Making tourists feel safe is our top priority, says MATTA Melaka Chapter
Chairman of MATTA Melaka Chapter, Goh Hock Gin, said his team is working closely with government departments and enforcement agencies to strengthen safety measures and boost traveller confidence ahead of the major tourism campaigns.
'In conjunction with both major tourism events, MATTA has launched the 'Tourism Safety Awareness Seminar' to ensure that safety remains at the core of our tourism revival efforts,' he said after unveiling the VM2026 promotional vehicle stickers on Tuesday (July 8).
Goh stressed that safety must form the backbone of the local industry and should never be compromised by mishaps or road accidents.
'Today's seminar is not just about procedures but about restoring trust with holidaymakers.
"We want every tourism player in the state to prioritise security, hospitality/and professionalism,' he said.
He added that lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic had shown how critical resilience and adaptability are for sustaining the tourism sector.
"By putting safety first, we're also strengthening Malaysia's global image as a leading travel destination,' he said, adding that part of the campaign, a new vehicle sticker was introduced to represent a shared pledge among operators.
'This sticker isn't just about branding. It's a promise to tourists that the tourism operators adhere to the highest standards of safety and service,' he said.

Why global headwinds are pushing firms to rethink hiring
As tariffs rise, AI advances, and the energy transition accelerates, companies from Silicon Valley to the Klang Valley are trimming jobs – not in panic, but to future-proof their businesses FROM global corporations to Malaysian businesses, companies across industries are reevaluating their business models to navigate a rapidly changing global economy. Firms are restructuring operations to adapt to shifting geopolitical landscapes, technological advancements, and evolving climate targets. Malaysia has not been spared, with Goodyear, one of the world's largest tyre companies, shuttering its Malaysian operations as part of a global cost-cutting strategy. Meanwhile, Astro Malaysia, the country's leading content and entertainment company, has introduced company-wide measures to streamline its operations in line with broader shifts seen globally across the media and technology sectors. Why now? Three major trends are driving this wave of transformation. Geopolitics, trade tensions force rethink After years of globalisation, the pendulum is swinging back. Trade is being reshaped by geopolitics, with countries pushing to safeguard supply chains, even if it drives up costs. The US has hiked tariffs on China and hinted at more restrictions affecting South-East Asia. Despite holding steady thus far, Malaysia's electrical and electronics exports remain vulnerable to mounting geopolitical headwinds. Meanwhile, businesses are streamlining supply chains to mitigate geopolitical risks. Friendshoring, or locating production in 'friendly' countries, is on the rise, and Malaysia is benefiting. Intel, Infineon and Micron have all invested heavily in new chip facilities here. Even Chinese firms are shifting production to Malaysia to navigate US trade restrictions. But not all sectors are thriving. Semiconductor demand cooled last year after a pandemic-driven surge, prompting layoffs and hiring freezes in Penang's manufacturing corridors. The glove industry – a sector that boomed during the Covid-19 pandemic – also saw a downturn in 2023, leading Top Glove to shut down factories in China and Vietnam. The tech industry has also seen significant workforce reductions. For instance, major Silicon Valley firms like Meta and Microsoft collectively laid off over 30,000 employees globally earlier this year – nearly 20,000 in the San Francisco Bay Area alone – as companies recalibrated after pandemic-era overhiring and shifted focus towards AI and automation. Similar cuts have also been felt closer to home, with layoffs impacting tech hubs in Singapore. The retail sector is facing its own challenges, with projections indicating over 15,000 store closures in the US this year, potentially leading to more than 200,000 job losses, as consumer habits shift and economic pressures mount. Meanwhile, the automotive industry is undergoing significant restructuring. For example, Thyssenkrupp announced plans to cut around 1,800 jobs due to ongoing weakness in the automotive sector it supplies, citing declining production volumes and uncertainty due to potential new tariffs. For many businesses, this is what downsizing looks like: scaling back in markets promising lower returns and doubling down in areas with longer-term potential. The energy transition The shift toward cleaner energy is another major factor. As climate goals tighten, energy producers and heavy industries are changing how they operate, and who they hire. In Malaysia, government-linked companies PETRONAS and Tenaga Nasional Bhd are increasingly moving into renewables, areas that require different expertise and hence evolving headcount. The same story is playing out globally. Car makers are investing in electric vehicles and trimming roles tied to combustion engines. Power companies are moving from coal to solar and wind, prompting retraining and reorganisation. Malaysia's own energy roadmap calls for a pivot to low-carbon sources, bringing new jobs in solar, hydrogen and EV charging, while phasing out others. To support this transition, the government and industry are investing in retraining programmes, helping oil and gas workers move into green tech. But the clock is ticking. The companies acting now are those hoping to stay ahead of the curve, not get left behind. Doing more with less: AI, digital transformation In addition to responding to external shocks, companies are also pursuing greater productivity. Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, many tasks, once performed by humans, are now handled by algorithms. Meanwhile, local banks are grappling with tightening regulations and rising non-performing loans, forcing them to streamline branches and retrain staff for digital banking operations. They are also increasingly using AI for customer service, reducing the need for large call centre teams. In retail, brick-and-mortar chains are closing storefronts amid fluctuations in consumer spending and the rise of e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Shopee, sparking realignments into logistics and digital marketing over in-person sales. The trend is global. A Bloomberg Intelligence report suggests up to 200,000 banking jobs worldwide could be lost to AI in the next five years. In Malaysia, ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, cut hundreds of jobs last year from its KL moderation team, as AI tools replaced many human screeners. Even startups are feeling the shift. With investor money harder to come by, firms are prioritising lean teams supported by software tools. Hiring has slowed, and many companies are discovering they can maintain output with fewer people, provided they're using the right tech. For workers, this means reskilling is no longer optional. The most vulnerable roles are those that are easily automated. Developing tech fluency and adaptability is now the safest bet. A new business mindset All these moves, whether in response to geopolitics, AI or climate goals, reflect a broader shift in corporate thinking. Companies are restructuring not because they're failing, but because they're evolving. Global firms are recalibrating their operations, and Malaysian workers and businesses are part of that equation. Some jobs will disappear while others will be transformed. But new roles will also be created, especially in sectors like advanced manufacturing, AI, and clean energy. The key is readiness. Those who anticipate change and adapt early will have the edge. In a volatile global economy, staying competitive means knowing when to pivot. The companies doing that now are likely to be the ones still standing a decade from now. This article was previously published by Free Malaysia Today.

NST Leader: Data centre surge
MALAYSIA, a small hydrocarbon producer by world standards, is eyeing the new oil of the 21st century: data centres. Glowing bromide hype on such centres match their power demand surge. On Monday, Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd (HLIB Research) said in a thematic note to Business Times that Malaysia is no longer a spillover market from Singapore and that it is a go-to destination for hyperscalers. Johor is partly the reason for the hype. From 10 megawatts (MW) of data centres in 2021, the state grew to 1.3 gigawatts last year, according to media reports. Not so fast, we must say. They are not just guzzlers of water and energy, but gobblers of land, too. Sure, there is ample land, as HLIB Research reckons, but only for now. Even cost competitiveness is under threat with the recent Tenaga Nasional Bhd tariff hike. A Reuters report on July 1 quoted industry and government officials as saying that the new tariff hike would add 10 to 14 per cent to the electricity costs of data centres. According to Gary Goh of Sprint DC Consulting, a data centre advisory firm that the news agency quotes, for a 100 MW facility, that works out to be an additional US$15 to US$20 million per year, not including fuel surcharge. Fuel surcharge is announced by the government every month based on fuel prices and foreign exchange. Goh also said many in the industry were caught unprepared for the scale of increase and that some investors were already on the wait-and-see mode. Be that as it may, Reuters, pointing to a joint report issued in May by Bain & Co, Google and Singapore's state-owned Temasek, said Malaysia is set for the region's fastest surge in data centre power demand, tripling to 21 per cent by 2027 from seven per cent in 2022. Malaysia, committed as it is to tame climate change, is slowly but surely phasing out black gold due to its Earth-warming effect. But data centres aren't exactly problem-free. Think guzzlers and gobblers. According to one estimate, a 100 MW data centre consumes electricity equivalent to what 45,000 households use. A data centre with similar capacity is said to use water equivalent to a 10,000-person city in the calculation of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, an American entity. Malaysia may have enough energy and water for now, but what about in the years to come? Many will argue that the data centres are paying a premium for access to energy and water, but both are drawn from the same sources. As more and more data centres come chasing cheap land and energy, electricity infrastructure and rivers will be stressed beyond their capacity. This is precisely why Singapore imposed a moratorium on data centres between 2019 and 2022. On Jan 5, then natural resources and environmental sustainability minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad admitted in an interview with the Financial Times that data centres had put "a lot of pressure" on Malaysia's energy and water resources. For sure, data centres, especially the hyperscalers, bring in billions of investment dollars, but they come attached with a heavy price tag. Can we afford it? Only if the benefits outweigh the costs.

Jakarta's Asean Park plan faces pushback over Barito Market relocation
JAKARTA: The Jakarta administration's plan to relocate South Jakarta's Barito Market to make way for the proposed Asean Park has sparked strong opposition from a number of traders, who fear the move will cost them their livelihoods. Stretching across roughly 40m, Barito Market hosts 137 stalls, where traders sell everything from local delicacies to popular pets like cats, guinea pigs and red-eared sliders. The market sits along the same street as Langsat Park, a 3.6-hectare (ha) green space, and is just a short walk from Ayodia and Leuser parks; three public parks that now operate all day long as part of a citywide pilot to extend access to public spaces. Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung plans to merge the three parks into a single complex dubbed as Asean Park, named after the Asean headquarters located nearby, with better pedestrian areas, leading to the relocation of the market. The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) politician said the relocation is 'inevitable' to create a continuous green corridor connecting the three parks, arguing that the Barito Market sits on city-owned land. Pramono said that he had asked South Jakarta authorities to hold talks with traders and offered several relocation alternatives, with the authorities ultimately selecting Lenteng Agung, around 13km from Barito Market, as the new site. But 63-year-old Landri, head of the Barito Traders Association, said he had only heard vague mentions of the relocation proposal and had no idea what the new market in Lenteng Agung would look like, let alone being invited to take part in the discussions. 'Although we collectively reject the proposal, all of us hope that we could at least meet with government officials first,' Landri told The Jakarta Post on Monday. Landri is among the few veteran traders who have witnessed Barito Market's transformation firsthand. He recalls its early days in the late 1970s, when the area was packed with cart-pushing florists and fishmongers, slowly evolving into a more permanent hub with a loyal customer base. However, the market's history has not been without hardship. In 2008, a portion of the area was cleared to expand green spaces, resulting in the creation of what is now Ayodia Park. That move also drew protests from traders, many of whom said the relocation led to job losses. The city administration at the time, under then-governor Fauzi Bowo, relocated dozens of affected vendors to nearby markets. Despite lacking formal land titles, Landri and dozens of traders have managed to survive in Barito Market for decades. Landri has been selling caged birds since 1979, offering turtle doves, green leafbirds and lovebirds. Although business has struggled since the Covid-19 pandemic, he said earnings have recently become more stable. 'We are hoping that we can stay here. Relocating to other places would hurt our income, most of us don't have savings or a financial safety net,' he said. Another trader who declined to be named was more blunt, saying the proposal is 'no different from pushing us into unemployment'. Urban planner Yayat Supriatna from Trisakti University acknowledged that while the government has the legal right to reclaim the land, it also has a moral obligation to protect livelihoods. 'If the new site cannot provide economic certainty, then resistance to the relocation is understandable.' Meanwhile, the city administration believes the Asean Park could enhance Jakarta's global image by incorporating the Asean identity into its public spaces. The planned 6.2 ha park will connect Langsat, Ayodia and Leuser parks with jogging paths and shared public facilities. Construction is expected to begin in the second half of this year, but detailed plans remain unclear. Jakarta Parks and Forests Agency head M. Fajar Sauri was not immediately available for comment. - The Jakarta Post/ANN
