10,000 Malaysian Smes Listed on Alibaba Platform Malaysia May Be 10,000 Malaysian SMEs Listed on Alibaba Platform 10,000 Malaysian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are listed on international marketing technology platform Alibaba, said International Trade and Industry Minister Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed. Mustapa said the listing of the SMEs, under the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation’s (Matrade) e-commerce scheme, could help them penetrate overseas markets. “This is an instance of economic cooperation between Malaysia and China, and is expected to benefit SMEs in the country,” he said at the Ministers’ Question Time session at the Dewan Rakyat yesterday. He was replying to Datuk Nawawi Ahmad (BN-Langkawi), who wanted to know the investment, trade and employment benefits to Malaysia from the recent trade mission to China that reportedly brought investments worth RM144 billion into the country. To a supplementary question from Takiyuddin Hassan (PAS-Kota Bharu) on Malaysia’s stand and the status of the Trans- Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) after Donald Trump’s victory in the US Presidential election, Mustapa expressed hope the US would not make drastic changes to the trade pact. “We read his (Trump’s) previous statement on this as rather harsh, but we see that he has changed his views on several issues. We hope this will also happen with the TPPA. We believe the US as a trading nation will not change its policies much. There will definitely be policy changes, but they will not be so radical,” he said. The TPPA will also be included in the agenda for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting to be held in Peru soon, he added. Bernama, 11 November 2016 Malaysia May Be Affected if TPP Collapses, Trade Minister Says Malaysia may be affected if the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) were to be discontinued following Donald Trump’s victory in Tuesday’s US presidential election. A study conducted by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) found that the TPP would help boost Malaysia’s gross domestic product, revenue and job creation, its minister, Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed said. He said another study conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) projected that one million jobs would be created in the country within 10 years after the TPP’s ratification, which was set for 2018. “If there is no TPPA (TPP Agreement), then those would not be generated,” he told reporters after delivering a keynote address at the Australian Business Asia Conference organised by the Malaysia Australia Business Council (MABC), here today. Mustapa said Malaysia remained committed to the agreement, and would discuss the trade pact at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Peru in two weeks’ time. “For now, it’s too early to say what will happen, but we are monitoring the development and we are talking to our colleagues from 11 other countries,” he said. Twelve countries—the US, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia — concluded the TPP negotiations in Atlanta on Oct 5 last year and signed the trade deal in Auckland on Feb 4 this year. The TPP is a free-trade agreement that has been negotiated as part of the larger Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership since 2010. In his speech, Mustapa said Australian and Malaysian businessmen should explore doing business together and penetrate into third world countries. “Malaysia has a big presence in Australia and they are also an important investor here like LendLease, the biggest developer in Australia. Their presence here reflect their confidence in the Malaysian economy and we hope this will open the doors for more Aussie companies to Malaysia,” said Mustapa. In 2015, total trade and investments between Australia and Malaysia stood at US$16 billion (RM68.1 billion).

  • SUMBANGAN TOKOH DALAM BIDANG PENDIDIKAN ISLAM Dato
    BAB IV HASIL SUMBANGAN TOKOH 1- SUMBANGAN TOKOH DALAM BIDANG PENDIDIKAN ISLAM Dato Syeikh Abdul Halim bin Haji Othman sememangnya amat terkenal dan sangat harum namanya di dalam bidang pendidikan Islam di zamannya. Ini adalah kerana beliau banyak membuat pembaharuan di dalam bidang pendidikan Islam ini. Beliau juga adalah seorang yang sangat berani melakukan perubahan terhadap pendidikan Islam di negeri Kedah terutamanya di Maktab Mahmud dengan menambah subjek- subjek akademik ke dalam sistem kurikulumnya yang tidak pernah dilakukan oleh sesiapa pun jua di zamannya pada ketika itu walaupun digelarkan sekolah itu adalah sekolah sekular ataupun duniawi. 212 Walaupun beliau ditohmah dan disindir oleh kawan-kawan seperjuangan di zamannya itu, namun beliau sedikitpun tidak mempedulikannya. Beliau terus mengorak langkahnya tanpa menoleh ke belakang lagi dengan mengatur perancangan serta strateginya untuk tetap memodenkan Maktab Mahmud sesuai dengan aspirasi zamannya ketika itu serta tuntutan pada masa akan datang.213 212 Abdul Majid bin Mohd Noor, bekas Mufti dan Mursyid Di Raja Kedah, Temubual pada 25 November 2009. 213Ghazali bin Yaacob, Setiausaha Zakat Negeri Kedah, Temubual pada 29 November 2009. 114 1.1 Membawa Pembaharuan Dalam Sistem Pendidikan Di Maktab Mahmud Masyarakat Islam di negeri Kedah dan sekitarnya mengetahui bahawa sekolah Maktab Mahmud ini adalah sekolah yang beraliran agama maka, seluruh silibus dan subjeknya akan menjurus ke arah itu dengan memberi penekanan yang sangat lengkap dari awal hingga ke hujungnya dari kecil ataupun besar. Namun begitu apabila peralihan tampuk kepimpinan diambil alih oleh Dato Syeikh Abdul Halim maka pembaharuan dilakukan oleh beliau. Matapelajaran di Maktab Mahmud pula bukan lagi tertumpu kepada bahasa Arab sahaja, akan tetapi Dato Syeikh Abdul Halim telah memperkenalkan matapelajaran akademik lain seperti ilmu hisab, ilmu alam, geometri dan algebra ke dalam silibus sebagai tambahan kepada subjek yang sedia ada serta diajar dan dipelajari dalam bahasa Arab.

  • ABSTRAK Pembangunan Pelancongan Di Langkawi
    ABSTRAK Pembangunan pelancongan di Langkawi berkembang pesat bermula pertengahan tahun 80-an. Kerajaan telah memberi tumpuan terhadap usaha membangunkan pulau berkenaan menjadi sebuah pulau peranginan yang terkenal di dunia dengan memperkenalkan Dasar Bebas Cukai pada tahun 1987. Seterusnya kerajaan telah memperkenalkan pelbagai dasar yang lain dalam usaha menarik lebih ramai kemasukan pelancong dan merancakkan lagi industri pelancongan di Langkawi. Walaubagaimanapun, kepesatan pembangunan yang berlaku telah meninggalkan kesan yang positif dan sebaliknya terhadap perkembangan sektor pelancongan pulau tersebut juga terhadap perkembangan sosial-ekonomi penduduknya. Kajian ini menfokuskan kepada dasar dan strategi perlaksanaan pembangunan pelancongan di Pulau Langkawi, Kedah dan analisisnya dari perspektif ekonomi Islam. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah penyelidikan kualitatif dalam pengumpulan data dan maklumat serta menggunakan kaedah komparatif dalam membuat perbandingan antara perlaksanaan dasar dan strategi pembangunan pelancongan di Langkawi dengan pembangunan pelancongan yang di cadangkan dalam Islam. Akhirnya, kajian ini mendapati beberapa aspek dalam pembangunan pelancongan di Langkawi masih wujud ketidakselarasan dengan kehendak yang disarankan dalam Islam. Cadangan penambahbaikan dikemukan bersama kajian ini dalam usaha membangunan sektor pelancongan bercirikan Islam. Seterusnya ia dapat dijadikan contoh pelopor dalam membangunkan bidang pelancongan Islam tersebut. i ABSTRACT Tourism industry in Langkawi started to expand in the

    Headline Calls made for political appointees in GLCs, GLICs to step down MediaTitle The Malaysian Reserve Date 18 Aug 2021 Language English Circulation 12,000 Readership 36,000 Section Corporate Malaysia Page No 1,4 ArticleSize 394 cm² Journalist AFIQ AZIZ & ASILA JALIL PR Value RM 8,307 Calls made for political appointees in GLCs, GLICs to step down by AFIQ AZIZ & ASILA JALIL MORE calls have been made for political appointees at government-linked companies (GLCs) and government-linked investment companies (GLICs) during the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration to vacate their posts. University Malaya professor of political economy Prof Dr Edmund Terence Gomez said the companies need to run effectively, especially as the nation is facing serious eco- nomic and health crises. "When you make political appointments, GLCs will tend to lose their direction. "All these political appointees that are highly 'questionable' should all step down immediately if he or she was appointed by the previous government," he told The Malay- sian Reserve (TMR) yesterday. He said their resignation would not have a detrimental effect on the companies as there are still managers of the institutions that can manage the operations. Besides GLCs, and GLICs, Gomez high- lighted the same should apply to statutory bodies, listed and unlisted companies, as well as universities that have political appoin- tees at their top posts. He added that appointments made at foundations that have control over such institutions should also be scrutinised to ensure the structure is clear of all politically- motivated interests. "Board of directors are at the highest deci- sion-making level, they control professional managers.

  • Menyatakan Memandangkan Pada Masa Ini, Ikan Yang Ditangkap Oleh
    SOALAN NO: 7 PARLIMEN MALAYSIA PEMBERITAHU PERTANYAAN DEWAN RAKYAT PERTANYAAN Bertulis DARIPADA Dato' lr. Haji Nawawi bin Ahmad [ Langkawi ] SO ALAN Dato' lr. Haji Nawawi bin Ahmad [ Langkawi ] minta MENTER! PERTANIAN DAN INDUSTRI ASAS TANI menyatakan memandangkan pada masa ini, ikan yang ditangkap oleh nelayan Pulau Langkawi yang mana ikan tersebut hendak dihantar ke luar, contohnya ke Kuala Kedah, akan dihantar melalui kargo yang perjalanannya mengambil masa 2 hari. lni akan menyebabkan harga ikan akan jatuh dan tak dapat dijual dengan harga mahal. Adakah Kementerian akan bercadang berkerjasama dengan Kementerian Pengangkutan bagi membolehkan ikan tersebut dihantar melalui feri penumpang dengan syarat ikan tersebut dibungkus dengan elok. JAWAPAN Tuan Yang Dipertua, Kementerian Pertanian dan lndustri Asas Tani sentiasa bekerjasama dengan pihak Jabatan Laut Malaysia mengenai isu-isu yang melibatkan pengangkutan di laut. Mulai tahun 2014, pihak Jabatan Laut Malaysia telah menghentikan kebenaran penghantaran bekalan hasil laut menggunakan pengangkutan feri kerana barangan hasil laut tidak dibungkus dengan kemas dan tidak mengikut piawaian serta mengeluarkan bau yang boleh mengganggu keselesaan penumpang. Kementerian dan Pertanian dan lndustri Asas Tani melalui Lembaga Kemajuan lkan Malaysia (LKIM) telah berbincang dengan pihak Jabatan Laut Malaysia mengenai perkara ini dan bersedia untuk berbincang dengan lebih lanjut bersama Kementerian Pengangkutan bagi mencari jalan penyelesaian yang terbaik. Pada masa ini, bekalan ikan di Pulau Langkawi adalah mencukupi bagi keperluan penduduk Langkawi. Namun, lebihan bekalan hanya berlaku mengikut musim tertentu sahaja. Oleh yang demikian, sebagai langkah penyelesaian sementara, nelayan yang menghadapi lebihan ini disyorkan supaya mendaratkan terus ikan sama ada di Kuala Perlis atau Kuala Kedah. :I PEMBERITAHUAN PERTANYAAN DEWAN RAKYAT MALAYSIA BERTULIS DATO' IR.

  • Muka Baru Ganti Pemimpin Kanan (Berita Harian 13/03/2004)
    13/03/2004 Muka baru ganti pemimpin kanan KUALA LUMPUR: Hampir semua muka baru dicalonkan Barisan Nasional (BN) bagi mengisi kerusi yang dikosongkan bekas pemimpin tertinggi parti, termasuk di Parlimen Kubang Pasu yang diwakili Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad selama enam penggal. Datuk Johari Baharom - Setiausaha Politik Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, diberi penghormatan untuk bertanding di Kubang Pasu pada pilihan raya umum 21 Mac ini. Johari yang juga Ketua Penaja Umno Bahagian Kubang Pasu, akan berhadapan dengan Dr Abdul Isa Ismail juga muka baru yang mewakili Pas. Kerusi Parlimen Merbok yang disandang bekas Menteri Kewangan, Tun Daim Zainuddin pula akan ditandingi oleh Penasihat Media di Kementerian Penerangan, Datuk Zainuddin Maidin, Bekas Timbalan Menteri Penerangan itu akan berhadapan dengan Saiful Izham Ramli juga muka baru dari Keadilan. Tempat bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tun Ghafar Baba di Parlimen Bukit Katil, Melaka (dulu Batu Berendam) juga digantikan dengan muka baru, Datuk Prof Dr Mohd Ryddin Abdul Ghani. Seorang lagi muka baru, Nawawi Ahmad, mengambil tempat bekas Menteri Besar Kedah, Tan Sri Sanusi Junid, di kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Kuah.

Bekas Presiden MCA, Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik, juga tidak akan mempertahankan kerusi Parlimen Labis di Johor dan tempatnya diganti oleh Pengerusi MCA Johor, Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek, yang juga bekas Exco Pelancongan dan Alam Sekitar negeri.

  • Ketua Pengarah Kastam Disebut Bakal Calon (Berita Harian 09/03/2004)
    09/03/2004 Ketua Pengarah Kastam disebut bakal calon LANGKAWI: Semakin ramai pegawai kanan kerajaan mula dikaitkan sebagai calon pada pilihan raya umum kali ini, terbaru Ketua Pengarah Kastam Diraja Malaysia, Tan Sri Abdul Halil Mutalib yang disebut-sebut sebagai calon bagi mengisi sama ada kerusi Parlimen Langkawi atau satu daripada dua kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN). Bekas Menteri Besar Kedah, Tan Sri Sanusi Junid, juga dikatakan mahu kembali mempertahankan kerusi DUN Kuah yang dimenanginya pada 1999. Abdul Halil tidak asing bagi penduduk Langkawi kerana pernah berkhidmat sebagai pengurus besar Lembaga Pembangunan Langkawi (Lada) selama 10 tahun, manakala Sanusi turut berperanan penting dalam pembangunan Langkawi. Selain Datuk Abu Bakar Taib yang menyandang kerusi Parlimen Langkawi dan Datuk Md Hassan Bulat (DUN Padang Matsirat, kini Ayer Hangat), Ketua Pemuda Umno yang juga Naib Ketua Umno Bahagian, Nawawi Ahmad juga menjadi sebutan. Kemunculan Sanusi yang lebih kerap pada beberapa majlis di Langkawi juga mengukuhkan spekulasi yang beliau sekali lagi akan dipilih sama ada mempertahankan kerusinya di peringkat DUN atau beralih ke Parlimen. Tahun lalu, Abdul Halil ketika berucap pada satu majlis berbuka puasa di Kuarters Kastam Kuah, memberitahu beliau tidak berminat untuk menyertai politik. Walau siapa saja dicalonkan, bagi penduduk Langkawi mereka pastinya sudah lama menetapkan pendirian untuk memilih Barisan Nasional (BN) berdasarkan komitmen kerajaan dalam memajukan pulau ini sebagai destinasi pelancongan terunggul negara. Abu Bakar yang juga Setiausaha Parlimen Kementerian Pertanian berkata, daripada sebuah perkampungan nelayan yang ketandusan pembangunan, Langkawi kini memiliki segala kemudahan serba lengkap. Malah, katanya, pembangunan pesat di Langkawi yang sehingga kini menjadi pusat persidangan dan sukan bertaraf antarabangsa mungkin dicemburui penduduk kawasan lain yang sudah lama maju.
