Dua pemain industri yang berakar umbi di Malaysia serta disenaraikan di bursa antarabangsa kini bergabung tenaga untuk memacu inovasi dalam sektor kesihatan global, anti-penuaan dan kesejahteraan. Holista Colltech Limited (ASX: HCT) dan Swang Chai Chuan Limited (HKEX:2321) secara rasmi mengumumkan penubuhan usahasama strategik 50:50 melalui Ovicoll Pty Ltd, sekali gus menandakan satu langkah penting dalam usaha memperluaskan kejayaan serantau mereka ke pasaran global.
Kerjasama ini memberi tumpuan kepada pembangunan kemudahan pengeluaran kolagen nano berasaskan biri-biri yang berteknologi tinggi di Collie, Australia Barat. Usahasama ini menggabungkan kekuatan kedua-dua pihak, iaitu kepakaran saintifik serta inovasi bioteknologi daripada Holista Colltech yang tersenarai di Australia, bersama kekuatan modal dan rangkaian pengedaran luas Swang Chai Chuan yang tersenarai di Hong Kong.
Antara kelebihan utama perikatan strategik ini ialah pembangunan kolagen berasaskan ovine (biri-biri) yang bersifat neutral dari segi budaya dan agama, menjadikannya diterima secara universal serta berpotensi sebagai alternatif “halal” untuk pasaran global. Selain itu, kemudahan ini turut memanfaatkan kelebihan biosekuriti bertaraf dunia di Australia, yang menempatkan satu-satunya populasi biri-biri di dunia yang diperakui bebas Scrapie dan mempunyai risiko BSE yang sangat rendah menurut Pertubuhan Kesihatan Haiwan Sedunia (WOAH).
Keunikan ini diperkukuh lagi dengan kawalan sempadan ketat Australia sejak penubuhan persekutuannya pada tahun 1901, yang membantu mengekalkan status bebas penyakit tersebut. Usahasama Ovicoll Pty Ltd ini turut direka untuk mempercepatkan pengembangan pasaran global dengan memanfaatkan kekuatan gabungan kedua-dua syarikat dalam penembusan pasaran antarabangsa.
Sebagai sebahagian daripada strategi komersial, Holista turut memeterai perjanjian dengan Regenerex Pharma, sebuah syarikat yang sedang berkembang dalam sektor pembalut luka, bagi memperluaskan aplikasi teknologi kolagen ini dalam bidang perubatan dan penjagaan kesihatan.
Holista Colltech Limited (ASX: HCT) ialah syarikat kesihatan dan kesejahteraan yang disenaraikan di Australia dengan operasi utama di Malaysia. Syarikat ini memberi tumpuan kepada penyelesaian bioteknologi berasaskan sains merangkumi suplemen pemakanan, bahan makanan sihat, kolagen ovine dan kawalan jangkitan.

Emirates Group recorded its highest-ever profit for the 2025-26 financial year, posting a pre-tax profit of AED24.4 billion (US$6.6 billion), an increase of seven per cent compared to the previous year. The Group also achieved record revenue of AED150.5 billion (US$41 billion) despite facing operational disruptions across the Gulf region during the reporting period.
Emirates maintained its position as the world’s most profitable airline, reporting a pre-tax profit of AED22.8 billion (US$6.2 billion), up seven per cent year-on-year. The strong performance was driven by network expansion and the addition of new Airbus A350 aircraft equipped with the airline’s latest products and technologies.
Meanwhile, dnata also delivered an impressive performance, recording its highest-ever revenue of AED23.6 billion (US$6.4 billion) alongside steady profit growth, supported by increased airport operations, catering and travel services activities.
For the financial year ended 31 March 2026, Emirates Group also reported record cash assets of AED59.6 billion (US$16.2 billion), reflecting a 12 per cent increase compared to the previous year. The Group’s EBITDA reached AED41.1 billion (US$11.2 billion), highlighting strong operating profitability.
The Group declared a dividend of AED3.5 billion (US$1 billion) to its owner, the Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD). Following the increase in the UAE corporate tax rate from nine to 15 per cent due to the implementation of Pillar Two tax regulations, Emirates Group posted a profit after tax of AED21 billion (US$5.7 billion), up three per cent from the 2024-25 financial year.
Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, said the outstanding results demonstrated the resilience of Emirates Group’s business model, which is built on safety, innovation, service excellence, strong talent and strategic partnerships.
He noted that during the first 11 months of the 2025-26 financial year, demand for Emirates and dnata products and services remained robust, contributing to higher revenue and healthy profit margins driven by continuous investments in products, technology, branding and people development.
However, military activities in the Gulf region on 28 February significantly disrupted global commercial aviation operations, including in the UAE. Emirates and dnata responded swiftly by implementing measures to support affected customers and employees while ensuring operational continuity.
Sheikh Ahmed said Dubai’s position as a global aviation hub, supported by modern infrastructure and a strong aviation ecosystem, enabled UAE authorities to act quickly in securing safe commercial flight corridors. Operations at Dubai International Airport (DXB) have since gradually recovered, although passenger capacity has yet to fully return to pre-disruption levels.
He also highlighted the important role played by Emirates Group employees in ensuring the organisation remained agile and operationally efficient during challenging times. Sheikh Ahmed further expressed appreciation for Dubai’s leadership and its continued support for the aviation sector as a key driver of the emirate’s economy.
Throughout the 2025-26 financial year, Emirates Group invested AED17.9 billion (US$4.9 billion) in new aircraft, facilities, equipment and advanced technologies to support future growth. The Group’s workforce also expanded by eight per cent to 130,919 employees, including a growing UAE national workforce which now exceeds 4,000 employees.
Commenting on the outlook for 2026-27, Sheikh Ahmed said Emirates Group is entering the new financial year with a very strong cash position and solid business fundamentals. He added that the Group would continue its aircraft delivery and cabin retrofit programmes while maintaining investments in new facilities and world-class customer experiences.
During the year, Emirates expanded its network with four new destinations: Da Nang, Hangzhou, Siem Reap and Shenzhen. As of 31 March 2026, Emirates’ global network covered 152 cities across 80 countries. The airline also strengthened its strategic partnerships with 32 codeshare partners and 117 interline partners, providing customers access to more than 1,700 cities worldwide.
Emirates received 15 new Airbus A350 aircraft during the financial year, enabling the airline to offer more premium products, including Premium Economy Class and next-generation inflight entertainment systems. By the end of March 2026, Emirates operated a fleet of 277 aircraft with an average fleet age of 10.8 years.
Emirates’ revenue increased by two per cent to AED130.9 billion (US$35.7 billion), while profit after tax reached a record AED19.7 billion (US$5.4 billion). The airline carried 53.2 million passengers during the financial year, recording a passenger seat factor of 78.4 per cent.
As part of efforts to enhance customer experience, Emirates introduced high-speed Starlink internet connectivity across its aircraft and continued its US$5 billion cabin retrofit programme. To date, 91 aircraft have completed the full refurbishment process.
Emirates SkyCargo also delivered strong performance, handling 2.4 million tonnes of cargo, up three per cent from the previous year. The cargo division generated AED16.2 billion (US$4.4 billion) in revenue, contributing 12 per cent to Emirates’ total revenue.
In addition, dnata continued to strengthen its global operations as revenue increased by 12 per cent to AED23.6 billion (US$6.4 billion). The growth was driven by increased aviation and travel activities across key markets including Australia, Europe, the UAE, the United Kingdom and the United States.
dnata also invested AED858 million (US$234 million) to expand catering facilities, cargo operations and environmentally friendly ground support equipment. The company continued implementing sustainability initiatives, including the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), food waste reduction programmes and the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles in its operations.
On the social responsibility front, Emirates Group continued supporting community programmes through the Emirates Airline Foundation and the dnata4good platform, including initiatives focused on education, healthcare and welfare assistance for underprivileged communities worldwide.

Khairi Shahrin Arief bin Baki has assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), while Alan Inn Wei Loon has been appointed Country Head. In their respective roles, Khairi will oversee strategic businesses and local operations, while Alan will focus on driving regional and cross-border growth, marking a significant step forward for the firm as it begins the new year.
Khairi highlighted that Malaysia’s ASEAN Chairmanship and strong growth themes in digital technology, energy transition and healthcare helped CGS MY achieve several milestones in 2025. Looking ahead, he noted that the firm remains committed to facilitating vital partnerships and capital flows to support Malaysia’s ambitions for a high-growth, high-value economy. Leveraging CGS MY’s unique China-ASEAN heritage, the firm is well positioned to support collaborations between Malaysian and Chinese companies across sectors such as renewable energy, artificial intelligence and digital technology, spanning government-to-government, business-to-government and retail engagements.
In 2025 alone, CGS MY executed eight Memorandums of Understanding with public and private institutions, including collaborations with Bursa Malaysia and Shanghai-based Full goal Asset Management (HK) Ltd to facilitate the listing of foreign-underlying exchange-traded funds. The firm also continued to prioritize financial inclusion, expanding its financial literacy initiatives through innovative approaches such as gamification to better engage youths and first-time investors.
Under Khairi’s previous role as Co-Deputy CEO, CGS MY strengthened its retail, institutional and private wealth segments through innovative, market-relevant solutions, particularly in Islamic finance and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) offerings. One of the key highlights was the launch of fractional trading on the UP app for Bursa Malaysia’s top 30 companies — a market-first initiative aimed at improving market access and investment literacy among young adults, supported by CGS International’s award-winning research team.
As CEO, Khairi will continue to drive strategic and operational excellence with a strong emphasis on regulatory stewardship and market expansion. He added that CGS MY is entering 2026 on solid footing, supported by favorable macroeconomic conditions including Malaysia’s low exposure to global tariff risks, stable policy environments and a steady ringgit.

Drawing on his extensive investment banking experience, Alan expressed confidence in positioning Malaysia as a premier investment destination. He noted that Malaysia continues to outperform many ASEAN peers and is well placed to support regional businesses pursuing China Plus One strategies, particularly through cross-border initiatives such as the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zones.
Looking ahead, CGS MY is targeting RM3 billion in assets under management within three years, driven by growing investor participation in resilient domestic sectors and the implementation of national initiatives such as the National Energy Transition Roadmap and the New Industrial Master Plan. With China continuing to lead in technology and renewable energy sectors, CGS MY aims to connect local partners with opportunities arising from China Belt and Road 2.0 initiatives through its investment banking, asset and wealth management platforms.
Pelaburan Hartanah Berhad (PHB), a prominent real estate investment holding company in Malaysia, has embarked on a significant digital transformation journey through its adoption of GROW with SAP, a comprehensive solution by SAP SE designed to modernize core business operations using a standardized, cloud-based framework. Established in 2006 under Yayasan Pelaburan Bumiputra, PHB plays a key national role in expanding Bumiputera ownership of prime commercial real estate via its shariah-compliant unit trust fund, Amanah Hartanah Bumiputera (AHB). Today, the company oversees a portfolio exceeding MYR 11 billion, covering commercial, retail, healthcare, logistics, and education assets across Malaysia’s major urban regions. As PHB expands and strengthens its strategic business growth, it has consistently delivered stable returns to AHB unitholders. However, its rapid expansion also highlighted digital gaps, including outdated, fragmented systems that posed operational challenges. Recognizing the need for a unified, intelligent digital backbone, PHB selected GROW with SAP to streamline operations, enhance compliance, and increase efficiency.
Through this transition, PHB will migrate its finance, contract administration, and lease management functions into a single cloud-based ERP platform, creating an integrated digital environment that delivers real-time data visibility and automated workflows. This transformation is expected to eliminate data silos, improve accuracy, reduce compliance risks, and drive faster, more informed decision-making across the organization. PHB Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mohamad Damshal Awang Damit, emphasized that this move is a strategic investment aimed at future-proofing the organization and ensuring operational agility in an increasingly complex property market. SAP Malaysia Managing Director, Vipin Chandran, also noted that PHB’s adoption reflects a rising trend among Malaysian companies leveraging cloud innovation to stay competitive and resilient. With plans to go live by January 2026, PHB is also exploring future enhancements, including AI-driven insights and automation of key processes such as Procure-to-Pay, positioning the company for sustainable, technology-enabled growth in the years ahead.
