Enabling FinTech In Malaysia

The number of financial businesses and startups that are progressively seeking new technological solutions to remain relevant is at an all-time high as we are finally delving into the revolutionary era where finance marries technology. With cryptocurrency, online banking and crowdfunding being all the rage, could this be a wave goodbye to brick-and-mortar banks downtown and face-to-face customer services? It is a question of choosing between traditional retail banks or online-only banks, asset managers or robo-advisors, old-fashioned lenders or peer-to-peer marketplaces. We speak to Aznan Abdul Aziz, Director of Financial Sector Development Department of Bank Negara Malaysia, and Fintech Enabler Group (FTEG) chairman to find out how we’re doing in this space.

Gold Medal Reporting

The SEA Games is here once again...it’s that time where Malaysian athletes finally get to have their precious moments in the sun. That’s where the spotlight usually is but this evening, we're gonna be looking through a slightly different lens. We're going to be focusing on an individual and indeed an industry that’s just as heavily invested in the past and the future of sports in Malaysia...sports journalism. We speak to Tony Mariadass, former sports editor at The Malay Mail, who’s been in the field for over 3 decades.Brought to you by Mah Sing.

When ADUNs Do Their Job

Yesterday, Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng apologised for a lack of action to help Sungai Lembu villagers despite numerous complaints about a polluting and illegal carbon filter factory in their backyard. The apology revealed Pakatan-led Penang state government’s policy of not demolishing or closing down illegal structures or businesses that existed before it took over in 2008. This followed from the arrest of Penang State Exco member, by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission. Caught in the political tussle between supports and detractors of the state government was the state assemblywoman who had lobbied on behalf of villagers. Today we get her side of the story.
