AEON CO. (M) BHD. (AEON) is set to transform the retail landscape in Negeri Sembilan with the groundbreaking of a new 4-storey extension to AEON Mall Seremban 2. The expansion is part of AEON’s commitment to meet the lifestyle and economic needs of Seremban’s rapidly growing population.

ASEAN Change Management Conference 2025 Returns with Stronger Regional Voice
Building on the success of its impactful debut last year, the ASEAN Change Management Conference 2025 (ACMC) returns to Kuala Lumpur on 1–2 October, uniting leaders and practitioners across Southeast Asia for bold leadership and a people-first focus.
With the theme ‘Advancing Results, Change Done Right!’, ACMC 2025 promises deeper regional engagement, stronger collaboration, and practical insights that go beyond theory into real-world transformation. Organized by K-Pintar Sdn Bhd, a leader in corporate learning and transformation for over 20 years, this year’s conference looks to position change not merely as a necessity, but as a skill to be honed.
“ACMC 2025 is about equipping leaders and change practitioners to implement change with precision and long-term impact. In a region as diverse and dynamic as ASEAN, change cannot be imported, it must be interpreted. And this year, we’re moving from awareness to action,” said R.A. Thiagaraja, Chairperson of ACMC and CEO of K-Pintar.
ACMC 2025’s speakers lineup includes experts from England, Poland, Africa, India, Singapore, and Malaysia — bringing global ideas together with local experience to talk about the real challenges in ASEAN. What sets 2025 apart is renewed emphasis on Asean-rooted strategies, candid conversations, and practical applications of change leadership, especially in sectors undergoing rapid transformation.
“We’re bringing together global experts and regional practitioners to co-create solutions that work here, not in theory, but in the trenches of actual transformation. If we want resilient organizations and empowered communities, we must stop treating change as a checkbox and start treating it as a core discipline”, added Thiagaraja.
The conference centers on five topics: Trends & Innovation, Organizational Culture, Psychology & Neuroscience, Change Leadership & Fundamentals, and Digital Transformation. These subjects will be explored through masterclasses, interactive workshops, leadership dialogues and design sprints, offering participants practical tools they can apply in real-world settings.
INTAN (the National Institute of Public Administration) has come on board as a strategic collaboration partner for ACMC 2025, bringing in the perspective of Malaysia’s public sector. This partnership reflects the government’s continued efforts to drive innovation and build a more forward-looking public service. It is in line with the values of Malaysia MADANI, which supports new ideas and changes that benefit the people.
The government’s training arm, INTAN fosters innovation through courses and workshops, including change management, guided by initiatives such as the Public Service Reform Agenda. It also offers leadership development programmes that draw on public sector best practices and global updates in management and policy,
INTAN hopes the public servants joining ACMC 2025 will stay updated and involved in global change management developments.
In addition, this year’s ACMC is expected to play a role in fostering the development of a long-term, ASEAN-based community of change practitioners. In collaboration with the PMI Malaysia Chapter, Institut Koperasi Malaysia (IKMA), PIKOM, GBS, Prosci (USA) and other international organizations, the conference aims to support the establishment of a sustainable regional ecosystem focused on advancing the profession of change management.
As organizations across ASEAN face increasing complexity, speed of change, and digital disruption, ACMC 2025 invites leaders, change practitioners, and decision-makers to step forward and shape a future that is bold, inclusive, and rooted in action.
ACMC 2025 is expected to attract 500 participants from across the region. The conference is now open for registration at https://aseanchangemanagementconference.com/.

Worldwide Entech receives Malaysia Book of Records recognition for first sanitary landfill converted into a recreational park
Worldwide Entech Sdn Bhd (Worldwide Entech), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Worldwide Holdings Berhad (WHB), has been officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the first company in Malaysia to successfully convert a sanitary landfill into a public recreational park. The award was presented to Datin Paduka Norazlina Zakaria, Executive Director of Worldwide Entech during the MBR30 Celebration of Delights held at One World Hotel, Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya.
The 100-acre site, located in Puchong, holds a long list of industry milestones. In 1995, it became Malaysia’s first engineered sanitary landfill, under the WHB Group. In 2004, the same site received Malaysia Book of Records recognition for another first - the successful implementation of a landfill gas-to-energy project, converting methane gas from decomposed waste into electricity.
This latest recognition highlights Worldwide Entech’s operational excellence and innovative approach to environmental rehabilitation, while also reflecting the long-term vision and leadership of WHB in sustainable waste management and green infrastructure development.
“This achievement by Worldwide Entech is a proud reflection of our Group’s ongoing commitment to environmental innovation and CSR,” said Datin Paduka Norazlina Zakaria.“To transform a former landfill into a thriving public space speaks to what sustainability truly means turning yesterday’s challenges into tomorrow’s shared value.”
The converted site now serves the community as a recreational park featuring landscaped open spaces, walkways, and public amenities built on internationally accepted post-closure landfill management standards. It stands today as a model of what purposeful land transformation can look like.
As the environmental management arm of WHB, Worldwide Entech continues to lead the way in delivering long-term solutions in waste management, aligned with the Group’s vision of creating sustainable value for Selangor and beyond. Worldwide Entech’s latest projects in delivering sustainable infrastructure and unlocking new potential for environmental management include the development of three waste-to-energy projects in Selangor.

Survey Shows Steady Advancement of Sustainability Efforts in Malaysia
Schneider Electric’s Green Impact Gap Survey Uncovers Key Barriers and Opportunities as Malaysia Prepares for a More Sustainable Future, with Tribeca Serviced Hotel Leading by Example
Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced that its annual Green Impact Gap showed a steady trajectory in sustainable transformation among businesses in Malaysia. The survey, in partnership with Milieu Insight, aimed to identify the intention-action gap among companies in Malaysia that undertake sustainable business practices, and the investment or tangible commitment required to achieve their internal goals. This year’s survey results launch was held at the Tribeca Serviced Hotel by Millennium, a smart building that embodies energy efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, and enhanced occupant comfort.
A total of 500 business leaders in Malaysia participated in the survey, where middle to senior-level executives were asked to respond to a series of questions about their sustainability priorities, goals, commitments, and efforts. The 2024 results showed steady progress in Malaysia’s sustainability efforts, with 93% of Malaysian companies reporting that they have set sustainability goals, and 45% have successfully turned those goals into actionable strategies. With a variance of less than 5% as compared to the 2023 results, the gap is considered stable.
Eugene Quah, Country President of Schneider Electric Malaysia, said: “In Malaysia, that future is already taking shape. The government has taken bold steps to embed sustainability into the national agenda. From the National Sustainability Reporting Framework to the mandatory ESG disclosures for listed companies, Malaysia is recognised for aligning itself with global standards such as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), ensuring transparency and accountability. This year’s results reflect a steady trajectory in Malaysia’s sustainability journey, with more work to be done for ambition to turn into action.”
The survey also identified key barriers and opportunities to narrow the gap by boosting momentum and supporting further initiatives to promote sustainable business practices. Respondents highlighted barriers such as economic uncertainties (56%), internal budget constraints (47%), poor incentives (46%), lack of priority (40%), and regulatory and policy issues (35%).
Schneider Electric Highlights Urgent Need for Proactive Sustainability in the Real Estate Sector
Schneider Electric has identified three critical areas where the real estate industry must take decisive action to drive sustainability and resilience.
Firstly, with climate change no longer a distant threat, businesses must shift from reactive to proactive strategies. By leveraging digital tools, predictive analytics, and integrated energy and sustainability management systems, organisations can monitor risks in real-time, forecast disruptions, and optimise energy usage, enabling them to reduce carbon emissions, cut costs, and meet rising ESG expectations.
Secondly, energy security remains a pressing concern, highlighting the need for diversified and resilient energy strategies. Schneider Electric advocates for the adoption of renewables, microgrids, and smart energy management to ensure that sustainability efforts are both impactful and future-proof.
Thirdly, Schneider Electric acknowledges that limited resources and internal resistance can hinder businesses' progress in complying with the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA). “That is why we work closely with our partners to align strategy with action, demonstrate quick wins, and embed sustainability into the core of business operations. When sustainability is treated as a strategic priority, it becomes a powerful driver of long-term value. That’s where we come in, not just with digital tools and technologies, but with support through partnerships, guidance, and shared expertise,” Quah said.
In line with the survey findings, a thought-provoking panel discussion was held under the theme "Narrowing the Green IMPACT Gap: Digitalisation for Greater Energy Efficiency in Buildings". The session brought together key voices in the energy and sustainability space, including Amutha Socklingam, Principal Assistant Secretary of the Energy Sustainability Division of the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA); Ir. Ts. Zulkiflee Umar, Director of Energy Efficiency & Conservation at the Energy Commission Malaysia; Wong Wen Chet, Executive Director of Millennium Welt Land Sdn Bhd; and Jackson Seng, Vice President of Digital Energy at Schneider Electric. The panel explored the critical role of digitalisation in accelerating energy efficiency and offered actionable insights for building owners and industry stakeholders.
Tribeca Serviced Hotel Charts a Bold Part, From Digitisation to Decarbonization
The timely launch and discussion were held at the Tribeca Serviced Hotel by Millennium, a smart building with reduced energy consumption, a lower carbon footprint, and enhanced tenant comfort. Tribeca leads the way in sustainable urban development, guided by Schneider Electric’s 3-step approach and supported by its EcoXpert partner, Advance Industrial Solutions Sdn Bhd also an Energy Service Company (ESCO) registered under Suruhanjaya Tenaga, setting a benchmark for others in the industry to follow.
“We are proud to lead the way in sustainable building transformation and to host the launch of the Green Impact Gap survey here at Tribeca,” said Wong Wen Chet, Executive Director, Millennium Welt Land Sdn Bhd. “Our journey toward decarbonization reflects what’s possible when innovation meets commitment. We hope our efforts will inspire other building owners and real estate players to take bold steps toward a greener, more energy-efficient future.”
