PM ANWAR URGES KEADILAN TERENGGANU TO STRENGTHEN GRASSROOTS, DEFEND PEOPLE’S WELFARE

KUALA TERENGGANU, 14 APRIL -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said his meeting with leaders and members of KEADILAN Terengganu yesterday served as a crucial platform to evaluate the party’s reform-driven struggle and reinforce its commitment to defending the people, particularly the poor and marginalized. He stressed that justice must go beyond rhetoric, calling for a more impactful approach grounded in facts, service, and sincerity. Anwar noted that the party’s past achievements have demonstrated its capabilities, and urged members to rebuild that strength by ensuring every area in Terengganu is well-organised and given proper attention. He called on leaders and members across all branches to strengthen party organisation, intensify grassroots efforts, and actively engage with the people by clearly explaining MADANI Government policies. “The people deserve to know the truth and must not be misled by slander or narrow political narratives,” he said. Anwar also cautioned against divisive politics driven by empty sentiments, urging KEADILAN to remain a voice of hope that upholds values of courtesy while offering practical solutions for the future. He expressed confidence that with strong determination, unity, and disciplined efforts, the party would once again emerge as a key force championing the welfare and aspirations of the people of Terengganu and the nation. -- Minutes MY / Igneseous Noris -- Credit: PM Anwar Ibrahim

Kamet Capital Hosts 2026 Market Outlook Luncheon, Marking First Large-Scale In-Person Gathering in Nine Years

SINGAPORE, April 8, 2026 -- Kamet Capital, a Singapore-based multi-single-family office, hosted its 2026 Market Outlook Luncheon on February 22, bringing together ultra-high-net-worth families, fund investors and portfolio company founders for discussions on the 2026 market environment, asset allocation opportunities and key sector trends such as AI and healthcare. As Kamet's first large-scale in-person gathering in nine years, the luncheon reflected the firm's expanding client base, growing presence as one of the region's leading family offices and evolving capability to meet clients' demands for high-quality insights, meaningful dialogue and network access. "Kamet was established in 2017. We stayed low-key for years and usually engaged with families in a more private setting," said Kerry Goh, founder, CEO and CIO of Kamet Capital. "This year, in response to interest from many new clients, we organized our first large-scale in-person gathering, reflecting our willingness to engage more openly with a broader group of investors. But we will keep our original principles to build long-term trust." A Framework-Driven Outlook for 2026 At the event, Kamet shared that its outlook is based on a systematic assessment of macro conditions, policy factors and valuations, rather than short-term market fluctuations. Many of the most important data points only become clear in early February. That is why it typically publishes the assessment by then. This year's theme centered on how investors can make decisions that remain resilient amid heightened volatility and increasing market divergence. Kamet specifically highlighted its high-conviction (and non-consensus) views that precious metals had topped out in early February with high odds of a considerable pullback in the short term. It also shared the long-term de-dollarization theme but found the recent USD weakness appeared overdone. In March, these views had largely played out, with gold prices correcting and USD strength reasserting itself. On equities, while Kamet remained constructive on both U.S. and Hong Kong SAR markets, heightened geopolitical tensions had led to increased volatility in the near term. "In today's complicated market environment, our investment decisions adopt a disciplined, framework-driven approach designed to filter out short-term market noise," said Chong Sze King, Head of Portfolio Management of Kamet. "Our framework focuses on key drivers and, more importantly, on the specific conditions within these drivers. As long as these underlying conditions remain intact, we do not allow market fluctuations or headline-driven sentiment to dictate portfolio positioning. This approach enables us to remain aligned with our core investment principles while identifying selective opportunities across major markets and helping clients navigate uncertainty with a long-term, resilient portfolio strategy." Growth in 2025 and Looking Ahead The event also highlighted Kamet's progress in 2025, with a growing number of ultra-high-net-worth families and fund investors, expanded office space, and the continued development of differentiated investment solutions. Kamet received positive client feedback on its Income-Optimizer Portfolio strategy launched last year, reflecting continued interest in resilient solutions. This year, Kamet will launch its put-write strategy through the Kamet Put Option Premium Fund, expanding its investment offerings in response to demand for strategies designed for a more volatile market environment. Featured speakers from Kamet's investee companies, Jensen Wu, founder and CEO of Topview, and Wai Mun Lim, founder and CEO of Doctor Anywhere, also shared sector insights on AI and healthcare, adding broader industry perspectives to the day's discussions. Kamet noted that AI remains a key area of interest for investors, but access to high-quality opportunities depends on trusted networks, strong sector understanding and close collaboration with founders and partners. Through Kamet's Founders Network, it aims to help clients gain earlier visibility into emerging themes and selective opportunities in sectors with limited access. Kamet also continues to support innovation through its broader role as a long-term strategic partner to emerging companies and founders. /PRNewswire/

Government Moves to Strengthen Bumiputera Economic Resilience Amid Global Uncertainty

KUALA LUMPUR — The government is stepping up efforts to strengthen the resilience of the Bumiputera economy in response to ongoing global uncertainties, through a series of strategic measures and immediate actions. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the matter was discussed during the Steering Committee Meeting of the Bumiputera Economic Council (MEB) No. 1/2026, which he chaired earlier today. He noted that the meeting focused on ensuring the Bumiputera economy remains resilient and continues to grow despite current economic challenges. “To achieve this, three key actions have been identified for immediate implementation,” he said. The first involves conducting a comprehensive assessment across critical sectors to better understand the real impact on the ground. Secondly, the government will introduce targeted interventions, including more flexible financing options, cost-related incentives, and efforts to strengthen local supply chains to support Bumiputera businesses. The third measure emphasizes firm and accountable execution without delay, supported by close monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of all initiatives. At the same time, PM Anwar Ibrahim stressed that long-term strategies must not be overlooked. These include accelerating digitalisation, empowering young entrepreneurs, and expanding into new markets to enhance competitiveness and self-reliance. He expressed confidence that with well-coordinated planning and strong collaboration among all stakeholders, the Bumiputera economy will remain robust and well-prepared to face future challenges. --Minutes MY / Igneseous Noris --Photo: FB Zahid Hamidi
