KUALA LUMPUR, 26 June 2026 - Jobstreet by SEEK honoured Malaysia’s leading employers and HR leaders at the SEEK People & Purpose Awards (SPPA) 2026, recognising organisations that are creating meaningful workplace cultures and setting new benchmarks for employee experience, wellbeing and organisational excellence. Held under the theme, “Where Work and Purpose Meet: Recognising Workplaces Malaysians Grow With”, the annual awards celebrate employers that successfully bring together people, growth and purpose to create workplaces where employees feel valued, supported and empowered to succeed. Building on the success of previous years, the SEEK People & Purpose Awards 2026 recognises organisations and leaders that are setting new benchmarks for workplace excellence through people-first practices, purposeful growth and measurable impact. The awards recognise excellence across three pillars: Top-Voted Employers Awards: Recognising organisations that have earned the trust and endorsement of working Malaysians through a nationwide public voting exercise conducted in partnership with Ipsos Malaysia. SEEK People & Purpose Excellence Awards: Celebrating organisations that have demonstrated outstanding employer brand and hiring performance based on market and platform data. Submission Award Categories: Honouring organisations and leaders that are driving meaningful impact through people-focused strategies and workplace practices, including: Best Employee Development Program: Recognising organisations that invest    in employee growth, learning and future-ready skills. Best Sustainable HR Practices: Celebrating employers that balance business success with employee wellbeing and long-term workforce sustainability. Best Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Awards: Recognising organisations that foster equitable opportunities and inclusive workplace cultures. Employer of the Year: Honouring organisations that demonstrate excellence across the employee experience, from leadership and culture to people development. The People Leader of the Year: Recognising leaders who have championed transformative people practices and delivered lasting organisational impact.    Together, these awards celebrate organisations that are creating workplaces where people feel valued, supported and empowered to grow. The awards come at a time when employers are facing growing pressure to attract and retain talent amid evolving workforce expectations.  According to Jobstreet by SEEK’s Workplace Happiness Index, purpose is now the strongest driver of workplace happiness among Malaysians, ranking ahead of compensation, flexibility and career progression. The research also found that while 70% of Malaysians report being happy at work, nearly one in three workers remain neutral or unhappy. At the same time, 41% of employees say they feel burnt out or exhausted by their jobs, while only 36% are satisfied with their stress levels. Importantly, employees who feel happy at work are three times more likely to go above and beyond in their roles and are significantly less likely to consider leaving their employer, highlighting the direct connection between employee experience and organisational performance.        demonstrating that great workplaces are built through intentional and sustained investment in people,” said Nicholas Lam, Managing Director of Jobstreet by SEEK Malaysia. “Whether it is developing future-ready talent, fostering inclusive cultures, supporting employee wellbeing or empowering leaders to bring out the best in their teams, these organisations understand that people are at the heart of business success. Their achievements show that creating meaningful employee experiences is not only beneficial for employees, but also strengthens organisational resilience, innovation and long-term growth.” Unlike many other employer awards, the SEEK People & Purpose Awards evaluate organisations through a holistic framework that combines public voting, independent judging and market performance, recognising employers not only for their intentions but also for the measurable impact of their workplace practices. As workforce expectations continue to evolve, the SEEK People & Purpose Awards celebrate employers that are redefining what great workplaces look like — proving that when people, growth and purpose come together, both employees and businesses thrive.

PETALING JAYA, June 25 (Bernama) -- LG Electronics Malaysia has expanded its LG Subscribe retail network to 130 branded stores nationwide, strengthening its leadership in the country’s home appliance subscription market, amid growing consumer demand for flexible alternatives to conventional ownership. The latest outlet in Sunway Pyramid here marks the company’s 130th LG Subscribe Brand Store since the subscription programme was introduced with a single kiosk in 2019. LG Electronics Malaysia managing director Justin Choi said the milestone underscored the confidence Malaysians have placed in LG Subscribe and the company’s commitment to making premium home living more flexible and accessible. “When we set out on this journey, we believed that Malaysians deserved a smarter way to experience the best technology in their homes -- not bound by the cost of ownership, but supported by ongoing care and service. This milestone tells us we were right and it drives us to go further,” he said at the launch of the company’s latest LG Subscribe Brand Store here today. According to him, the network now spans 58 locations in Central Malaysia, 29 in the northern region, 23 in the southern region, 15 in Sabah and Sarawak, and five in the East Coast, making it the country’s largest branded home appliance subscription retail network. Each brand store features a dedicated Maintenance Service Zone where customers can learn about after-sales care, filter replacement and routine servicing, while store associates also conduct digital engagement initiatives, including TikTok Live sessions during off-peak hours, to complement customers’ in-store experience. In conjunction with the latest store opening, LG also launched its Filter Drop Campaign, which encourages subscribers to return used water and air filters at any LG Subscribe Brand Store for responsible disposal. Participants will receive complimentary gifts as part of the initiative, which aims to reduce improper waste disposal while promoting sustainable after-sales practices. Choi noted the campaign forms part of LG’s broader sustainability strategy, with its subscription model designed to support consumers throughout an appliance’s lifecycle through energy-efficient technologies, maintenance services and responsible disposal practices. “Following our Future Vision 2030, we are transforming LG into a Smart Life Solution Company that connects and enhances customer experiences not just through products, but through the entire lifecycle of living with them. “From the energy an appliance consumes while running, to what becomes of its components when they are spent, LG’s commitment to sustainability runs the full length of the ownership journey. That is what it means to stay present long after the appliance is installed,” he said. Meanwhile, LG Marketing general manager Sam Hoo said the expansion from a single kiosk to 130 branded stores within seven years demonstrated the increasing acceptance of subscription-based home appliance solutions among Malaysian consumers. Hoo said LG Subscribe currently offers more than 60 stock keeping units (SKUs) across 15 product categories, including water purifiers, air purifiers, residential air conditioners (RAC), refrigerators, washing machines and the LG WashTower. Among the programme’s most popular products are water purifiers and air purifiers, while residential air conditioners have also continued to record strong demand. Hoo said Sunway Pyramid was selected as the location for the 130th brand store because of its strong shopper traffic and customer profile, which closely matches LG Subscribe’s target market. Asked how LG differentiates itself from competitors offering similar subscription services, she said the company combines the country’s largest subscription store network with one of the widest product portfolios in the market and flexible maintenance options tailored to customers’ preferences. According to her, customers can choose between self-service and professional maintenance throughout subscription periods of up to seven years, while benefiting from LG’s energy-efficient inverter-driven technologies that help reduce electricity consumption and lower long-term operating costs. -- BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR, JUNE 26 -- The ringgit opened slightly lower against the United States (US) dollar on Friday following stronger-than-expected US economic data that strengthened the country's currency. However, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz increased risk appetite among investors, thus limiting the depreciation of the ringgit. At 8am, the local currency fell to 4.1170/1270 against the US dollar from 4.1160/1200 at yesterday's close. The US reported first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 2.1 percent, beating consensus expectations of 1.6 percent, while the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation rate for May recorded 4.1 percent, in line with market expectations. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd Chief Economist Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the US Dollar Index (DXY) fell 0.18 per cent to 101.431 points after the PCE data was announced, reflecting that consumer spending growth in the US was still weak. Therefore, the strengthening of the US dollar is expected to be difficult to maintain, especially in the context of lower crude oil prices following the 60-day period agreed for peace agreement negotiations between the US and Iran, he said. At the opening of trading, the ringgit traded lower against major currency groups. The ringgit weakened against the British pound to 5.4295/4427 from 5.4261/4314 at yesterday's close, fell against the euro to 4.6777/6891 from 4.6762/6807 and eased against the Japanese yen to 2.5445/5508 from 2.5437/5464 previously. The local currency, on the other hand, traded almost unchanged against regional currencies. The ringgit was unchanged against the Singapore dollar at 3.1742/1824 from 3.1742/1775 at yesterday's close, flat against the Indonesian rupiah at 229.4/230.1 from 229.4/229.7 and flat against the Philippine peso at 6.71/6.73 from 6.71/6.72 previously. However, the ringgit eased against the Thai baht to 12.3245/3618 from 12.3370/3538 previously. -- BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR, JUNE 25 -- The government, in collaboration with the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC), remains committed to developing a comprehensive Islamic finance ecosystem to attract investors, especially from Russia, to invest in the Islamic finance sector in Malaysia. The Ministry of Finance said the SC has spearheaded several cross-border strategic initiatives, including a planned exploratory visit to the Central Asian region in 2026 or 2027 under the internationalisation agenda of the Islamic capital market (PMI). It aims to assess market readiness, strengthen stakeholder networks and develop an Islamic finance ecosystem that connects Malaysia with the region, including Russia. According to the ministry, Malaysia also has the opportunity to expand the export of sharia expertise following the interest shown by the Head of the Republic of Tatarstan in May 2025 to adopt Malaysia's Islamic finance development model. "This opportunity includes the provision of professional services such as sharia advisory services, consulting, training and capacity building. "The effort was supported through a series of bilateral meetings held by the SC with the Central Bank of Russia and The Saint Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange (SPIMEX) in 2023 and 2025," he said in a written reply on the Dewan Rakyat website, on Wednesday. The ministry was responding to a question from Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal (PN-Machang) regarding the government's concrete steps to encourage investors from Russia to invest in the Islamic finance sector in Malaysia in an effort to strengthen Malaysia's position as a global Islamic finance hub and attract foreign capital flows based on sharia principles. In addition, the Ministry of Finance announced that the SC will continue to strengthen Malaysia's competitiveness through strengthening the regulatory framework, product innovation and expanding international cooperation, under the Capital Markets Master Plan 2026–2030 (CMP 2026–2030). He said the government always welcomes legitimate and productive investments from Russia, subject to domestic laws and relevant international standards. "Overall, Malaysia's proactive approach not only aims to attract foreign capital flows, but also acts as a bridge connecting Russian investors with global markets in a sustainable, transparent and inclusive financial ecosystem in line with the principles of Maqasid al-Syariah," he said. -- BERNAMA

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. KuCoin provides access to 1,500+ digital assets through a broad product suite and remains committed to building transparent, compliant, and user-centric digital asset infrastructure for the future of finance, backed by SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certifications. In recent years, KuCoin has built a strong global compliance foundation, marked by key milestones including AUSTRAC registration in Australia, a MiCA license in Europe, and regulatory progress in other markets.
