00:04 In our cover story this week, we explore transforming the economy through energy transition
00:09 with Minister of Economy, Rafizieh Ramli.
00:12 The transition is not just about generating renewable energy
00:15 for sustainability and environmental compliance.
00:18 Ramli sees it as structural reform that can sharpen
00:21 the nation's competitive edge to draw investments.
00:24 Other points of discussion include whether the early retirement of coal plants is on the cards
00:29 and features of the transparent pricing model.
00:32 In city and country, we put the spotlight on Rawang.
00:35 Rawang has certainly come a long way from its days as a tin mining town.
00:40 With well-established amenities and reasonably priced homes,
00:43 it is benefiting from the increased demand for landed property.
00:47 In options, it is all about live music venue Bobo KL and its co-owner, Sean Ghazi.
00:52 Ghazi, who is also Bobo KL's artistic director, talks about giving the venue a new lease of life
00:58 while supporting and championing Malaysia's arts fraternity.
01:02 Digital Edge this week is about navigating the bumps in the EV industry.
01:06 The government has put in place incentives to encourage consumers and manufacturers
01:10 to transition to electric vehicles.
01:13 But that may not be enough to drive their adoption nationwide.
01:17 Stakeholders outline what more needs to be done.
01:20 Wealth explores ASEAN becoming a compelling investment destination.
01:24 ASEAN has always been associated with oil economy stocks in the past,
01:29 but its hardware technology sector is looking attractive
01:33 on the back of multi-year high foreign direct investment inflows.
01:37 Details in this week's edition of The Edge.
