| 7:45am | Top Story with Thanneermalai Somasundaram of Thannees Tax Consulting Services: As we approach 2025 and the tax filing season in April, it's always good to get a head start on fulfilling our fiscal duty to the country. For 2023, Malaysia's tax revenue stood at 12.6% of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is below the World Bank's minimum ideal level of 15%. Nevertheless, tax incentives may provide some much-needed relief to help cope with the rising cost of living. Helping us unpack the tax reliefs available for the 2024 assessment year is Thanneer-malai Soma-sun-daram, Managing Director of Thannees Tax Consulting Services. |

How far have we progressed towards that path this year, and can global momentum for renewable energy be sustained under the incoming Trump presidency? We review the year in energy with Dhana Raj Markandu of ISIS Malaysia. |
