    Chin Hin Group tops out Ayanna Resort Residences, Bukit Jalil

    Chin Hin Group Property (“CHGP”) has officially marked a major milestone in its residential portfolio with the successful topping out of Ayanna Resort Residences in Jalan Mas, Bukit Jalil. The structural completion of the project’s residential towers signals the transition into the final stages of construction, keeping the project firmly on track for handover in Q2 2027.
    Spanning two high-rise towers across 4.9 acres of freehold land—Block A (42 storeys, 333 units) and Block B (44 storeys, 491 units)—Ayanna Resort Residences comprises 824 units designed for modern, multi-generational living.

    The development has achieved a stellar 95% take-up rate prior to reaching its structural peak, reflecting strong market confidence and sustained demand for thoughtfully designed homes. In addition, this award-winning project has also earned the GreenRE Certification in recognition of its energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable design and green building practices, meeting the expectations of today’s sustainability-conscious homebuyers.

    With a Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM732.1 million, the project reinforces its position as a standout premium residential offering in the market.

    Reflecting on the milestone, CHGP Executive Director Chang Tze Yoong said, “Reaching the structural topping-out milestone of Ayanna Resort Residences marks a pivotal chapter for Chin Hin Group Property. The overwhelming 95% take-up rate reflects the trust homebuyers have placed in our commitment to quality, innovative layout concepts, and timely delivery.

    “We designed Ayanna Resort Residences with the warmth of Malaysian community living in mind, blending resort-style leisure with sustainable design and nature-inspired landscapes. As we celebrate this topping-out milestone today, we remain firmly committed to delivering a vibrant, sustainable sanctuary that families can proudly call home for generations to come,” Chang added.

    Following the completion of structural works, construction focus now shifts to architectural façade installation, exterior envelope finishing, electrical and mechanical (M&E) fittings, and interior unit fit-outs. In tandem, landscape construction across the 1.3-acre recreational park and interactive stream hub will also commence.
    CHGP remains steadfast in upholding rigorous quality control and safety standards as the project moves steadily toward completion and unit handover in Q2 2027.

  • Principal® and CIMB expand Signature Series with launch of first Shariah-compliant fund

    Principal® and CIMB expand Signature Series with launch of first Shariah-compliant fund

    Principal Financial Group® and CIMB Group Holdings Berhad (CIMB) via their joint venture Principal Asset Management Berhad (Principal), launches the Signature Dynamic Income Focus-i Fund (SDIFi) as the first Shariah-compliant fund in its Signature Series product suite.

    The suite, which also includes the Signature Dynamic Income Fund, Signature Dynamic Income & Growth Fund (SDIFi), and Principal Strategic Global Growth Fund, has surpassed RM2 billion (as of July 2026) in total assets under management.

    SDIFi is designed to provide investors with global diversification and portfolio resilience, while maintaining an income-focused approach. The Fund also incorporates a measured allocation to Shariah-compliant equities, offering the potential for long-term capital growth and diversified sources of return. Its global mandate provides the flexibility to identify opportunities across regions and issuers, rather than relying on a single market.

    All investments in the SDIFi are subject to rigorous Shariah screening and exclude businesses involved in non-permissible activities, including alcohol, gambling, tobacco and other sectors that do not comply with Shariah principles.

    “Investors across the region are increasingly looking for solutions that can help them navigate uncertainty while continuing to generate income and pursue long-term growth. As the first Shariah-compliant fund in our Signature Series, the Signature Dynamic Income Focus-i Fund expands the range of investment options available to our investors, combining global diversification with a flexible approach that can adapt to changing market conditions. We believe this makes it a compelling solution for those seeking to build wealth while remaining aligned with their values,” said Munirah Khairuddin, Chief Executive Officer and Head of Principal Asset Management Berhad.

    The Fund brings together Principal’s global investment expertise with CIMB’s Chief Investment Office advisory and market insights, supporting a disciplined approach to portfolio construction and investment decision-making.

    “CIMB is focused on offering savings, wealth, and protection solutions backed by deep insights and advisory to shape better solutions for our customers. Together with Principal, we continue to augment our comprehensive wealth ecosystem that enhances the growth, protection and legacy goals of our customers across ASEAN markets, which aligns with our purpose of advancing customers and society,” added Haniz Nazlan, Chief Executive Officer, Group Consumer Banking, CIMB.

  • Bursa Malaysia and FTSE Russell announce enhancements to FBMKLCI and FBM70 indices

    Bursa Malaysia Berhad (Bursa Malaysia) and FTSE Russell today announced enhancements to the methodologies of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBMKLCI) and the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Mid 70 (FBM70) indices, following a public consultation conducted earlier this year. Implementation will take place in phases beginning 21 December 2026, in line with FTSE Russell’s index review schedule.

    The public consultation, conducted from 31 March 2026 to 24 April 2026, indicated broad support for the proposed enhancements among asset owners, asset managers, brokers and other market participants. Following a comprehensive review of feedback received and subsequent further engagements with key stakeholders, Bursa Malaysia and FTSE Russell have confirmed the following changes.

    • FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBMKLCI): The FBMKLCI will be expanded from 30 to 50 constituents, increasing its representation of MAIN Market capitalisation from approximately 60% to 70%, based on simulations using June 2026 data.
    • FTSE Bursa Malaysia Mid 70 Index (FBM70): Following the expansion of the FBMKLCI, the FBM70 will be reduced from 70 to 50 constituents and renamed to FTSE Bursa Malaysia Mid Cap Index (“FBMMCAP”). The FTSE Bursa Malaysia Top 100 Index (“FBM100”) will remain unchanged at 100 constituents.

    Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, said: “Malaysia’s equity market has evolved considerably over the years, with growth sectors gaining scale and prominence alongside established sectors. By increasing representation across sectors and companies, the enhanced FBMKLCI will provide a broader reflection of Malaysia’s economic landscape while preserving the relevance investors expect from our flagship benchmark. It will also increase the visibility of a wider range of Malaysian companies and ensure the index continues to evolve alongside the market it represents.”

    Gerald Toledano, Group Head of Equity and Multi Assets at FTSE Russell, said: “The enhancements to the FBMKLCI represent an important step in ensuring Malaysia’s flagship benchmark remains representative, investable and aligned with the needs of domestic and international investors. The strong support received during the consultation process underscores the importance of maintaining benchmarks that keep pace with market developments. We look forward to working closely with Bursa Malaysia and market participants to support a smooth transition and implementation of these changes.”

    Based on simulations using data as at end June 2026, the expanded FBMKLCI would include representation from the Technology, Energy, and Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) sectors for the first time, while moderating concentration in the Financial Services sector. Actual constituent and sector composition at implementation will depend on constituent eligibility at the relevant review dates.

    The FBMKLCI enhancement will be implemented through a phased approach, a well-established practice that FTSE Russell has applied successfully in major index transitions globally. This approach supports an orderly transition, helping to reduce concentrated trading flows, minimise market impact, and facilitate portfolio rebalancing by market participants.

    Accordingly, the implementation will be carried out as follows:

    • Phase 1 (effective 21 December 2026): The 20 new constituents will be added to the FBMKLCI at 50% of their final index weight.
    • Phase 2 (effective 21 June 2027): The 20 new constituents will reach 100% of their final index weight, completing the transition to the enhanced FBMKLCI.

    The number of constituents in the FBM70 will be reduced from 70 to 50 on 21 December 2026 in conjunction with the index review. All constituent changes will take effect on that date.

    The expansion of the FBMKLCI marks the first change to its methodology since July 2009, when the benchmark transitioned from a 100-constituent index to its current composition of 30 constituents to optimise index replication and liquidity for institutional investors. The latest enhancements ensure the benchmark continues to evolve with the market.

  • Affin Bank and BCA collaborate to expand regional cardholder privileges

    Affin Bank and BCA collaborate to expand regional cardholder privileges

    The agreement creates a strategic platform for both banks to deliver greater value and exclusive lifestyle privileges to their customers. Through this collaboration, customers can enjoy specially curated benefits such as exclusive discounts, complimentary gifts, upgrades, preferential pricing and priority access across a wide range of lifestyle experiences, including concerts, hotels, dining, department stores and other selected merchants.

    Under the arrangement, BCA Credit Cardholders will enjoy special benefits when making payments with BCA Credit Cards at merchants designated by AFFIN, while AFFIN Credit Cardholders may receive privileges when making payments at merchants designated by BCA.

    Hendra Lembong, President Director of BCA, said, “We are delighted to partner with AFFIN on this strategic cross-promotion. This collaboration reflects our vision of creating a more integrated ASEAN banking ecosystem, where seamless access to lifestyle privileges and services enhances the overall customer experience.

  • CPO prices to stay firm Above RM4,600 in September despite tightening supply and geopolitical disruptions

    Malaysia’s palm oil production rose by 9.4% month-on-month to 1.79 million tonnes in July 2026, an increase of 154,000 tonnes. However, production in July 2026 remained below last year’s level, marking the fifth consecutive month of year-on-year decline since March 2026.

    Export performance strengthened further in July, with shipments rising by 14.5% month-on-month to 1.39 million tonnes. The improvement was mainly driven by stronger buying from India ahead of Diwali, as well as continued strong demand from the Sub-Saharan Africa region.

    Meanwhile, palm oil stocks continued to increase in July, reaching 2.62 million tonnes. However, the stock build-up in Malaysia is not a major concern, as strong biodiesel demand and front-loading of exports in Indonesia have kept Indonesian palm oil stocks relatively low.

    The price rally following MPOB’s release of its supply and demand data on 10 August further reinforced the view that current palm oil stock levels are not excessive, although overall supply remains comfortable for the time being.

    The global vegetable oil market continued to be supported by biofuel demand and geopolitical uncertainty in August, with palm oil leading the gains. Malaysian crude palm oil prices rose by 3.9% during the month, compared with increases of 2.7% for sunflower oil and 1.1% for soybean oil in Argentina. Meanwhile, rapeseed oil prices in Europe declined marginally by 0.8%.

    Malaysia’s palm oil production typically peaks in September or October before declining in the fourth quarter. Production growth in the first seven months of 2026 was largely supported by an improvement in the oil extraction rate (OER) of fresh fruit bunches (FFB).

    Malaysia’s OER from January to May 2026 was significantly above the 10-year average, supported by favourable rainfall conditions 6 months earlier. However, OER fell below the 10-year average in June and July 2026 and is projected to remain below the average for the rest of the year.

    As production enters its seasonal downtrend in the fourth quarter and OER eases from the high levels recorded between January and May, palm oil production is expected to decline year-on-year in Q4 2026, tightening supply towards the end of the year.

    At the same time, ongoing geopolitical disruptions are reshaping global vegetable oil trade flows. Shipping through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea has been disrupted, while traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has declined following the expiry of the 60-day ceasefire between the US and Iran on 17 August.

    Operations at several major ports and crushing plants in the Black Sea region have also been suspended following the renewed escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, adding further uncertainty to sunflower oil export availability over the next 1-2 months.

    These disruptions are shifting vegetable oil demand in major importing markets such as India towards palm oil, particularly ahead of the festive season. This trend was already evident in July, when India’s palm oil imports increased by 49.8% month-on-month and soybean oil imports rose 31.0%, while sunflower oil imports increased by only 3.6% amid tighter supply availability.

    Biodiesel economics have also remained broadly supportive relative to vegetable oils since the start of the West Asia conflict in February, supporting biodiesel blending demand and margins. This is particularly the case in Indonesia, where domestic CPO prices are trading well below gasoil prices.

    Looking ahead, crude palm oil prices are expected to remain firm above RM4,600 per tonne in September, supported by tightening supply fundamentals and continued geopolitical disruptions to global trade flows.

    Crude palm oil futures (FCPO) forward contracts for 2027 traded on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (BMD) were also above RM5,000 per tonne as of mid-August, reflecting market concerns over the potential impact of El Nino. Indonesia’s palm oil demand for B50 biodiesel blending could also strengthen further as the three-month transition period to clear the remaining B40 biodiesel stocks ends in September.

    However, downside risks remain. An easing of Black Sea logistical bottlenecks, the arrival of new-crop sunflower oil supplies in the export market and lower energy prices as geopolitical tensions improve could lead to a correction in vegetable oil prices.

  • Kepler Club opens expanded facility at KL International Airport

    Kepler Club opens expanded facility at KL International Airport

    Kepler Club, the technology-driven airport hospitality brand, officially opens its expanded facility at KL International Airport (KLIA) with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by the Ambassador of Türkiye to Malaysia, H.E. Nevzat Uyanık; Dato’ Mohd Izani Ghani, Managing Director of Malaysia Airports; and Kepler Club Founder & CEO Ömer Alaettinoğlu, together with invited guests and members of the media.

    The expansion more than doubles Kepler Club’s capacity at KLIA, from 64 to 148 beds, and introduces the double-deck cabin design with fully private entrances for every guest, the world’s first of its kind within an airport terminal. The configuration combines the intimacy of a hotel room with the space efficiency required in an airport environment. Each DoubleKep cabin features superior sound insulation, allowing guests to connect to the in-cabin sound system via Bluetooth and enjoy their favourite Spotify playlists in complete privacy.

    Showcasing Malaysia’s rich cultural identity.

    Available 24 hours a day and bookable by the hour, the facility offers travellers private smart sleeping cabins, a lounge and working area, showers, smart toilets, lockers, high-speed Wi-Fi, and unlimited refreshments. Check-in and check-out are fully automated through self-service kiosks, and guests can unlock their cabin doors directly from the Kepler app — eliminating the need for room keys, plastic key cards, or even a stop at reception to check in. A 24-hour receptionist remains available for guests who prefer human assistance.

    A private sleeping cabin at the expanded Kepler Club.

    Kepler Club KLIA has become a standout success since its launch: its Airside location is the highest-rated property on Booking.com among the 182 hotels around KLIA with a score of 9.2 out of 10, while its Landside location follows closely at 9.1, across more than 2,100 combined reviews.

    Through the Kepler membership platform launched in 2025, guests checking in via the app can personalise their stay by selecting a mood — Rainforest, Desert, Ocean, Mountain, or Fire — which sets the cabin’s lighting and soundscape on arrival and gently wakes the guest in the same mood before checkout. Additional sensory features are being rolled out progressively.

    Vibrant underwater-inspired Malaysian artwork brings colour and character to the contemporary interiors of Kepler Club.

    In a celebration of local culture, Kepler Club has also collaborated with Malaysian artists to design a selection of its cabins. Their original artworks are featured inside the cabins, displayed alongside the artists’ names — turning a rest stop into a small gallery of Malaysian creativity.

    The opening reinforces KLIA’s position as a leading regional hub and reflects Malaysia Airports’ continued focus on elevating the passenger experience through innovative commercial partnerships.

    “The new KLIA facility reflects what we believe airport hospitality should become,” said Ömer Alaettinoğlu, Founder & CEO of Kepler Club. “Every square metre is designed for efficiency and human comfort — powered by innovation and modernity. Air travel can be exhausting; rest should not be a luxury reserved for a few. We are grateful to Malaysia Airports for their partnership and support in making this expansion possible.”

    The official opening ceremony, held from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, featured a ribbon-cutting at the facility’s entrance, guided tours of the sleeping cabins, live music, and refreshments for invited guests, media representatives, and airport partners.

    Founded in Turkey and named after the astronomer Johannes Kepler — a nod to curiosity, discovery, and new horizons — Kepler Club today operates five facilities across three international airports. At Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), where the brand launched, Kepler is the airport’s second-largest tenant and its only in-terminal accommodation provider. At Riga International Airport (RIX), Kepler opened the first airport capsule hotel in the Baltic region in July 2024, with 74 private sleeping cabins across landside and airside zones. At KLIA, Kepler operates two hotels, and its modular DoubleKep cabin design was recognised with the FAB Silver Award for Airport Sustainability.
