‘Move from worry to strategy': HR minister says AI puts 600,000 jobs ‘at risk' but creates new ones
GEORGE TOWN, July 28 — The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) will reshape Malaysia's job market and could unlock thousands of new employment opportunities, Human Resources Minister Steven Sim said today He said that over 60 emerging job roles have already been identified, with 70 per cent of them in the AI and technology sector, poised to create hundreds of thousands of new jobs. 'So we have to move on from what I call 'worry to strategy,' because the way forward is to ensure that our workers are equipped with the right skills to adapt to the changes in current and future economic trends,' Sim said in his speech at the official launch of the 52nd ARTDO International Conference here this morning. Sim referred to a study his ministry commissioned six months ago on the impact of AI and digitalisation in Malaysia, which revealed that 600,000 existing jobs are "at risk." However, he clarified that this does not necessarily mean these jobs will be lost. 'Of course, some of these may become obsolete, so workers in these roles will be required to upskill and reskill,' he said, explaining that "at risk" means the jobs could be significantly impacted or affected by AI. The study collected data from industry players across ten strategic economic sectors that contribute to about 60 to 70 per cent of the nation's GDP. Upskilling and AI literacy key Later, when asked to elaborate, Sim pointed to new roles like "prompt engineers" as examples of emerging opportunities. 'We need to learn how to work with AI. We still need someone to input data into the AI, and someone still needs to check the structures of feedback produced by AI,' he said. He stressed the importance of two key areas for the workforce: High-level AI skills that cover the ability to manage or even create AI Broad AI literacy: Basic understanding and ability to use AI tools, which he said is essential for everyone, including homemakers, as the technology permeates all sectors. 'So we also want to provide basic AI literacy courses to the public in general,' he added, noting that the ministry's MyMahir portal was developed to match new skill requirements with appropriate training courses. Sim also said that AI is not just about technical skills, but involves ethical and legal considerations. He added that clear guidelines are needed to ensure the progress of AI does not negatively impact society. 'AI is not just about technology; it also touches on moral and legal issues.'

Antengene Announces Poster Presentation of ATG-022 (Claudin 18.2 ADC) at ESMO 2025
SHANGHAI and HONG KONG, July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Antengene Corporation Limited ('Antengene', SEHK: a leading innovative, commercial-stage global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercialising first-in-class and/or best-in-class medicines for cancer, today announced that an abstract featuring the latest data from a Phase I/II study of the Claudin 18.2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), ATG-022, has been accepted for poster presentation at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology Annual Congress (ESMO 2025), taking place from October 17th to October 21st at the Messe Berlin in Berlin, Germany. Details of the Poster Presentation: ATG-022 (Claudin 18.2 antibody-drug conjugate)Title: Phase I/II study of Claudin 18.2 ADC ATG-022 in patients with advanced gastric/ gastroesophageal junction cancer (CLINCH)Abstract Number: 2907Presentation Number: 2113PDate: October 19, 2025 About ATG-022 ATG-022 is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) designed to target CLDN18.2, a member of the Claudin family of cell adhesion molecules. Under normal conditions, Claudins are located within tight junctions between cells, forming a barrier to regulate cell permeability. However, in cancer, Claudins are aberrantly expressed on the cell surface due to changes in cell polarity. CLDN18.2 is frequently overexpressed in a range of primary malignant tumors, including gastric, esophageal, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic cancers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has awarded Orphan Drug Designations to ATG-022, for gastric and pancreatic cancers. Data from the ongoing CLINCH study demonstrated that ATG-022 delivers robust efficacy across all levels of CLDN18.2 expression in gastric cancer patients, including those with high, low, and ultra-low expression. This broad activity positions ATG-022 as a potential market leader, capable of addressing the largest patient population with CLDN18.2-positive tumors. Furthermore, the strong efficacy observed in patients with low CLDN18.2 expression suggests promise for treating other tumor types with similar expression profiles. About Antengene Antengene Corporation Limited ('Antengene', SEHK: is a leading commercial-stage R&D-driven global biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative first-in-class/best-in-class therapeutics for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors, in realizing its vision of 'Treating Patients Beyond Borders'. Antengene has built a pipeline of 9 oncology assets at various stages going from clinical to commercial, including 6 with global rights, and 3 with rights for the APAC region.

SMU issues its inaugural Sustainability Bond, raising S$150 million to advance environmental and social initiatives
SINGAPORE, July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ –– Singapore Management University (SMU) today announced that it has completed the issuance of a S$150 million Sustainability Bond. The proceeds of the Bond are earmarked for financing and refinancing green and social projects that deliver clear environmental and social benefits, as guided by SMU's newly established Sustainable Financing Framework. The Sustainability Bond, the first such bond by an Autonomous University (AU) in Singapore, was issued on 28 July 2025 at a coupon rate of 2.022% and will mature on 28 July 2032. The Sole Lead Manager and Bookrunner for the bond issuance was Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC). SMU President, Professor Lily Kong, said, 'This inaugural Sustainability Bond is more than just a financial instrument — it reflects our belief that universities must play a leading role in building a more sustainable and inclusive future. We've been guided by our Sustainability Blueprint since 2022 and are proud to contribute to the priorities set out in the Singapore Green Plan 2030. As a university, we take seriously our role in shaping future-ready graduates who are not only intellectually agile, but also attuned to the pressing challenges of our time. By embedding sustainability in our operations and investments, we hope to lead with purpose and conviction.' 'Launching this bond in our 25th anniversary year feels especially meaningful — it signals our intent to grow with purpose, and to leave a positive, lasting impact on the communities we serve,' she added. SMU Sustainable Finance Framework In June 2025, SMU established a holistic and comprehensive Sustainable Financing Framework which aligns SMU's financial practice with its sustainability goals (outlined in the SMU Sustainability Blueprint) and embodies SMU's deep commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. The Framework outlines the criteria and guidelines for SMU to allocate and manage the proceeds raised from sustainable finance transactions. Developed in collaboration with its sole sustainability advisor, OCBC, the Framework provides the foundation for SMU to engage in sustainable finance transactions such as green, social and sustainability bonds and loans. It guides SMU's issuance of sustainable finance debt instruments to finance or refinance projects and assets that deliver measurable environmental and/ or social benefits. These include green buildings, energy efficiency upgrades, green infocommunications technology infrastructure, sustainable water and waste management, as well as programmes that promote inclusive education, knowledge sharing, and mental health and wellbeing. Mr Lim Boon Wee, SMU's Senior Vice President, Administration, said, 'This bond issuance is a strategic milestone for SMU as we align our financial strategy with our sustainability goals, and channel capital to where it matters most. It enables us to finance infrastructure and initiatives that enhance environmental performance and social impact, while ensuring transparency and accountability to our stakeholders.' The Framework received a Second Party Opinion from ratings agency, Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), affirming its alignment with internationally recognised standards and its significant contribution to sustainable outcomes. Moody's further assessed the Framework as having a significant contribution to sustainability, giving it an overall Sustainability Quality Score of SQS2 – Very Good. SMU also maintains a Aaa rating by Moody's, the highest possible rating in assessing creditworthiness, reflecting the University's robust institutional framework and healthy operating performance. First Sustainability Bond issuance by a Singapore university SMU's Sustainability Bond is the first such bond issued by an AU in Singapore, and is differentiated in the scope of impact. Apart from green initiatives with environmental benefits, SMU is committing a portion of the proceeds raised to fund social programmes that promote inclusive education benefitting its students from low-income families. This differs from Green Bonds (focusing solely on projects with environmental benefits) and Sustainability-Linked Bonds (which are tied to predefined sustainability performance targets only) previously issued by other universities in Singapore. Ms Elaine Lam, Head of Global Corporate Banking, OCBC, said, 'With our strong track record in guiding clients through their green transition with strategic advisory and targeted financing solutions, we are excited to strengthen our long-standing partnership with SMU by supporting its first Sustainability Bond issuance covering both environmental projects as well as social programmes that promote inclusive education. A first by an autonomous university in Singapore, this bond issuance speaks to SMU's leadership in integrating sustainability into its core mission, potentially inspiring its students to become future leaders who advocate for both environmental stewardship and social equity.' Highlights of SMU's sustainability-related achievements Ranked 18th globally in the Environmental Sustainability lens, Environmental Impact category for the QS World University Rankings: Sustainability 2025 Winner, Sustainability Institution of the Year, 2024 International Green Gown Awards Won the fifth consecutive Silver Ribbon Mental Health Award in as many years since the awards were inaugurated by Silver Ribbon (Singapore) in 2020 Entire campus awarded the Green Mark Platinum certification, with the first Green Mark Platinum Zero Energy building in the city centre First university in Singapore to introduce sustainability literacy and community service as graduation requirements – End –
