Solar Technology Use Expected To Increase In Selangor – Exco

SHAH ALAM, June 23 -- The Selangor state government expects solar energy usage in the state to rise following the launch of the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Solar ATAP) on Jan 1, supporting its shift towards green energy. State Environment and Public Health Committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin said the outlook is also driven by an increase in companies offering no-upfront-cost installation schemes, which could attract more people to install the technology at their premises. “The Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) also maintains a list of companies offering such services on its website under the ‘Registered Solar PV Investor (RPVI) Directory. “With such methods, there will be no additional cost burden on building owners, and in fact savings can be achieved through the energy generated from the solar power system,” she said when winding up the debate on the Selangor Resilience Strengthening Package in the State Legislative Assembly today. Jamaliah said that, based on SEDA data under the Government Net Energy Metering (NEM Gomen) programme, 70 government buildings, including local authorities, are registered under the scheme. She said the figure represented a total installed capacity of 5.69 megawatts (MW), with 2.23MW generated from the State Secretary’s Building and district and land offices in Selangor. “The private sector has generated 392.97MW under the Net Energy Metering (NEM) scheme, according to SEDA Malaysia data, spanning commercial, industrial and agricultural users. “In addition, there were also private sector players generating solar electricity for self-consumption without selling it back to the TNB (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) grid,” she said. Jamaliah said the state is implementing the Government Green Energy (GGE) project in partnership with TNB Renewables Sdn. Bhd and Worldwide Holdings Berhad, aimed at increasing solar energy use in government facilities via a solar farm in Hulu Bernam. “The GGE project is expected to produce up to 100MW of capacity and is targeted to be commissioned by 2028, subject to final agreements and regulatory approvals. “The project is expected to boost renewable energy use in state government operations, reduce dependence on conventional power supply and support carbon reduction efforts under the state’s low-carbon agenda,” she added. -- BERNAMA

NRES To Fully Cooperate With MACC Over Elephant Transfer To Japan Probe – Arthur

PUTRAJAYA, June 23 -- The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES) will provide full cooperation to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) regarding the investigation into the transfer of three Asian elephants, known as Dara, Amoi, and Kelat (DAK), from Taiping Zoo to Tennoji Zoo in Osaka, Japan. Minister of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Datuk Seri Arthur Joseph Kurup said the ministry has taken note of the ongoing investigation and reaffirmed its commitment to the principles of transparency, accountability, and the rule of law in every aspect of the country's wildlife management. “NRES is prepared to provide full and comprehensive cooperation to the authorities throughout the course of this investigation to ensure that the investigative process is completed thoroughly and transparently,” he said in a statement today. Arthur said the ministry would not compromise or shield any party if any misconduct, irregularities, or breaches of procedure in relation to the transfer are proven. He added that this stance is important to safeguard the integrity of institutions and the country's reputation at the international level. Yesterday, the MACC confirmed that it had opened an investigation into the transfer of DAK following allegations of leakages and irregularities in the process. On June 18, wildlife rights group Hak Asasi Hidupan Liar Malaysia (Hidup) called on the MACC to investigate the transfer of the three elephants. The organisation also alleged that certain payments related to the transfer were not channelled to the government and linked several individuals to transactions estimated to be worth RM53 million. -- BERNAMA

JKNCR: No ‘Backdoor’ Entry In IPTA, Admissions Strictly Based On Merit

PUTRAJAYA, June 22 -- The Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Rectors of Public Universities (JKNCR) today stressed that public higher learning institutions have never engaged in the practice of selling admission slots or providing entry through the “backdoor” to any party. In a statement today, JKNCR dismissed a politician’s claim as baseless, saying that it had indirectly cast doubt on the integrity of the student admission system and the credibility of the country’s higher education institutions. “Admissions to public universities are always subject to academic requirements, merit, programme capacity, accreditation requirements and approval from the relevant university authorities,” the statement said. Earlier, the media reported that a state assemblyman had claimed that public universities provide “backdoor” entry to unqualified individuals who are able to pay full fees. JKNCR explained that public universities have increased their intake capacity for subsidised mainstream students annually, as reflected in the steady increase in offers to Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) holders and bachelor’s degree students over the past three years. Data shows that the number of offers rose from 79,646 in the 2023/2024 academic session to 79,845 in 2024/2025 and further increased to 88,102 in 2025/2026. “This continuous increase proves that the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) is always expanding access to public higher education and not reducing it as claimed,” the statement said. On claims that the open channel constitutes a “backdoor”, JKNCR stressed that the allegation was unfounded, saying admission to public universities is not limited to the UPUOnline platform, but also involves various structured admission initiatives based on programme regulations and requirements. JKNCR said the initiative was implemented based on provisions under the Malaysia Education Development Plan (Higher Education), PPPM (PT) 2015-2025, Fifth Shift: Financial Sustainability. “This initiative enables public universities to cover rising costs by offering full-fee academic programmes. As a result, they are able to offer places to students, appoint contract lecturers, improve teaching and learning facilities, and enhance other support facilities. “The MOHE has stipulated that intake through this channel must not, in any way, reduce the number of places allocated under the established primary admission channel,” the statement said. JKNCR also rejected claims that underprivileged groups are denied the opportunity to pursue studies at public universities, stressing that the country’s higher education access policy always gives special attention to students from low-income families. “This commitment is reflected in substantial government funding, with tuition fees at public universities subsidised by up to 95 per cent, ensuring that financial constraints are no longer a barrier to pursuing knowledge “Based on official data on admissions for the 2025/2026 academic session, 79.75 per cent of the 88,102 students who accepted offers for bachelor’s degree programmes through UPUOnline are from low-income families,” according to the statement. Regarding claims that students with low merit were accepted because they paid full fees without subsidies, JKNCR explained that financial ability is not a basis for admission to public universities, as all students must meet the minimum academic requirements set. “Entry requirements for professional and critical programmes such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, accounting, law and education are stricter, as they are subject to professional body standards and accreditation requirements. “The quality of these programmes is consistently maintained through regular monitoring by professional bodies and continuous review by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) to ensure that the country’s higher education standards remain at the highest level,” the statement said. JKNCR said that the MOHE, together with public university management, is always proactive in assisting underprivileged students, with 493 welfare incentives totalling more than RM115 million provided last year and this year, including early registration assistance, SULUNG aid, early admission assistance, university zakat assistance, student welfare funds, scholarships and bursaries. In addition, the committee said the ministry has instructed all public universities to be flexible in accepting underprivileged students, allowing advance registration and deferment of registration fees where necessary. --BERNAMA

SPAN Probing Fatal Incident Involving Worker At Saujana 1 Water Tower

PUTRAJAYA, June 23 -- The National Water Services Commission (SPAN) is conducting investigations into a fatal accident involving a maintenance worker at the Saujana 1 water tower in Kuala Selangor on June 16. In a statement today, the commission said any party found to have failed to comply with required procedures, including Air Selangor or a SPAN permit holder, would face appropriate action. Any infringement of the Water Services Industry Act 2006 (Act 655) or relevant subsidiary legislation will be subject to appropriate action, SPAN said. “SPAN's checks found that the contractor responsible for the cleaning or maintenance works was registered with the commission and held a valid permit. “Initial findings suggest there may have been non-compliance with confined-space safety procedures, including workers entering the site without approval and prior to safety verification. “However, the determination of the actual cause will be subject to the official probe and final report issued by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH),” read the statement. SPAN said it views the incident with utmost seriousness, given that it resulted in a loss of life. The commission said it received information on the incident on June 17 and visited the site the following day, adding that routine water tank cleaning was conducted on June 16 by the appointed vendor.  “During the incident, the water level in the tank was said to be at waist level, with two workers encountering difficulties near a 200mm scour point. “One of them was rescued, while the other was reported to have become trapped in the area,” it said, adding that emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was administered, but the victim was confirmed dead before being taken to UiTM Hospital for a post-mortem examination. “The initial cause of death was identified as drowning. DOSH conducted a site inspection on June 17, 2026, and issued a prohibition notice. A joint follow-up visit was carried out on June 18 June by SPAN, Air Selangor and DOSH to establish the cause of the incident. “DOSH said the final report would be published after the conclusion of the formal investigation. Safety and health in the workplace remain the primary priority during maintenance work to prevent similar incidents in the future,” it said. SPAN said further enhancements would be prioritised to strengthen adherence to safety protocols, confined-space work supervision, contractor management and on-site risk control. Media reports cited that a Universiti Putra Malaysia student on industrial training died while carrying out maintenance work at the Saujana Perdana water tower tank, with drowning confirmed as the cause of death. -- BERNAMA

Messi Sets World Cup Scoring Record With 18th Tournament Goal

ISTANBUL, June 23 -- Lionel Messi became the outright leading scorer in World Cup history with his 18th tournament goal after scoring twice in reigning champions Argentina's 2-0 victory over Austria on Monday, Anadolu Ajansi reported. Messi opened the scoring in the 38th minute after failing to convert an early penalty, with his left-footed attempt in the ninth minute drifting just wide of the right post. The Argentina captain sealed the win deep into stoppage time, netting his second goal in the fifth minute of added time (90+5) to extend his all-time World Cup scoring record to 18 goals. The brace also extended Messi's scoring run to six consecutive World Cup matches, equalling an achievement previously reached by France's Just Fontaine and Brazil's Jairzinho. Messi had matched Germany's Miroslav Klose on 16 goals after netting a hat-trick in Argentina's 3-0 Group J win over Algeria last week in Kansas City. His two goals against Austria moved him clear at the top of the tournament's all-time scoring chart. Monday's match also marked Messi's FIFA-record 28th World Cup appearance and his sixth tournament overall. -- BERNAMA-ANADOLU

KuCoin Australia MD James Pinch at DECON 2026: Exchanges Are Becoming the Infrastructure Behind Everyday Commerce

SYDNEY, June 23 -- James Pinch, Managing Director of KuCoin in Australia, was invited to speak at Digital Economy Conference (DECON) 2026 in Sydney, joining Ashima Chaudhary, Vice President at Mastercard Australia, for a fireside chat titled "From Programmable Money to Everyday Commerce: Unlocking the Next Payment Era." Moderated by Yasmine Amani, Head of Account Management at Banking Circle, the session explored how fiat, cards, stablecoins and digital assets are converging through multi-rail infrastructure to support the next phase of global commerce.  Representing KuCoin, Pinch shared how exchanges are evolving beyond trading platforms into infrastructure providers connecting liquidity, payments, and stablecoins to real-world utility. Drawing from nearly two decades of experience in financial services and digital assets, he noted that KuCoin's approach in Australia reflects a broader global strategy: building responsibly within evolving regulatory frameworks while connecting KuCoin's global product suite with the licensing, compliance and operating standards required in each market. Pinch noted that the launch of KuCard in Australia reflects the ongoing evolution of digital asset adoption. For eligible users, KuCard enables supported crypto assets to be used more seamlessly for everyday spending through Mastercard's global network, delivering a familiar payment experience while helping integrate digital assets into established consumer payment habits. "Crypto does not succeed by remaining just an investment; it succeeds by morphing to also encompass other real world use cases like payment methods. Our role is to build an ecosystem where people talk about the technology less and simply use it for everyday life - like paying for coffee or bills - just as they do with a traditional bank card today," said Pinch. The discussion also addressed trust, compliance, security and consumer protection as core requirements for mainstream adoption. Pinch emphasized that as digital assets become more embedded within the broader financial system, strong governance, regulatory engagement and resilient infrastructure will remain essential to building long-term trust. He also highlighted KuCoin's significant investment in highly skilled cybersecurity and infrastructure expertise, noting that protecting users and maintaining resilient systems must remain a top priority for major platforms, as it does for KuCoin. Looking ahead, Pinch said artificial intelligence will be one of the key forces shaping the next stage of digital finance, particularly as commerce, payments and financial decision-making become increasingly automated. He pointed to KuCoin's ongoing investment in crypto-native AI initiatives, saying, "When we look at an e-commerce business now, anyone can buy a domain, anyone can set up a website, and they can find a supplier. Where we start to see this fall apart is when we look at the payment function of this automation. It is not possible or at least very difficult to automate around fiat banking for this purpose, as it incurs delays and a range of other challenges, this is where KuCoin plays a unique role in this adaptation of disruptive technology." Which is exactly what KuCoin has taken on, designing systems that support how users, developers and intelligent agents access market intelligence, on-chain information and crypto capabilities. Pinch concluded that over the next three to five years, crypto payments may become less visible as a technology and more natural as a financial behaviour, with KuCard truly leading the way. "KuCard as a product, I think we talk about it less, right? If you think about just a typical card payment, no one talks about using the card and how they have a CBA card or how it's a Mastercard. They just pay for a coffee, they pay the bills, whatever it may be. And we might abbreviate it when it comes to crypto, but we'll stop talking about it, "said Pinch. About KuCoin Founded in 2017, KuCoin is a leading global crypto platform built on trust and security, serving over 40 million users across 200+ countries and regions. Known for its reliability and user-first approach, the platform combines advanced technology, deep liquidity, and strong security safeguards to deliver a seamless trading experience.
