Defence Ministry acknowledges delays in Gempita vehicle delivery
KUALA LUMPUR: The Defence Ministry has acknowledged delays in the delivery of 68 Gempita armoured vehicles and two other vehicles by a company from 2020 to 2023, says Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari. He said the ministry issued a late penalty notice of RM162.75mil on January 15. In response, the company - Deftech - appealed for the penalty to be waived, citing force majeure due to the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. "The appeal was discussed in a Contract Coordination Panel meeting on May 6, resulting in the company being fined RM162.75mil. "An execution bond of RM53.9mil will be seized, and the remaining penalty will be settled through current contracts or separate collections," he said when wrapping up his ministerial replies during the debate on the Auditor-General's Report in Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (July 23). This was the first time the A-G Report was tabled for debate. Adly also said the company is required to pay, with two methods outlined by the coordination panel. "On June 25, a directive was issued to banks to seize RM53.9mil, with the remaining RM108mil to be offset through other contracts with Mindef. "The Gempita vehicles, initially due in 2017, received an extension until 2022, and the penalty system could be improved in procurement processes. "Mindef acknowledged weaknesses in contract terms and is developing a monitoring system for better oversight," he added. Previously, it was reported that weaknesses were identified in the procurement of the army's armoured vehicle fleet, including a two-year delay in issuing late delivery penalty claims. The Auditor-General's Department found that the weaknesses included uncollected late delivery penalties amounting to RM162.75mil under the Gempita armoured vehicle supply contract, unimposed late service penalties amounting to RM1.42mil under the maintenance, repair, and spare parts supply contract, as well as procurements totalling RM107.54mil executed through contract splitting. The Auditor-General also found delivery delays ranging between six and 1,048 days for 70 vehicles.

- Global Risks, Threats To A Sustainable World Economy
22/07/2025 04:03 PM Opinions on topical issues from thought leaders, columnists and editors. By : Prof Datuk Dr Ahmad Ibrahim Climate change and resource depletion are two of the defining risks to the global economy. This explains the growing worldwide efforts to reduce carbon emission and practise the efficient use of resources. But the climate and resource risks, though major, are not the only threats. The world economy today faces a complex, interlinked set of risks. As a country, Malaysia also has to deal with similar risks. Effectively managing them is key to our sustained economic performance. The other major risks include geopolitical tensions and conflicts, global health crises, financial system instability, technological disruptions, cybersecurity risks, inequality and social unrest, and demographic shifts. We also know for a fact that where there are risks, there are also opportunities. There is no doubt that political instability and trade disputes can disrupt supply chains, energy markets, and global investment flows. The Ukraine-Russia war and US-China trade tensions are recent examples. Though many know that diplomacy and multilateralism through forums like the UN, ASEAN, G20 and WTO are the ways to manage them, executing is never easy. Aside from diplomacy, diversifying trade and energy routes, as well as building regional trade agreements to minimise overdependence on specific countries can be possible solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic showed how a health emergency can cripple economies, disrupt labour markets, and affect global travel and trade. Dealing with such health crisis includes investing in global health infrastructure, early warning systems, and pandemic preparedness. They also include building resilient, flexible supply chains for essential goods like medicines and food and of course international cooperation for the rapid deployment of vaccine and treatment. Rapid technological change a risk It is no secret that financial crises, market volatility and debt defaults can destabilise economies. Possible solutions include strengthening global financial regulations and oversight, maintaining sound fiscal and monetary policies. Rapid technological change is also a risk. It can displace jobs, widen inequality, and increase vulnerability to cyberattacks on financial systems, infrastructure, and data. We need to invest in digital infrastructure and cybersecurity, updating regulations to keep pace with technology (AI ethics, data privacy), and reskilling and upskilling the workforce for the digital economy. Rising wealth and income inequality form another risk. They can trigger social unrest, political instability, and economic stagnation. This is where implementing inclusive economic policies and access to education matter. Small businesses need support, and strengthening the social protection systems can make a difference. Furthermore, the ageing populations in developed countries create mismatches in the labour markets, pensions, and healthcare. Reforming pension and healthcare systems for ageing societies, investing in education and job creation for young populations, and managing migration policies effectively can be the tonic to neutralise such risks. How then can the world sustain the global economy amid these risks? A popular suggestion is to adopt a circular economy model. And decouple economic growth from resource use and emissions through renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and waste management. Also need to build resilient supply chains by diversifying suppliers, investing in local production capacity, and use digital tools for real-time risk management. No country can tackle these risks alone. Strengthening global governance and partnerships is crucial. Not to mention promoting responsible technological innovation. This is where we ensure that emerging technologies are developed with ethics, inclusivity, and sustainability in mind. The risks to the global economy are increasingly interconnected. A financial crisis can amplify social unrest. A pandemic can trigger supply chain and geopolitical tensions. A systems-thinking approach to risk management, grounded in sustainability, resilience and global cooperation, is the most effective path forward. Systems thinking is increasingly recognised as a powerful approach for managing complex, interconnected risks in today's global economy. Systems thinking is an approach to problem-solving that views challenges as parts of a broader, interconnected system rather than isolated issues. It focuses on understanding relationships and feedback loops, and identifying leverage points for interventions. How then to apply systems thinking to risk management and sustainability? First map the system. Use tools like causal loop diagrams, systems maps, or stock-and-flow models to visualise how different risks and factors interact. Identify reinforcing and balancing loops within the system. Economic inequality reinforcing social unrest, which in turn destabilises markets and worsens inequality. Focus on areas where small interventions can produce large system-wide changes. Education reforms can uplift economies, improve health, reduce crime, and empower communities simultaneously. Move beyond siloed thinking. Address climate, health, financial, and social risks through integrated policies and partnerships. There is no denying that by effectively managing such global risks, the impending threats to the world economy can be neutralised. The systems approach is the right way. -- BERNAMA Prof Dato Dr Ahmad Ibrahim is affiliated with the Tan Sri Omar Centre for STI Policy Studies at UCSI University and is an associate fellow at the Ungku Aziz Centre for Development Studies, Universiti Malaya.

EU agrees on 18th round of Russian sanctions over Ukraine war
Slovakia's Russia-friendly leader Robert Fico dropped his opposition to the sanctions after 'guarantees' from Brussels on gas prices. (EPA Images pic) BRUSSELS : EU countries on Friday signed off on a new package of sanctions on Russia over the war in Ukraine, including lowering a price cap on Moscow's oil exports. The 18th round of economic punishment against Russia since its 2022 invasion was approved after Slovakia dropped a weeks-long block following talks with Brussels over separate plans to phase out Russian gas imports. 'The EU just approved one of its strongest sanctions packages against Russia to date,' EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said. 'Each sanction weakens Russia's ability to wage war. The message is clear: Europe will not back down in its support for Ukraine. The EU will keep raising the pressure until Russia ends its war.' Slovakia's Russia-friendly leader Robert Fico dropped his opposition after getting what he called 'guarantees' from Brussels over gas prices as the bloc pushes to cut off Russian imports by the end of 2027. As part of the new sanctions designed to sap Russia's war chest, diplomats said the EU has agreed to lower its price cap on Russian oil exported to third countries around the world to 15% below market value. That comes despite EU allies failing to convince US President Donald Trump to go along with the plan. The cap is a G7 initiative aimed at limiting the amount of money Russia makes by exporting oil to countries across the globe such as China and India. The oil price cap, set at US$60 by the G7 in 2022, is designed to limit the price Moscow can sell oil around the world by banning shipping firms and insurance companies dealing with Russia to export above that amount. Under the new EU scheme – which is expected to get the backing of G7 allies like Britain and Canada – the new level will start off at US$47.6 and can be adjusted as oil prices change in the future. In addition, officials said the EU is blacklisting over 100 more more vessels in the 'shadow fleet' of ageing tankers used by Russia to circumvent oil export curbs. There are also measures to stop the defunct Baltic Sea gas pipelines Nord Stream 1 and 2 from being brought back online. Among other targets, sanctions will be placed on a Russian-owned oil refinery in India and two Chinese banks as the EU seeks to curb Moscow's ties with international partners. There is a also an expanded transaction ban on dealings with Russian banks and more restrictions on the export of 'dual-use' goods that could be used on the battlefield in Ukraine. The new sanctions will be formally adopted by EU ministers later on Friday.
