The ringgit opened stronger against the United States (US) dollar and other major currencies on Friday, supported by easing geopolitical tensions in West Asia and Malaysia's improving macroeconomic prospects. At 8am, the local currency rose to 3.9550/9645 against the US dollar at 3.9595/9630 at Thursday's close. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd Chief Economist, Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid, said optimism that the US and Iran would reach an amicable solution continued to increase. He said that West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude oil prices decreased by 1.49 percent and 2.32 percent to US$97.79 per barrel and US$102.58 per barrel, respectively. "According to Iranian news agencies, Tehran is examining a proposal from the US which is seen as likely to bridge some of the differences between the two parties," he told Bernama. He also said the ringgit is expected to continue to be in a better position following Malaysia's positive macroeconomic backdrop, particularly when the current account surplus increases to 3.0 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 0.5 percent in the previous quarter. "In addition, the government's fiscal position continues to improve with the fiscal deficit narrowing to RM17.1 billion or 3.3 percent of GDP in the first quarter of 2026 compared to RM21.9 billion or 4.5 percent of GDP in the same period in 2025." "Therefore, the ringgit is expected to remain strongly supported at around RM3.95 to RM3.96 against the US dollar today," he said. At the opening of trading, the ringgit traded higher against a basket of major currencies. The local currency rose against the British pound to 5.3120/3247 from 5.3220/3267 at Thursday's close, strengthened against the euro to 4.5945/6056 from 4.6037/6078 previously and rose against the Japanese yen to 2.4866/4928 from 2.4906/4929. The ringgit is also trading higher against regional currencies. It strengthened against the Singapore dollar to 3.0949/1026 from 3.0967/0997 previously and rose against the Thai baht to 12.1286/1648 from 12.1304/1468. The local currency also appreciated against the Indonesian rupiah to 223.8/224.5 from 224.1/224.4 previously and increased against the Philippine peso to 6.42/6.44 from 6.43/6.44 previously. -- BERNAMA

JOHOR BAHRU, May 26 -- The Johor Road Transport Department (JPJ) issued 1,987 P (22) notices for various traffic offences during the first two days of the 2026 Hari Raya Aidiladha Special Operation, which began on May 24 and is scheduled to end on May 31. Its director Zulkarnain Yasin said enforcement action was taken in accordance with the Road Transport Act 1987 and related regulations. He said among the offences recorded were not having a Motor Vehicle Licence, with 402 notices issued, not possessing a Competent Driving Licence (410 notices), technical offences (393), no insurance coverage (342 notices), and major offences (145). “The major offences included not wearing a seat belt, which topped the list with 51 notices, followed by not wearing a helmet (36 notices) and carrying excessive load (18 notices),” he said in a statement today. He added that during the same period, a total of 17,236 vehicles were inspected, with eight motorcycles, 15 cars and eight staff buses impounded as they were deemed unsafe or unfit to be on the road. Meanwhile, Zulkarnain said statistical analysis found that public awareness of the Perception of Being Caught (POBC), or the probability of being caught committing an offence, had increased by 93 per cent over the first two days of the operation. According to him, the operation was carried out to strengthen law enforcement, with continuous monitoring at accident blackspots across all districts to ensure the smooth and safe movement of road users. He also said the operation was conducted to ensure compliance with road laws remained at an optimal level, in addition to raising awareness of safety aspects and responsibilities among road users. --BERNAMA

HONG KONG, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CodeCoin, a cross-border payment infrastructure provider, has been awarded the "Tech Innovation Growth Enterprise" honor at the 9th World Finance Forum Annual Conference. The recognition reflects growing industry acknowledgment of CodeCoin's compliance-first approach to digital payments, and signals that regulated digital payment tools are emerging as a pillar of next-generation cross-border payment infrastructure. CodeCoin, a cross-border payment infrastructure provider, has been awarded the “Tech Innovation Growth Enterprise” honor at the 9th World Finance Forum Annual Conference. CodeCoin, a cross-border payment infrastructure provider, has been awarded the “Tech Innovation Growth Enterprise” honor at the 9th World Finance Forum Annual Conference. The conference, themed "In Search of a New Anchor for Stability and Growth," brought together senior policymakers and financial leaders. Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee delivered a video address. Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui and Deputy Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Darryl Chan attended in person, alongside Zhu Guangyao, Chief Advisor of the World Finance Forum and BRICS Think Tank. Discussions centered on shifts in the global economic and financial landscape, Hong Kong's role as an international financial center, and the architecture of next-generation cross-border payment systems. Speaking at the conference, CodeCoin CEO Huang Jianbin said: "As demand for cross-border trade settlements and overseas payments continues to grow, the market is setting a higher bar for next-generation cross-border payment infrastructure. The new infrastructure must not only move money faster, but also establish more reliable and compliant connections in an increasingly complex international environment. We believe compliant digital payment tools will become a key direction in upgrading cross-border payment infrastructure." Huang identified persistent structural friction in traditional cross-border payments — high transaction fees, extended settlement cycles, multi-layered intermediaries and limited service hours — as the core problem that next-generation infrastructure must solve. He argued that the market requires a new payment layer that is more efficient, transparent, auditable and fully compliant. Compared to the delays and costs imposed by multi-tier correspondent banking and cross-timezone clearing, compliant digital payment tools can reduce friction through peer-to-peer settlement networks and end-to-end traceability. Huang further projected that 2026 to 2028 will be a critical window for building this infrastructure layer. "The payment systems of the future will not only serve people and businesses — they will also serve AI agents, autonomous vehicles and intelligent devices," he said. "Payment infrastructure must evolve from serving humans alone to simultaneously serving both humans and machines. Our 'Ark-level' secure payment system is designed precisely for this reality: enabling capital to move fast and arrive safely in complex environments, providing a reliable payment backbone for the next generation of economic activity where humans and machines participate side by side," he added. This outlook is grounded in a broader technological shift. As AI agents move beyond processing information to actively procuring computing resources, purchasing services, triggering contracts and completing settlements autonomously, payment systems must expand their design scope from human users and enterprises to intelligent agents. American entrepreneur Elon Musk's recent characterization of Neuralink's brain-computer interface capabilities as "Jesus-level miracles" has drawn wider attention to how deeply intelligent systems are beginning to reshape economic activity — a shift that CodeCoin sees as directly relevant to payment infrastructure design. To address this emerging reality, CodeCoin has built an "Ark-level" secure payment system across four dimensions. First, post-quantum encryption technology strengthens the system's security resilience against future changes in the computational environment. Second, multi-jurisdiction compliance licensing establishes verifiable institutional trust across different regulatory frameworks. Third, a full-scenario payment loop covers merchants, e-commerce platforms, multinational enterprises, traditional financial institutions and future AI agents. Fourth, an AI-native payment protocol incorporates intelligent agent invocation, settlement and audit requirements from the architectural design stage — ensuring the payment infrastructure keeps pace with AI-driven economic activity while balancing efficiency, compliance and security. Regulatory clarity is increasingly becoming a prerequisite for the cross-border digital payments industry. In his address, Secretary Hui said: "As technology reshapes payments, investment and financial intermediation, jurisdictions that can combine innovation with clear regulation will have an advantage." Huang sees Hong Kong's role evolving alongside this regulatory shift. "Hong Kong has long served as a 'super-connector' linking Eastern and Western capital," he said. "In the era of compliant digital payments, Hong Kong has the opportunity to become something more: a 'compliant transit hub' within the global digital financial network — a place where capital does not merely pass through, but completes regulatory confirmation under a clear supervisory framework." In line with this direction, CodeCoin is building cross-border payment infrastructure that spans issuance, circulation, payment, settlement and redemption, with compliance capabilities integrated at every layer. The company's risk management framework operates across three dimensions: at the KYC (Know Your Customer) level, verifying customer identity, tracing the source of funds and assessing risk profiles; at the KYT (Know Your Transaction) level, monitoring transaction volumes, flows and counterparties to identify anomalous activity; and at the KYA (Know Your Address) level, screening, tracing and rating addresses for risk. Building on this compliance foundation, CodeCoin provides multi-currency cross-border payment and clearing services to merchants, e-commerce platforms, multinational enterprises, traditional financial institutions and future AI agents. About CodeCoin CodeCoin is a next-generation cross-border payment infrastructure provider. Operating under a core strategy of licensed operation and end-to-end compliance, the company builds a global multi-license network and delivers secure, efficient, and cost-effective multi-currency cross-border payment and settlement services for businesses and individuals through proprietary digital payment technology. CodeCoin's core technical team traces its roots to the original WeChat Pay team, who built the mobile payment service into a global infrastructure that covers more than 70 countries and over 1 billion users. The company is now applying this proven expertise to the digital payments space, with the mission to build the next-generation global payment network. Source: CodeCoin

ZHUHAI, China, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Huepar, a global brand of precision measuring tools trusted by contractors, builders, and DIY pros, today announced the launch of the newly upgraded Huepar App, the software backbone of the Huepar Tools ecosystem. The app moves far beyond its original role as a simple remote, turning affordable Huepar hardware into a connected, professional-grade workflow — from measurement to deliverable. One App, Nearly 30 Devices The Huepar App now supports almost 30 devices across five categories: laser levels, laser distance meters, digital angle gauges, rotary lasers, and motorized bases. For the first time, a single phone replaces the stack of remotes that used to crowd a tool belt. Crews can wake a leveled laser from sleep without climbing a ladder, trigger a tripod-mounted distance meter without shaking the laser point, and command a motorized base — all from one screen. Remote control here is more than convenience: it protects the hard-won millimeter-level accuracy of every setup. Point-to-Point Measurement on Entry-Level Hardware A standout capability, Point-to-Point (P2P), measures the distance between any two points in space — the diagonal from a wall corner to a ceiling fixture, the gap between a pendant light and an outlet, or any two points on different planes. Traditionally, this required premium laser distance meters with built-in tilt sensors. Huepar's solution uses the phone's own motion tracking to compute the spatial angle, allowing budget Huepar meters without tilt sensors to perform the same task. In internal testing, the app's angle calculation often produced a smaller total error than professional-grade meters. Layout, Guided by Vibration The new Layout function turns a tedious manual process into a guided walk. Users see live on-screen direction — which way to move, how much distance is left — to find evenly spaced points (for example, a mark every 20 inches). Because the distance meter stays fixed while the user walks, the laser never shakes. Haptic feedback signals "approaching" and "arrived," letting users keep their eyes on the wall instead of the phone. Capture, Annotate, and Deliver The app closes the loop from measurement to deliverable. Every reading is saved automatically and organized by date, project, room, or client — no more scattered numbers across notes apps and chat threads. Users can snap a jobsite photo, drag measurement lines onto the image, drop in door and window components, and label key dimensions. Finished sketches export as high-resolution images, ready to share with teammates or insert into project documents. Built on a New Foundation The release ships on a fully rebuilt architecture that resolves prior performance and compatibility issues. macOS has completed technical validation; Windows and large-screen versions are in progress. The team is actively developing cloud sync, AR measurement, and CAD file conversion. "Good tools should not be locked behind a high price tag," said Xiaopeng, the lead developer, Huepar. "With the new Huepar App, an entry-level meter in the user's hand can do what once required professional-grade equipment." The Huepar App is available now as a free download on the App Store and Google Play. Users without a Huepar device can still try the guided measurement and canvas tools. About Huepar Huepar designs and manufactures precision measuring tools — including laser levels, laser distance meters, rotary lasers, digital angle gauges, and motorized bases — for contractors, builders, and DIY professionals worldwide. The Huepar Tools ecosystem combines accessible hardware with the Huepar App to put professional-level jobsite capabilities within reach of every user. Learn more at https://huepar.com/.
