Malaysia achieves 89.6% MSPO certification for oil palm plantations
MELAKA: A total of 5.03 million hectares, or 89.6 per cent of Malaysia's oil palm plantation area, has been certified under the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) scheme as of June 30 this year. Deputy Minister of Plantations and Commodities Datuk Chan Fong Hin highlighted this milestone, emphasising the industry's commitment to sustainable practices aligned with global standards. 'The MSPO certification initiative also enforces strict standards to ensure that oil palm plantation companies and smallholders are not involved in any form of forced labour,' Chan said during the opening of the 'Know Your Rights, Do It Right' Programme Series 1/2025. He stressed that certified entities must comply with the Employment Act 1955, which prohibits forced labour. The programme, attended by KPK Secretary-General Datuk Yusran Shah Mohd Yusof, aims to address labour issues in the plantation sector, particularly concerning foreign workers. Chan noted that over 75 per cent of the 280,000 workers in oil palm plantations are foreigners, primarily from Indonesia, Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. 'The government recognises that heavy reliance on foreign labour can lead to exploitation and forced labour risks, especially due to opaque recruitment processes,' he said. Such issues could trigger trade restrictions from countries like the U.S. if forced labour is detected in supply chains. To mitigate these risks, the ministry is actively organising awareness programmes to ensure labour challenges do not hinder sector growth. - Bernama

Life Sciences on the Chinese Mainland – Vital signs: Diagnosing trends in the life sciences real estate market on the Chinese mainland
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 1 August 2025 - Cushman & Wakefield, a leading global real estate services firm, today released its Life Sciences on the Chinese Mainland – Vital signs: Diagnosing trends in the life sciences real estate market on the Chinese mainland report. It is based on in-depth interview surveys we conducted on professionals active in the life sciences sector on the Chinese mainland. The life sciences industry on the Chinese mainland is undergoing a transformative phase, driven by progressive policies, groundbreaking innovations, the emergence of influential life sciences companies, and strategic regional development. This report delves into the latest trends shaping the sector. Policy Landscape – National and Local Catalysts Reforms enacted in 2024-2025 have significantly accelerated sector development. Nationally, China relaxed restrictions on foreign investment in gene and cell therapy and allowed the establishment of wholly foreign-owned hospitals in key cities. Regulatory incentives – such as data protection and marketing exclusivity – have improved market access for innovative drugs. Locally, cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Suzhou are rolling out targeted subsidies, fast-track approvals, and ecosystem-building programmes that directly benefit biotech development. Recent national policy initiatives on the Chinese mainland Industry Innovation and Company Growth Chinese life sciences companies are moving beyond generic drug manufacturing toward innovative therapies. Firms like Akeso, BeiGene, Gracell, and Legend Biotech are now global players, leading in CAR-T, bispecific antibodies, and AI-assisted R&D. These companies are not only commercialising cutting-edge treatments but also attracting international investment and licensing agreements, reinforcing the Chinese mainland's global relevance in life sciences. Real Estate Development and Regional Hubs Innovation hubs such as Suzhou BioBAY, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park (Shanghai), and the Bioisland Innovation Centre (Guangdong) are central to regional clustering. These hubs offer end-to-end support, including shared labs, venture capital access, GMP-compliant facilities, and proximity to academic and clinical networks. The rise of second-tier innovation cities like Chengdu and Ningbo further expands growth corridors. The 'R&D + Manufacturing + Service' ecosystem Source: Cushman & Wakefield Research Landlord Perspectives – Evolving Real Estate Models Real estate developers and landlords are adapting to sector-specific requirements through asset-light models, flexible leasing, and high-specification lab and production space. Tier-1 cities face saturation, but central and western regions exhibit healthy demand. Developers are incorporating advanced sustainability and compliance features to meet growing regulatory and ESG expectations, particularly in GMP and cleanroom environments. Digitalisation, environmental policies, and differentiated tenant strategies are shaping performance. Operators now focus on integrated ecosystems with platforms that link tenants to R&D services, policy benefits, and technology partners. Occupier Perspectives – Growth, Innovation, and Challenges Life sciences occupiers are navigating regulatory reform, rising compliance demands, and intensified market competition. Many are localising production and R&D, leveraging regional subsidies, and investing in AI-powered innovation platforms. Occupiers seek flexibility, proximity to talent and infrastructure, and co-located R&D and manufacturing to support accelerated innovation and operational agility. In real estate, demand is strongest for GMP-certified labs, modular production facilities, and shared innovation platforms. Occupiers emphasise location advantages, sustainability certifications (e.g., LEED, WELL), and integration into clusters that enable faster time-to-market. Tony Su, Managing Director, National Head of Industrial & Logistics Property Services, China, said, 'Life sciences business parks on the Chinese mainland demonstrated clear regional differentiation, highlighting opportunities for strategic positioning. While Tier-1 cities saw more moderate performance due to broader macroeconomic factors and abundant supply, core cities in central and western regions recorded healthy occupancy rates, underpinned by strong industrial clustering and increasingly sophisticated ecosystems – contributing to steady growth in asset value.' Johnathan Wei, President, Project & Occupier Services, China, said, 'Several interviewed life sciences companies on the Chinese mainland achieved revenue growth supported by innovative products and favourable policy tailwinds. While overall growth remained modest for many, a select group reported strong performance, highlighting opportunities for differentiation'. Andrew Chan, Managing Director, Head of Valuation & Advisory Services, Greater China, said,' Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, growth opportunities lie in AI-driven drug discovery, personalised medicine, advanced therapeutics (CGT, RNA), and green-certified facilities. Government policies continue to support innovation through fast-track approvals, rare disease funding, and subsidies aligned with dual-carbon and ESG goals'. Shaun Brodie, Head of Research Content, Greater China, 'Life sciences real estate is shifting from generic parks to specialised, digitally enabled campuses with high compliance and flexibility. Investment strategies increasingly emphasise long-term partnerships, collaborative operating models, and digital infrastructure. Both landlords and occupiers express cautious optimism, with strategic differentiation and regional targeting seen as keys to unlocking future value'. Please click here to download the full report.
