14 Licensed Cigarette Importers Under MACC Probe For Smuggling

/

PETALING JAYA, The 14 companies being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for allegedly smuggling tobacco, cigarettes, and cigars were found to have valid import licences. MACC said smuggled tobacco, cigarettes, and cigars resulted in more than RM250 million in lost tax revenue between 2020 and 2024. According to an MACC source, the probe—part of Op Sikaro—is still ongoing, with statements already taken from company directors and representatives, Utusan Malaysia reported. “So far, raids have not uncovered any use of fake tax stamps, but investigations are continuing,” the source said. The firms are suspected of making false declarations during imports, such as using wrong customs codes or altering product details. On Aug 20, it was reported that MACC raided these companies, which are believed to have caused over RM250 million in lost tax revenue between 2020 and 2024. The raids covered business premises and owners in the Klang Valley and Johor linked to the tobacco, cigar, and liquor trade. Authorities have since frozen about RM218 million in both personal and company bank accounts. The customs department has also suspended several import licences to assist the probe. The source added that some enforcement officers are suspected of being involved in the smuggling activities. The raids were carried out by MACC’s special operations division, together with the Inland Revenue Board, Bank Negara Malaysia, and the customs department.

Shopee Rai Lokal Spotlights Dododots and Siti Khadijah as Leaders of Innovation Through ‘Cerita Kita, Cara Kita’

/

Shopee joins in on Merdeka celebrations, proudly championing local brand growth. KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 August 2025 – In celebration of Merdeka, Shopee is spotlighting homegrown brands that embody the spirit of innovation through its ‘Cerita Kita, Cara Kita’ initiative. This year, the platform proudly highlights Siti Khadijah and Dododots, two Malaysian success stories that have redefined their industries and grown with Shopee’s support, proving that local brands can thrive both at home and abroad. (From left) Khairul Idham Ramdzan, Chief Operating Officer of Siti Khadijah; Esther Erin, Chief Marketing Officer and Co-Founder of Dododots; and Ethan Wong, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Dododots. Siti Khadijah: Pioneers in Premium Prayerwear Siti Khadijah started from humble beginnings as a small brick-and-mortar store and has since grown into Malaysia’s leading modest lifestyle brand with a strong digital presence. The brand has redefined women’s prayerwear, turning it from a simple necessity into a premium, thoughtfully designed expression of faith and comfort. Dedicated to nurturing purposeful lifestyles for Muslim families, the brand continues to grow across Malaysia with 60 stores while expanding its presence in Singapore and Indonesia through Shopee’s International Program, which helps homegrown brands reach customers beyond borders. The Back Story: Bridging Faith and Comfort From her humble beginnings in Bangi, Selangor, Puan Padzilah Enda Sulaiman set out to solve the daily struggles women faced with ill-fitting and uncomfortable prayerwear. “She saw how women often had to rely on pins and makeshift adjustments to keep their prayerwear in place. In response, she created the original facial design that gave a secure, perfectly fitting experience, laying the foundation for Siti Khadijah as we know it today,” explained Khairul Idham Ramdzan, Chief Operating Officer of Siti Khadijah. Over time, this innovation not only reshaped the prayerwear market but also found a wider audience through platforms like Shopee. Operating mainly through physical stores and door-to-door marketing, the company underwent a major transformation during the pandemic. Khairul noted, “Seizing the opportunity presented by evolving consumer demands, we focused on building our online presence. This way, we reduced our reliance on physical stores and provided a hassle-free online shopping experience through Shopee, which helped us connect with more Malaysians nationwide.” Today, the brand also focuses on broadening the perception of prayerwear beyond age or generation. “We want to show that prayerwear can be meaningful for women of all ages. That’s why we introduced modern designs, colours, and fresh marketing approaches that resonate with younger women while keeping the essence of prayerwear intact. And because of the quality of our prayerwear, gifting it has become a normal part of today’s gifting culture. Shopee adds to this by making it easier for customers across Malaysia to share our products as thoughtful gifts.” Khairul explained. Siti Khadijah and Shopee Team Up Siti Khadijah’s journey with Shopee began during the pandemic, with the platform playing a key role in driving the brand’s innovation. “When adopting the online shift, Shopee was the natural choice, given its presence nationwide so we can connect with consumers wherever they are,” says Khairul. “Shopee Ads helped us reach the right audience, while campaigns like Payday Sale, Double Digit Sales, and Hari Raya let us test creative bundles and vouchers that excited shoppers. Shop Decoration also allowed us to retain our offline branding online, helping us carry the same brand essence from our physical stores,” he adds. The platform’s tools have also been useful in helping them reach new customers while continuously refreshing how they present their products. “Shopee Live and Shopee Video lets us highlight fabric quality, comfort, and everyday use, while affiliates help extend our reach through authentic reviews and recommendations,” says Khairul. From a brick-and-mortar store to a thriving digital brand, Siti Khadijah continues to strengthen its presence on Shopee by investing in Shopee Ads and hosting more live sessions. The brand also leverages Shopee’s International Program to expand overseas, supported by the platform’s value-added services like logistics and customer support. Siti Khadijah’s Growing Footprint As the brand continues to expand, Siti Khadijah has always believed that innovation starts with listening. Khairul mentions, “Shopee’s analytics tools and customer engagement features, such as Shopee Live and Shopee Chat, allowed us to gather direct feedback and understand customer preferences. This has become a source of daily motivation for us to improve our offerings.” Khairul remarked, “To meet evolving customer needs, we experiment with sustainable fabrics like Tencel and EcoVero, combining style and function in products such as our Rayyan Thobe. We also visit local and international exhibitions to scout the latest fabrics and technologies.” As part of its strategy to stay ahead, the brand will strengthen its presence on Shopee with more livestreams, videos, and affiliate marketing, expanding beyond prayerwear and reaching younger customers and men through targeted campaigns. The Premium Prayerwear Legacy Having supported the brand’s growth early on, Shopee has witnessed Siti Khadijah evolve into a trusted name in comfortable prayerwear, transforming a market once filled with generic, low-innovation products. Emerging as a leader in this niche, Khairul shared, “We believe Siti Khadijah has set a new gift-worthy standard, proving that modesty and elegance can go hand in hand. Today, prayerwear is not just a necessity, it’s a lifestyle.” On that note, the brand cites how proud they feel whenever a member of the team visits mosques and sees their products being donned on by Malaysians from all age groups. With Shopee providing a platform to reach and engage these communities nationwide, it’s a reminder that Siti Khadijah’s innovations have sparked a shift, transforming prayerwear from a purely functional item into something thoughtful, stylish, and meaningful. Dododots: How Young Malaysians Redefine Skincare Dododots began as an idea between two Malaysian science graduates, Esther Erin and Ethan Wong, who wanted to redefine skincare with colourful pimple patches that turned into a symbol of self-confidence. Today, with the support of Shopee, they now sell in over 5,500 retail stores across Malaysia and 10 countries, inspiring young entrepreneurs with their

Boost’s Group CEO On Profit, Partnerships, And Building A Fintech Legacy

/

Not long ago, Boost was best known for making small payments easier — whether at a mamak stall or a bubble tea shop. Today, it has grown into one of Malaysia’s biggest cashless champions. Backed by Axiata Group, Boost started as a pioneer in e-wallets and has since expanded into a regional fintech player. Last year, it launched Boost Bank, Malaysia’s first homegrown digital bank. Now, the question is bigger: Can a player from KL stand tall against Southeast Asia’s fintech giants? What Does Success Mean for Boost? Sheyantha sees success in two ways: Helping Malaysians — especially underserved groups and small businesses — access digital financial tools on a single platform. Expanding carefully across Southeast Asia while staying profitable. Indonesia, Cambodia, and Bangladesh are early test markets. The aim? Build a multi-billion-dollar company with real profit, not just hype. Turning Telco Data into a Fintech Edge Boost’s biggest advantage comes from its synergy with Axiata. By working with CelcomDigi, Boost taps into call data records (CDR) to measure creditworthiness — giving access to financing for people invisible to traditional credit bureaus. This model, already tested in Indonesia, could be replicated across the region. The strategy is about embedding Boost’s services into telco apps and digital platforms people already use — instead of competing as a standalone app. The Path to Profitability Boost is targeting profitability this year. Its merchant arm, Boost Connect, is already profitable. Consumer lending, especially through PayFlex, has been a growth driver in the past 18 months. Lower costs in cash-in and customer acquisition have also helped. Instead of chasing new users, Boost now focuses on deepening relationships with existing ones and diversifying revenue to ensure sustainable growth. Building a Legacy Beyond Profit Sheyantha says the company’s ambition isn’t only financial. In the next three to five years, Boost wants to be: A multi-billion-dollar fintech leader in Southeast Asia. A talent hub that nurtures the next generation of fintech founders and leaders. “I take no greater pride than knowing someone learnt here and went on to build their own startup,” Sheyantha shared.
