System downtime affects import, export services in Brunei
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: The Brunei Darussalam National Single Window (BDNSW) has been experiencing system downtime since Monday, June 9, impacting digital processes related to the import and export of goods.
According to a joint announcement from the BDNSW portal and the Ministry of Finance and Economy (MoFE) released on June 5, the downtime is due to ongoing system maintenance and security upgrades.
These enhancements are part of efforts to strengthen cybersecurity and ensure compliance with standards set by the E-Government National Centre (EGNC).
The Royal Customs and Excise Department (RCED), in collaboration with EGNC, is working to complete the maintenance as swiftly as possible. In the interim, a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) has been activated to maintain operations through manual procedures at all relevant checkpoints.
Traders and stakeholders are advised to download the necessary manual forms via the BDNSW portal at https://bdnsw.mofe.gov.bn/Pages/Borang-Manual.aspx and submit completed forms along with supporting documents, agency-issued permits (if required), and payments (if applicable) to checkpoint officers.
Authorities expressed their appreciation for the public's understanding and patience during the temporary disruption and assured that regular updates will be provided via the BDNSW portal and MoFE social media platforms. – Borneo Bulletin/ANN

Malaysia to have single aviation regulator starting Aug 1, says Transport Minister
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia will have a single aviation regulator beginning Aug 1, following the merger of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) and the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom), Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced today. He said the move, part of the government's broader reform agenda, will see CAAM take over Mavcom's economic regulatory functions, becoming the sole authority overseeing all technical, safety and economic aspects of the nation's aviation industry. "With this integration, CAAM will operate as a statutory body with separated remuneration and autonomy (BBDSB), providing it with greater flexibility in financial governance, human resource management, and strategic decision-making," the minister said at a media briefing here. Loke added that the streamlined structure would lay a strong foundation for CAAM to drive sustainable growth and support Malaysia's ambition to become a regional aviation hub. He also said A si the legal processes backing this initiative were conducted transparently and in accordance with parliamentary procedure. Two key bills — the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Dissolution) Bill 2024 and the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (Amendment) Bill 2024 were passed by the Dewan Rakyat on June 26, 2024, and approved by the Dewan Negara on July 30, 2024. Both acts received the consent of the King of Malaysia, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim on Sept 11, 2024, and were gazetted on Sept 25, 2024. The acts will come into force concurrently with the effective date of the merger. Loke said all 57 current Mavcom employees will be offered placements in CAAM based on their skills and experience. He added that it also assured that the entire transition will be carried out in a transparent and well-coordinated manner, guided by best governance practices and supported by a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP). "With this initiative, Malaysia is well-positioned to revitalise its aviation sector in a more sustainable and competitive way." "CAAM is expected to play a pivotal role in realising the country's aspirations of becoming a dynamic regional aviation hub, in line with Malaysia's inclusive and innovation-driven development goals," Loke said.

Buchanan Capital Partners Expands Portfolio with Hutto Warehouse Acquisition
AUSTIN, Texas, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Buchanan Capital Partners ('BCP'), an Austin-based, zero-sponsor fee commercial real estate investment firm, announces its latest acquisition: the off-market purchase of a new 2025-constructed, 196,523-square-foot industrial warehouse located conveniently off of SH-130 at 2100 Limmer Loop in Hutto, Texas. This strategic addition enhances BCP's presence in key growth markets driven by robust industrial demand. The property, situated in the rapidly developing Hutto submarket of Northeast Austin, benefits from its proximity to Samsung's new $17 billion chip factory, just eight minutes away in Taylor. The highly successful Innovation Business Park, totaling 1.5M SF, has been leased by Omar Nasser and AQUILA Commercial, who will continue to lease and manage this asset for BCP. See updated marketing flyer: Innovation 8 Flyer BCP is offering preferred terms for the first lease signed. BCP's business plan involves actively marketing to tenants as small as 33k and up to 196k square feet. Interested brokers and tenants are encouraged to contact Omar Nasser at nasser@ BCP's value-driven approach is evident in this acquisition, secured well below the average market price of comparable recent transactions. The immediate focus includes targeted capital improvements to make the space move-in-ready and maximize market rent potential. BCP has retained ARCO/Murray as its general contractor for additional improvements, with several projects already underway. 'While interest rates were low, large blocks of speculative properties were built with bay depths too deep to service a full range of tenant sizes. With 210′ building depth, this asset is capable of leasing not only to a larger tenant, but also to 30k+ SF tenants. We believe this is where the majority of Austin's leasing demand exists – local vendors, suppliers, and manufacturers,' said Keith Buchanan, Founder of BCP. BCP is optimistic about the property's leasing potential, supported by a strong list of tenant prospects already engaged by AQUILA. Ford Albert, Director at BCP, added, 'This acquisition underscores BCP's ability to identify opportunistic opportunities in high-demand areas. Macro tariff and industrial supply concerns have created buying opportunities that would not otherwise exist.' This acquisition reinforces BCP's reputation as a leader in strategic, growth-oriented real estate investments that prioritize value creation and investor trust.
