FELDA and FGV Holdings have introduced B100, a biodiesel made entirely from palm oil, as a potential alternative energy source to reduce fuel costs amid rising prices.

The agency said B100 is among the world’s first biodiesel fuels produced without any fossil fuel blending.

🧵1 Image
Previously, high production costs had hindered its widespread adoption, as B100 once cost about RM4.40/litre, higher than conventional diesel at the time.

However, shifting market conditions have made it more competitive and more viable amid the current global crisis.

🧵2
According to FELDA, Malaysia produces about 20 mil tonnes of CPO annually, theoretically enough to meet domestic diesel demand, but is constrained by limited processing capacity and weak demand.

Many factories are operating below capacity due to low demand, though it noted that output could increase with clear policy support.

Najib Razak has been ordered to repay SRC International US$1.18 billion, along with an additional US$120 million allegedly transferred into his personal bank account.

The KL High Court ruled that Najib breached his fiduciary duties, citing overwhelming evidence including financial records, fund flows, and his own admissions.

🧵1Image
In his ruling, Judge Ahmad Fairuz dismissed the defence’s objections to redacted banking documents as speculative and unsupported by evidence.

He said witness testimony and documentary records consistently traced the US$120 million to Najib’s bank account ending in "694".

🧵2
"The defence claims that the prime minister, in his capacity as finance minister, did not monitor his own bank accounts.

"If he did not manage or monitor the accounts, it raises the question of how he could have formed any belief regarding the source of the funds," he said.

🚨 JUST IN : FIFA has ordered a formal investigation into FAM’s internal operations for using forged birth certificates to claim Malaysian ancestry for seven naturalised players.

It said both FAM and the players failed to verify the false lineage claims, noting that the players didn’t even read the naturalisation papers they signed.

🧵1Image
Image
FIFA ruled that the falsifications gave Malaysia an undue sporting gain, including in the 4–0 win over Vietnam, and rejected claims that the issue was minor or procedural.

It also said FAM was clearly negligent for relying on contradictory, unverified ancestry records and failing to respond to repeated requests for clarification.

🧵2
The probe will examine FAM’s compliance systems and identify those responsible, including FAM gen-sec Noor Azman and two licensed FIFA agents, Nicolas Puppo and Frederico Moraes.

FIFA said their alleged involvement raises serious concerns that warrant close scrutiny.

The Communications Ministry has retracted its statement on building a pioneering AI system using Huawei Technologies chips.

"Malaysia would deploy 3,000 units of Huawei’s primary AI offering by 2026," said Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching earlier.

🧵1 Image

Teo said Chinese AI startup DeepSeek would contribute an AI model to the project.

Meanwhile, the statement drew attention from the White House, which is working to counter China's AI ambitions.

🧵2
The reversal follows the US Commerce Department revising guidance cautioning foreign companies against using Huawei’s Ascend chips.

The agency initially warned that using the chips globally might violate US export controls but later dropped the worldwide scope amid tensions with Beijing.

A former Immigration officer, now holding the Datuk title, reportedly masterminds a Pakistani cartel smuggling migrant workers into Malaysia and collaborates with Pakistani agents on syndicates like the ‘A to B’.

“He plays a crucial role by arranging migrant worker quota approvals and handling dealings with the department.

“He even owns several companies that exist only on paper to facilitate the syndicate,” a source told Malaysiakini, adding that the Datuk’s son is working in the Immigration Department.

🧵1Image
A local agent familiar with the syndicate said that Pakistani agents have begun to dominate KLIA, particularly at Terminal 1.

Pakistanis are gaining control at KLIA as agents struggle to exploit Chinese nationals, who now use the autogate system, removing the need for bribes.

🧵2
Several agents on the ground identified a Pakistani national known as 'Asif' as one of the most influential figures among the Pakistani agents.

“The Datuk sets up companies and obtains quota approvals, while Asif brings in migrant workers from Pakistan," said the agent.
