting to tackle sustainability disclosures, carbon audits, and governance reviews. As this shift intensifies, the demand for ESG-literate graduates grows. The question is: are Malaysian universities doing enough to prepare them? While ESG themes are increasingly mentioned in classrooms, their actual presence in accounting curricula remains limited. Often, sustainability is offered as a single elective or addressed briefly within broader subjects. Most accounting students graduate with strong knowledge of the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS), but little to no exposure to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) guidelines, or climate risk reporting frameworks. This gap is stark considering regulatory developments. Bursa Malaysia now mandates detailed sustainability disclosures from listed companies. Employers are demanding ESG-aware accountants — yet fresh graduates often find themselves scrambling to learn these skills on the job. Recent findings reinforce this concern. According to the ACCA Global Talent Trends 2025 report, 71 per cent of Malaysian respondents expressed interest in sustainability-focused careers — one of the highest rates globally. However, 63 per cent also reported concerns about not having the right skills for the evolving workplace, especially in areas like ESG reporting, digital tools, and analytics. This suggests a clear disconnect between students' ambitions and the training they receive. Recognising the evolving demands of the profession, Malaysia's Ministry of Higher Education has introduced Halatuju 4, a strategic blueprint for accounting education. Among its stated goals is the incorporation of sustainability, ethics, and digital competencies into accounting programmes — aligning academic outcomes with the future needs of the profession. This policy marks an important step in acknowledging ESG as a core competency area for accountants. However, as with any broad educational reform, implementation takes time and varies across institutions. Some universities have begun integrating ESG-related content more comprehensively, while others are still in the early stages of adoption. The writer argues that ESG is no longer optional for accountants — but Malaysian universities are lagging in preparing graduates for a sustainability-driven economy. — Unsplash pic The success of Halatuju 4 will ultimately depend on how effectively it translates from framework to classroom — ensuring that all graduates, regardless of university, are equipped for the ESG-driven future of accounting. One of the most pressing challenges is the lack of structured collaboration between universities and industry stakeholders. ESG-focused internships, live projects, and case studies are still rare in most public and private universities. This disconnect is especially concerning in ESG-intensive sectors such as palm oil, energy, and manufacturing — pillars of Malaysia's economy. These industries offer real-world sustainability challenges, yet students often graduate without having engaged with these contexts. Broader surveys support this gap. In a recent Economist Impact–EY study, 69 per cent of Malaysian employers and 90 per cent of employees agreed that acquiring new skills is essential for career progression. Yet 57 per cent of respondents reported that they do not clearly understand which specific skills are most in demand — a problem that has implications for both graduates and curriculum designers. Modern ESG reporting relies heavily on technology. Carbon accounting tools, climate risk dashboards, and ESG analytics platforms are integral to corporate reporting. Yet, most accounting programmes do not include training on ESG data tools or sustainability analytics. The Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) has recognised this issue. Its revised Competency Framework identifies ESG, climate change awareness, and sustainability literacy as essential future skillsets for accounting professionals — urging universities to embed these elements into their programmes. The private sector is already responding. In late 2024, KPMG and ACCA jointly launched a pioneering ESG learning programme aimed at upskilling accountants in ESG strategy, governance, and reporting. This move reflects wider trends among employers seeking finance professionals who are not only compliance-oriented but also ESG-literate and digitally equipped. In many classrooms, ESG is still framed as a compliance issue — a checklist of disclosures rather than a strategic business lever. This mindset limits graduates' ability to contribute meaningfully to ESG integration within corporate strategy, risk assessment, and long-term value creation. To meet future employer expectations, ESG must be taught not just as regulation, but as strategy — a lens through which financial performance, stakeholder engagement, and long-term resilience are assessed. Ethics has always underpinned accounting education. But ESG has added new complexities — from greenwashing to ethical sourcing to stakeholder manipulation. Unfortunately, these dilemmas are rarely tackled in current ethics modules, leaving future accountants underprepared for modern challenges in sustainability reporting. While professional bodies like MIA have begun issuing updated guidance, full integration into undergraduate teaching remains inconsistent. ESG is not a passing trend — it is now a defining factor in corporate performance and stakeholder trust. For Malaysia to remain competitive in a sustainability-driven global economy, its accounting graduates must be ready. Universities must embed ESG as a core pillar of accounting education — not as an elective afterthought. Interdisciplinary learning should bring together environmental science, social impact, and governance practices with financial expertise. At the same time, stronger industry-academic linkages are crucial. Internships, ESG case simulations, and partnerships with real companies can bridge the classroom and the boardroom. Digital upskilling is equally vital. Proficiency in ESG reporting software, data dashboards, and integrated reporting platforms must be a baseline — not a bonus. The foundations for reform are beginning to take shape. But unless they are implemented more quickly and consistently, Malaysian universities risk falling behind — and so will the graduates they produce. As ESG reshapes the future of business, the role of the accountant must evolve in tandem. The question is no longer whether universities should adapt, but whether they can do it fast enough. The future of the profession — and Malaysia's sustainability leadership — may depend on the answer. *Zarina Zakaria is an Associate Professor at the Department of Accounting, Faculty of Business and Economics, and may be reached at [email protected] **This is the personal opinion of the writer or publication and does not necessarily represent the views of Malay Mail.

Brick by brick, Legoland Malaysia builds buzz for Visit Johor Year 2026
ISKANDAR PUTERI, Aug 3 — Legoland Malaysia Resort has expressed its continued commitment to highlighting local cultural elements with distinctive Malaysian flair in support of the Visit Johor Year (TMJ) 2026 campaign. Its vice-president, CS Lim, said the theme park has always prioritised the promotion of local culture through its seasonal celebrations and thematic events. 'Although Legoland Malaysia is an international theme park, we always prioritise celebrating local culture and festivals, through Lego-themed decorations and construction, cultural performances and activities that highlight Malaysian heritage. 'Therefore, ahead of TMJ 2026, we will continue to enrich this cultural touch through seasonal campaigns, special events and strategic collaborations to ensure visitors enjoy a unique experience with Malaysian identity,' he told Bernama. The Johor government is targeting 12 million visitors from home and abroad in conjunction with TMJ 2026. Lim said package deals with itineraries that combine Legoland Malaysia and other locations, such as Mersing Island, Desaru, as well as eco-tourism and cultural heritage attractions, are also offered to allow visitors to explore interesting destinations in Johor. He said the park currently receives a significant number of visitors not only from within Malaysia but also from neighbouring countries such as Singapore and Indonesia, which contributes to strong economic spillover in the Iskandar Puteri area. 'Our presence supports the local economy, including hotel operations, shopping malls, transport services, and food and beverage outlets. This, in turn, generates job opportunities for the local community,' he said. Lim also shared that comprehensive preparations are already underway to accommodate the expected surge in visitors by 2026. These include upgrading key facilities, enhancing staff skills, hiring additional personnel, and planning for improved visitor capacity management, which may involve extending the park's operating hours, he said. Lim said Johor has the potential to emerge as a leading regional tourist destination, citing its strategic location and the development of key infrastructure projects such as the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link and expanded transportation networks. 'Johor is easily accessible to international and regional tourists, without relying solely on domestic flights. Visitors can travel via road, ferry, or flight from Kuala Lumpur and Changi Airport. 'Therefore, we see Johor as a strategic location and not a challenge due to its proximity to Singapore (with the Johor Causeway), which is one of the busiest travel hubs in the region,' he added. — Bernama
