Prasarana names new chairman, acting CEO in leadership reshuffle
Mohd Nasir, who previously led Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Bhd (PUNB) and has chaired CIMB Group Holdings Bhd since 2018, replaces Tan Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim, whose term ended on April 30.
Amir, currently group chief operating officer (operations), will succeed Mohd Azharuddin Mat Sah, who leaves the company on July 14. His appointment reflects Prasarana's focus on leadership continuity and operational stability, it said in a statement.
Since joining Prasarana in 2019 as deputy chief financial officer, Amir has held several key roles, including CEO of Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd. He is credited with driving operational improvements and service reliability across the group's rail network.
Amir holds a Bachelor's degree in commerce from Lincoln University, New Zealand, and a Master's in Islamic financial practice from INCEIF University. He is also a certified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
Prasarana said the combined experience of Mohd Nasir and Amir will support the government's target of achieving 40 per cent public transport usage by 2030.
Prasarana operates urban rail, bus and on-demand public transport services in the Klang Valley, Penang and Kuantan.
The company logged a record 1.5 million daily passengers on Dec 31, 2024, a reduction in rail service disruptions from 255 in 2022 to 71 in 2024, and the rollout of the Rapid on-demand van service.

Sabah attracts growing interest from Kazakhstan in tourism and business
ASEAN Chamber of Commerce and Industry Sabah chapter president Datuk Nordin Ening (second right) sat with Almaty City Entrepreneurs Chamber deputy director ALibek Urazov (third left) over tourism and business talk, recently. KOTA KINABALU: Kazakhstan is showing increasing interest in Sabah as both a tourist destination and an investment hub. Asean Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) Sabah chapter president Datuk Nordin Ening shared this following his recent three-day mission to Kazakhstan, during which he met with Kazakh government officials, Tourism Malaysia representatives in Kazakhstan, and Malaysia's Trade Commissioner. "There are encouraging signs that Sabah could play a bigger role in attracting Kazakh tourists and investors. With Southeast Asia gaining popularity among Kazakh travellers amid instability in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, Sabah, particularly Kota Kinabalu and Semporna, has emerged as a potential destination of choice. "Currently, most Kazakh tourists visit only Langkawi, but Kazakh authorities have expressed a strong desire to channel more visitors to Sabah," said Nordin. He added that the visit was facilitated by an invitation from the Almaty City Entrepreneurs Chamber (Atameken). Nordin noted that existing direct flights between Almaty and Kuala Lumpur, operating four times a week, have already helped spur interest. Discussions are underway for AirAsia to introduce a fifth weekly flight. To fully capitalise on this opportunity, he said Sabah must intensify its tourism promotional efforts in the Kazakh market. In return, Kazakh officials have extended offers for unique travel experiences in their country, including snow jet skiing and other winter attractions, as part of a potential tourism exchange initiative. Beyond tourism, Kazakhstan is seeking business collaborations with Malaysian companies, especially from Sabah, in key sectors such as oil and gas, green technology, manufacturing, and mineral processing. During the visit, Kazakh officials shared details of several large-scale projects open to foreign investment, including a conveyor belt manufacturing facility, a mineral waste processing initiative, and an oil field in the Atyrau region. There is also growing interest in partnerships in Islamic banking, financial technology (fintech), and education. Kazakhstan is keen to establish student exchange programmes and English language-focused collaborations with Malaysian universities, particularly Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), as part of its national shift away from Russian language dependency. Meanwhile, Malaysia has already become a preferred destination for medical treatment among Kazakh citizens. This presents opportunities for Sabah's private healthcare sector to develop customised medical tourism packages for this emerging market. Nordin said ACCI Sabah will continue to serve as a platform connecting Sabah's industries with investment and trade prospects in Kazakhstan. "We will be organising follow-up efforts to facilitate the presence of Kazakh investors and tourists in Semporna and Kota Kinabalu, and vice versa," he said. He also called on all relevant agencies in Sabah, including MATRADE, MITI, MIDA, the Sabah Tourism Board, and the private sector, to take full advantage of these new collaborative opportunities.

Russia becomes first country to recognise Taliban govt
KABUL: Afghanistan's government said on Thursday that Russia had become the first country to officially recognise its rule, calling it a "brave decision." The Taliban swept back to power in 2021 after ousting the foreign-backed government and have imposed an austere version of Islamic law. They have keenly sought official international recognition and investment, as the country recovers from four decades of war, including the Soviet invasion from 1979 to 1989. The announcement was made after Afghanistan's Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi met with Russia's ambassador to Afghanistan, Dmitry Zhirnov, in Kabul on Thursday. "This brave decision will be an example for others... Now that the process of recognition has started, Russia was ahead of everyone," Muttaqi said in a video of the meeting on X. "Russia is the first country which has officially recognised the Islamic Emirate," Taliban foreign ministry spokesman Zia Ahmad Takal told AFP, using the government's name for their administration. Muttaqi said it was "a new phase of positive relations, mutual respect, and constructive engagement", the foreign ministry posted on X. Russia's foreign ministry added on Telegram: "We believe that the act of official recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will boost the development of productive bilateral cooperation between our countries in several areas." It highlighted potential "commercial and economic" cooperation in "energy, transportation, agriculture and infrastructure." The ministry said that Moscow hoped to continue helping Kabul "reinforce regional security and fight against the threats of terrorism and drug-trafficking." Moscow has taken recent steps to normalise relations with the Taliban authorities, removing them from a list of "terrorist organisations" in April and accepting a Taliban ambassador in Kabul. In July 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Taliban "allies in the fight against terrorism." Russia was the first country to open a business representative office in Kabul after the Taliban takeover, and has announced plans to use Afghanistan as a transit hub for gas heading to Southeast Asia. Only Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates recognised the Taliban during their first stint in power from 1996 to 2001. This time, multiple other states, including China and Pakistan, have accepted Taliban ambassadors in their capitals, but have not officially recognised the Islamic Emirate since the end of the then-insurgency's two-decade war with US-led Nato troops. There has been limited but growing engagement with the Taliban authorities, particularly from regional neighbours, but also major global players China and Russia. However, restrictions on women and girls, barring them from education and squeezing them from public life, have been key sticking points for Western nations. Multiple Afghan women activists were quick to condemn Russia's recognition. The move "legitimises a regime that bans girls from education, enforces public floggings, and shelters UN-sanctioned terrorists", said Mariam Solaimankhil, former member of Afghanistan's parliament. "The move signals that strategic interests will always outweigh human rights and international law." Senior Taliban figures remain under international sanctions, including by the United Nations. Another former MP in Kabul, Fawzia Koofi, said any recognition of the Taliban "will not bring peace it will legitimise impunity" and "risk endangering not just the people of Afghanistan, but global security."--AFP

Anwar meets Islamic leaders, media figures, and Malaysians in Rome
ROME: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim held a series of informal engagements during his official visit to Italy, meeting with prominent media figures, corporate representatives and Islamic community leaders. "Among them was Imam Yahya Pallavicini, imam of one of Europe's largest mosques, who represented both the congregation and the Muslim association," Anwar said. He also met Italian Islamic Cultural Centre secretary-general, Abdullah Ridoni, an organisation officially recognised by the Italian government. Anwar said that a local research centre had translated and published his book The Asian Renaissance into Italian. "They presented me with a copy, for which I expressed my appreciation," he said. The prime minister also met members of the Malaysian diaspora in Rome. "Though their numbers are not large, mainly students and workers, we were able to meet and discuss the potential that exists in both Italy and Malaysia," he said, adding that deeper bilateral ties could open up new opportunities for investment and trade. Anwar is currently on a working visit to three countries, Italy, France and Brazil, beginning 1 July, as part of efforts to strengthen bilateral relations and promote Malaysia's economic interests on the global stage.
