Malaysia leaps 5 rungs in World Bank rankings Posted: 19 Oct 2011 06:28 PM PDT 2011/10/20 By Rupa Damodaran news@nst.com.my KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia moved up five notches in the annual global ranking to become one of the top five economies in Asia on the ease of doing business, in a latest report issued by the World Bank. At the 18th position, it is now ahead of Germany (19th), Japan (20th), Taiwan (25th), Switzerland (26th) and France (29th), said the World Bank Doing Business Report for 2012. Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan, who is also co-chair of a high-powered taskforce to address bureaucracy issues, Pemudah, said the improvement showed that the reform measures implemented were beginning to show results. Over the last 24 months, various changes had been implemented in public sector agencies to simplify procedures and improve transparency and efficiency. Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir said the report followed closely that of the World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Index 2011-2012 where Malaysia also leapt to 21st position from 26th. "It seems to me that from the feedback of stakeholders, including the private sector, that the measures which have been taken to improve competitiveness and ease of doing business have shown apparent results," he said, when contacted in Jakarta. In its 2012 report, the World Bank, which tracks the ease of doing business in 183 territories, highlighted the lead Malaysia has taken in introducing electronic filing in its courts and the setting up of specialised civil and commercial courts. Also, Malaysia now ranked higher in terms of merging company, tax, social security and employment fund registrations at a one-stop centre for business start-ups. The World Bank also commended Malaysia as one of the 24 in the world to have regulatory reform committees reporting to the country head -- the prime minister. The improvement in rankings, added Sidek in a statement, also meant more work for both public and private sectors as there were new entrants into the ranking while other countries also sought to improve. "Much as we are happy that our measures are showing results with rankings higher than that of Germany, Japan, Taiwan or France, we still need to continue with our reform initiatives," Mukhriz said, adding that the challenge would be to sustain the ranking. "It is good to spar against the best. We must learn from their best practices, we have to be cognisant of the fact that we have to adapt from others to our situation." The report ranked Malaysia as fifth in Asia after Singapore (1st), Hong Kong (2nd), Korea (8th) and Thailand (17th). The World Bank based its ranking in 10 areas of business activity, ranging from starting a business to registering property, getting credit, import and export regulations and procedures, protecting investors, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. It noted that while Malaysia improved in six categories, there was a marginal deterioration in two areas that dealt with construction permits and paying taxes. On the construction permits, Mukhriz felt that the dip might be due to the many permits needed for projects to commence in Malaysia but it would be a matter of streamlining these permits through a one-stop centre. Chartered Taxation Institute Malaysia president S.M. Thaneermalai was surprised at the drop in rankings in taxes, saying that the world body could be referring to some broader sense of taxation. "With e-filing and being electronically connected to banks, tax collection has actually improved compared with three years ago," he said. Thaneermalai said red tape could be further cut with increased transparency in government agencies, especially on the rules for filling licences or tax deductions. Incentives to attract investors should also be expedited, especially those that provided more jobs for Malaysians. Sidek said the private sector needed to simplify procedures and reduce unnecessary bureaucracy to improve business efficiency as only then could the government fully realise the delivery system. Business associations and the legal profession also need to look at their work systems and procedures and identify the clogs in productivity. Full content generated by Get Full RSS.

Driver’s licence renewal based on birthday starts next month Posted: 19 Oct 2011 06:22 PM PDT Driver's licence renewal based on birthday starts next month 2011/10/20 By Hariz Mohd harizm@nst.com.my KUALA LUMPUR: The new driver's licence renewal date, which is based on one's date of birth, will take effect in mid-November, said Transport Minister Datuk Kong Cho Ha. The Road Transport Department, National Registration Department, Pos Malaysia and eKhidmat services are streamlining the mechanism ahead of its implementation. First mooted in July this year, the move is, in part, intended to help motorists better remember when their licences expire — forgetfulness often an excuse given whenever they are found with expired licences. Kong said in a statement yesterday that the renewal fee remains at RM20 annually for Class A, B and C, and RM30 for other classes. In the initial stages, the government will bear the cost of extending the expiry date of the licence to align it with the driver's birthday. For example, if a person's licence expires on Dec 30 and his birthday is on Feb 12, the government will pay for the extension of the licence until the latter date. However, the government will pay only if the period from the expiry date until the next birthday is less than six months. "If it is more than six months, the driver will pay half the normal annual licence fee," Kong said.

Sabah wants more KL-KK flights Posted: 19 Oct 2011 10:06 PM PDT KOTA KINABALU: Sabah hopes Malaysia Airlines (MAS) or AirAsia would add more flights between Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu following the termination of Firefly's services. State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun said Firefly, a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines Group, had contributed to the increased availability of seats resulting in an increase of 21 per cent in domestic arrivals in Sabah as of August. "There will be an impact on Sabah's domestic tourist arrivals in the short run. "But I believe airlines are in the business of making money and eventually, when they know there is demand, obviously it will make sense for them to add on more flights," he told reporters after opening a seminar on Sabah's prospects and retrospects after colonial rule here today. Masidi said the airline group needs to rationalise its operations in East Malaysia to ensure it does not lose more money. While hoping the matter could be resolved in order to meet increasing demand, he expressed gratitude that passengers can still choose to travel by either MAS or AirAsia. On Tuesday, the group said it had embarked on a network rationalisation programme with Firefly concentrating on short-haul turboprop operations and MAS focusing on its premium full-service offerings. The programme will be undertaken over a two-month period on a sector-by-sector basis, and will result in all Firefly jet aircraft being redeployed into MAS' operations by Dec 4, 2011. However, the group remains committed to Sabah and Sarawak and will continue to operate all services to Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. -- BERNAMA Full content generated by Get Full RSS.

<b>2 - 0</b> Posted: 14 Mar 2011 10:28 AM PDT 2010/11/04 Joniston Bangkuai, Patrick Sennyah and Sajahan Waheed news@nst.com.my KUALA LUMPUR: Substantive swings produced two key by-election victories for the Barisan Nasional tonight. BN has now won three of the four of by-elections this year, losing Sibu by 398 votes. In Kelantan, BN wrested the Galas State seat from Pas by a majority of 1,190 - improving its near-victory in the July 2009 Manik Urai by-election when the coalition lost by 65 votes. BN shall now look to repeat the kind of performance it produced in the 2004 general election when it won 21 state seats in Kelantan. As for now, Galas brings its state seats to 7 in a 45-seat Legislative Assembly. The Galas by-election was called following the death of Pas' Che Hashim Sulaima, 46, on Sept 27 from colon cancer. Che Sulaima had defeated BN's Mohd Saufi Deraman by a 646 vote-majority in the March 2008 general election. In the 2004 general election, Che Hashim had lost to Mohamad Saufi, by 1,729 votes. Significantly for Kelantan politics, the Galas battle had been billed as contest between BN's Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat, the Kelantan Menteri Besar and Pas spiritual leader. Analysts had said that a Pas defeat would be seen as a sign of Nik Aziz losing grip. He is 79 and had been Menteri Besar since 1990. "The face to face interaction adopted by BN has worked..this is a indicator of how BN can change," Prof Dr Sivamurugan Pandian of Universiti Sains Malaysia told the New Straits Times tonight. Pas had during the campaigning mocked Abdul Aziz Yusoff, the BN candidate for his lack of qualification. Dr Zulkefli Mohamed of Pas now has to his name three unsuccessful attempts to win seats in the Gua Musang area. The results of the nation's 12th by election since March 2008 were announced by returning officer Wan Mustapa Abdul Hamid at the Gua Musang Civic Centre here tonight. Many of Chinese voters in Galas had returned to BN, according to preliminary analysis of the results. Pas lost in Kampung Baru, which is a Chinese majority area by 41 votes. It garnered more than 200 over votes there in the general election. The BN election machinery which was led by Tengku Razaleigh, the Gua Musang MP, had adopted a new campaign strategy this time where they focused on a more personal approach as opposed to big scale ceramah and large entourages. Election Commission deputy chairman, Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said voter turnout was 82.71 per cent or 9,555 of the total 11,553 voters in the constituency, compared to a 80.57 per cent turnout in 2008. In Batu Sapi, the choice of a woman as a candidate and the joint-leadership of Datuk Seri Musa Aman and Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan of Parti Bersatu Sabah had contributed to the increase of majority from 3,708 (2008 general election) to 6,359, analysts said. "My husband is watching me now and I think he is proud of me," said the BN candidate, Datin Linda Tsen Thau Lin. Tsen's husband Datuk Edmund Chong was the late parliamentarian of Batu Sapi. His death on Oct 9 had led to the by-election. Full content generated by Get Full RSS.

UiTM student posts highest score in accounting course Posted: 10 Mar 2011 03:55 PM PST 2010/12/23 By Hanif Miswan SHAH ALAM: Few Malaysians can stake claim to being the best in the world, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) student Khalid Kamarulzaman is one of them. He was acclaimed the 'World's Best CAT Graduate' in the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) programme. The results were announced in October. The 19-year-old Faculty of Accountancy student scored the highest aggregate of 474 marks or an average of almost 95 per cent, for five advanced CAT papers. CAT is an international qualification offered by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the global body for professional accountants headquartered in the United Kingdom. The qualification provides the graduate with the necessary knowledge and skills in Finance and Accounting to perform an accounting-support role. It is also designed to fast-track students towards a full-fledged career in accountancy. Khalid achieved a perfect score in Drafting Financial Statements (T6) and came close in Managing People and Systems (T5) with 98 per cent. His marks in these two papers were the highest in the world. He also posted 97 per cent for Planning - Control and Performance Management (T7), 90 per cent for Preparing Taxation Computations (T9) and 89 per cent for Managing Finances (T10). "It was important for me to shine in this programme as it has placed me on the right path to achieving my dreams so I can help my less fortunate family," said Khalid in an interview with Varsity Voice on Nov 21. Although he expected to pass the CAT exams with flying colours, the outstanding results were "...a dream come true, and a tribute to my love for mathematics and numbers". The third son in a family of nine siblings from Hulu Langat, Selangor, Khalid has now set his sights on completing another 11 courses in the ACCA programme to become a chartered certified accountant. "CAT is only the first step. I intend to do just as well in the ACCA examination before gaining work experience and eventually opening up my own accountancy practice." "For now, I must be careful not to get too carried away as there is still a lot to learn and a long way to go before I can fulfill my aspirations," he added. The CAT programme was first offered by the faculty in 2002 to SPM graduates who had at least five credits, inclusive of Mathematics, Malay and English. Khalid was recognised as a top student during the Faculty's Excellence Day on Oct 6, during which he received an award from UiTM's Vice Chancellor Datuk Professor Dr Sahol Hamid Abu Bakar.

Hockey / TNB Cup: KLHC trounce Maybank Posted: 19 Oct 2011 05:25 PM PDT 2011/10/20 By Ajitpal Singh ajitpalsingh@nst.com.my Nabil Fiqri Mohd Noor (centre) celebrates scoring KLHC's second goal against Maybank in a TNB Cup match at the National Hockey Stadium yesterday. KLHC won 6-1. — Picture by Supian Ahmad DEFENDING champions Kuala Lumpur HC (KLHC) have virtually qualified for the TNB Cup final after a convincing 6-1 victory over Maybank in the semi-final first leg at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday. In the other match, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) hammered in four goals in the opening 15 minutes to beat Sapura 5-3. KLHC, led by nine national players, unleashed their fury by finding the back of the net six times with Nabil Fiqri Mohd Noor and Tengku Ahmad Tajuddi Abdul Jalil opening the floodgates in the 10th and 12th minutes. But Maybank's Hafifihafiz Hanafi reduced the deficit with a fine reverse stick goal in the 29th minute. Maybank's initial dominance in the second half turned into tatters as former international Chua Boon Huat added the third in the 43rd minute for a 3-1 lead. KLHC turned on the heat in the final 10 minutes with three goals through Muhd Amerullah Abd Aziz 961st), Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin (66th) and Ismail Abu (70th). "We went for early goals and scored two in the opening minutes which forced Maybank to ditch their defensive approach," said KLHC team manager George Koshy yesterday. "It is a good lead to take into the second leg but nothing can be considered a certainty as there are still 70 minutes to be played." RESULTS -- KLHC 6 Maybank 1, TNB 5 Sapura 3. FIXTURES -- Tomorrow: S-Finals (2nd leg): Sapura v TNB (6pm), Maybank v KLHC (8pm). -- Matches at the National Hockey Stadium (Pitch Two) in Bukit Jalil. Full content generated by Get Full RSS.

Rugby / World Cup: French pedigree can stop NZ Posted: 19 Oct 2011 04:57 PM PDT AUCKLAND: French rugby with its frequent brilliance, sporadic brutality and utter unpredictability has brought a romantic glow to the world game and complete misery to New Zealand at two World Cups. On current form the All Blacks should romp home in Sunday's World Cup final against France at Eden Park. History since France upset the All Blacks 3-0 in their first post-World War Two test warns against undue optimism on behalf of the home side. France defeated the All Blacks 43-31 after the most astonishing comeback in World Cup history in the 1999 semi-finals. Four years ago they prevailed 20-18 in the quarter-finals after they had been written off by most pundits before the match. "They are just ruthless and punch above their weight," former New Zealand number eight Zinzan Brooke told Reuters this week. "They have the flair and the ability to break defensive lines." Former England captain Will Carling said Wales, who were beaten by only a point by France in the quarter-finals despite playing for an hour with 14 men, had played "incredibly well" during the tournament. "But if the All Blacks were playing Wales they would be more relaxed," he said. "France are the one northern hemisphere side which has no issues playing against New Zealand and they can beat them. "They are the one side that can humiliate you, if they are in the mood and you let them play they will rip you to pieces." Ian Borthwick, a New Zealand journalist who reports on rugby for French sports newspaper L'Equipe, said New Zealanders and Anglo-Saxons in general did not understand the French. "The French are something exotic, the All Blacks are rational," he said. "The French have got something the All Blacks can't control." After the 1999 loss at Twickenhan the New Zealand stock market slumped, a university offered grief counselling to students and baggage handlers at Auckland airport wrote "Losers" across the team's bags on their return. New Zealand head coach Graham Henry, who was controversially reappointed along with his coaching team after the loss in Cardiff, said this week the 2007 match had been "bizarre". "That game caused some people a lot of pain," he said. "It was the most bizarre game that I have ever been involved in. But we won't define bizarre, not totally anyway, so there is a lot of history here." New Zealand backs coach Wayne Smith said his coaching philosophy had been influenced by the French approach during his time as a player and a coach in Italy. "We come from a very analytical background, we teach the game analytically, whereas they are the other end of the spectrum -- movement on the field, game sense, playing with the ball and believing that you develop your skills and your technique through understanding the game," he said. "That was a massive learning curve for me." France were beaten by the All Blacks and Tonga in the pool stages then rallied to eliminate England in the quarter-finals before struggling against Wales. There were reports of disarray in the camp and some provocative criticisms from coach Marc Lievremont before he announced a rapprochement with his players yesterday. None of this will matter for a team who can play like clowns one week then like rugby gods the next. "They have been winning ugly, but winning ugly is okay," Brooke said. "They have shown glimpses and I think they are going to show a lot more. "Can the French beat the All Blacks? Yeah, they can." -- Reuters Full content generated by Get Full RSS.

Ringgit falls on slow export concern Posted: 19 Oct 2011 07:08 PM PDT Malaysia's ringgit fell after a report of a split among European leaders on a plan to resolve the region's debt crisis dimmed the outlook for the global economy. Government bonds rose by the most in almost two weeks. Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, who chairs the group of euro-area finance ministers, said an impromptu meeting of European leaders in Frankfurt last night failed to resolve differences. The Federal Reserve said yesterday U.S. companies reported more doubt about the strength of the economic recovery. The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index of regional stocks dropped 0.9 percent. "There's no progress in Europe's rescue fund talks," said Akira Banno, a treasury adviser at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ in Kuala Lumpur. "Export growth may slow because of the deteriorating outlook for the global economy." The ringgit weakened 0.5 percent to 3.1225 per dollar as of 9:32 a.m. in Kuala Lumpur, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It strengthened 0.9 percent yesterday, the biggest advance since Oct. 10. The currency has climbed 2.3 percent so far this month after slumping 7 percent in September, the worst monthly loss since June 1998. Malaysia's exports grew at the fastest pace in four months in August, rising 10.9 percent from a year earlier after gaining 7.1 percent in July, the trade ministry reported Oct. 7. "Overall economic activity continued to expand in September, although many districts described the pace of growth as 'modest' or 'slight,'" the Fed said in its Beige Book survey released yesterday in Washington. "Contacts generally noted weaker or less certain outlooks for business conditions." The yield on the 3.434 percent notes due August 2014 dropped six basis points, or 0.06 percentage point, to 3.13 percent, according to Bursa Malaysia. -- Bloomberg Full content generated by Get Full RSS.

TUPPERWARE PARTY Posted: 18 Oct 2011 10:16 AM PDT 2011/10/18 By Sim Bak Heng The two-day Tupperware Carnival in Danga City Mall was a weekend of charity, games and knowledge-sharing IT was a weekend of charity, games and sharing of knowledge at the Tupperware Carnival held at the EXPO at the Danga City Mall in Johor Baru recently. The two-day carnival featured health checks, beauty tips, and pointers for healthy living and space conservation. Outside the EXPO, a stage was set up for the demonstration of the latest products and games. Participants had to use Tupperware products as tools in their games and winners were rewarded with Tupperware products as prizes. There was a sale on water containers near the entrance to the carnival. Proceeds from the sale were channeled to charitable organisations. The Play For Charity zone offered attractive Tupperware products as prizes for those who wanted to try their luck. The ticket for each game was RM2 and proceeds went to the Tupperware Children's Fund. Visitors had plenty of fun playing the games and winning prizes. There was a booth that demonstrated how an untidy kitchen could be neatened using the company's products. Tupperware Brands Malaysia Sdn Bhd marketing director Christine Wong said maximising the use of space is important today as kitchens are getting smaller. "More often than not, households have messy kitchens as there are too many things to store, but there is insufficient storage space. "During the carnival, we taught the public how to transform an untidy kitchen into a tidy one, where there is no need to waste time looking for items," she said. Another booth showed visitors how to maximise the use of space inside a refrigerator. Using Tupperware's latest product line, called the Freezer Mates, containers of various designs and sizes were used to store different types of items inside a refrigerator's freezer. Visitors were impressed with the products' designs, which provide maximum airflow to ensure faster freezing and thawing. For those who were health conscious, the next booth showcased food supplements with samples for the public. There were also free blood pressure and BMI checks. Other booths featured skincare products and the Nano Nature Water Filtration System. Another section highlighted past corporate social responsibility projects organised by the Tupperware company over the years. The latest project raised RM270,000 for the Japan Quake and Tsunami Fund from sales of Tupperware products. The Tupperchef corner demonstrated the use of cookware. At the centre of the EXPO was a cylindrical tunnel with a mural of clear water flowing on the walls and floor. This structure was a prelude to the demonstration of the water filtration system marketed by the company. Wong said the idea for the carnival was to create awareness of Tupperware's range of products, including products which were friendly to the environment, such as their Eco Bottles. "This is the first time we are hosting a carnival in Johor Baru. The response is overwhelming and we look forward to coming here again next year," she said. Full content generated by Get Full RSS.

Get Bollywood attire here Posted: 18 Oct 2011 06:56 AM PDT 2011/10/18 By Chuah Bee Kim PLANNING to go to a Bollywood-themed party but do not know what to wear? Why not check out JMF Tailor on Level Two of the Plaza Seni in Johor Baru where one can have a traditional costume ready-made, custom-made or on a rental basis. Sales manager Hameda Abdul Rahman said there is a big demand for saree and Punjabi suits as many corporate functions have chosen Bollywood as its theme. "As customers only want to wear the costume once, some would rather rent a costume for RM50 or RM100, instead of having one tailor-made," Hameda said. She said orders for custom-made Punjabi suits, jubah, baju kurung and evening dresses are still pouring in, although there are many ready-made attire in the market. "In fact, we can no longer accept orders for the Deepavali celebrations next month. "This is because orders have been coming in since last month," she said. The boutique, which opened for business in 2006, also sells tudung, costume jewellery and fabrics from Pakistan and India. JMF has two tailors, Shahid Saleem, 46, with more than 10 years of tailoring experience, and Mohd Salim Rashid, 26, with six years of experience. Shahid, who designs some of the clothes, was trained as an embroiderer. "When I joined the boutique, I was employed to do embroidery. "But when the tailor suddenly left, my employer asked me to take over his job. "The customers liked my work and that was how I became a tailor," said Shahid. The boutique operates from 9.30am to 8pm from Mondays to Saturdays, and from 10am to 4.30pm on Sundays. For enquiries, call 07-222 5586. Full content generated by Get Full RSS.
