KUCHING (April 30): Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg is currently in London, United Kingdom, along with a Sarawak government delegation for a four-day official working visit.
They were previously in Cardiff, where the Edge AI power converter device developed in Sarawak, named 'KETEK AI' was unveiled.

On May 1, the Premier will lead the delegation to the London School of Economics and Political Science, where a roundtable discussion on sustainability and memorandum of understanding (MoU) exchange between the university and Sarawak government will take place.
That afternoon, he is scheduled to hold a meeting with officials from the International Hydropower Association and Global Renewable Alliances to strengthen cooperation in the field of hydropower, in line with Sarawak's role as a major hydropower provider in the Asean region.
On May 2, Abang Johari will deliver the keynote address at Sarawak Connects In London: Sarawak's Pathway To Sustainable Growth & Global Market Expansion.

Saifuddin: Entry permits for foreign spouses evaluated fairly
KUALA LUMPUR: Entry permit approvals for foreign spouses of Malaysians are based on fair and balanced considerations, regardless of gender, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. "Among the prerequisites for the MyPR application is that the applicant must first obtain an entry permit issued by the Malaysian Immigration Department," he said in a written parliamentary reply last night. He was responding to Syerleena Abdul Rashid (PH–Bukit Bendera), who questioned the government's processes for Permanent Resident (MyPR) applications, which she said placed an unfair burden on Malaysian women with foreign spouses. Saifuddin also said the issuance of entry permits to foreigners is in accordance with the provisions under Section 10(1) and (2) of the Immigration Act 1959/63, which grants the Director-General of Immigration the authority to issue entry permits based on the conditions and procedures set. Between 2013 to 2023, the approval rates for the wives of citizens stood at 22.3 per cent and the approval rates for husbands stood at 22.7 per cent. "Based on the percentage of approved entry permits, there is no significant difference between applications made by husbands and wives within the citizen category. "Therefore, each entry permit application in the husband and wife to citizen category is assessed fairly and equitably," he said. He added that several factors are taken into consideration when granting approvals. "For example, in the case of citizens' wives, issues related to welfare and neglect are considered," he said.

Imperfect truce: Thailand and Cambodia must relearn habits of cooperation
THE ceasefire brokered in Kuala Lumpur on July 28, 2025, by Asean Chair, Malaysia's Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was intended to halt the rapid escalation of a five-day conflict that claimed over 40 lives and displaced more than 300,000 civilians. Yet, within hours of implementation, accusations surfaced. Thailand claimed that Cambodian troops had violated the terms of the truce. Cambodia, in turn, denied any wrongdoing and insisted on full compliance. This mutual distrust underscores a reality often overlooked in the aftermath of ceasefires: peace is not made by paper alone. A ceasefire is merely a suspension of hostilities. Without a shared commitment to transparency, accountability, and restraint, such agreements remain brittle and ultimately ineffective. In the case of Thailand and Cambodia, the habits of military cooperation and political coordination appear to have withered, replaced instead by unilateralism and suspicion. Thailand holds the upper hand in conventional terms. Its military is better equipped, more mobile, and strategically coordinated. Cambodia, led by the new Prime Minister Hun Manet but still heavily influenced by his father, Hun Sen, has responded with nationalist fervour and rhetorical defiance. Both approaches risk deepening the impasse. Political actors on both sides seem more focused on managing domestic legitimacy than genuinely building bilateral trust. That posturing only widens the gap between their forces in the field and the peace so urgently needed by civilians caught in the crossfire. This dispute is more than a mere contest over ancient maps and sacred sites. It is now a regional concern with significant international consequences. President of the United States Donald Trump has warned that if the ceasefire fails, his administration will implement punitive tariffs — 49 per cent on Cambodian exports and 36 per cent on Thai goods. These threats are not idle. For a region still recovering from pandemic-era disruptions and global inflation, such tariffs would be economically devastating. China, for its part, has called quietly but firmly for dialogue. Its interests in mainland Southeast Asia — particularly through the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation mechanism and key Belt and Road infrastructure — depend on a stable and predictable neighbourhood. Prolonged conflict not only risks damaging Chinese investments but also weakens Asean's overall cohesion, making the region more vulnerable to great power manipulation. The General Border Committee meeting scheduled for August 4 2025 in Cambodia presents an opportunity to reset the trajectory. But it must go beyond symbolism. Concrete steps are needed. These include setting up joint verification teams, activating real-time communication lines between military commands, and establishing demilitarised zones in the most volatile areas. There must also be an agreement to jointly manage humanitarian relief and reconstruction for the tens of thousands displaced. Asean, long derided for its "non-interference" doctrine, has shown glimpses of maturity. Malaysia, as Chair, moved swiftly to convene both sides. Laos and the Philippines, the previous and future Chairs respectively, have been engaged in quiet diplomacy. Singapore and Indonesia have lent support to confidence-building. But Asean's effectiveness now depends on sustained follow-through. It must consider the deployment of neutral observers and take bolder steps to institutionalise early-warning and de-escalation mechanisms. Thailand and Cambodia must remember that military victories, even if achievable, do not resolve territorial or political disputes. A genuine settlement requires mutual recognition of sovereignty, shared responsibility for border governance, and acknowledgment of past grievances without weaponising them. The alternative is a return to tit-for-tat clashes, each deadlier than the last, with each side blaming the other while their people suffer the consequences. This is not a conflict that demands external arbitration, it is a dispute Asean is well-equipped to handle if its member states summon the will. The past 50 years have proven that Southeast Asia can contain its tensions through dialogue, consensus, and community-building. That legacy is now being tested, not by superpowers, but by two of its own. The ceasefire agreement signed in Kuala Lumpur must not become another footnote in a long list of failed truces. So far it isn't. It must serve as the foundation for a new habit of cooperation — one where Thailand and Cambodia can jointly manage their border, de-escalate tensions, and prioritise the lives and dignity of their people over nationalist grandstanding.

Palm opens higher on strong Dalian oils, crude oil prices
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures inched higher on Wednesday, tracking stronger rival Dalian oils and crude oil prices, though weaker Chicago soyoil capped the gains. The benchmark palm oil contract for October delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange gained 17 ringgit, or 0.4 per cent, to 4,271 ringgit (US$1,008.98) a metric ton in early trade. The contract rose 0.28 per cent in the previous session. Dalian's most-active soyoil contract rose 0.83 per cent, while its palm oil contract added 0.52 per cent. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade were down 0.19 per cent. Palm oil tracks price movements of rival edible oils, as it competes for a share of the global vegetable oils market. Oil prices ticked up in early trading after rising more than 3 per cent in the previous session as potential supply shortages came into focus after US President Donald Trump gave Moscow an abbreviated deadline toward ending the war in Ukraine. Stronger crude oil futures make palm a more attractive option for biodiesel feedstock. European Union soybean imports for the 2025/26 season that began in July reached 736,447 million metric tons by July 27, down 37 per cent from the same period a year earlier while palm oil imports fell by 53 per cent to 118,863 million tons, the European Commission data showed. Indian importers have bought a record 150,000 metric tons of soyoil from China in rare purchases, as a supply glut prompted Chinese crushers to sell at a discount to India's traditional suppliers from South America, four trade sources said. The ringgit, palm's currency of trade, weakened 0.05 per cent against the dollar, making the commodity slightly cheaper for buyers holding foreign currencies. Asian stocks rose modestly on Wednesday, with investors cautious after trade talks between the US and China ended without any substantive agreement and ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy announcement.
