KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 (Bernama) -- PETRONAS and ENEOS Xplora (“ENEOS”) have reaffirmed their long-standing partnership, first established in 1995, through the signing of definitive agreements formalising ENEOS’ re-entry into Malaysia LNG Tiga Sdn. Bhd. (MLNG Tiga).
Subject to the fulfilment of certain closing conditions, ENEOS will hold a 10 percent equity stake in MLNG Tiga for the next decade, following the expiry of the previous MLNG Tiga Joint Venture Agreement in 2023.
The agreements were signed by PETRONAS Executive Vice President & Chief Executive Officer of Gas & Maritime Business, Datuk Adif Zulkifli and ENEOS Xplora Representative Director and President, Yasuhiko Oshida.
Witnessing the signing ceremony were PETRONAS Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy, Marina Md Taib and Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Head of Business Division 1, ENEOS Xplora, Jotaro Tomoeda.
The agreement marks a significant milestone in the enduring partnership between PETRONAS and ENEOS, reflecting shared commitment to strengthening long-term energy security and supporting reliable LNG supply to international markets, particularly Japan, amid an increasingly complex and volatile global energy landscape.
“LNG continues to play an indispensable role in the global energy mix, bridging the demands of today's economies while supporting a credible transition toward lower-carbon futures. With Asia at the centre of global LNG demand growth, stable supply and long-term partnerships remain fundamental to economic resilience across the region. The collaboration with ENEOS which now spans three decades reflects that long-term conviction, one that continues to serve the energy interests of both nations well into the decades ahead,” said PETRONAS President and Group Chief Executive Officer Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik.
ENEOS’ re-entry underscores continued confidence in MLNG Tiga’s operational resilience and long-term value proposition, as well as PETRONAS’ proven capabilities as a world-class LNG operator and trusted partner.
“ENEOS’ re-entry into MLNG Tiga reflects shared confidence in the asset’s resilience and long-term role within Asia’s LNG landscape. It also reinforces PETRONAS’ focus on building a reliable LNG system that continues to deliver value to customers and partners, particularly in important markets such as Japan,” said Adif Zulkifli.
“MLNG Tiga has been a project that has steadily supplied LNG to Japanese buyers since commencing operations in 2003, under the cooperation between our group and PETRONAS, and we are very pleased to be participating once again. While further strengthening our partnership with PETRONAS, we will also work closely with our fellow shareholders - the Sarawak State Government and Mitsubishi Corporation, to pursue new value creation during the energy transition.” said Yasuhiko Oshida.
The agreement reinforces continued foreign investor confidence in Malaysia’s investment climate and long-term growth prospects. This reflects the country’s strong fundamentals, supported by a stable regulatory framework and a conducive business environment that continues to attract long-term investments in the energy sector.

Nearly Half a Million Users Utilize Bitget’s AI-Trading Infrastructure, Messari Report Highlights
VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 30 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), highlighted findings from a newly published Messari Pulse report documenting early adoption across its AI trading stack, a four-layer product system built as part of Bitget's broader trading infrastructure serving 125 million users worldwide.
The Messari report identifies four core layers within Bitget's AI architecture: GetAgent for conversational market analysis, GetClaw for autonomous execution, Agent Hub for developer access to exchange functions, and Gracy AI, a strategic guidance interface built around the public market voice of Bitget CEO Gracy Chen. Together, these products extend AI across analysis, executions, infrastructure, and user engagement inside the Bitget platform.
According to Bitget data cited in the report, Gracy AI attracted more than 460,000 users and generated over 2.6 million replies within its first eleven days after launch in February, producing over 390 million impressions in the same period. GetAgent has also surpassed 450,000 registered users since its launch. Its invite-only phase, which ran from July to August 2025, drove 100 million+ impressions and a waitlist exceeding 25,000 users.
Messari also highlights Agent Hub, infrastructure layer for connecting AI systems directly to exchange functions. Launched in February 2026, it supports MCP Server, Skills, REST and WebSocket APIs, and a command-line interface. The report notes Bitget is the only exchange to offer all four simultaneously. The platform has since expanded to include five analytical AI Skills and 15+ integrated data tools spanning macro analysis, technical signal detection, sentiment monitoring, market intelligence, and news aggregation.
GetClaw, the autonomous execution layer, operates through a constrained structure designed for retail risk control. Trades execute via dedicated sub-accounts isolated from user-held assets, while sandbox environments and fund limits define where the agent can operate and how much capital it can deploy. The product is currently live on Telegram, with Discord, WhatsApp, and in-app expansion planned in later releases.
"We want to provide billions of people with the ability to trade like Wall Street professionals," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "AI is becoming part of how modern trading infrastructure is built. Early adoption across our AI infra shows that users increasingly expect analysis, execution, and strategy integrated inside one trading platform."

KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- Mavenir, the software company building artificial intelligence (AI)-by-design mobile networks, announced that its Converged Packet Core is now live in Rakuten Mobile’s nationwide mobile network, deployed on Rakuten Cloud Platform.
Mavenir, in a statement said the deployment plays a key role in enabling Rakuten Mobile to deliver multi-carrier roaming via ‘JAPAN Roaming’, a nationwide emergency service launched by Japan’s leading mobile carriers on April 1.
Mavenir Executive Vice President and General Manager, Packet Core, Security and Messaging, Michael Cooper said the deployment demonstrates how cloud-native packet core technology can support resilient, large-scale connectivity under extreme network conditions, contributing to public safety and service continuity.
Meanwhile, Rakuten Mobile General Manager of the Core Network Department, Ryo Watanabe said Mavenir’s cloud-native packet core is central to the operator’s role in JAPAN Roaming, enabling flexible and reliable connectivity when it is needed most.
Mavenir’s cloud-native packet core provides the scalable, resilient data foundation required for Rakuten Mobile to support cross-carrier access under emergency conditions, demonstrating how cloud-based core networks can strengthen national communications infrastructure and support service continuity at scale.
JAPAN Roaming enables users to temporarily connect to another domestic carrier’s 4G LTE network if their primary service is disrupted by major outages or disasters. The service supports 4G LTE voice, SMS and data, alongside an emergency-calls-only mode to maintain access to critical services.
Mavenir added that its cloud-native core portfolio supports voice, data, messaging, fraud protection and security, and is designed to scale with operators’ evolving service and resilience requirements—enabling faster service deployment, increased automation and improved responsiveness to changing network conditions.
The company also noted its long-standing relationship with Rakuten Mobile, including earlier deployments of cloud-native voice and messaging capabilities for Rakuten Link, supporting ongoing service innovation within the operator’s fully virtualised network.

CHINA’S NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE NON-GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE SECTOR VISITED MALAYSIA, EXPLORING PARTNERSHIP AND CROSS-BORDER HEALTHCARE COLLABORATION
 |
| MHTC and CNMIA Emblem Exchange |
MHTC hosted 30–40 senior Chinese healthcare leaders for hospital familiarisation programme under Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026 (MYMT 2026) initiative
KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- The Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) hosted a delegation of 30 to 40 senior healthcare decision-makers from the Chinese Non-government Medical Institutions Association (CNMIA) for a hospital familiarisation (FAM) visit from 26 to 30 April 2026. The visit, organised under the Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026 (MYMT 2026) initiative, introduced China’s largest private healthcare coordinating body to Malaysia’s medical tourism ecosystem through curated hospital tours and strategic discussions.
The visit took place amid accelerating demand from China. Healthcare traveller volume from China grew from 50,000 in 2021 to 121,000 in 2025, while revenue more than tripled, from RM54.4 million to RM200.4 million over the same period. The sharpest growth was recorded between 2023 and 2025, reflecting renewed confidence and stronger patient movement following the pandemic.
Commenting on the visit, MHTC Chief Executive Officer Suriaghandi Suppiah said: “We have seen remarkable growth in the trust and confidence that Chinese patients place in Malaysia’s healthcare system, and this visit reflects the depth of that relationship. CNMIA represents over 500,000 medical institutions across China, and their decision to bring senior decision-makers to Malaysia is a strong signal of mutual confidence. Our goal is to build enduring partnerships that benefit patients on both sides connecting China’s healthcare leaders with the clinical excellence and patient-centred care that define the Malaysia Healthcare experience.”
Approved by the State Council of China, CNMIA represents over 500,000 medical institutions, including approximately 27,000 hospitals. It serves as a key coordinating body within China’s private healthcare sector, connecting providers, investors, and policymakers while facilitating service standards and international collaboration.
For MHTC, engaging CNMIA signals a shift from broad market outreach to targeted institutional partnerships that directly influence referral pathways and cross-border collaboration. Chinese institutions are increasingly seeking stable, regionally accessible destinations for medical partnerships, and Malaysia’s combination of geographical proximity, competitive costs, multilingual support, and hospitality-driven care positions it as a compelling alternative within Asia.
The delegation comprised investors, hospital chairpersons, presidents, clinical leaders, and specialists in international medical tourism from leading non-government medical groups and specialty centres across China. As part of the programme, the delegation undertook a series of curated visits to several of Malaysia’s leading private healthcare institutions, including Alpha IVF & Women’s Specialists, Prince Court Medical Centre, Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Cengild G.I Medical Centre as well as our Flagship Medical Tourism Hospital Accolades Winner, Subang Jaya Medical Centre. These engagements provided first-hand exposure to Malaysia’s healthcare capabilities while creating opportunities for deeper institutional engagement and future collaboration.
Suriaghandi added: “MYMT 2026 is our invitation to the world to experience what Malaysia’s healthcare system has to offer. When CNMIA’s delegation visits our hospitals and meets our clinicians, they will see first-hand what Healing Meets Hospitality means in practice—clinical excellence delivered within an experience built around the patient. We look forward to welcoming them and to exploring how Malaysia and China can work more closely together in healthcare.”
