Mirah Investment & Development Achieves Key Milestone
Kuara Resort - Lombok, Indonesia
With just 16 thoughtfully designed villas, Kuara offers an intimate, slow-paced escape rooted in the natural beauty, cultural heritage, and warm hospitality of the Southern Lombok region. The launch marks a significant milestone in Mirah's ongoing long-term strategic expansion.
As the third full-scale resort delivered within an 18-month span, Kuara represents yet another successful chapter in Mirah's commitment to building a diverse, high-performing portfolio across Indonesia's most promising destinations.
Following the success of Secana Beachtown in Berawa and Cocana Resort on Gili Trawangan — which recently earned a Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Award placing it within the top 10% of hotels worldwide — the addition of Kuara further cements the company's position as a leader in luxury real estate and hospitality development.
'Kuara is a special project for us. It brings together our passion for meaningful hospitality and our ability to identify emerging destinations with exceptional potential,' said Scott Matson, Chief Operating Officer at Mirah Investment & Development. 'The soft launch marks more than the opening of a resort — it represents a key moment in our company's evolution and our growing footprint across Indonesia.'
Kuara's one- to three-bedroom villas offer modern amenities and refined comfort while preserving an authentic sense of place. Designed by award-winning designer Alexia Dubus, the villas draw inspiration from traditional craftsmanship and local materials, creating spaces that feel both elevated and grounded. Select villas feature direct beachfront access, private swimming pools, or open-air fire pits.
Mirah Investment & Development's expanding portfolio now includes luxury serviced residences, villa estates, hotels, resorts, restaurants, gym clubs, and beach clubs — each designed to meet the evolving expectations of modern travellers and investors alike. The soft launch of Kuara signals continued confidence in Indonesia's tourism growth and in Mirah's ability to deliver high-performing assets.
'It's an exciting time for our team and partners as we continue scaling across the region,' added Scott Matson. 'With upcoming projects in Uluwatu, Bingin [Amali Luxury Residence & SOMOSHOTELS] and our landmark partnership with FINNS Bali, one of Indonesia's most iconic lifestyle brands [FINNS Bali Resort], we're building not just resorts, but a future-facing ecosystem of world-class destinations.'
Kuara is the latest resort from Mirah Investment & Development, whose previous project—Cocana Resort in Gili Trawangan—earned a Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award and placed in the top 10% of hotels worldwide. With such recognition setting the standard, expectations are high for Kuara, which brings Mirah's signature blend of refined design, immersive experiences, and elevated hospitality to one of Lombok's most pristine coastal locations.
The launch of Kuara underscores Mirah's consistent commitment to innovation, excellence, and long-term value creation.

PM: Government gives priority to projects that benefit the rakyat
ROME, July 2 — The Madani Government is willing to take hard and sometimes unpopular decisions to ensure development and projects that benefit the rakyat can be implemented, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar, who is here on a three-day working visit, said despite criticism over government's move to implement certain policies such as subsidy rationalisation or tariff, they needed to be carried out for the benefit of the people. 'All governments, all prime ministers in the past talk about taking away subsidies from foreigners, but none took the right action,' he said at the Majlis Ramah Mesra Bersama Diaspora Malaysia here last night. The premier said various actions taken by the government, including subsidies and tax rationalisations were implemented to build more schools, universities and hospitals that will help the masses. During the dinner, Anwar also shared that various programmes and policies are being undertaken by his government to ensure the country remains competitive. 'To our diaspora in Italy, you are our ambassadors and our asset. You have a big role to play in bringing Malayia into the international platform. 'Therefore, I leave a message for you to continue to seize every opportunity and space to strengthen your knowledge, skills and networks in order to contribute back to the homeland, good governance,' he said. Also present at the dinner were Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, Malaysia's Ambassador to Italy Datuk Zahid Rastam, Transport Minister Anthony Loke, Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, and Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz. — Bernama

UN chief slams US-led aid retreat as poverty, hunger, debt spiral in Global South
SEVILLE, June 30 — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the world to 'rev up the engine of development' at an aid conference in Spain today at a time when US-led cuts are jeopardising the fight against poverty and climate change. Dozens of world leaders and more than 4,000 representatives from businesses, civil society and financial institutions are gathering in the city of Seville for the June 30-July 3 conference to seek fresh impetus for the crisis-hit aid sector. But the United States is snubbing the biggest such talks in a decade, underlining the erosion of international cooperation on combating hunger, disease and climate change. Guterres told delegates at the opening of the conference that two-thirds of United Nations sustainable development goals set for 2030 were 'lagging' and more than US$4 trillion (RM16.8 trillion) of annual investment would be needed to achieve them. US President Donald Trump's gutting of his country's development agency, USAID, is the standout example. But Germany, Britain and France are also making cuts while they boost spending in areas such as defence. International charity Oxfam says the cuts to development aid are the largest since 1960. More than 800 million people live on less than US$3.0 a day, according to the World Bank, with rising extreme poverty affecting sub-Saharan Africa in particular. Disruption to global trade from Trump's tariffs and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine have dealt further blows to the diplomatic cohesion necessary for concentrating efforts on helping countries escape poverty. The crisis meant children going unvaccinated, girls dropping out of school and families suffering hunger, said Guterres. He urged the international community to 'change course' and 'repair and rev up the engine of development to accelerate investment' in 'a world shaken by inequalities, climate chaos and raging conflicts'. A blistering heatwave that is scorching southern Europe welcomed the delegates to the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, an example of the extreme weather that scientists say human-driven climate change is fuelling. 'Colonial debt' Kenya's William Ruto, Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, Ecuador's Daniel Noboa, Angolan leader Joao Lourenco and Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan were among prominent Global South leaders in Seville. Among the key topics up for discussion is reforming international finance to help poorer countries shrug off a growing debt burden that inhibits their capacity to achieve progress in health and education. The total external debt of the group of least developed countries has more than tripled in 15 years, according to UN data. Critics have singled out US-based bulwarks of the post-World War II international financial system, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, for reform to improve their representation of the Global South. Painstaking talks in New York in June produced a common declaration to be adopted in Seville that only went ahead after the United States walked out. The document reaffirms commitment to the UN development goals such as eliminating poverty and hunger, promoting gender equality, reforming tax systems and international financial institutions. The text also calls on development banks to triple their lending capacity, urges lenders to ensure predictable finance for essential social spending and for more cooperation against tax evasion. Coalitions of countries will seek to spearhead initiatives in addition to the so-called 'Seville Commitment', which is not legally binding. But campaigners have criticised the text for lacking ambition and have rung alarm bells about rising global inequality. Hundreds of demonstrators braved the sizzling heat in Seville on Sunday to demand change in international tax, debt and aid policies. 'Global South countries will never be able to decide how they want to do development if they are bound to the new colonial debt,' protester Ilan Henzler, 28, told AFP. — AFP

World Bank: 421 million living in extreme poverty globally as conflicts more than tripled since 2000
WASHINGTON, June 28 — Conflicts and related fatalities have more than tripled since the early 2000s, fuelling extreme poverty, the World Bank said yesterday. Economies in fragile and conflict-affected regions have become 'the epicentre of global poverty and food insecurity, a situation increasingly shaped by the frequency and intensity of conflict,' the bank added in a new study. This year, 421 million people get by on less than US$3 (RM12.70) a day in places hit by conflict or instability — a situation of extreme poverty — and the number is poised to hit 435 million by 2030. Global attention has been focused on conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East for the past three years, said World Bank Group chief economist Indermit Gill. But 'half of the countries facing conflict or instability today have been in such conditions for 15 years or more,' he added. Currently, 39 economies are classified as facing such conditions, and 21 of them are in active conflict, the Washington-based development lender said. The list includes Ukraine, Somalia, South Sudan and the West Bank and Gaza. It also includes Iraq although not Iran. The report flagged that moves to prevent conflict can bring high returns, with timely interventions being 'far more cost-effective than responding after violence erupts.' It also said that some of these economies have advantages that could be used to reignite growth, noting that places like Zimbabwe, Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo are rich in minerals key to clean tech like electric vehicles and solar panels. 'Economic stagnation — rather than growth — has been the norm in economies hit by conflict and instability over the past decade and a half,' said Ayhan Kose, World Bank Group deputy chief economist. The bank's report noted that high-intensity conflicts, which kill more than 150 per million people, are typically followed by a cumulative fall of around 20 percent in GDP per capita after five years. — AFP
