Asean Fujian Convention 2025: Strengthening regional networks and economic collaboration
Tan Sri Ir Dr Lim Hock San, president of The Federation of Asean Fujian Associations, invites delegates to the Asean Fujian Convention 2025 on Aug 28 at the ShangriLa Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
This convention will unite participants from Asean, China and beyond to foster regional cooperation, promote crossborder business and celebrate Hokkien shared heritage.
It aims to boost Malaysia's tourism and services industries, spotlight local businesses and enhance economic integration while reinforcing Malaysia's leadership as host of Asean Summit 2025.
Highlights include:
> Asean Potential Development Forum, with opening remarks by Tan Sri Dr Johari Abdul, Speaker of the House and closing by Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong.
> Opening of the Hokkien Museum at Wisma Fujian, Pudu, Kuala Lumpur.
> Gala Dinner and Asean Fujian Entrepreneurship Awards, celebrating outstanding entrepreneurial achievements across Asean, with opening remarks by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. Fadillah will be the guest of honour for this event on Aug 28.
This significant event will bring together delegates and participants from across Asean, China and other international regions, with the aim of making a substantial impact to enhance regional cooperation, promote cross-border business opportunities and celebrate the shared cultural heritage of the Hokkien community.
The convention is expected to deliver wide-ranging benefits for the community and the nation. It will play a pivotal role in revitalising Malaysia's tourism and service sectors by drawing international participation and attention.
The convention will ignite investment flows and business partnerships within the Hokkien community across Asean, China and beyond — putting local enterprises in the spotlight and connecting homegrown products to regional and global markets.
At the same time, it will fuel Malaysia's economic momentum by reinforcing its role as Asean Summit Host 2025 and advancing national goals — deeper economic integration and stronger diplomatic and trade ties across South-East Asia. Reports show Asean is actively pursuing intra-regional trade, investment harmonisation and diversified markets to combat global economic uncertainty and tariffs.
'This convention is more than a cultural celebration; it's a platform to build sustainable business ties, deepen regional bonds and honour Hokkien entrepreneurial spirit,' said Lim.
'We look forward to welcoming all delegates and partners to an enlightening and impactful event.'

Ringgit rises as US plans new tariffs on major partners
KUALA LUMPUR : The ringgit opened higher against the US dollar on Monday, lifted by concerns over Washington's plan to impose tariffs on three major trading partners from Aug 1, 2025. Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 30% tariff on goods from the European Union and Mexico, and a 35% tariff on Canadian products. At 8am, the ringgit strengthened to 4.2405/4.2635 against the greenback, compared with Friday's close of 4.2475/4.2525. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Afzanizam Rashid said the US had weaponised tariffs to gain economic advantage. 'Clearly, the tariff policy instrument has been weaponised by the US to address economic imbalances. 'This means downside risks to global growth remain elevated, while the risk of higher inflation especially in the US, is becoming more apparent, complicating the Federal Reserve's decision-making on rate cuts,' he noted. Afzanizam added that the ringgit is expected to remain within a narrow range of RM4.24 to RM4.25 amid ongoing global uncertainties. At the open, the ringgit was higher against a basket of major currencies. It advanced against the Japanese yen to 2.8792/2.8950 from 2.8893/2.8929, strengthened against the British pound to 5.7234/5.7544 from 5.7524/5.7592, and gained versus the euro to 4.9546/4.9815 from 4.9679/4.9737 previously. The local note was also firmer against most Asean currencies, except the Thai baht. It rose vis-a-vis the Singapore dollar to 3.3119/3.3303 from 3.3186/3.3228, edged up against the Indonesian rupiah to 261.4/263.0 from 261.8/262.3, and appreciated versus the Philippine peso to 7.51/7.55 from 7.52/7.53. However, it slipped against the Thai baht to 13.0916/13.1711 from 13.0668/13.0886 at Friday's close.

Ambalat needs quiet diplomacy, not open debates
The recent pledge by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto to pursue peaceful, mutually beneficial economic cooperation deserves praise for its pragmatic foresight. The pledge in June includes several promising prospects. Among them is a plan to jointly explore and develop the contested oil- and gas-rich Ambalat block in the Celebes Sea, off the eastern coast of Sabah. If this initiative proceeds, it would mark a welcome step away from the longstanding impasse over unresolved maritime boundaries between the two countries. For Malaysia, this peaceful mechanism for managing maritime territorial disputes is neither new nor unprecedented. Among ASEAN members, Malaysia pioneered the approach by signing joint development agreements — first with Thailand in 1979, and later with Vietnam in 1992 — enabling shared exploration and development of hydrocarbon reserves across vast contested areas in the Gulf of Thailand. In the context of international law, this arrangement is consistent with provisions in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which allow collaborative measures to be implemented while disputing parties seek a final resolution over the contested area. In the case of Ambalat, the intention of both countries to manage the dispute peacefully aligns with the principles embodied in the ASEAN Charter. Certain parties, though, voiced objections to jointly developing Ambalat's oil and gas resources with Indonesia. However, the public uproar also highlights a deeper issue: the misguided notion that the details of delicate negotiations and high-level meetings between leaders or government officials must be made public. Not all diplomatic negotiations are created equal, nor should they be subject to real-time public scrutiny. Some issues, especially those involving maritime territorial and boundary disputes like the Ambalat seabed, are highly technical, legally complex and inherently sensitive. Openly debating these topics risks turning nuanced discussions into populist spectacles. The reality is that maritime boundary delimitation requires expertise in international law, hydrography and history — fields in which few laypersons or politicians are truly knowledgeable. Keeping the negotiation process private, at least to a certain degree, helps prevent misunderstandings or misinterpretations that could inflame tensions or derail delicate talks. Until finalised outcomes are reached, negotiators need private space to discuss sensitive issues, test ideas, make concessions and propose creative solutions without fear of immediate political backlash or public pressure. When talks unfold under the glare of public opinion, even a hint of flexibility is often seized upon as a sign of weakness, pushing parties to retreat into rigid, uncompromising stances. At certain stages, confidentiality in negotiations — even beyond the context of the Ambalat dispute — is essential to protect national interests and security. Prematurely revealing positions can weaken Malaysia's bargaining power and expose strategic vulnerabilities. Once negotiating lines become public, adversaries can exploit them, and domestic critics can pressure leaders or negotiators into rigid stances that leave no room for compromise or manoeuvring. Beyond joint development of economic resources in the disputed maritime areas, are there alternative options to manage or resolve the Ambalat dispute peacefully? Third-party dispute settlement mechanisms are one possibility worth considering. Malaysia has previously referred its maritime sovereignty disputes to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for adjudication, notably in cases involving the Sipadan and Ligitan islands with Indonesia, as well as Batu Puteh and two maritime features with Singapore. Nonetheless, pursuing this judicial route may not be the preferred option for Indonesia. When the ICJ awarded Sipadan and Ligitan to Malaysia in 2002, the judgment sparked protests in several Indonesian cities. Had every stage of the current Ambalat discussions been made public, nationalist fervour on either side could have derailed progress. Demanding full disclosure of every twist and turn of negotiations is unrealistic and counterproductive. In the case of Ambalat, success depends not only on what leaders decide, but also on society's willingness to trust the process. After decades of stalemate in the Ambalat dispute, we should give diplomacy the space it needs to succeed.

Singapore boosts support for Timor-Leste as it prepares to join Asean
SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore will step up its support of Timor-Leste's development of its government's capacity, as the region's youngest nation prepares to join Asean as a full member. The upgraded Singapore-Timor-Leste Asean Readiness Support (Stars) package, known as the enhanced Stars (eStars) package, will offer tailored assistance to help the South-east Asian nation meet requirements to join key Asean economic agreements. This was announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on July 14 at a luncheon for visiting Timor-Leste President Xanana Gusmao. Mr Gusmao is on an official four-day visit to Singapore, more than a decade after his first as prime minister in 2013. He received a ceremonial welcome on July 14 before meeting President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. Speaking at the lunch held at the Pan Pacific Hotel, Mr Wong said the refreshed package will also include training aligned with Timor-Leste's national development priorities, as well as leadership development programmes and scholarships for its future leaders. The eStars package, which runs from July 2025 to December 2028, will offer wider access to Asean-related training courses and expertise to support Timor-Leste's integration into the regional grouping. The first iteration of the Stars initiative formally began in 2022. Addressing Mr Gusmao, PM Wong said: 'Timor-Leste's upcoming accession to Asean is a significant milestone, both for your country and for Asean.

And we will continue to stand with you on this journey.' Speaking at the same event, Mr Gusmao thanked Singapore for its support over the years, particularly in helping Timor-Leste prepare for Asean membership. He cited the training provided to Timorese civil servants in areas such as negotiation and policy writing, describing it as 'a real difference' that reflects cooperation 'measured not in words, but in actions'. Timor-Leste, with a population of 1.3 million, formally applied to join the regional grouping in 2011. It received in-principle endorsement in May, and its accession is expected to be formalised at the 47th Asean Summit in October. In his speech, PM Wong noted how Mr Gusmao has long-standing ties with Singapore, and that it is proud to be a partner of Timor-Leste. 'We remember well your many contributions to Timor-Leste's journey – fighting for independence, unifying the country, and guiding your people through the early years of nation-building,' Mr Wong said. He added that Singapore has 'stood in solidarity' with Timor Leste even before its independence. Mr Wong noted that the Republic was among the first countries to participate in a multinational peacekeeping mission led by Australia in 1999. Timor-Leste gained independence in 2002, following a 1999 United Nations-sponsored referendum in which an overwhelming majority voted to break away from Indonesian rule. The vote was marred by violence from pro-integration militias, following decades of unrest and foreign occupation. Over the decade since Timor-Leste gained independence, more than a thousand Singapore personnel have worked alongside the Timorese people to provide humanitarian assistance, build institutions, and support its 'transition to peace and stability', PM Wong said. Bilateral ties between Singapore and Timor-Leste have grown steadily, with Singapore starting its embassy in the capital Dili in 2024 – 'a reflection of its commitment to deeper engagement', Mr Wong said. Economic links between both sides are expanding, and Singapore companies are exploring opportunities in hospitality, real estate and other sectors, said PM Wong. He also noted that direct flights between the two countries have resumed, with a mutual visa waiver agreement implemented in 2024. Even prior to the Stars initiative started in 2022, more than 1,100 Timorese officials since 2002 have participated in courses under the Singapore Cooperation Programme, which is Singapore's flagship platform established in 1992 for technical assistance and capacity building for developing nations. These courses help to build capabilities across a range of areas, from public administration to language and communications. A Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement said President Tharman and PM Wong reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Timor-Leste's development through capacity building programmes, welcoming more Timorese officials to participate in the Singapore Cooperation Programme. As his country moves towards full Asean membership, Mr Gusmao acknowledged the challenges ahead but emphasised that regional unity and solidarity are more important than ever in an increasingly unstable world. He noted how Singapore's development discipline and clarity of purpose was an example to nations, not only across the region but around the world. Singapore and Timor-Leste are countries of different cultures and histories, but both share a common spirit that their futures must be shaped by their people, said Mr Gusmao. He also spoke about how both nations are diverse and multicultural, and said it was inspiring to see how Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian communities coexist harmoniously in Singapore. Similarly, he shared how Timor-Leste draws strength from its indigenous roots, Portuguese legacy, and its many languages and traditions. 'This diversity is not a weakness. It is a source of unity, a quiet strength that holds our societies together,' he said. He said there is potential to deepen bilateral cooperation with Singapore, in areas such as tourism, education, infrastructure and investment. Highlighting Timor-Leste's natural beauty, from mountain ranges to tropical beaches rich in marine biodiversity, Mr Gusmao said his country's Blue Economy strategy underscores its commitment to sustainability. 'We welcome partnerships that align with that vision. Not just investment, but collaboration, knowledge-sharing and mutual growth,' he said. PM Wong also thanked Mr Gusmao and the government of Timor-Leste for a gift of 60 sandalwood saplings for Singapore's 60th year of independence. These saplings, he said, are a powerful symbol of how both countries can grow and thrive together in the years ahead – both bilaterally and in Asean. 'I assure you that Singapore will take good care of the saplings and make sure they grow into strong and sturdy trees; befitting of the enduring friendship between our two countries,' he said. - The Straits Times/ANN
