KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 -- Malaysia has invited Chinese enterprises to deepen cooperation with local companies in advanced digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), 5G applications and clean energy solutions as the country continues to strengthen its digital economy ecosystem. Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching said international collaboration remained a core driver of Malaysia’s digital economy growth and bilateral cooperation with China had continued to expand. “At the same time, Malaysia continues to welcome international collaboration as a core driver of our digital economy. We warmly invite Chinese enterprises to deepen cooperation with Malaysian counterparts in areas such as advanced digital technologies, artificial intelligence, 5G applications and clean energy solutions,” she said in her speech at the 2026 China Smart Industry Trade Exhibition here today. Also present were Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia Ouyang Yujing and China Entrepreneurs' Association in Malaysia (PUCM) president Datuk Keith Li. Teo said enterprises from both countries should leverage their complementary strengths and work closely together to further strengthen bilateral cooperation. “We encourage enterprises from both countries to learn from one another, leverage complementary strengths, and work in close partnership to further strengthen bilateral cooperation and deliver tangible benefits to our people,” she said. She said China had remained Malaysia’s largest trading partner for 17 consecutive years, with cooperation in smart technology and the digital economy growing from strength to strength. “Both nations share complementary strengths, with China bringing advanced tech innovation, while Malaysia offers a strategic ASEAN hub, digital infrastructure and a vibrant market,” she said. Teo also welcomed the establishment of the Malaysia-China Digital Economy Alliance, jointly promoted by PUCM, National Tech Association of Malaysia (PIKOM) and Silk Road Group. She added that the alliance would serve as a bridge to foster policy alignment, industrial synergy and innovation exchange, while accelerating the deployment of smart technologies and unlocking greater potential for bilateral and regional digital growth. -- BERNAMA

SUBANG JAYA, 12 May 2026 – Epson, the No.1 leader for Document Scanner in 2025 in terms of unit shipments, has introduced the WorkForce DS-530III, its latest A4 Duplex Sheet-fed colour scanner engineered to deliver faster, more reliable scanning for today’s digitised workplaces. Designed for performance-driven office environments, the DS-530III scanner combines high-speed scanning, intelligent document protection, daily performance capacity, and versatile media handling in a compact footprint. Faster performance for high-volume environments Measuring at 296 x 169 x 176 mm, the new DS-530III offers improved scan speeds of up to 40 pages per minute, or 80 images per minute, and a daily duty cycle of up to 6,500 pages. An automatic feeding mode also enables users to carry out batch scanning with continuous feeding of multiple pages, including documents of different sizes, to save within one singular digital file. Intelligent protection for consistent results Engineered for reliability, the DS-530III features Epson’s paper protection and double feed detection skip (DFDS) technology to detect abnormal feeds and handle documents with staples and extra folds or stickers without damage. The scanner is also equipped with a glass dirt detection feature, which notifies users when dirt is detected on the glass surface, reducing the hassle for a re-scan. User-friendly features for versatile media handling The DS-530III comes with an intuitive control panel and a customisable one‑touch scan button for easy access to essential scan functions and workflows. Equipped with a one-pass duplex scanning feature, it captures both sides of a document in a single pass, significantly reducing the time required for high-volume, double-sided scanning tasks. It also supports carrier sheets and includes automatic carrier sheet detection, making it simple to scan fragile or irregular-sized documents. Scanning accuracy is further improved by advanced ultrasonic sensor and length detection features, which can identify overlapping pages or long documents in real time, making scanning fuss-free and precise. Hybrid scanning with optional V39II flatbed dock For greater flexibility, the DS-530III can be paired with Epson Perfection V39II flatbed photo scanner via the optional flatbed dock. This hybrid configuration expands scanning versatility, enabling support for thicker materials like books and fragile documents such as receipts. With this integrated option, businesses can expand their scanning capabilities without compromising space, simplicity, or performance. Integrated software for seamless document management The DS-530III is supported by Epson Scan 2 and Document Capture Pro software for a more efficient scanning workflow. Epson Scan 2 improves image quality with advanced features such as text enhancement, skew correction and colour optimisation tools for accurate reproduction. The built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) enables searchable PDFs with password protection. Meanwhile, the Document Capture Pro allows users to easily create, name and separate files into different folders. It also automatically recognises barcodes and blank pages, and supports up to 30 customised scan settings to streamline repetitive tasks. “As organisations deepen their digital transformation and document management processes, they need scanning solutions that combine speed, performance, reliability, and flexibility,” said Alvin Tan, Managing Director, Epson Malaysia. “The WorkForce DS-530III expands our scanner lineup to better support the diverse needs of our customers. This is a reflection of Epson’s commitment to precision engineering and user-focused innovation, and as a trusted partner that helps businesses work smarter every day.” The DS-530III will be available for purchase in Malaysia from 1 April 2026.
