MATRADE Secures Over RM120 Mln Trade Prospects At Korea Import Fair 2025
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 (Bernama) -- The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) has total trade prospects exceeding RM120 million in Malaysia's inaugural participation at the July 7-9 Korea Import Fair (KIF) 2025.
In a statement today, MATRADE said this is more than double its initial target of RM60 million.
Malaysia Pavilion showcased 12 companies and one government agency and was the largest national pavilion at the fair.
It also implemented a range of targeted promotional initiatives to amplify Malaysia's presence to include business matching sessions with South Korean importers, digital marketing and social media campaigns, live streaming sessions and strategic media engagements.
'The impact of these initiatives was reflected in the strong results recorded. Malaysian products that garnered strong interest from South Korean buyers were jewellery such as necklaces and bracelets, footwear, ICT services, apparel, tropical fruits, and food and beverages,' it said.
MATRADE chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Mustafa Abdul Aziz said its participation is part of its broader strategy to unlock export opportunities and outcomes, reaffirming the importance of strategic partnerships, focused promotional efforts and tailored business matching to create new avenues for Malaysian exporters.
'MATRADE's participation in KIF 2025 aligns with Malaysia's long-term vision of strengthening regional connectivity and expanding market access in Northeast Asia,' he added.

‘More Orang Asli in varsity'
Farming the future: Ahmad Zahid (left) visiting Onuku Farm, a sheep and dairy farm in Rotorua, New Zealand, to review the best practices in the agricultural and livestock industries that can be emulated and adapted in Malaysia. Also present is the Malaysian High Commissioner to New Zealand, Mazita Marzuki (second from left). — Bernaa ROTORUA: More than 500 Orang Asli students have enrolled in local private and public universities to further their studies this year, said Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The Deputy Prime Minister said this was among the achievements of the current administration to uplift the socioeconomic status of the community. 'Although the Orang Asli represent a minority group, the Madani government is committed to ensuring that they receive the necessary attention and support, thereby preventing them from being sidelined or left behind,' he stated to reporters following his participation in the Maori Business Roundtable discussions with Maori community leaders yesterday. He said the number of Orang Asli students enrolling in the local universities has been increasing since 2023. 'The 300 enrolment target set for 2023 was exceeded, and the enrolment also surpassed last year's target of 400 after it was increased. 'This year's target of 500 has also been surpassed,' he said. Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid announced that he would soon chair a special meeting with the Orang Asli Development Department (Jakoa) to establish an Orang Asli Business Council. He said the council will help expose the community to various viable business fields. He added a microcredit scheme would be established under Amanah Ikthiar Malaysia to offer small loans to Orang Asli women and mothers, enabling them to generate additional income for their families. 'We will also set up a TVET institution specifically for the Orang Asli,' he added. The Melaka government is also looking into turning the Orang Asli village in Gapam Baru in Selandar, Alor Gajah, into an international tourist attraction. He said further talks will be held to fine-tune the details of the proposal, including providing funds to promote the village. He added Cameron Highlands MP Datuk Ramli Mohd Nor, who also heads the Orang Asli Development Committee, will oversee the implementation of these proposals. Ramli is the nation's first Orang Asli MP, and he was subsequently appointed as Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker. There are slightly more than 200,000 Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia, who account for about 0.8% of the nation's population. Earlier, Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Rural and Regional Development Minister, visited the Whakarewa Living Maori Village in an effort to learn how New Zealand's indigenous community manages their cultural and economic affairs. The Deputy Prime Minister is on a five-day working visit that began on July 14, with the aim of boosting bilateral ties and trade with New Zealand.

Media council opens membership sign-up next month
PUTRAJAYA: Membership registration for the Malaysian Media Council (MMC) will take place from early August to the end of September, with a nominal fee of RM10, say the council's founding board members. Applications can be submitted at the council said in a statement yesterday, Bernama reported. 'Membership is open to media owners, professionals, individuals and organisations involved in the media ecosystem, as well as those representing the public's interest,' the statement read. This was announced after members of the founding board received their letters of appointment from Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil (pic). The MMC also announced that its inaugural Annual General Meeting (AGM) is scheduled to take place on Nov 7 in Kuala Lumpur. At the AGM, new board members will be elected and key matters will be discussed, including the membership fee structure, the industry's code of ethics, the complaints mechanism, the annual budget and MMC's bylaws. At its first meeting, the founding board appointed Premesh Chandran as interim chairperson, pending the election of a full board later this year. As an independent self-regulatory body for Malaysia's media industry, the MMC is expected to play a pivotal role in promoting ethical and responsible journalism, establishing the industry code of ethics and serving as a bridge between the media, government and the public. 'The MMC will enhance professionalism in the media industry and protect public interest within an increasingly complex media environment,' MMC added. MMC said its structure is designed to ensure broad representation, with the founding board consisting of elected representatives from media publishers, media professionals and public interest groups, including academics and members of civil society. 'Additionally, the government may appoint two representatives. Notably, the MMC Act 2025 stipulates that at least 25% of board members must come from Sabah and Sarawak, and leadership of the Council must reflect gender parity – a first in Malaysia,' it said. In the same statement, founding board member Phyllis Wong, representing Borneo Post and Utusan Borneo, expressed her honour at being entrusted with this responsibility. She felt encouraged by the collective commitment to uphold media ethics and accountability, even though the MMC is not yet fully operational.

BOOSTING GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS
IN A significant stride towards integrated workforce recruitment, Talent Corporation Malaysia Bhd (TalentCorp), a strategic think tank under the Human Resources Ministry (Kesuma), has rolled out a centralised digital ecosystem to streamline expatriate talent hiring procedures. The new system integrates the MYFutureJobs platform and Foreign Workers Integrated Management System (ePPAx) into Xpats Gateway, simplifying the approval process for employers and strengthening Malaysia's digital governance. This strategic move aims to streamline the process of connecting global talent with local opportunities, promising greater efficiency for businesses and clearer pathways for international professionals looking to navigate the Malaysian job market. It creates a more cohesive and structured ecosystem for talent acquisition, making it simpler for local businesses to tap into a global pool of skilled individuals. Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong said that this move reflects the country's commitment to improving regulatory coherence. The improved system marks the operationalisation of an automatically synchronised and end-to-end digital expatriate approval ecosystem. 'By streamlining the process, we are re-engineering and advancing government service delivery, raising productivity and reinforcing Malaysia as a competitive, investment-ready economy,' he said during a media briefing held at Sofitel Kuala Lumpur in Bukit Damansara on July 7. 'Integrating these platforms creates seamless, automated connectivity, making it a one-stop channel for businesses and employers.' He added that key regulatory requirements have been merged into the new Xpats Gateway system – Section 60K of the Employment Act 1955, regulated by the Peninsular Malaysia Labour Department (JTKSM), and the MYFutureJobs acknowledgement letter, administered by the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso). Coordinating through digitalisation Launched two years ago by TalentCorp, Xpats Gateway is a single-window online platform for expatriate application procedures, connecting 26 regulatory bodies and approving agencies. The integration of MYFutureJobs and ePPAx within the system went live on July 1. Previously, employers had to navigate their applications on three separate platforms – MYFutureJobs, ePPAx and Xpats Gateway – with varying approvals that took months to complete. Now, the newly integrated system offers key improvements, such as: > Eliminating redundancies: Companies can streamline processes, reducing repetitive data entry by 70%. > Shortening approval timelines: JTKSM and MYFutureJobs applications can be submitted concurrently, with processing times reduced to 10 working days each. > Enabling greater transparency and fraud prevention: Employers can track application status in real time, and all data and documents are sourced directly from official systems, reducing the risk of fraudulent submissions. Since its launch on July 1, Sim said that approximately 100 local organisations have used the new integrated system, with some already receiving first-stage approvals. He added that the system is expected to reduce turnaround times for application approvals to within 20 days. Sim also highlighted that there is on-arrival support for expatriates at the Expatriate Satellite Centres (ESC) in KLIA 1 and 2, facilitating employers and foreign talent to begin the employment process as soon as they land. 'Previously, employers had to take expatriates to their temporary accommodations until they received their expatriate Employment Pass (EP), before commencing work – which could take up to a month,' said Sim. 'Now, with the ESCs, the moment an expatriate lands in Malaysia, they will receive their EP and can start work immediately, if needed. This saves employers and hirers nearly RM500mil in annual expatriate support. 'That's what we're trying to do, increase the efficiency of service and reduce costs, so that companies can conduct their business effectively.' The Ministry's deputy secretary-general (policy and international) Dr Mohd Shaharin Umar said this system will improve public sector efficiency and aid the country in identifying and filling skill gaps. 'This integration is part of the government's initiative to provide a more holistic hiring ecosystem. It is the first step in our long-term plan,' he said. 'Having a centralised data repository will make it easier for us to address any skill mismatches and fill gaps, while also improving local employability prospects through reskilling and upskilling initiatives.' With approximately 100,000 expatriate applications annually, Immigration Department director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban added that the integration will shorten processing times for expatriate EP approval, facilitating a growing and more progressive economy. 'This collaboration is an example of a whole-of-government approach to strengthening investor confidence, upholding national security and delivering more trustworthy and transparent public services,' said Zakaria. 'Based on recent statistics, there has been an increase in expatriates, with over 138,000 currently in the country. 'This is an indication that we are headed towards a more successful economy, and that business opportunities are increasing, which is why the need for hiring expatriates has increased.' Enhancing global competitiveness The initiative also seeks to support the country's competitiveness as a global investment destination, benefitting employers, government agencies, citizens and expatriates. TalentCorp group chief executive officer Thomas Mathew said the move not only reduces redundancies but will also enhance Malaysia's global competitiveness. 'We live in a world which is very competitive and a region that is even more so. Moving forward, we will look at how we can further improve the process,' he said. 'One aspect we are looking at is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) processing in Xpats Gateway. AI can assess and process data and documents at a faster rate, making it easier to conduct business in the country, attract more foreign investments, create more high-skilled jobs for our youth and ultimately grow the economy.' Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) chief executive Sheikh Farouk Sheikh Mohamed echoed Mathew's statements, highlighting that the digitalised system will improve the ease of doing business for companies. 'We live in the era of AI, and we can't run away from it. With the current global economic standards and rising costs of business, we have to embrace digitalisation. 'Doing so will increase the productivity level of the economy and reduce the cost of furthering business opportunities,' he said. European Chamber of Commerce (Eurocham) Malaysia chief executive officer Karl Godderis added that strategic improvements like this enhance competition with other developing nations, positioning Malaysia as an ideal destination for expatriates. 'Malaysia is not the only country in the region vying for investor attention. You have to compete for it,' he said. 'In the last few years, the country has been successful in attracting more foreign direct investment thanks to the increase in knowledge transfer. 'Knowledge transfer requires the mobility of people, so this initiative – which enables a much faster and transparent transfer process to move people – is a smart move in promoting Malaysia as a global investment destination. 'We live in a time where time-effectiveness is paramount, and investors expect no less.' Meanwhile, Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) deputy director-general Dr Mohamad Norjayadi Tamam said Xpats Gateway is a key enabler of the Madani Economy framework, as it aligns with national goals to position Malaysia among the world's top 12 most competitive economies by 2033. 'Through this initiative, we have already seen sector-related improvements in terms of efficiency, which has increased business productivity as well,' he said. 'By having this centralised system, we provide a platform for everyone involved to identify how we can further improve. With continuous enhancements, we will be on course to achieve the aspiration of our Madani economy.' He added that this efficient and modern approach to workforce approvals has already made an impact on the country, as Malaysia rose 11 spots to the 23rd position in the 2025 IMD World Competitiveness Rankings, driven by improvements in business efficiency and digital readiness.
