ALOR SETAR, June 21 (Bernama) -- The Chief of Air Force Gen Tan Sri Mohd Asghar Khan Goriman Khan expressed his hope that the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) leadership will carry on to focus on human capital by nurturing personnel trained and specialised in managing new and sophisticated assets in the current defence transformation era. He pointed out that it was important to boost the capabilities and readiness of personnel with new complex technology in line with the RMAF Capability Development Plan, CAP55. "I really hope that this matter (human capital development) will continue… to sent trainees to undergo expertise training (on) new technologies, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI) or more advanced technology. 'When these (high technology) assets reach us, we are ready … there's no need for any surprises when the equipment arrives,' he told reporters after the presentation of flight wings ceremony for Basic Flight Training Series 86/24 and Basic Helicopter Flight Training Series 66/24 at the Air Force College here today, where 27 trainees - 12 fixed wing pilots and 15 helicopter pilots from Flight Institute 1 and 2 - received their flight wings.

Mohd Asghar Khan, 60, has been Chief of Air Force since March 2022 and joined the service as a cadet officer at the Royal Military College before starting his career as a RMAF airforce fighter pilot in 1985. Bearing the call sign 'GUNJIZ', Mohd Asghar Khan last showed off his piloting skills when he flew a Sukhoi Su-30MKM at the recent 2025 Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition. -- BERNAMA

He said the key laws under the ministry's jurisdiction include the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and the Electronic Commerce Act 2006. 'Our aim is to finalise the review by the end of this year, including securing Cabinet approval on whether to introduce a new legal framework or amend existing laws to make them more conducive, comprehensive, and relevant to current challenges,' he told reporters after launching the Sabah-level 2025 Business Digitalisation Programme at Universiti Malaysia Sabah today. Armizan added that the review also seeks to identify gaps in existing legislation, assess regulatory scope, and benchmark Malaysia's e-commerce laws against international practices He said the review also considers issues and needs of both the industry and consumers, and will propose new legislation or amendments along with the most effective regulatory approach for Malaysia's e-commerce landscape. 'At present, there is no direct regulation of platform operators or sellers in the e-commerce space. No decision has been made yet on whether to introduce a licensing regime or adopt a compliance-based approach. 'Our objective is not merely to establish a legal framework, but to create a regulatory mechanism that supports the growth of businesses using e-commerce platforms.
