  • Over 54% of Malaysian employers are set for team expansion

    Over 54% of Malaysian employers are set for team expansion

    Ambition Malaysia has released its annual Market Insights & Salary Guide, providing an in-depth view of hiring trends, workforce priorities, and talent expectations. The report covers key industries across Malaysia, including technology, finance, human resources, engineering, supply chain, sales and marketing, banking and financial services, and global business services.

    This year’s report combines Ambition’s on-the-ground market observations with findings from our recent Quick Pulse Survey, which gathered close to 500 responses from employers and professionals across Malaysia, offering timely insight into how organisations closed out 2025 and how they are positioning themselves for the year ahead.

    Commenting on the findings, Matthew Cooper, Managing Director of Ambition Malaysia, shared that 2025 marked a shift toward more deliberate and purposeful workforce planning, “Organisations continued to invest in capabilities that strengthen long-term competitiveness, particularly in digital transformation, automation, compliance, sustainability, and supply chain resilience. At the same time, tighter budgets and slower approval cycles meant hiring became more selective, with a clear focus on roles that support business continuity and operational efficiency.”

    Across sectors, employers placed greater emphasis on internal mobility, succession planning, and upskilling, while professionals became more discerning in their expectations, prioritising stability, meaningful career growth, and hybrid flexibility when evaluating new opportunities.

    Key Findings from the Quick Pulse Survey

    • Hiring remains active, although decisions take longer – Hiring activity remains steady, with 54% of employers planning to hire over the next six months, although approval processes have lengthened due to increased scrutiny on business-critical roles.
    • Talent decisions are value-led, not just pay-led – While salary remains the single most important factor (27%), professionals are increasingly prioritising career growth (20%), company culture (17%), and flexibility (17%) alongside compensation when considering new opportunities.
    • Change is happening gradually, not disruptively – Change across the workforce continues to be measured, with 52% of employers using contract hiring selectively and over 60% of organisations still in the early or exploratory stages of AI adoption, largely focused on productivity and skills development.

    Looking ahead, The Malaysian job market is expected to maintain steady hiring momentum in 2026, supported by continued investment in digitalisation, shared services expansion, compliance-driven roles, and sustainability initiatives. For employers, success in attracting and retaining talent will increasingly depend on how well organisations balance cost with flexibility, culture, and long-term career development.

    For professionals, the outlook points to a more selective job market, where adaptable, cross-functional skillsets, digital fluency, and regional exposure will play a growing role in career mobility and competitiveness.

    Ambition’s 2026 Market Insights & Salary Guide provides sector-specific analysis and practical guidance for employers planning workforce strategies and professionals navigating their next career move.

  • MBSB Bank launches SBMB 5.0

    MBSB Bank today announced the launch of the fifth edition of its flagship savings campaign, Simpan Berganda Menang Bergaya (SBMB 5.0). The initiative continues the Bank’s focus on encouraging financial discipline and rewarding consistent saving habits among Malaysians.

    Following the strong participation recorded in the previous year, SBMB 5.0 will run throughout 2026. The campaign is designed to be inclusive, allowing customers to build their savings while becoming eligible for a rewards pool valued at RM2 million.

    Participation is open to both new and existing customers with a minimum earmarked deposit of RM2,000. By placing fresh funds or incremental deposits into designated accounts, customers qualify for rewards across multiple categories:

    • National Grand Prizes: Three premium SUV models: the Jetour T2, GWM Tank 300, and GWM Tank 500.
    • Regional Grand Prizes: Suzuki Jimny 5-door (complete with roof rack).

    Rafe Haneef, Group Chief Executive Officer of MBSB Bank, said, “We really want to change the conversation around saving in Malaysia. Often, people feel that growing wealth is only for a certain group, but with SBMB 5.0, we’ve intentionally kept the entry point at just RM2,000 to make it accessible for everyone. Our goal is to see more Malaysians building that financial safety net while having a bit of excitement doing it. Whether you’re just starting out or have been with us for years, this is about making disciplined saving something that feels achievable and genuinely exciting for people from all walks of life.”

  • Sarawak school team named Malaysia’s champion in VIA Safe Mobility

    Sarawak school team named Malaysia’s champion in VIA Safe Mobility

    TotalEnergies, together with Arus Academy, continue to strengthen student learning and leadership through the VIA Safe Mobility, a global educational initiative aimed at improving mobility conditions for young people. Now in its fourth year in Malaysia, the 2025 edition saw Team Safety Squad from SJKC Chung Hua Tudan, Miri, Sarawak, emerge as the Malaysian Champion for their strong school-wide engagement and impactful advocacy work. As national winners, the school secured a
    EUR 5,000 grant from TotalEnergies to implement and advocate their road-safety initiatives.

    Their participation also marked a proud moment for Malaysia at the VIA Safe Mobility Regional International Finals, where they competed in a group with champions from India, Iraq, and Romania — part of a broader field of 24 VIA-participating countries across the region.

    “Safety is a fundamental value at TotalEnergies, especially when it comes to the communities where we operate,” said Patricia Law, Sales Director of TotalEnergies Marketing Malaysia. “The VIA Safe Mobility programme reflects our commitment to equipping young people with practical knowledge and responsible habits that support safer journeys every day. We hope to continue empowering students to build safer school environments and be advocates for positive change.”

    “At Arus Academy, we believe that students learn best when they are given the opportunity to solve real problems that matter to them,” said David Chak, Co-Founder of Arus Academy. “The VIA Safe Mobility programme has shown how powerful this approach can be. Each year, we see students taking ownership of their projects, building critical thinking skills, and working collaboratively to advocate for safer mobility in their communities. Team Safety Squad’s effort is a strong example of how authentic learning can create meaningful impact.”

    Situated beside the high-speed Jalan Kuala Baram Bypass—officially recognised as one of Miri’s top five accident-prone roads—SJKC Chung Hua Tudan serves a large primary-school community. Its close proximity to fast-moving traffic makes road safety an urgent, daily concern for students and teachers alike.

    Against this backdrop, Team Safety Squad anchored their VIA project on the mobility challenges surrounding the school. Guided by teachers, the 10-member team conducted an on-site observational audit of the drop-off area and pedestrian zones, documenting vehicle flow and foot traffic during peak hours. Their recommendations included establishing a crosswalk directly in front of the school. They also identified critical behavioural risks, such as low helmet-safety awareness among Year 1 to Year 3 pupils and the use of old or damaged helmets among younger riders.

    To translate their findings into concrete action, the students submitted an official written request to the Miri City Council, calling for the installation of a designated zebra crossing outside the school.

    Team Safety Squad then rolled out a wide-reaching safety campaign under the theme “See + Go = Safe. Helmet On, Worries Gone,” combining school-based education with community engagement. This included the “VIA Safe Mobility Camp” reaching more than 1,200 pupils, drawing competitions, an interactive road-safety assembly attended by more than 60 teachers, a community Road Safety Carnival, a Walk for Safe Mobility at Taman Bulatan Miri involving parents and staff, and peer-to-peer engagement sessions at SMK Pujut Miri, which reached an additional 1,000 high school students.

    A key development has followed, with the city council initiating technical assessments for a designated crosswalk in front of SJKC Chung Hua Tudan. Engineers have already completed initial site measurements in response to the students’ request.

  • RHB launches comprehensive sustainable and transition finance framework

    RHB launches comprehensive sustainable and transition finance framework

    RHB Banking Group (RHB or the Group) has launched its Sustainable & Transition Finance Framework (STFF), a comprehensive framework in Malaysia structured to support customers at every stage of their sustainability transformation. Developed in alignment with global best practices, including the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) principles and the ASEAN Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance, the STFF has been fully validated by an independent Second-Party Opinion (SPO), Sustainalytics. This external validation underscores the robustness of the eligibility criteria and RHB’s dedication to financing a transparent transition for its clients and the broader economy.

    Dato’ Mohd Rashid Mohamad, RHB Banking Group Managing Director / Group Chief Executive Officer said, “RHB’s Sustainable & Transition Finance Framework serves as a strategic roadmap to accelerate the shift towards low carbon economy. By providing clear criteria for sustainable financing and investment, we are bridging the gap for hard-to-abate sectors ensuring they have the necessary resources to transition. This framework will not only help us to mitigate long term climate risks but also empowers our clients to innovate, ensuring that the transition to a sustainable future is both inclusive and economically viable.”

    Malaysia has outlined its aspirations through the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), which provides up to RM1.2 to 1.3 trillion investment opportunities for businesses to decarbonise as we transition towards a low carbon economy and net zero. For many companies, particularly those in high emission, hard-to-abate and resource intensive sectors, the transition pathway can be complex due to fragmented financing options. The STFF helps address this by offering a clear, consistent and accessible framework for corporates, GLCs and SMEs to mobilise capital for eligible sustainable and transition activities.

    “Sustainability is a long term commitment, and many businesses are navigating transition while managing real operational demands. Through the STFF, we want to make the sustainability pathway more achievable for our customers. Our role is not only to provide sustainable and transition financing, but also to be a purposeful partner in supporting them towards Net Zero,” added Dato’ Mohd Rashid.

    The launch event also featured a panel discussion themed “Decarbonisation: Are We Doing Enough to Achieve Net Zero?” with representatives from RHB, Solarvest, and Malaysia Forest Fund (MFF). The event concluded with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between RHB and MFF to further advance nature-based and transition solutions.

    RHB remains committed to delivering on its sustainability agenda under PROGRESS27, including its goal of mobilising RM90 billion in Sustainable Financial Services (SFS) by 2027. As at December 2025, the Group’s cumulative SFS exceeded RM59 billion, and represents close to 66% of its 2027 target.
    “When our customers’ progress, our communities progress. And when our communities progress, our nation progresses. The most sustainable decision is not waiting for certainty. It is choosing to begin,” concluded Dato’ Mohd Rashid.

    CGS International Securities Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“CGS MY”) today hosted a market engagement session with DeHeng Law Offices (“DeHeng”), a leading Beijing-based cross-border law firm, and Bursa Malaysia, aimed at bridging high-growth Chinese enterprises in the new economy looking for regional growth as well as opportunities to attract greater ASEAN investor participation in their businesses.

    The session focused on early-stage dialogue on Malaysia’s capital market framework, issuer readiness and expectations, as well as greater clarity on listing processes, with the aim of supporting well-governed, future-ready companies as they consider Malaysia’s capital market as part of their regional growth plans.

    Alan Inn Wei Loon, Country Head of CGS MY said, “As a leading gateway between China and ASEAN, CGS International is uniquely positioned to bridge capital and opportunity. Through our shareholders China Galaxy Securities and one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds, the China Investment Corporation (CIC), we have the platform and deep institutional networks across ASEAN and in China to enable companies and businesses to tap into unparalleled market insights and capital. Malaysia’s deep pockets of liquidity, asset diversity, highly developed capital market infrastructure and robust investor protection are key attraction factors. We look forward to collaborating with DeHeng Law Offices to intensify efforts to attract more companies from the new economy especially to raise their profile and capital amongst Malaysian investors – both institutional and retail, and to facilitating more cross border growth and opportunities for high-quality companies with China and Malaysia, ASEAN and vice versa.”

    Xu Jianjun, Deputy Director of DeHeng Law Offices, said, “Our multifaceted role is more than just bridging the complex regulatory and operating environment for our China issuers. Ensuring they are market-ready today goes beyond the rigour of complying with domestic financial, operational and governance standards to meeting sustainability requirements and expectation of value. By providing specialised legal advisory, we aim to facilitate mutually beneficial listings for both the issuers and Malaysia’s investment community.”

    In his welcome remarks, Julian Mahmud Hashim, Chief Regulatory Officer of Bursa Malaysia, said, “Malaysia is well positioned for companies seeking a stable base in Southeast Asia. For Chinese-funded enterprises, Malaysia can be a platform not only to build operations, but also to access regional opportunities. Bursa Malaysia offers different listing routes for foreign companies looking to tap into our equity capital market. We welcome dialogue with intermediaries and potential issuers, and will continue to support early-stage discussions and provide clarity on processes and expectations, so that promising companies can move from intention to execution with confidence.”

    The co-operation between CGS MY and DeHeng is designed to bridge “future-ready” companies from high-potential sectors, including technology, advanced manufacturing, renewable energy, and consumer goods with the robust capital raising ecosystem in Malaysia. By combining CGS MY’s regional connectivity and DeHeng’s cross-border legal capabilities, the co-operation aims to strengthen market understanding, improve preparedness, and support informed decision-making for companies evaluating Malaysia as a capital market destination.

  • RENN Asia establishes first Malaysia-China NFM collaboration

    RENN Asia establishes first Malaysia-China NFM collaboration

    RENN Asia Wellness (RENN), a home-grown brand focusing on Nutritional and Functional Medicine (NFM), is pioneering Malaysia-China cooperation in this field with the opening of a centre in Guangzhou, China.

    In collaboration with Jian Shi Tang (JST) of Guangzhou and adopting its Malaysian-developed NFM clinical framework, RENN will operate a first-of-its-kind wellness centre at the prestigious Leatop Plaza in Tianhe District of Guangzhou.

    This collaboration places Malaysia among the first in the region to export a full chronic-disease management model to China, starting with diabetes care.

    China is grappling with one of the world’s largest diabetes epidemics, estimated at more than 140 million adults. Rising complications and healthcare expenditures have accelerated the search for preventive and functional medicine solutions capable of reducing long-term disease progression.

    Despite strong national efforts, persistent gaps remain in preventive and functional care models, particularly those that integrate nutrition, root-cause investigation, lifestyle medicine, personalised diagnostics, and long-term monitoring. The introduction of a Malaysian-developed NFM framework is seen as a strategic complement to China’s evolving healthcare reforms.

    The Malaysian-led NFM initiative offers a structured, root-cause focused alternative. Rather than merely managing symptoms, NFM emphasises personalised assessment, lifestyle and nutrition intervention, metabolic optimisation and preventive care. By doing so, it aims to stabilise or even reverse elements of metabolic dysfunction, a critically needed tool in China’s fight against chronic disease.

    RENN Asia will supply not only the NFM protocols and programme design but also experienced Malaysian practitioners as advisers for the initial launch phase. This approach ensures that the first centre accurately reflects the rigorous standards and holistic philosophy developed in Malaysia through years of clinical experience.

    “Bringing a Malaysian-refined NFM framework into China shows that we can be a provider of practical healthcare solutions to other nations. Our role is not only to export knowledge, but to support JST in building a system that can sustainably transform community health outcomes in Guangzhou and eventually across China,” said Jonathan Chew, Founder and CEO of RENN.

    “For JST, we see tremendous potential in RENN Asia’s NFM framework. Its emphasis on personalised assessment and root-cause intervention aligns with the future direction of healthcare in China,” said JST lead medical practitioner Dr Dai Qi Ming.

    Both organisations plan to scale the partnership to other chronic conditions once the diabetes programme demonstrates stable outcomes. Future expansion areas include cardiovascular disease, liver and metabolic disorders, hormonal imbalances, and allergy-related conditions — all of which contribute significantly to China’s rising chronic disease burden.

    The joint initiative aims to generate long-term impact by reducing avoidable complications, lowering treatment costs, and improving clients’ independence and quality of life. Through this collaboration, Malaysia’s contribution extends beyond clinical expertise to knowledge export, professional capacity building, and regional health innovation.
