Ex-MD claims trial to misusing position over appointment of husband and funds transfer
KUALA LUMPUR: A former managing director of an oil and gas company claimed trial at the Sessions Court, here, today to a charge of misusing her position to appoint her husband to the firm. Farah Sabryna Nasarudin, 46, also pleaded not guilty to ordering the transfer of RM786,209.30 from the company to her bank account, for her benefit, and that of her Australian husband. She claimed trial after the charge was read out to her before judge Hamidah Mohamed Deril. According to the charge sheet, she had allegedly used her position as the managing director of Asiapac Oil & Gas Sdn Bhd to appoint her husband, Daniel Frederick Wall, as the company's technical adviser and had instructed the transfer of the funds. She had allegedly not obtained the agreement or ratification of the company's general meeting. The alleged offences occurred at the company based at Q Sentral in Jalan Sentral between Jan 27, 2021 and July 28, 2023. The charge under Section 218(1)(d) of the Companies Act, punishable under Section 218 (2) carries a jail term of up to five years or a maximum RM3 million fine or both upon conviction. Deputy public prosecutor Nur Shakila Shariff urged the court to set bail at RM30,000 and to order the accuse to surrender her passport to the court until disposal of the case. Defence lawyer A. Narainasami asked for a lower bail as the accused is supporting five school going children and an aged mother. Hamidah allowed bail of RM20,000 with one surety and set Sept 3 for mention.

Australia wipes $10 billion off student loans, targeting cost of living relief
FILE PHOTO: Students walk past stalls during the orientation week at The University of Sydney, in Camperdown, Australia February 15, 2023. REUTERS/ Stella Qiu/File Photo SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australia's parliament on Thursday passed a law to cut student loans by 20%, wiping more than A$16 billion ($10.31 billion) in debt for 3 million people, and fulfilling a key election promise to help mitigate the rising cost of living. The law is the first passed by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's centre-left Labor Party since being re-elected in May with one of the country's largest-ever majorities. 'We promised cutting student debt would be the first thing we did back in parliament – and that's exactly what we've done,' Albanese said in a statement. 'Getting an education shouldn't mean a lifetime of debt.' Education Minister Jason Clare said the measure would help 'take a weight' off the backs of young people. 'Young Australians don't always see something for them on the ballot paper, but they did this year and they voted for it in their millions,' he said at a press conference. 'And we're repaying now the trust that these young Australians have placed in us.' Millennials and Generation Z made up 43% of the 18 million people enrolled to vote in Australia's May general election, outnumbering Baby Boomers. Seizing on the generational shift, Labor made cutting student debt a key election promise, framing it as a measure to ease living costs and tackle intergenerational inequality. The government said reducing student loans by one-fifth was equivalent to more than A$16 billion in debt relief for three million Australians. It would mean a university graduate with an average loan of A$27,600 would have A$5,520 wiped, the government said, adding the changes would be backdated from June 1, 2025, before the loans were indexed 3.2% for inflation. The law would also raise the minimum repayment threshold from an income of A$54,435 to A$67,000, reducing the amount low-income earners would have to pay.

Trump's watered-down copper tariffs almost crush Comex premium
BEIJING/LONDON: Benchmark copper prices on the London Metals Exchange rose at the open on Thursday as markets continued to claw back the once-mighty US copper price premium in response to the scaled-down US copper tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. Trump said on Wednesday the United States would impose a 50 per cent tariff on copper pipes and wiring, but the levy fell short of the sweeping restrictions expected and left out copper input materials such as ores, concentrates and cathodes. The surprise move dragged down US copper prices more than 18 per cent on the Comex exchange and unwound a large part of the premium over the London global benchmark that had grown in recent weeks, with shipments diverted there in anticipation of higher domestic prices. "We think the LME flips to a premium in the short term due to excess inventories in the US," Anant Jatia, founder and chief investment officer at Greenland Investment Management, a hedge fund specialising in commodity arbitrage trading, told Reuters. "Over time Comex moves back to a premium as inventories draw and downstream tariffs leave a sustained US premium." Benchmark LME copper gained 0.9 per cent to US$9,785 a tonne after markets opened on Thursday. US September Comex copper futures briefly hit US$4.5095 a pound (lb) or US$9,941.6 per tonne, down 19 per cent, shortly after the LME opened before moving back up to hover around 4.5635 a lb or 10,061 a tonne. At the low, the premium over the London benchmark had fallen to just US$157 a tonne from recent levels above US$3,000 a tonne. That premium has sucked in enormous volumes of copper from around the world this year. As recently as a few weeks ago, traders were still redirecting cargoes to the United States in a rush to get copper into the country before the tariffs. "What's a fair price for US copper? At US$4.5/lb, it's already returned to this market's pre-tariff levels. That seems fair to me," said Panmure Liberum analyst Tom Price. Trump first teased the tariff in early July, implying that it would apply to all types of the red metal, ranging from cathodes produced by mines and smelters to wiring and other finished products. Yet in a proclamation released by the White House, the administration said the tariff will apply starting this Friday only to pipes, tubes and other semi-finished copper products, as well as products that copper is heavily used to manufacture, including cable and electrical components.
