JAPAN SAYS IT SENT MSDF PERSONNEL TO BLACK SEA MINE-SWEEPING EXERCISE IN 2024 - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel


Japan sent 10 Maritime Self-Defense Force personnel to a multinational mine-sweeping exercise in the Black Sea in September 2024 as part of its cooperation with Ukraine, Defense Minister Gen Nakatani said Tuesday.


The Sea Breeze exercise, cohosted by the United States and Ukraine since 1997, aims to promote freedom of navigation, stability and security in the region. Japan first took part in 2021 by sending an observer, the Defense Ministry said.


Nakatani told a regular press conference that the safety of MSDF personnel during the training, held in Bulgaria's territorial waters last year, was ensured through coordination with coastal countries, dismissing concerns about drifting mines.


Asked why the MSDF had not made public that it had sent personnel, Nakatani said, "We did not actively announce it in consideration of various factors, such as the fact that no vessels were dispatched and only a small number of members participated."

RENOWNED ART MUSUEM IN KANAZAWA TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE FOR REPAIRS - KANAZAWA JAPAN

RENOWNED ART MUSUEM IN KANAZAWA TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE FOR REPAIRS - KANAZAWA JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel


A renowned art museum in Kanazawa will be temporarily closed from around May 2027 for repairs due to aging facilities as well damage sustained in the 2024 New Year's Day earthquake that rattled central Japan, the city government said Tuesday.


The 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa is expected to reopen after March 2028. The museum, noted for photogenic spots such as "The Swimming Pool" exhibition area, has been popular with tourists visiting the historical city in Ishikawa Prefecture since its opening in 2004.


The city said equipment and facilities including air conditioning must be renovated, while the glass ceiling of an exhibition area damaged in the deadly temblor needs to be fixed.


The city plans to complete its repair plan by March 2026.


The museum has been one of the notable tourist spots in Kanazawa, along with Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen, one of Japan's most famous gardens.


The museum won a Golden Lion award at the ninth Venice Biennale International Architecture Exhibition in 2004, and its architects won the 2010 Pritzker Prize, dubbed the Nobel prize of architecture.


The museum received over 1.5 million visitors within the first 18 months after its opening, according to the Japan National Tourism Organization.

MALAYSIA'S OIL PALM REPLANTING STILL BEHIND TARGET JUST 2 PCT REPLANTED IN YEAR 2024

MALAYSIA'S OIL PALM REPLANTING STILL BEHIND TARGET JUST 2 PCT REPLANTED IN YEAR 2024

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel


KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 25): The progress of replanting oil palm trees is still lagging, with Malaysia managing to replant 114,000ha or 2.0 per cent of its total planted area in 2024, down from 132,000ha (2.3 per cent) in 2023.


Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said this was below the recommended annual target of 4 to 5 per cent or approximately 285,000ha per year.


He said increasing yield is pivotal to securing the palm oil industry’s longevity and the government has made replanting a priority to boost productivity without expanding land use.


“Replanting is a critical issue that must be tackled immediately, as it directly impacts the industry in the long run.


“To secure future yields, this long-term commitment must begin now to ensure the continued growth and resilience of the sector. This is especially important as Malaysia has committed to ensuring that no further deforestation will take place due to palm oil,” he said in his keynote address at the 36th Palm and Lauric Oils Price Outlook Conference (POC 2025) today.


The minister said that while efforts to increase replanting rates are being intensified, it is crucial to ensure that only high-quality planting material is used.


“As many of you know, smallholders remain a significant but vulnerable group in the palm oil industry due to a lack of scale. Thus, they may be susceptible to dishonest practices by certain nurseries.


“The government will continue to focus on protecting the interests of the industry as well as the over 450,000 smallholders. To ensure that only high-quality seeds are used in replanting efforts, the government, through the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), will conduct random checks to ensure that nurseries are selling the right product,” he said.


To address challenges such as ageing palm trees and stagnant yields, he said KPK is working closely with the Ministry of Finance to increase grant assistance for oil palm replanting and streamline the application process for smallholders.


“Other growers and players along the supply chain are also eligible for numerous tax incentives, such as Investment Tax Allowance (ITA), Reinvestment Allowance (RA), Green Technology incentives, and various others, reflecting Malaysia’s commitment to supporting all stakeholders in the industry,” he added.


On artificial intelligence (AI) in the palm oil industry, Johari said the sector cannot shy away from new technologies and must fully embrace advancements to remain competitive.


“The use of AI in production processes is essential, as it can boost efficiency, reduce reliance on foreign labour, and ensure the highest standards of quality and sustainability.


“Recently, I visited one of the top palm oil mills in Kuala Kangsar, which operates at a capacity of 45 metric tonnes per hour. They introduced me to an AI-powered system that significantly enhanced their operations. By integrating AI, they achieved savings of approximately RM2.7 million annually,” Johari said.


He said the savings stemmed from reduced oil losses, lower maintenance costs, and a 33 per cent reduction in manpower requirements.


“I strongly encourage industry players managing the 453 palm oil mills in Malaysia to explore and adopt this technology. The cost of implementation is approximately RM5 million per mill, but with the potential savings and efficiency improvements, the return on investment is well justified.


“This is a crucial step in increasing yield and reducing operational costs. By adopting AI-driven solutions, we can enhance productivity without expanding land use, ensuring that Malaysia’s palm oil industry remains competitive and sustainable in the global market,” he added.

PETRONAS WAITING FOR DETAILS ON COOPERATION WITH PETROS - KUALA LUMPUR MALAYSIA

PETRONAS WAITING FOR DETAILS ON COOPERATION WITH PETROS - KUALA LUMPUR MALAYSIA  

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel


KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 25): Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) said it is waiting for the details of discussions between the federal government and Sarawak state government on the scope of cooperation between the national oil firm and Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros).


President and group chief executive officer Tengku Tan Sri Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz said the details would be the basis of all working arrangements between Petronas and Petros moving forward.


“We await the details that will be agreed upon in principle, both by the federal government and Sarawak state government, before we can proceed with materialising all working arrangements; this has to be carefully done,” he told reporters after the announcement of Petronas’s financial performance for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2024 (FY2024) here today.


Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim recently said the federal government will meet the Sarawak state government to detail the scope of cooperation between Petros and Petronas.


He said the discussion is to explore the cooperation to be undertaken by both companies involving any new projects in any field.


Meanwhile, Tengku Muhammad Taufik stressed that the national oil firm remains open to collaborations with Petros regarding the state’s hydrocarbon resources.


“We will have to do this carefully.  We want to ensure that the interests of both (federal and state governments), as cited by the prime minister, are looked after,” he said.


Tengku Muhammad Taufik explained that all contracts leading up to the Distribution of Gas Ordinance will remain in full force.


“And in fact, Petronas has not behaved irresponsibly; we have not denied anyone any more deals. But as this unfurls, I think there needs to be a realisation that the longer this lasts, the more uncertainty will emerge amongst investors and buyers.


“Thankfully, the positive note is that the principles are coming closer between the prime minister and Sarawak chief minister. We will work out the details. There is no animosity here or lack of communications,” he said.


Responding to questions about oil exploration in Sabah, Tengku Muhammad Taufik said Petronas sees more opportunities in the state moving forward.


In its Malaysia Bid Round 2024, Petronas, through Malaysia Petroleum Management, successfully signed two production-sharing contracts, SB306A and SB306B, located off the coast of Sabah.


“They are more technically challenging than deeper waters, and we must deal with impurities. So, it will be a margin-challenged environment, but there are promising prospective resources that will be brought forward,” he added.

TRAVELER AT KANSAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OSAKA CONFIRMED INFECTED WITH MEASLES; CAUTION URGED - TOKYO JAPAN

TRAVELER AT KANSAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT OSAKA CONFIRMED INFECTED WITH MEASLES; CAUTION URGED - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel


On February 14, a resident of Aichi Prefecture began to feel hot. In addition to a fever, the woman eventually developed a rash, cough, and intestinal inflammation, leading to a medical examination in which a measles infection was confirmed and announced by the Osaka Prefectural government on February 21. The woman, who is in her 20s and had received measles vaccinations twice at some point in her life, is now hospitalized and undergoing recovery treatment, but what makes the situation still concerning is that prior to her diagnosis she appears to have traveled overseas via Kansai Airport, one of Japan’s largest international air hubs.


On February 14, the woman took an airline-operated highway bus from Nagoya Staton in Aichi to Kansai Airport, departing at around noon and arriving at approximately 3:30 p.m. She then spent the next two and a half hours inside the airport’s Terminal 1, which is used for both domestic and international flights. The infection announcement states that the woman “had traveled to Vietnam” prior to her diagnosis, which would account for why she was back in Kansai Airport’s Terminal 1 a week later on February 21, from about 4 to 6 in the evening. She then traveled to the Hatago Inn Kansai Airport, a hotel in Izumisano City just across the water from the island which makes up the airport, where she stayed at the hotel from about 10:30 p.m. until noon the next day.


This is Osaka Prefecture’s second confirmed case of measles infection this year, with the other, seemingly by coincidence, also announced on February 21. In an apparently unrelated case, a girl (whose age has been given as “under 10 years old”) was diagnosed with measles after developing a fever, cough, and rash. The child has no history of measles vaccination, and contact tracing efforts determined she was at the Lalaport Kadoma/Mitsui Outler Park Osaka Kadoma shopping center in Kadoma City on the evening of February 15 for roughly 40 minutes from about 5 p.m., and at the Hanaten branch of drugstore Matsumoto Kiyoshi in Osaka City on February 17 from approximately 6:10 to 6:50 p.m.


After infection, it can take as much as three weeks for measles symptoms to show, so health officials are urging anyone who happened be travelling through Kansai Airport or staying or shopping at the other above-mentioned locations on the specified dates to pay close attention to their physical condition over the next few weeks and consult a doctor if they begin to feel feverish or develop a cough or rash.
