E-invoicing era begins in Malaysia

The assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has shocked the world, and Malaysia has issued the strongest condemnation of the attack, reported China Press and Sin Chew Daily

Adding fuel to the fire, the social media platform Meta suddenly removed a photo and post of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar meeting Haniyeh, prompting the Prime Minister’s Office to reprimand Meta and demand an explanation and apology.

Kwong Wah Daily headlined that Malaysia’s total population in 2024 is estimated at 34.1 million, compared to 33.4 million in 2023, reflecting a growth of 1.9%, according to a statistic, released by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM).

Guang Ming Daily front-paged that in the case of the 21-year-old assailant’s attack on the Ulu Tiram Police Station, the assailant’s five family members had faced nine charges on June 19. 

Yesterday, Johor Bahru Sessions Court set the case to be heard on September 2.

Today Malaysia officially entered the era of e-invoicing, reported Nanyang Daily. 

Many small businesses and SMEs are still complaining about being unprepared, but they need not worry, they have a six-month grace period to adapt to and embrace e-invoicing, reported the daily.

Editorial

Europe and the U.S. are imposing anti-dumping tariffs on China, which restricts China’s ability to export its products.

Malaysia should be cautious of trojan horse tactics when attracting foreign investment.

China might seek to export more of its goods to Malaysia, potentially flooding the market with low-priced products that could threaten local businesses, said the daily.

Trojan horse tactics in business involve presenting a seemingly beneficial offer to gain an advantage while hiding a hidden agenda.

The daily emphasises that it is the government’s responsibility to address this issue.
