Currently, EVs produced in Gangbei District have been exported to countries such as India, Thailand, the Netherlands, Nepal, Peru, Costa Rica, and Madagascar, gaining a foothold in the international market.

Looking forward, Gangbei District will continue to expand opening-up, enhance industrial competitiveness, enable more "Made in Guigang" EVs to reach global markets, and elevate the industry's international influence.

Entering its ninth year, SIBS has grown into one of the most prominent platforms for trade, investment, and innovation in the region, strengthening Selangor’s role as a key gateway to the South East Asian market.
 
Speaking at the launch, the Chief Minister of Selangor said that in the face of global uncertainty, regional unity has become more crucial than ever. “We are operating in an increasingly unpredictable global environment. This makes it even more important for ASEAN economies to stand together — united, forward-looking and resilient,” he said.
 
“Selangor is committed to playing a leading role in fostering deeper regional partnerships, both at the government and business levels.” The Chief Minister also emphasised Selangor’s readiness to act as a subnational driver of economic diplomacy, leveraging its strategic location, modern infrastructure and diversified economy to connect provinces, states and cities across ASEAN.

The new component highlights critical issues such as mental health, wellness and ageing — bringing human-centric development into sharper focus.
 
The Selangor Aerospace Summit also returns this year as an integrated part of the main programme, showcasing Selangor’s ambitions to strengthen its position as a national aerospace hub and facilitating cross-sector collaboration with industrial, logistics and digital economy players.
 
With 70% of planning already completed, the State Government has launched regional promotional efforts across South East Asia and intensified outreach across Malaysia to ensure broad participation. “We encourage business leaders, government agencies, and academia to take part in SIBS 2025 — whether as exhibitors, trade visitors, or conference delegates. It’s an opportunity not only to network but to help shape the future direction of the region’s economy,” the Chief Minister added.
 
Since its establishment in 2015, SIBS has generated billions in potential trade and investment value, and continues to draw a growing international audience. Beyond the numbers, the summit represents Selangor’s long-term commitment to building an inclusive, future-ready and sustainable economy.
 
SIBS 2025 will be held from 8–11 October 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The summit is organised by Invest Selangor Berhad on behalf of the Selangor State Government.

SELANGOR, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- The World Islamic Tourism and Trade Exhibition (WITEX 2025) concluded its awards ceremony yesterday evening, organized by MATA, with the attendance of ministers, officials, and economic and cultural figures from around the world. The ceremony honored the Al-Sultan Restaurant chain, with Yemeni businessman Anas Al-Faqih receiving the award, along with the organizers. This honoring highlights the global presence of Islamic brands. 

Al-Sultan Restaurant was honored last August 22, when Malaysian Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Chang Leh Kang presented it with the BeST 2.0 Award. The chain also announced the opening of two new branches in September, reflecting its expanding presence in the Malaysian market.
 
Al-Sultan Restaurant, under ALFA Consortium sdn bhd, continues to grow its presence in Malaysia by offering authentic Yemeni and Arabic dishes, which have become a leading representation of Middle Eastern cuisine in Kuala Lumpur and beyond. The upcoming branches in September are expected to be a valuable addition, combining the company's economic aspirations with its cultural role in showcasing Middle Eastern and Yemeni culinary heritage as a form of soft power that transcends borders through taste and shared human experience.
 
In his remarks, Dr. Muhammad Khalid Harun, Chairman of MATA and Chairman of WITEX & WCAF 2025, emphasized that the turnout reflects the growing global demand for Islamic tourism and culture. He explained that the event combined halal tourism with modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and applications for spiritual planning. He added that Islamic tourism now intersects with broader sectors, including health, finance, and digital commerce, making it an integrated economic project. He noted the event attracted more than 150 pavilions and opened opportunities for students and researchers from Malaysian universities, emphasizing that WITEX is moving towards becoming an annual platform uniting economy, culture, and innovation under Islamic identity.
 
The World Islamic Tourism & Trade Expo (WITTE 2025) marked a milestone for Malaysia’s role in Islamic tourism, international trade, and cultural exchange. Opening the event, Tourism Minister Dato’ Sri Tiong Keng Seng praised the Malaysian Association of Travel Agencies (MATA) for elevating the expo from a regional initiative to a global platform.

GUANGXI'S SWEET SUCCESS: GROWTH, INNOVATION

Guangxi Daxin Sugar Production Area 

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 (Bernama) -- Situated in southern China, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has leveraged its unique geographical location and climate to become the nation’s top hub for sugarcane cultivation and sugar production.

According to a statement, the sugar output of Guangxi's sugar industry has stably accounted for over 60 per cent of China's total sugar production, making it a cornerstone of the nation's sugar industry.

In this thriving environment, a number of modern sugar enterprises have emerged. Among them, Guangxi Sungain Sugar Industry Group Co Ltd, one of the top 10 sugar enterprises, stands out as a private joint-stock company centred on sugarcane processing, while also branching into various other industries.

The group, which owns a large-scale sugarcane planting base, has not only successfully achieved a diversified development layout but also played a demonstration and leading role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the sugar industry.

The development of Guangxi's sugar industry has yielded significant social and economic benefits. It has improved the comprehensive benefits of agriculture and become a crucial guarantee for the stable income of farmers in many sugarcane-growing areas.

At the same time, the extension of the sugar industry chain has further enhanced resource utilisation efficiency, enabling green and circular development. Moreover, the growth of sugar enterprises has provided strong support for local finances, promoting the construction of urban and rural infrastructure and the integration of regional economies.

Looking ahead, guided by national initiatives such as rural revitalisation and coordinated regional development, Guangxi’s sugar industry is continuously strengthening technological innovation and brand building, as well as accelerating its development towards high-end, intelligent, and green transformation.

By effectively utilising new technologies such as digital agriculture and smart manufacturing, Guangxi also actively promotes the integration of the sugar industry with emerging industries, forging a new pattern of modern sugar economy with Guangxi characteristics and contributing "sweet strength" to driving economic prosperity and social progress in ethnic group areas.

CGC Announces Leadership Transition

Datuk Mohd Zamree Mohd Ishak

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 (Bernama) -- Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad (CGC) yesterday announced that its President & Chief Executive Officer (PCEO), Datuk Mohd Zamree Mohd Ishak, will conclude his term on 31 December 2025, marking the end of a decade of transformative leadership.

Datuk Zamree will be succeeded by Mohamed Nazri Omar, whose appointment as PCEO takes effect on 1 January 2026. He will join CGC in October 2025 to facilitate a smooth leadership transition.
 
With 36 years in the financial services industry, Datuk Zamree has been instrumental in reshaping CGC since 2015. He spearheaded two consecutive Five-Year Strategic Plans, anchoring the Corporation’s growth on three pillars — Guarantee, Financing and Beyond Guarantee. During his tenure, several initiatives were introduced to address market gaps and strengthen MSME development, including the launch of BizWanita (2015), BizMikro (2020) and the Beyond Guarantee initiatives such as the CGC Developmental Programme®, the creation of imSME in 2018 — now being developed as The Marketplace for MSMEs through CGC Digital — and most recently, the Guarantee Schemes for Malaysian Mid-Tier Companies (2025).
 
Datuk Zamree’s leadership and contribution to the financial ecosystem has earned recognition both nationally and internationally. He was recently honoured with the Distinguished Person Award 2024 in the ADFIAP Sustainable Awards for lifetime achievement in development banking.
 
Since its establishment in 1972, CGC has approved over RM100 billion in guarantees and financing. Between 2015 and 2024, CGC delivered a 10-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11% across revenue, profit, and outstanding guarantees and financing. In May 2025, CGC achieved the historic RM100 billion milestone, benefitting more than 380,000 MSMEs throughout Malaysia.
 
Mohamed Nazri brings more than 25 years of experience in corporate and investment banking. He is currently the Managing Director of Group Corporate & Investment Banking at Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad (BPMB), where he oversees Group Corporate Banking & Advisory, Group Treasury & Investment, Business Development & Strategy, and Product Development, while also serving as Director at several BPMB subsidiaries.

Prior to BPMB, he was Chief Executive Officer of Danajamin Nasional Berhad (2014– 2022) and Chairman of Prima Ekuiti (UK) Limited (2019–2020). At Danajamin, he spearheaded a review of the company’s developmental mandate and successfully expanded its role and product offerings to better support underserved but financially viable companies. He also raised Danajamin’s profile in the capital markets through regular participation in domestic and international forums, as well as roadshows with the Securities Commission.

 
Earlier in his career, Nazri built a strong foundation in corporate and investment banking as well as capital markets through various roles with leading financial institutions, including Kuwait Finance House Malaysia (2005–2011), RHB Sakura Merchant Bankers (2004–2005), Macquarie Bank (2001–2004) and Citibank (1997–
2001).
 
CGC Chairman, Dato’ Mohammed Hussein said, “On behalf of the Board, I extend our deepest gratitude to Datuk Zamree for his outstanding leadership over the past decade. He has built a strong foundation for CGC Group, enhancing its role as a key catalyst of MSME growth and resilience. At the same time, we are pleased to welcome Mohamed Nazri Omar as the new PCEO. We are confident that his wealth of experience in both the financial institutions and the development financial institutions will further strengthen CGC’s capacity to deliver innovative solutions and expand its impact in serving the MSMEs, a key component of the Malaysian economy”.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250825570906/en/ 

This milestone event is set to be an important convergence point for leading academics, policy makers, tech industry experts, ethicists, and others, to explore how AI is transforming societies and how globally diverse value systems should frame its responsible development and deployment. Socially-disruptive technologies are increasingly affecting our daily lives and, with technological innovation outpacing regulatory frameworks worldwide, meaningful international action is needed to ethically shape rules and guidelines to protect cultural and human norms.

The conference will highlight the need for cross-sector collaboration to ensure ethical AI development and standards across six thematic areas: healthcare; urban design; security; education; finance; and the future of the workplace.

The conference seeks to advance cohesive international standards that mitigate the risk of institutional exposure to possible liabilities and protect individuals and communities that may be adversely affected by these extremely rapid developments.

Bitget Opens Access for AI Agent-Assisted Trading Boosting Wider Crypto Adoption

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Aug 20 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has announced its AI-powered trading assistant, GetAgent, is now available to all users. First introduced in July in an invite-only launch, GetAgent blends advanced AI with real-time market data to deliver insights, strategies, and execution tools in one seamless chat interface.

During the invite-only period, GetAgent received great feedback, amassing a waitlist of over 25,000 users. Early adopters provided valuable suggestions, including the need for more visual feedback to make market signals easier to interpret. These insights have helped sharpen the platform’s accuracy, personalization, and responsiveness ahead of today’s public launch.

With the public launch, GetAgent is introducing three membership tiers to meet the needs of different types of traders. The Free plan is open to everyone and offers analysis of the top 50 coins alongside futures strategies. The Plus plan, available with a free 30-day trial for early access users, includes up to ten daily questions, personalized strategy generation, and deeper market analysis. For high-frequency and professional traders, the Ultra plan offers priority access, up to fifty daily questions, and early access to upcoming features. These tiers are designed to scale with users’ trading ambitions, delivering smarter trades, sharper insights, and AI-powered automation for portfolios, trading signals, and market moves.

To celebrate the public release, Bitget is launching a limited-time GetAgent Experience-Sharing Campaign. All users can participate for a chance to win a free 30-day GetAgent Plus membership by sharing their experiences with the assistant.

With its public debut, GetAgent now lets traders generate strategies in plain language, cutting through complexity with a simple prompt. It bundles over 50 pro-grade tools—spanning market insights, on-chain data, and social sentiment—into one AI-powered hub. Smarter with every use, the assistant adapts to each trader’s style, serving up sharper strategies and timely risk alerts in real time.

“AI is changing the trading game, and GetAgent is our way of making that power accessible to everyone,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Whether you’re just starting in crypto or a seasoned market veteran, GetAgent delivers insights that help you move faster, trade smarter, and act with greater confidence.”

Bitget will continue to upgrade GetAgent with expanded integrations, additional asset coverage, and more customization options, ensuring it evolves alongside the market and its users.

GetAgent is the latest addition to Bitget’s growing suite of AI-enabled tools, which also includes Bitget Seed, an AI-powered platform for discovering early-stage Web3 projects. Both align with Bitget’s mission to integrate emerging technologies like AI into its secure CeDeFi trading ecosystem, bridging on-chain innovation with user-friendly tools that empower everyday traders.
