We need to learn from this sad episode and put a stop to dangerous activities like ‘basikal lajak’ racing on our roads. Let’s hope this appeal secures Sam her stay of execution because she’s neither a hardcore criminal nor flight risk. Even those convicted of gross corruption are still walking freely while they await their appeals to be heard. Sam would need a quick hearing, or else she would be locked up. To put it bluntly, this is common sense, particularly for those who have experienced near-mishaps with these reckless cyclists who think they own our highways.

As Malaysia reopens its borders this month, the country is still not utilising a major tool to fight Covid-19 in the third year of the pandemic — data. Mobile positioning data to track touristsMalaysia should leverage the use of mobile positioning data (MPD) to track tourists in the country. There have been two national policies implemented successfully in the region that support data sharing while protecting individuals. Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) launched a trusted data-sharing framework to facilitate data sharing between organisations and consumers by providing strong safeguards and clarity on regulatory compliance related to sharing data. But more must be done to utilise this data while updating various regulatory frameworks, such as personal data protection, cybersecurity and intellectual property rights.

EVERY now and then, capital markets everywhere face challenges posed by participants who attempt to sidestep the law. Regulations related to capital markets have been crafted over the years and they keep getting refined to suit current times. Capital markets that fall short of high standards of regulation and transparency will struggle to achieve those goals. The issue with the FY20 revenue was first raised by KPMG to the Serba Dinamik board in May 2021.

KUALA LUMPUR: Loan scam syndicates are duping victims into parting with their money by imposing "an initial fee" before the so-called loan can be approved, says the police.

This will be easily dwarfed by the RM200 million annual wholesale revenue from DNB’s fibre leasing arrangement,” he said.

If you have held it long term, meaning over a year, profits from any sale are subject to capital gains tax. But with short-term holdings of less than a year, gains from a sale are treated differently -- as ordinary income, with the rate determined according to your tax bracket. If you have been buying and selling crypto through major exchanges, such as Coinbase or Robinhood, then you should be getting annual statements that will make reporting straightforward. GIFTING STRATEGIESOne way to move crypto around without incurring taxes is to give it away. “If you have had gains from selling crypto, don’t forget you can offset your gains with losses, just like with stock,” says Lisa Greene-Lewis, a CPA and tax expert with TurboTax.

KUALA LUMPUR (April 14): Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) group president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Abdul Farid Alias said on Thursday (April 14, 2022) that while Maybank's economic forecast for Malaysia has taken into account the impact of the country's Covid-19 endemic transition since April 1, 2022 from pandemic status, the only event that has not been factored into Maybank's forecast is the Russia-Ukraine war, which will have an impact on the global economy. "This is because Europe is a major investor and trade partner for ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and Malaysia. The secondary impact might be relatively significant but it depends on how things will evolve over time," Abdul Farid said. He said that the Malaysian economic outlook that Maybank gave earlier this year on the country's gross domestic product (GDP), inflation and interest rate had taken into account that the Covid-19 pandemic would become endemic in Malaysia at this point in time. "We are on target when it comes to the current progress [of the economy] that by April [2022] with regard to the borders that will be reopened and more activities will be permissible outside compared to before.

The British watchmakers refused to believe that foreign manufacturers could outperform them and “… they carried this prejudice with them as the industry twitched and kicked in its death throes”. The arrogance of the British watchmakers was both surprising and unsurprising. As it turns out, by 1870, Switzerland produced over two-thirds of the world’s watches by value, leaving British watchmakers far behind in the dust. Those who are privileged from the status quo will always seek to preserve the status quo. We should ask ourselves — what might the non-progress of structural reform in Malaysia tell us about our status quo?
