Publication preserves industry knowledge, while RM300,000 grant to INCEIF University supports future research and innovation

KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- RHB Islamic Bank Berhad ("RHB Islamic" or "the Bank") is strengthening its commitment to advancing knowledge, research and thought leadership in Islamic finance with the publication of Charting Progress Together – Malaysia's Islamic Finance Through the Years. Developed in collaboration with INCEIF University, the book captures key developments that have shaped Malaysia's Islamic finance industry.

The book is the first publication under the RHB Islamic Insight series and features 24 selected articles originally published between 2012 and 2021. Written by RHB Islamic practitioners, the articles provide insights into the industry’s growth and transformation, covering topics such as Islamic banking and finance, capital markets, Shariah governance and Islamic social finance.

The articles also reflect a transformative period in the industry's development, marked by the growing adoption of fintech, the introduction of Value-Based Intermediation (“VBI”), evolving Shariah standards and governance frameworks, and a growing emphasis on sustainability and social impact in financial services.

Dato’ Adissadikin Ali, Managing Director of RHB Islamic Bank Berhad said, "Malaysia's Islamic finance industry has grown through the collective efforts of regulators, financial institutions, scholars and industry practitioners across generations. Over the past two decades, RHB Islamic has been part of this journey, and this publication reflects our commitment to preserving valuable insights gained along the way and making them more accessible to those who will continue shaping its future.”

"While preserving what we have learned is important, generating new ideas is equally vital. This is why we are also investing in research to support the next chapter of Malaysia's Islamic finance industry. We believe continued collaboration between academia and practitioners will be key to developing fresh perspectives that respond to the Islamic finance industry’s evolving needs," added Dato’ Adissadikin Ali.

RHB Islamic will provide a RM300,000 grant to INCEIF University to support research aimed at strengthening Malaysia’s Islamic finance ecosystem. The grant reflects a shared commitment between academia and practitioners to advance research and deepen understanding in ways that foster innovation and sustainable growth across the nation’s Islamic finance industry.

Bank Negara Malaysia has identified research, talent development and knowledge-sharing as key priorities for supporting the future growth of the Islamic finance industry and reinforcing Malaysia's position as a global leader in Islamic finance. RHB Islamic's publication and research collaboration contribute to these national priorities by strengthening knowledge development and industry-academia collaboration.

RHB Islamic remains committed to supporting the long-term development of Malaysia's Islamic finance ecosystem through knowledge development, research and industry collaboration, in line with the Bank’s strategy to create sustainable social impact through education and knowledge empowerment.

Air Selangor Pioneers Sustainable Water Financing with the issuance of the World’s First Blue Sukuk and Malaysia’s First Blue Bond/Sukuk Issuance

KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 (Bernama) -- Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (“Air Selangor”) has successfully priced the world’s first Blue Sukuk and Malaysia’s first Blue Bond/Sukuk issuance (“Blue SRI Sukuk Kelestarian” or “Blue Sukuk”) of RM200.0 million in nominal value to be issued pursuant to its RM20.0 billion Islamic Medium Term Notes Programme.

The landmark issuance, which has a 15-year tenor, represents a significant milestone in the evolution of sustainable water financing in the Malaysian capital market and reflects Air Selangor’s commitment to mobilising sustainable financing to support projects that deliver measurable environmental impact. CIMB Investment Bank Berhad (“CIMB”) acted as Sole Sustainability Structuring Adviser and Sole Lead Manager for the transaction, supporting Air Selangor in enhancing its Framework and facilitating the successful execution of the issuance.

Accordingly, the issuance supports blue finance — an emerging segment of sustainable finance that channels investment towards sustainable management, protection, restoration and efficient utilisation of water resources and water-related ecosystems, while supporting long-term water security, climate resilience, pollution prevention and environmental sustainability outcomes. This is also aligned with Air Selangor's commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, through initiatives that promote sustainable water resource management and strengthen water security for the communities it serves.

Adam Saffian Ghazali, Chief Executive Officer of Air Selangor said “We recognise that building resilient water infrastructure requires long-term investment supported by sustainable financing. This world’s first Blue Sukuk reflects our commitment to advancing innovative financing solutions that strengthen water security, protect natural resources and create long-term value for the communities we serve.”

As both the world’s first Blue Sukuk issuance and Malaysia’s first Blue Bond/Sukuk issuance, it establishes an important precedent for blue labelled financing instruments in Malaysia’s debt capital market and demonstrates how sustainable financing can strengthen essential water infrastructure.

Nor Masliza Sulaiman, Chief Executive Officer of CIMB Investment Bank said, “CIMB is pleased to have played a key role in the successful issuance and to have advised Air Selangor on the enhancement of its Sustainable Development Sukuk Kelestarian Framework. This milestone demonstrates CIMB’s strength not only as a capital markets arranger, but as a trusted sustainability partner capable of delivering end-to-end advisory in innovative sustainable finance solutions. We hope this landmark issuance will accelerate the adoption of blue finance across Malaysia and the region, supporting greater mobilisation of capital towards water security, environmental resilience and sustainable development.”

The Blue Sukuk is structured under Air Selangor’s revised Sustainable Development Sukuk Kelestarian Framework Version 2.0 (“Framework”), reinforcing the company's long-term commitment to integrating sustainability into its financing strategy. The Framework aligns with the International Capital Market Association’s (ICMA) Green Bond Principles 2025, Social Bond Principles 2025 and Sustainability Bond Guidelines 2021, and integrates IFC’s Guidelines for Blue Finance Version 2.0. The Framework also includes expanded eligibility to support blue, green, social and sustainability Sukuk issuances under a single platform.

Key enhancements made to the Framework include the introduction of Blue Sukuk to finance sustainable water and wastewater management, resource protection and long-term water security. The Framework also expands the number of eligible project categories from four to eight, covering climate adaptation, energy efficiency, clean transportation and social initiatives.

To reinforce the credibility of the Framework, Air Selangor has secured a Preliminary Assessment letter from RAM Sustainability Sdn Bhd (“RAM Sustainability”), which outlines RAM Sustainability’s view that the Framework’s Eligible Blue Projects are eligible blue projects under IFC’s Guidelines for Blue Finance Version 2.0.

Malaysia’s Plastics Industry Takes Charge: Driving Local Recycling and Voluntary EPR from the Ground Up

Industry representatives from ACCCIM, FMM, MAREA, MPMA and MPRA at a joint meeting to finalise their Budget 2027 submission to the Ministry of Finance, proposing measures to strengthen Malaysia's recycling ecosystem ahead of mandatory EPR by 2030

PETALING JAYA, Selangor, July 21 (Bernama) -- Malaysia’s plastics industry is not waiting for 2030. Driven by accelerating environmental concerns, while the transition to a circular economy is already well underway, our efforts must be scaled up. As the country prepares for mandatory Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) under the Circular Economy Blueprint for Solid Waste in Malaysia (2025-2035), leading industry players are already taking concrete steps on the ground. From collecting recyclables, educating communities, to building the foundations of a local circular economy, these efforts help to reduce Malaysia’s reliance on imported petrochemical feedstock and crude oil-derived raw materials from the Middle East, whilst developing domestic circular production and consumption practices.

Five industry associations: The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM), Federation of Malaysian Manufacturing (FMM), Malaysian Recycling Alliance (MAREA), Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association (MPMA) and Malaysian Plastics Recyclers Association (MPRA), have come together to drive this agenda collectively, combining on-the-ground action with coordinated industry advocacy.
 
Industry Action on the Ground
MAREA, Malaysia’s first voluntary industry-led EPR initiative, was established in 2021 by ten major FMCG companies committed to improving domestic collection and recycling rates for packaging waste. Since then, MAREA has tested practical approaches to EPR implementation by supporting collection, sorting and recycling partners across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak, involving multiple actors across the recycling value chain. Through these projects, MAREA has generated practical insights into local collection systems while supporting community-based communication, education and public awareness initiatives to encourage waste separation and recycling. These on-the-ground experiences contribute to the Government’s data-informed development of Malaysia’s EPR Policy Framework and support the transition from voluntary to mandatory EPR.
 
Since October 2020, Nestlé Malaysia has been running Project SAVE (Segregate, Avoid, Value, Educate), its flagship voluntary EPR programme and Malaysia’s largest corporate-led household recycling collection initiative, implemented in partnership with seven local municipal councils across nine cities in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Kedah. The programme is reaching over 270,000 households on a weekly and bi-weekly basis and has collected approximately 49,000 tonnes of dry mixed recyclables and recoverables to date (of which 32,000 tonnes are plastics). Through these efforts, Project SAVE is helping to strengthen recycling habits among communities through comprehensive CEPA (Communication, Education & Public Awareness) and support Malaysia’s transition towards a more circular economy.
 
On the education front, MPMA runs The Green Truck, a mobile recycling education programme that visits schools across Malaysia to bring the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) to life for students since 2022. To date, The Green Truck has reached more than 40,000 primary and secondary students nationwide, helping to build recycling awareness and habits from a young age.
 
MPRA has launched the Education Next Generation Programme, aiming to reach 24 primary schools across Peninsular Malaysia by 2027. Since 2024, MPRA and its members have collectively supported over 1,000 education, community engagement and recycling campaign programmes nationwide. Beyond schools, MPRA works with residential communities, commercial premises and public events to promote recycling through education, public awareness and collection campaigns across Penang and the Klang Valley. MPRA also serves as an industry connector, linking consumers, collectors and plastic recyclers to strengthen collection networks, improve plastic recovery and accelerate Malaysia's transition towards a circular economy.
 
A Shared Opportunity
Waste management and recycling is a shared responsibility between governments, businesses and individuals. These efforts gained fresh momentum following a luncheon dialogue on 11 May 2026, organised by ACCCIM and attended by YB Liew Chin Tong, Deputy Minister of Finance, and YB Sim Tze Tzin, Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry. The dialogue brought together recyclers, manufacturers and major plastic product users to explore how local recyclers could be better matched with large-scale plastic consumers to close the circular loop domestically. The conversation was particularly timely given the ongoing geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East that have affected global petrochemical feedstock supply. The government expressed strong support for this direction.
 
Building on this momentum, the five associations convened a series of industry roundtables to take stock of where the recycling value chain stands today, identify areas for improvement and map out a way forward together. Discussions covered the practical realities facing recyclers and manufacturers on the ground, from tax considerations under the Sales and Service Tax (SST) framework to gaps in collection infrastructure and opportunities to enhance existing government incentives.
 
Supporting the Voluntary EPR Phase
As part of this coordinated effort, the five associations have jointly submitted a policy position paper to the Ministry of Finance ahead of Budget 2027, titled “Budget 2027: Accelerating Plastics Circularity and EPR Adoption in Malaysia.” The submission outlines how targeted fiscal measures could help complement industry’s voluntary action and strengthen Malaysia’s recycling ecosystem ahead of mandatory EPR in 2030. Key proposals include:
 
• Expanding the Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA) with a dedicated Circular Economy and EPR category to support investment in collection, sorting and material recovery infrastructure;
• Targeted SST relief for plastic traders, stockists, collectors, sorters and EPR compliance fees, to ease structural cost pressures across the recycling value chain;
• Extending diesel subsidy (SKDS) eligibility to recycling collection and logistics fleets, including RORO (Roll-On Roll-Off) trucks widely used for recyclables collection, on par with existing landfill logistics support;
• Tax deductions to support circular economy certifications and consumer education campaigns on waste separation at source; and
• An early adopter incentive to reward companies that begin EPR implementation during the voluntary phase from 2026 to 2029, encouraging early action across the supply chain.
 
The voluntary EPR stage commencing in 2026 is a valuable window for industry to prepare. Getting collection infrastructure in place, raising consumer awareness and aligning the supply chain now will ensure Malaysia is well-positioned when mandatory EPR takes effect in 2030. The five associations remain committed to working closely with the government to make this transition a success, and look forward to continued engagement with the Ministry of Finance and relevant agencies as the proposals are considered.

Cambodia's Growing Confidence in Malaysia Healthcare Signals a New Chapter for Medical Tourism

KUALA LUMPUR, July 21  (Bernama) -- When a family makes the decision to seek medical treatment abroad, it is rarely based on cost alone. It is a decision shaped by trust, access to specialised care, confidence in medical expertise and the assurance that their loved ones will receive the best possible treatment.  For decades, this trust has anchored Malaysia’s reputation as a the preferred healthcare destination. While our clinical excellence draws patients from across the world including Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East, our deepest relationships have naturally flourished within the Asia-Pacific region. Today, within this primary footprint, another regional market is rapidly emerging as an important contributor to the country's healthcare travel industry. Cambodia's growing confidence in Malaysia Healthcare reflects not only the country's increasing demand for quality medical treatment abroad, but also Malaysia's strengthening position as a regional leader in healthcare travel.

In 2025, nearly 12,000 Cambodian patients travelled to Malaysia for medical treatment, resulting in RM30 million in healthcare travel revenue. While Cambodia remains an emerging market compared to Malaysia's more established healthcare travel sources, its steady growth demonstrates increasing awareness and trust among Cambodian patients who are actively seeking quality healthcare beyond their borders.

Cambodia's healthcare landscape has evolved significantly over the past decade. As healthcare awareness grows and more patients seek specialised treatments that may not be readily available domestically, demand for cross-border healthcare continues to increase. Today, patients are making more informed decisions by comparing treatment options, specialist expertise and healthcare outcomes before choosing where to receive care.

This changing healthcare landscape presents a significant opportunity for Malaysia. Supported by a network of 91 member hospitals, Malaysia Healthcare offers internationally accredited medical institutions, multidisciplinary Centres of Excellence and highly experienced specialists across a broad spectrum of healthcare services. From oncology and cancer care, cardiology and orthopaedics to fertility and reproductive medicine, gastroenterology, health screening and preventive care, Malaysia continues to meet the evolving needs of international patients through clinical excellence, advanced medical technologies and patient-centred care.

Beyond clinical excellence, Malaysia has also become known for something equally important: the experience of care itself. Guided by the "Healing Meets Hospitality" proposition, Malaysia's healthcare ecosystem embraces values of empathy, compassion and attentiveness that are deeply rooted in the country's culture. Much like the nurturing qualities often associated with a mother's care, patients are supported not only through advanced medical treatment, but also through warmth, reassurance and genuine human connection throughout their healing journey.

This growing trust is one of the reasons Cambodia has become an increasingly important market for Malaysia Healthcare. Recognising the country's long-term potential, the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) organised the inaugural Malaysia Healthcare Expo (MHX) Phnom Penh, making Cambodia the first market outside Indonesia to host the consumer-focused healthcare expo. More than an exhibition, MHX Phnom Penh brought Malaysian specialists and healthcare providers directly to Cambodian communities, allowing patients to better understand treatment options, seek professional advice and build confidence before travelling to Malaysia for care.

The decision to invest in Cambodia reflects a broader strategy to strengthen Malaysia's presence in emerging healthcare travel markets across the region. As awareness of Malaysia's healthcare capabilities continues to grow, Cambodia is expected to play an increasingly important role in supporting the industry's long-term growth. The impact extends far beyond hospitals. Every international patient who chooses Malaysia contributes to a wider economic ecosystem encompassing airlines, hotels, transportation providers, retail businesses and tourism-related services. Healthcare travel has therefore become a strategic economic contributor, creating value across multiple sectors while reinforcing Malaysia's international reputation for healthcare excellence.

This momentum aligns with the aspirations of Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026 (MYMT2026), which continues to strengthen Malaysia's position as a preferred healthcare destination under the "Healing Meets Hospitality" proposition. Through strategic market engagement and strong collaboration across the healthcare ecosystem, Malaysia is well positioned to attract more international patients while delivering meaningful economic impact to the nation.

Cambodia's growing confidence in Malaysia Healthcare is more than a success story for one market. It reflects the strength of Malaysia's healthcare ecosystem and demonstrates that the country's reputation for quality, trusted and patient-centred care continues to resonate across Southeast Asia. As more regional patients choose Malaysia for their healthcare journey, the country's medical tourism industry is not only growing, but also contributing meaningfully to Malaysia's economy, international standing and long-term healthcare ambitions.
