  • Bursa Malaysia spotlights leading investor relations practices at inaugural IR Awards 2026

    Bursa Malaysia spotlights leading investor relations practices at inaugural IR Awards 2026

    Bursa Malaysia Berhad (Bursa Malaysia) held the inaugural Bursa Malaysia IR Awards 2026 on 4 September 2026 to recognise excellence in investor relations (IR) and encourage higher standards of transparency, engagement and market communication among public listed companies (PLCs).

    The Awards recognised 32 winners across eight main categories, celebrating PLCs and IR professionals who have demonstrated a strong commitment to investor engagement, market communication and corporate transparency.

    Delivering the keynote address at the Awards, Tan Sri Johan Mahmood Merican, Secretary General of Treasury, Ministry of Finance Malaysia, said effective investor relations is important in strengthening the quality and competitiveness of Malaysia’s listed companies.

    “By communicating openly and consistently with investors, public listed companies enable better-informed investment decisions and demonstrate their commitment to transparency and accountability. As we continue enhancing the competitiveness and quality of Malaysia’s listed companies, effective investor engagement will remain an enabler of long-term value creation and sustainable market growth,” he said.

    Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, said, “There is considerable opportunity to strengthen investor relations capabilities across the market. As companies, markets and investor expectations become more sophisticated, effective investor relations goes beyond communicating performance. It helps investors understand how a company is positioned for the future.

    “The Bursa Malaysia IR Awards recognise companies and professionals who are setting a high standard for transparency, engagement and market communication. By spotlighting these practices, we hope to encourage more listed companies to strengthen their investor relations capabilities and help raise standards of investor engagement across the market.”

    Based on Bursa Malaysia’s research, only 32% of listed companies have a dedicated internal IR function, while 17% outsource the function and 51% operate without any formal IR structure. This highlights the opportunity to further strengthen investor relations capabilities and enhance issuer-investor engagement across the market.

    Bursa Malaysia has been building IR capabilities through IR4U, which provides practical guidance and learning opportunities for PLCs. Around 690 listed companies participated in the programme across 2024 and 2025.

    These efforts are complemented by MY Value Up, jointly introduced by the Securities Commission Malaysia and Bursa Malaysia, which encourages companies to strengthen fundamentals while articulating their strategies and priorities more clearly to the market. While the initiative focuses on 88 leading PLCs, its resources and opportunities are available to all listed companies.

    Malayan Banking Bhd was among the top winners, taking Best Company in IR, Best Financial Reporting and Best Large-cap Company in IR for Financial Services. Its President and Group CEO, Dato’ Sri Khairussaleh Ramli, was named Best CEO in IR, while Tenaga Nasional Bhd received Best Sustainability Communications.

    The Bursa Malaysia IR Awards 2026 winners were determined through a market-led evaluation involving local and international investors and analysts, supported by independent verification and Bursa Malaysia’s due diligence review.

    Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) and Prudential BSN Takaful Berhad (PruBSN) launch BSN Takaful Legasi, a new family takaful solution that helps Malaysians build financial security through every stage of life. Together, BSN and PruBSN currently provide financial protection to more than 600,000 customers across Malaysia, representing over RM47.9 billion in basic sum covered.

Customers who continue with their certificate over the long term are also rewarded through the Legacy Bonus, while selected milestones such as marriage, the birth of a child, home ownership, and Hajj or Umrah are recognised through the Life Celebration Benefit.

    Customers can also personalise their protection through flexible contribution payment options, a choice of protection terms and optional riders, allowing them to select coverage that best suits their financial goals and changing needs.

    “At BSN, we believe good financial planning is not only about building a secure future, but also protecting what matters most. Through our two-decade partnership with PruBSN, we remain committed to making quality protection solutions more accessible and relevant to Malaysians at every stage of life. BSN Takaful Legasi represents another important step forward in advancing this shared commitment,” said Encik Mujibburrahman Abd Rashid, Acting Chief Executive of BSN.

    PruBSN Chief Executive Officer, Shahrul Azlan Shahriman said, “Every stage of life brings new priorities and new responsibilities. As those responsibilities grow, financial protection should grow alongside them. BSN Takaful Legasi was developed with this in mind, offering customers protection that increases overtime while encouraging long-term financial planning. We are proud to continue working with BSN to make solutions like this available to more Malaysians.”

    BSN Takaful Legasi also provides additional accidental death coverage during festive seasons and while performing Hajj or Umrah, subject to the certificate terms and conditions. Eligible customers may also enjoy coverage without medical examination, subject to underwriting requirements.

    BSN Takaful Legasi is available at BSN branches nationwide and through BSN Wealth Planners. For more information, customers may visit their nearest BSN branch or speak to a BSN Wealth Planner.

    RHB and Bursa Malaysia expand investor outreach in Melaka

    Earlier this month, RHB Banking Group, in collaboration with Bursa Malaysia Berhad convened investors, listed company representatives, market practitioners and business leaders at the RHB-Bursa Malaysia Retail Corporate Day 2026 in Melaka, reaffirming their shared commitment to strengthening investor engagement and broadening participation in Malaysia’s capital market. The event was officiated by YAB Datuk Seri Utama Ab Rauf bin Yusoh, Chief Minister of Melaka, and attended by more than 200 participants from across the investment community.

    Dato’ Mohd Rashid Mohamad, Group Managing Director/Group Chief Executive Officer of RHB Banking Group said, “Investors today have access to an unprecedented amount of information. The challenge is making sense of that information and understanding what matters most. At RHB, we see value in creating platforms where investors can engage directly with businesses and market practitioners, gain deeper insights and build greater confidence in their investment decisions. These conversations play an important role in fostering a more informed investing community and supporting the continued growth of Malaysia’s capital market.”

    The Melaka edition forms part of RHB’s broader efforts to engage stakeholders across Malaysia through programmes tailored to the needs and interests of different communities and market segments, in line with the Group’s PROGRESS27 corporate strategy.

    Julian Mahmud Hashim, Chief Regulatory Officer of Bursa Malaysia Berhad said, “A strong capital market is built on participation, accessibility and trust. As the marketplace connecting investors and businesses, Bursa Malaysia remains committed to widening access to investment opportunities and strengthening engagement with the investing public. This collaboration with RHB reflects our shared commitment to broadening participation and ensuring that more Malaysians can benefit from the growth potential offered by the capital market.”

    The programme featured discussions on Malaysia’s economic outlook, market developments and emerging investment opportunities, alongside engagements with representatives from RHB, Bursa Malaysia and participating corporates. Additionally, participants were also introduced to RHB’s latest digital banking innovations, including RHB PAY, Malaysia’s first bank-owned unified payment gateway solution, and RHB Reflex 2.0, an enhanced corporate internet banking platform.

    YAB Datuk Seri Utama Ab Rauf bin Yusoh said, “Melaka’s economic transformation continues to gain momentum, with the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increasing by 3 per cent to RM50.2 billion last year from RM48.8 billion in 2024. This growth has been supported by strong investment activity, business expansion and the implementation of strategic development initiatives across the state.

    “This positive trajectory has been further strengthened by Melaka’s achievement of RM14.68 billion in investments in 2025, representing the state’s highest investment performance in more than two decades,” said Ab Rauf.

    In advancing the aspirations of the Melakaku Maju Jaya 2035 agenda, Ab Rauf added, “Partnerships between the government, businesses and financial institutions will continue to play a vital role in creating opportunities, strengthening economic resilience and delivering meaningful benefits for the people of Melaka.”

    Malaysia’s capital market reached a record RM4.3 trillion in 2025, reflecting its growing role in supporting capital formation, business expansion and economic growth. Retail investors accounted for almost one-third of trading activity on Bursa Malaysia, highlighting the increasing importance of investor education and informed participation.

  • PPA Launches #ISaveInPRS Year-End Treats 2026

    PPA Launches #ISaveInPRS Year-End Treats 2026

    More than half of PPA’s contributing members did not make a PRS contribution in a given year between 2020 and 2025, with an average dormancy rate of 59.4% over the six-year period.

    The trend highlights that pausing contributions is a common part of the retirement savings journey, reinforcing the importance of returning to the habit and staying consistent over time.

    In response, the Private Pension Administrator Malaysia (PPA) launches the #ISaveInPRS Year-End Treats 2026 campaign, running from 11 August to 31 December 2026, to encourage PRS members to restart, continue, and strengthen their retirement savings.

    Open to PRS members aged 54 and below, including new enrollees, the campaign rewards members based on their individual contributions during the campaign period.

    Taufiq Iskandar, CEO of PPA, emphasizes the necessity of embracing change and evolving to keep pace with modern demand and an ever-changing landscape.

    “Retirement savings is a long-term journey, and contribution patterns may change as individuals navigate different financial priorities. What matters is continuing to take steps towards building retirement savings. Through this campaign, we hope to encourage Malaysians to restart where they have paused and make saving more consistent over time,” said Taufiq Iskandar.

    Under the campaign, eligible members will receive one draw entry for every RM1,000 in accumulated gross contributions. Dormant members — those who registered before 1 January 2025 and have not made any contributions since then — will receive an additional two entries per RM1,000 contributed.

    Members who contribute through PRS Online will receive a further one entry per RM1,000 contributed, allowing those who qualify for both incentives to earn up to four entries per RM1,000.
    PPA’s data also shows that members who have made at least one contribution in 2026 have, on average, almost twice the lifetime savings of inactive members. Regular contributions can help members build savings progressively, benefit from cost averaging across different market conditions, and make better use of the RM3,000 annual tax relief for PRS contributions, subject to applicable tax rules.

    As of 30 June 2026, PRS had 695,869 members and approximately RM11 billion in assets under management (AUM). From 2018 to 30 June 2026, members’ net contributions totalled RM5 billion, while PRS funds collectively generated RM3.7 billion in investment returns, representing a 74% uplift on member contributions.

    For the period of 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2026, the top five performing PRS funds recorded an average one-year return of 49.3% versus 14.6% across 79 PRS funds. These were Public Mutual PRS Islamic Strategic Equity, Principal Islamic PRS Plus Asia Pacific Ex Japan Equity, Public Mutual PRS Islamic Growth, Principal Islamic PRS Plus Growth, and Hong Leong PRS Asia Pacific Fund.

    RHB launches Malaysia’s first bank-owned unified online payment gateway

    RHB Bank Berhad launches RHB PAY which gives businesses a single platform to accept digital payments and receive funds directly into their RHB accounts. Built, owned and operated entirely within RHB, the platform provides businesses with bank-grade security, automated reconciliation, enhanced cash flow visibility and faster access to funds.

    Dato’ Mohd Rashid Mohamad, Group Managing Director/Group Chief Executive Officer of RHB Banking Group, said, “RHB PAY reflects our continued commitment to advancing Malaysia’s digital economy by delivering innovative financial solutions that meet the evolving needs of businesses. As companies accelerate their digital transformation, they are looking beyond convenience and efficiency. They also want payment solutions that provide security, reliability and greater control over their cash flows. As a bank-owned solution, RHB PAY offers businesses greater assurance over the security of their funds and payment data. Backed by RHB’s banking infrastructure, governance standards and regulatory oversight, the platform enables businesses to transact with confidence, while staying focused on growing their business.”

    RHB PAY enables businesses to accept card payments, FPX and DuitNow Pay through a single integration. Additional payment capabilities, including e-wallets, QR payments, Direct Debit and Auto Debit, are expected to be introduced in Phase 2, targeted for rollout in the fourth quarter of 2026. The platform is designed for mid-sized enterprises, commercial businesses, corporates, and government-related institutions seeking a streamlined and scalable payment acceptance solution.

    Malaysia’s digital payments ecosystem continues to experience strong growth, with Bank Negara Malaysia reporting 18.4 billion e-payment transactions in 2025, a 25% increase from 14.7 billion in 2024. Through the integration of PayNet’s payment infrastructure, including FPX and DuitNow Pay, RHB PAY enables businesses to participate in this expanding digital economy while providing a secure and seamless payment acceptance experience.

    “RHB PAY is a bold step by RHB to create new value for its business and enterprise customers through a unified payment gateway. It shows how established financial institutions can unlock new growth opportunities by responding to evolving customer needs and bringing new solutions to the market. We are pleased to support this innovation through PayNet’s national payment rails. More importantly, it demonstrates the significant opportunities that remain for industry growth when participants focus on the needs of different customer segments,” said Praveen Rajan, Chief Executive Officer, PayNet.

  • Duopharma Biotech maintains robust revenue and profit growth momentum

    Duopharma Biotech maintains robust revenue and profit growth momentum

    Duopharma Biotech Berhad (Duopharma Biotech) reported a revenue of RM931.69 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, up 14.5% compared to revenue of RM813.70 million in financial year 2024. In line with increased revenue, profit for the year also saw robust growth, with profit before tax (PBT) for FY2025 growing 43.6% year-on-year to RM114.91 million, while profit after tax (PAT) for FY2025 went up by 39.6% year-on-year to RM87.46 million.

    The sustained double-digit growth was primarily driven by resilient demand from both the public and private sectors across all business segments, complemented by a one- off surge in insulin supply in the first half of the year following supply normalisation. PBT growth was mainly attributable to the higher revenue base, coupled with continued favourable Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) costs, positive foreign exchange movements and improved operational efficiency, which collectively enhanced profitability.

    Meanwhile, revenue in Quarter 4 of FY2025 stood at RM224.69 million, marginally higher compared to RM222.49 million in the preceding quarter, spurred by stronger demand from the private market, including a seasonally-influenced sales spike for an antiviral flu product, offsetting lower fourth quarter sales to the public sector.

    Wan Amir-Jeffery Bin Wan Abdul Majid, Group Chief Executive Officer of Duopharma Biotech Berhad, commented, “The robust growth in revenue and profit in FY2025 augurs well for Duopharma Biotech’s future potential. The Government’s healthcare policy initiatives and agenda, including 2.7% more healthcare funding year-on-year via Budget 2026 and a focus on improving pharmaceutical research and manufacturing for a stronger supply chain, laid out in the 13th Malaysia Plan, offer the potential for us to participate in achieving national healthcare goals, strengthening our position as a leading Malaysian pharmaceutical player.”

    New and Ongoing Contracts
    On 16 February 2026, Duopharma Biotech announced that the Government of Malaysia had accepted the tender offer from Duopharma (M) Sendirian Berhad (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duopharma Biotech) to supply insulin injections to the Ministry of Health’s facilities. The new contract, running until 5 February 2028, has a total estimated value of approximately RM52.54 million. Also on 16 February 2026, Duopharma Biotech announced that Duopharma Marketing Sdn Bhd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duopharma Biotech) and Biocon Sdn Bhd to supply Recombinant Human Insulin formulations under the Ministry of Health’s procurement by way of direct negotiation. The new contract will run until 15 May 2026, with a total estimated value of approximately RM65.08 million. The two new contracts are expected to contribute positively to the Company’s future earnings, barring any unforeseen circumstances. This will also contribute to better diabetes management in Malaysia by supplying high quality and cost- effective biosimilar insulin and insulin injections.

    As previously announced in 2024 and 2025, Duopharma Biotech is currently contracted to supply 100 products at a combined estimated contract value of approximately RM684.15 million to Ministry of Health facilities, until 31 December 2026.

    Wan Amir-Jeffery added, “In FY2025, the Group’s regional operations also recorded encouraging progress through improved market penetration and growing demand in key ASEAN markets. Looking ahead, the new leadership at Duopharma Biotech will remain proactively focused on enhancing operational efficiencies, optimising cost management strategies, and executing strategic initiatives. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Group aims to deliver a satisfactory performance for the financial year ending 31 December 2026.”

    In addition to Wan Amir-Jeffery taking on the leadership mantle at Duopharma Biotech, Rohayu Rosnani Binti Mohd Adanan has also been appointed the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer.

    For FY2025, Duopharma Biotech’s Board of Directors declared a second interim dividend of 3.05 sen per share (2024: 2.0 sen) equivalent to RM 29.34 million (2024: RM 19.24 million). This brings the total dividend for FY2025 to 4.55 sen per share (2024: 3.0 sen), amounting to approximately RM43.77 million, an increase of 51.7% from FY2024. The entitlement date and the payment date of the second interim dividend will be on 13 March 2026 and 30 March 2026 respectively. The Board of Directors has resolved that the Dividend Reinvestment Plan shall not apply to the aforesaid interim dividend.

  • Tealive expands FMCG Footprint through Jaya Grocer

    Tealive expands FMCG Footprint through Jaya Grocer

    Tealive has launched its 3-in-1 premix beverage range at Jaya Grocer, the leading mass-premium supermarket chain, to bring its café-style drinks into Malaysian homes through everyday retail channels.

    Loob Holding Founder and CEO Bryan Loo said the move came amid sustained growth in Malaysia’s at-home beverage segment, with more food and beverage operators expanding into packaged formats to diversify revenue streams and reduce reliance on outlet traffic.

    “Our partnership with Jaya Grocer has been an important part of Tealive’s journey, dating back to the Covid period when we first introduced our DIY Bubble Tea Kit to bring the Tealive experience into Malaysian homes. Today’s launch of our Tealive 3-in-1 premix range marks another meaningful milestone as we extend that experience into everyday routines,” he said.

    “This collaboration allows consumers to enjoy their favourite Tealive beverages anytime, anywhere, while reinforcing our commitment to making café-quality drinks more accessible. As we continue to evolve into a complete beverage lifestyle brand, this retail expansion reflects our vision of becoming a seamless part of Malaysians’ daily lives, whether in-store or at home, plus offers an opportunity to leverage existing brand equity in new consumption occasions.”

    The collaboration positions Jaya Grocer as Tealive’s strategic retail partner for this expansion, providing a curated supermarket platform and access to a broader consumer base seeking convenient, café-quality beverage options for at-home consumption.

    Under the rollout, consumers can choose from milk tea, coffee and chocolate series. The milk tea range includes Signature Milk Tea, Gula Melaka Teh Tarik, and Milk Tea Matcha; the coffee series comprises Signature Coffee, Coffee Hazelnut, and Caramel Macchiato; and the chocolate range features Signature Chocolate, Chocolate Hazelnut, and Salted Dark Chocolate.

    A key flavour signature across the range is Tealive’s brown sugar profile, incorporated into selected variants to replicate the brand’s popular caramelised brown sugar taste in premix form.

    Jaya Grocer is the first supermarket chain to offer Tealive’s mixed-flavour 3+1 Fun Packs, designed for families and office settings seeking variety and value.
