The Environment and Water Ministry have said that we need to allocate 392 billion ringgit for long-term flood solutions. First, we break down that number and look at how much we’ve already allocated. Then, we revisit a show we did with Dr Peter Gan Kim Soon of MERCY Malaysia, that looks into what kind of survival skills we need to be equipped with, to keep ourselves safe during floods.

ASEAN Gateway To Cross Border Payments
ASEAN’s digital payments sector is experiencing rapid growth, fueled by increasing smartphone use, fintech innovation, and a booming e-commerce landscape. Key markets like Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines are leading the way, with major opportunities in digitizing MSMEs and expanding rural financial access. Consumers are shifting toward mobile-first behavior, embracing e-wallets, mobile banking, and digital banks that offer greater convenience and accessibility. ASEAN central banks are strengthening cooperation to enhance payment linkages through QR code integration and shared standards. A major initiative, Project Nexus, aims to make cross-border payments faster, cheaper, and more seamless, though challenges remain in aligning regulations and infrastructure. As digital transactions surge, cybersecurity becomes critical, with the need to protect users without disrupting the payment experience. Importantly, digital finance is helping bank the unbanked, especially in rural areas, where mobile money and fintech tools are providing people with their first access to formal financial services.How can ASEAN ensure inclusive growth as digital payments continue to expand?
