Gas Malaysia resumes full supply after curtailment lifted
PETALING JAYA : Gas Malaysia Bhd has resumed full gas supply operations following the lifting of a curtailment imposed after the gas pipeline fire at Putra Heights, Subang Jaya.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the company said it had received official confirmation from its gas supplier on Tuesday on the lifting of the curtailment at the Shah Alam and Batu Tiga city gate stations.
It said gas supply operations have resumed as per the quantities stipulated in the gas supply agreements with customers.
Previously, the group reported disruptions in gas supply after the Putra Heights incident, which led to precautionary curtailments at several stations to ensure safety and system integrity.
The supply cuts covered Shah Alam, Kundang, Petaling Jaya, Teluk Panglima Garang, Port Klang, and Pulau Indah and its surrounding areas, as well as Merbau, Tronoh, Perai, Junjung and Hutan Melintang.

SST exemptions for key construction projects, including homes, parks, and public toilets, says Ahmad Maslan
KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 — The government continues to support the construction sector by granting Sales and Services Tax (SST) exemptions for selected projects, particularly those involving residential buildings and public facilities, including houses of worship, recreational parks and public toilets, said Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan. He said essential building materials such as cement, aggregate (gravel) and sand remain zero-rated under the sales tax to help reduce the burden on developers and ensure the continuity of infrastructure projects. 'Selected business-to-business (B2B) activities are subject to certain conditions. For instance, main contractors are subject to SST, but not to subcontractors earning below the threshold of RM1.5 million,' he said during an oral question and answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today. Ahmad was responding to a question from Yusuf Abd Wahab (GPS-Tanjong Manis) regarding the categories of construction projects exempted from SST, as well as the ministry's steps to ensure that existing projects are not affected by its implementation. In line with the government's commitment to implement SST fairly and effectively, he said, companies and contractors that carry out contracts that do not allow for review will be granted a one-year exemption, subject to terms and conditions. 'This incentive is part of the government's measures to ensure the construction industry has sufficient time to adjust the system, streamline the registration process and obtain accurate clarification on the implementation of SST,' he said. Meanwhile, Ahmad said that there has been no discussion to increase the threshold value for registration of taxable services for the construction sector from RM1.5 million to RM3 million. He was responding to a supplementary question from Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman (PN-Kuala Krai) regarding the industry's proposal for the threshold value for registration of SST taxable services to be increased from RM1.5 million to RM3 million, particularly for construction and rental and leasing categories. — Bernama

Bank Negara trims 2025 GDP forecast to 4.0–4.8pc amid global uncertainties
KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 — Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has revised Malaysia's 2025 gross domestic product (GDP) growth projection to between 4.0 per cent and 4.8 per cent from 4.5 per cent - 5.5 per cent previously. The projection takes into account various tariff scenarios, ranging from continued elevation of tariffs to more favourable trade negotiation outcomes. In a statement today, the central bank said the forecast remains subject to uncertainties surrounding the global economy, both on the downside and the upside. 'Favourable trade negotiation outcomes, pro-growth policies in major economies, continued demand for electrical and electronic goods, and robust tourism activity could raise Malaysia's export and growth prospects,' it said. Meanwhile, BNM Governor Datuk Seri Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour said the Malaysian economy remains resilient despite global uncertainties, supported by the outcome of structural reforms undertaken over the years. 'The sustained strength in economic activity and moderate inflation provides a supportive environment to pursue structural reforms for a more resilient and competitive Malaysia in the future,' he said. — Bernama
