Impact investing need not mean sacrificing returns, panellists at the Malaysia Private Capital Forum 2026 say, as investors increasingly look beyond ESG labels to measurable outcomes while Malaysia’s alternative financing platforms grapple with exits, governance and repeat capital.
Malaysia private capital is entering a new phase as shifting global conditions create opportunities to move up the value chain, strengthen the country’s regional position and turn emerging economic challenges into new areas for investment, Deputy Finance Minister Liew Chin Tong said.
After years of delays and legal setbacks, justice has finally prevailed for Dato’ Sri Najib Razak. The former Prime Minister was granted a Discharge Not Amounting to an Acquittal (DNAA) in the long-standing RM27 million SRC 2.0 money laundering case, bringing an end to his drawn-out legal battle.
Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur hari ini memutuskan untuk melepas tanpa membebaskan (DNAA) bekas Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak dan bekas Ketua Setiausaha Perbendaharaan Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah, berhubung tuduhan pecah amanah melibatkan RM6.6 bilion dana kerajaan. Keputusan ini dibuat berikutan kelewatan prosedur dan kegagalan pendakwaan untuk menyerahkan dokumen penting, dan disambut dengan kelegaan oleh pihak penyokong Najib, yang percaya bahawa kes ini tidak mempunyai asas yang kukuh.
