AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Cross-border power push: Sarawak is stepping up its “Battery of ASEAN” plan, already exporting electricity to West Kalimantan since 2016 and to Sabah from Dec 13, 2025, while aiming to export at least 30MW to Brunei (in negotiation/feasibility) and up to 1,000MW to Singapore (conditional approval received in Oct 2025; technical talks started after Malaysia’s security clearance in Dec 2025 and Singapore’s maritime approval in Feb 2026). Regional resilience despite politics: Mindanao Development Authority says infrastructure and energy-linked projects in the BIMP-EAGA corridor nearly quadrupled from 57 (2017) to 265 this year, with 104 projects in the Philippines concentrated in Mindanao and Palawan. Anti-fraud cooperation: An International Security Alliance workshop in Singapore focused on stronger cross-border action against cyber-enabled scams. Eid al-Adha timing: The Dhul Hijjah crescent has been confirmed globally, with Eid al-Adha set for May 27. Hajj logistics: Saudi Arabia’s Hajj Terminal at Jeddah airport will operate May 18–June 16 for pilgrim arrivals and departures.
