Cambodia remains safe destination for investors says Malaysian trade body
The Phnom Penh-based chamber's president, Tan Khee Meng, said MBCC will continue to share relevant information with the business community on the prevailing situation.
"We will continue to provide reliable information to international business partners, assuring them that operations in Cambodia remain secure and that the country is safe for travel and business activities as usual,' Tan said in a statement.
The peaceful northern region of Cambodia has been rocked by armed conflict since July 24, with 13 people, including soldiers and civilians, having perished.
The Ministry of National Defence disclosed that over 80,000 people have been displaced, and about 500 schools in several northern provinces have been temporarily closed.
"MBCC calls upon all parties involved to seek peaceful resolutions and support international efforts to restore harmony and safety to the region,' said Tan.
In Phnom Penh, business is as usual, as the border conflict is going on in remote areas, hundreds of kilometres away from the capital. - Bernama

RM13 million agriculture, livestock projects launched to boost food security
Arthur (centre) with the MoU signatories. KOTA KINABALU (Aug 1): The signing of three Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) between various parties here today marks the launch of agriculture and livestock projects worth RM13 million, aimed at enhancing sector growth and strengthening the country's food security. The first MoU, between the Farmers' Organization Authority (LPP) and Desa Keningau Livestock Industries Sdn Bhd (DKLI), involves a project to boost local grain corn production through a corporate approach and transfer of technology (ToT). Under the five-year partnership, LPP will provide land development and machinery support using a matching grant of RM3 million, while DKLI will oversee planting, planning and implementation. The second MoU, between the Keningau Area Farmers' Organisation (PPK) and Absolute Moringa Sdn Bhd, focuses on a RM10 million agricultural input marketing initiative. This collaboration aims to enhance PPK's services in Sabah by supplying higher-quality agricultural inputs to increase yields and improve business operations. Meanwhile, the third MoU was signed between LPP and Sawit Kinabalu Farm Products Sdn Bhd (SKFP) for a ToT-based integrated cattle breeding project. SKFP will serve as a reference model and provide technical expertise, while LPP coordinates implementation at the Farmers' Organization level. Deputy Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Arthur Joseph Kurup, who witnessed the exchange, said the initiatives would reduce Malaysia's dependence on imported products such as grain corn. He said the projects are expected to expand accessibility for breeders and lower food prices, especially for livestock. 'This collaboration between the government and private sector is crucial to ensure the economic benefits reach local communities,' he said. Arthur also praised the initiative for supporting Malaysia's target of achieving 50 percent self-sufficiency in the ruminant industry by 2030, up from the current 16 percent.

Inari, Sanan jointly acquire Lumileds International for RM1.03bil
KUALA LUMPUR: Inari Amertron Bhd and Sanan Optoelectronics Co Ltd have jointly acquired 100 per cent equity interest in Lumileds Holding BV (Lumileds International) and its 11 Asian and European subsidiary companies for an enterprise value of US$239 million or equivalent to RM1.03 billion. Inari said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia that the company together with Sanan today entered into a share purchase agreement (SPA) with Dutch-based Lumileds Subholding BV for the proposed acquisition. Lumileds International was incorporated on Oct 30, 2014 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and is a globally recognised leader in the LED industry, specialising in the production and sales of mid-to-high-end LED products. "The proposed joint acquisition will strengthen Inari group's existing captive business strategy while enabling the company to expand and enhance its current product portfolio. "This strategic move will allow Inari group to diversify its product offerings and customer base, thereby creating additional revenue and earnings streams," it said. Inari had also entered into collaboration agreement (CA) and shareholders' agreement (SHA) with Sanan for the purpose of regulating the respective rights and obligations in Lumileds International and the relationship with one another upon completion of the proposed joint acquisition. It said a special purpose vehicle will be incorporated in Hong Kong (HK SPV) and co-owned by Sanan (74.5 per cent) and Inari (25.5 per cent), either directly or indirectly through their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, and the HK SPV will undertake the proposed joint acquisition. In addition to the capital contribution towards the payment of the enterprise value, Inari and Sanan have agreed to inject a further estimated US$41 million (RM176.3 million) into HK SPV and/or Lumileds International for working capital purposes. This brings the total investment outlay for the proposed joint acquisition and estimated working capital to US$280 million (RM1.2 billion).
