Credit : Alliance Bank KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 (Bernama) -- Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad (Alliance Bank) and Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots Malaysia, a youth-led action programme, will collaborate on financial literacy and biodiversity awareness for schoolchildren over the next two years. According to a joint statement, the partnership, formalised today with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two parties, would begin with the 2025 AEIOU Financial Literacy and Biodiversity Programme in Sabah. The transformative initiative aims to nurture young leaders with practical money management skills and ecological awareness, and under the theme 'AEIOU for Responsible Living: Smarter Finances, Caring for Nature, Greener Choices', the programme would engage 160 pupils from 20 schools in Kota Kinabalu, Penampang, and Tuaran. 'The programme will be conducted through an immersive blend of physical and virtual workshops, project-based learning, and interactive simulations,' the statement read. Alliance Bank Group Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Dr Aaron Sum, was quoted in the statement as saying that, 'By teaching schoolchildren to make smart financial choices while understanding their impact on the environment, we're shaping a generation that's not just money-wise but planet-wise too'. Meanwhile, Roots & Shoots Malaysia President T.P. Lim said Roots & Shoots Malaysia had worked closely with local NGOs and corporate partners in Malaysia to co-create programmes for young people that connect the head to the heart, leading to long-term behavioural change, for the past ten years. 'In this unique collaboration, we are excited to work with the talented team from Alliance Bank and thrilled to have biodiversity knowledge being introduced to young school children in such a fun and engaging way,' he said. According to the statement, AEIOU, a flagship CSR programme by Alliance Bank, was first introduced in 2015 and had engaged over 150,000 primary school children over the span of seven editions, offering financial literacy workshops, biodiversity game simulation, and 'Biodiversity Challenge'. The use of comic storytelling, virtual currency, and eco-preneurship simulations further enhances engagement, making learning both meaningful and memorable.

Johan: Government to closely monitor potential impact from ongoing geopolitical tension

KUALA LUMPUR — The government is closely monitoring the ongoing geopolitical situation and its potential impact on the Malaysian economy, particularly in the wake of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) expansion. Treasury Secretary-General Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican said the high level of uncertainty due to geopolitical developments in the Middle East draws a premature conclusion on how it might influence inflation and the cost of living domestically. 'I do recall back when we had the Ukraine war, there was just so much uncertainty. We don't know to what extent the situation may escalate and how that might impact the economy. 'Initially, we had thought that the Russia-Ukraine war would not affect us much because we do not have much trade with either country. We were quite wrong. It turned out that Ukraine was the major supplier of feed. Therefore, we suddenly saw an increase in agricultural inputs, which impacted prices,' he said at the Concorde Club session today. Johan said given the ongoing conflict is in the Middle East, there will be some impact on oil prices, one of the key factors in Malaysia's inflation outlook. He said oil prices have been fluctuating significantly, having started the year in the mid-US$70 range, dipped to the low US$60 last month and recently climbed again amid regional instability. 'But at least, year-to-date, inflation has remained below 2.0 per cent thus far. We saw a Maybank estimate of an impact of 0.25 per cent on the consumer price index (CPI) as a result of SST. 'Our internal estimates are in that order of magnitude as well. But if the situation escalates, we certainly need to see how that impacts in terms of economic growth,' he said. For now, Johan said the ministry will continue to monitor developments and adjust its economic strategies as needed to maintain price stability and protect Malaysians from sudden cost-of-living pressures. The expanded SST to improve national fiscal stability without overburdening the public is set to take effect from July 1, 2025. The government expects additional SST to increase by RM5 billion in 2025 and by RM10 billion in 2026 following the review and expansion of the tax scope. On RON95, Johan said the government remains committed to rationalising fuel subsidies through a targeted approach, with the implementation of RON95 petrol subsidy reforms anticipated in the second half of 2025. 'The exact timing and structure are still subject to Cabinet decision,' he said. He said the move mirrors earlier reforms undertaken for electricity tariffs and diesel subsidies, which introduced tiered pricing mechanisms to protect lower and middle-income groups while curbing leakages. — BERNAMA
