  • Penyanyi Terkenal Hafiz Suip Mengeluarkan Single Terbaru Berjudul ‘Terus Bersinar’

    Hafiz Suip, namanya tergolong dalam senarai penyanyi terkenal, menjulang bakatnya di puncak seni. Pelbagai pengiktirafan sudah diterima, menjadikan namanya bersinar dalam liga tersendiri yang memukau peminat-peminat seni.

    Bercakap soal lagu, mana mungkin boleh melupakan lagu “Awan Nano”, “Noktah Cinta”, “Ku Akui”, “Bahagiamu Deritaku”, “Kisah Cinta Kita” dan banyak lagi. Malah, deretan lagu yang sudah dihasilkan masih menjadi siulan hingga kini.

    Daripada hubungan bersama bapa, adik beradik, suami isteri hingga kekasih, mesej yang diketengahkan menerusi lagu yang dihasilkan cukup menyentuh hati. Bukan bersifat peribadi, tapi Hafiz cuba menyelami perasaan semua terhadap insan yang dicintai.

    Terbaharu, Hafiz, 33, atau nama sebenar Mohamad Hafiz Mohamad Suip muncul dengan single berjudul “Terus Bersinar” terbitan syarikat rakaman Nova Music.

    Menariknya, lagu ciptaan komposer Mas Dewangga dan Jova Devito serta lirik oleh Datuk Arisz Ab Rahman JP, Mas Dewangga dan Jova Devito itu adalah kerjasama pertama Hafiz bersama mereka.

    Menurutnya, lagu “Terus Bersinar” yang bergenre balada itu membawa mesej untuk anak.

    “Sepanjang kerjaya, saya sudah merakamkan lagu yang menceritakan mengenai lumrah kehidupan yang semua orang lalui. Contohnya, lirik lagu Matahari mengisahkan hubungan kesusahan adik-beradik. Lagu Awan Nano pula menceritakan pengorbanan seorang ayah manakala lagu Kisah Cinta Kita adalah terjemahan kasih sayang antara suami dan isteri.

    “Jadi, untuk lagu Terus Bersinar ini, mesej yang ingin disampaikan pula adalah mengenai anak. Boleh dikatakan, dalam karier saya setiap lagu ada jalan ceritanya yang tersendiri dan semua lagu itu juga ada kisah kehidupan yang mempunyai mesej,” katanya.

    Berkongsi lanjut mengenai lagu itu, Hafiz berkata dia terus jatuh cinta dengan lagu itu ketika kali pertama mendengar melodiya.

    “Lagu ini masih lagi bergenrekan balada. Cuma ada sedikit sentuhan alat muzik tradisional Sarawak iaitu Sape, itu pun pada penghujung lagu. Masa pemilihan lagu ini, saya dengar lagu ni memang terus tertarik dengan melodi dan lirik. Itu yang membuatkan saya terus bersetuju untuk rakamkan sebagai single terbaru saya.

    “Kalau baca setiap bait lirik lagu ini, memang sesuai ditafsir berkaitan anak. Saya percaya lagu ini nanti insya-Allah mendapat tempat di hati pendengar. Begitu juga dengan video muzik lagu ini yang mana memang menceritakan mengenai ibu bapa yang menjaga dan membesarkan anak daripada kecil hingga besar. Pendek kata, anak itu ditatang bagai minyak penuh,” katanya.

    Mengenai kerjasama dengan Mas Dewangga, Hafiz bertuah kerana dapat merakamkan lagu ciptaan komposer yang kian meningkat naik dengan sentuhan lagu balada yang mampu menarik perhatian pencinta muzik tanahair.

    “Mas Dewangga seorang komposer yang bagus di mana bila saya dengar karya dihasilkan semuanya segar dan memang trend masa kini. Lagu balada yang dihasilkan diberi sentuhan yang membuatkan lagu itu bertambah sedap didengar.

    “Macam sekarang, peminat suka dengan lagu-lagu balada dari Indonesia. Jadi, apa saya perasan, karya Mas Dewangga pun ada sentuhan bunyi itu. Kebetulan saya pun suka,” katanya.

    Dalam masa sama, Hafiz berharap lagu “Terus Bersinar” bakal menjadi sebuah karya pilihan dan diminati oleh semua seperti kebanyakan lagu-lagunya sebelum ini.

    “Insya-Allah, apa-apa pun kita berserah kepada Allah. Namun, tidak mahu terlalu berharap. Pun begitu, saya sebagai penyanyi yang menyanyikan lagu ini, apa boleh dikatakan adalah saya dapat rasa mesej yang ingin disampaikan. Saya sendiri menangis. Jadi, harapnya peminat dan pendengar juga dapat merasainya, insya-Allah,” katanya.

    Menariknya, lagu “Terus Bersinar” turut dipilih menjadi lagu tema drama bersiri 30-episod terbitan Mache All Star United berjudul ‘Surat Dari Tuhan’ yang akan bersiaran di slot Samarinda, TV3 mulai 30 Oktober ’23.

    Single “Terus Bersinar” Hafiz Suip dipasarkan pada hari yang sama dengan tarikh mula siaran drama bersiri tersebut dan boleh mula distrim di semua perkhidmatan penstriman muzik pada 30 Oktober‘23.

  • UNDERSTANDING THE NUMBERS: MALAYSIA’S FERTILITY RATE DIPS TO 1.6 CHILDREN.

    In its latest release, the Department of Statistics, Malaysia, has unveiled the Vital Statistics publication for 2023. This extensive report provides a detailed breakdown of birth and death statistics, segmented by demographic characteristics, at the national, state, and administrative district levels for the year 2022. These statistics, encompassing significant life events, serve as crucial inputs for policy formulation and program planning in areas such as population management, healthcare, education, employment, and more.

    Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin, Chief Statistician Malaysia, highlighted that “the total fertility rate (TFR) in 2022 declined to 1.6 children for every woman aged 15–49 years as compared to 1.7 children in 2021. This fertility rate was the lowest in five decades.

    4.9 children per woman in 1970 Since 1970 up to 2012, the national TFR was still above the replacement level of 2.1 children, which indicates that the average number of children born per woman throughout her reproductive life has been sufficient to replace herself and her partner. However, the TFR started to decline below the replacement level from 2013 onwards. This declining trend in fertility rate is signaling the potential for a demographic crisis, such as population growth shrinking, an aging population, and economic and social implications. Based on the Principles and Recommendations for A Vital Statistics (Revision 3), United Nations Statistics Division (2014) manual, the replacement level of 2.1 children is the average number of children a woman would need to give birth by bearing a daughter who survives to childbearing age. If the replacement level of fertility is sustained over a sufficiently long period, each generation will exactly replace herself and her partner regardless of population migration”.

    For the period of 2011 to 2022, the TFR for all major ethnic groups in Malaysia has shown a declining trend. The highest TFR was recorded by Malay, with 2.1 children per woman aged 15–49 years. Meanwhile, Chinese recorded the lowest TFR of 0.8 children. At the state level, all states recorded TFR below the replacement level except three, namely Terengganu (2.9 children), Kelantan (2.7 children), and Pahang (2.1 children).

    Malaysia, along with several developed countries such as the United States of America (1.7 children), Australia (1.7 children), the United Kingdom   (1.6   children),   Japan (1.3 children), and the Republic of Korea (0.8 children), have observed a trend of fertility rates falling below the replacement level. Similar trends have also been observed in ASEAN countries, namely Viet Nam (1.9 children), Brunei Darussalam (1.8 children), Thailand (1.3 children), and Singapore (1.1 children), while the Philippines (2.7 children), Lao PDR (2.5 children), Cambodia (2.3 children), Indonesia (2.2 children), and Myanmar (2.2 children) were above the replacement level.

    For the past five decades, TFR has been declining in all selected countries, with a varying declining pace according to their level of fertility. There are few countries that have faced a decline in the level of TFR below the level much earlier, namely the United Kingdom (1973: 2.0 children), Japan (1975: 1.9 children), and France.

    (1976: 2.0 children), Australia (1977: 2.0 children), and Singapore (1977: 1.8 children). Therefore, France and the United Kingdom have proactively responded to the issue of declining TFR, which could potentially lead to a demographic crisis. They have pursued a strategy of increased migration to bolster their population numbers and labor forces. This approach aims to mitigate the potential economic and demographic challenges associated with declining fertility rates, such as aging populations and labor shortages.

    Meanwhile, he also added, “The number of live births was 423,124 births in 2022, a decrease of 3.8 percent (16,620 births) as compared to 439,744 births in 2021. More male newborns were recorded than females, with 218,345 and 204,779, respectively.

    The decline in the number of live births has contributed to the decline in the crude birth rate (CBR) from 13.5 births in 2021 to 12.9 births per thousand population in 2022.

    All states recorded a decrease in CBR in 2022 as compared to 2021 except for Sabah, which showed an increase from 12.2 (2021) births to 12.8 (2022) births per thousand population. This report also presents the number of live births and CBR at the administrative district level in Malaysia. The highest CBR in 2022 was recorded by the districts of Song, Sarawak, and Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, with both districts recording 4.3 births per thousand population. Meanwhile, Kinabatangan, Sabah, recorded the lowest rate of 4.6 births.

    Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin also said, “The number of deaths in 2022 was 206,525 deaths, a decrease of 8.0 percent (18,044 deaths) as compared to 224,569 deaths in 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic. The crude death rate (CDR) also recorded a decrease from 6.9 (2021) to 6.3 (2022) deaths per thousand population. The number of male deaths in 2022 was 117,790, or 57.0 percent of the total deaths. Meanwhile, female deaths were 88,735 (43.0%)”.

    Besides that, CDR for most states decreased in 2022 as compared to 2021, except Perlis, Pahang, Perak, and Terengganu. W.P. Kuala Lumpur recorded the highest decrease of 1.7 points, from 6.8 (2021) deaths to 5.1 (2022) deaths per thousand population. Looking at the administrative district level, Kanowit and Song, Sarawak, recorded the highest CDR in 2022 with 14.3 deaths per thousand population, followed by Bukit Mabong, Sarawak (13.0), Selama, Perak (12.2), and Maradong, Sarawak (12.0). Meanwhile, the Kinabatangan district in Sabah recorded the lowest CDR with 1.9 deaths per thousand population, followed by Kalabakan, Sabah (2.0), and Samarahan, Sarawak (2.4).

    He added, “All age groups recorded a decrease in the number of deaths except those aged 0–14 years, which increased from 4,115 deaths to 4,754 deaths in 2022. The number of deaths aged 41–59 recorded the highest decrease, with a 20.4 percent decrease from 52,282 (2021) deaths to 41,640 deaths in 2022. Besides, the number of deaths for aged
    15–40 years and 60 years and over also recorded a decrease from 17,953 deaths to 14,830 deaths and 150,219 deaths to 145,301 deaths, respectively”.

    DOSM has launched OpenDOSM NextGen as a medium that provides a catalog of data and visualization to facilitate users in analyzing various data. OpenDOSM NextGen is an open-source data sharing platform accessible through the https://open.dosm.gov.my portal.

    The Government of Malaysia has declared National Statistics Day (MyStats Day) on October 20 each year. MyStats Day theme is “Statistics is the Essence of Life”.

  • Bursa Carbon Exchange Envisions a Greener Future, Adding Renewable Energy Certificates to Its Offerings

    Malaysia’s commitment to sustainability and carbon neutrality was underscored by the successful launch of Bursa Carbon Exchange (“BCX”), a subsidiary of Bursa Malaysia Berhad. This vital platform commenced trading and facilitating off-market transactions for carbon credits, bolstering the nation’s aspirations for environmental responsibility. During the initial two days of operation, BCX facilitated the transaction of 16,500 Verra-registered carbon credits, showcasing an encouraging uptake in the voluntary carbon market (“VCM”).

    “We are pleased with the successful go-live of the BCX trading platform. Bursa Malaysia’s efforts and agility underscores our speed-to-market in fulfilling a national mandate to facilitate the country’s shift towards a lower carbon economy,” said Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia.

    For the commencement of trading, two standardised contracts were offered – the Global Technology-Based Carbon Contract (“GTC”), focusing on global technology-based greenhouse gas (“GHG”) reduction projects, and the Global Nature-Based Plus Carbon Contract (“GNC+”), which features global nature-based GHG reduction projects with co-benefits in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (“AFOLU”) sector.

    Companies who took part in the go-live trading on BCX (beginning with the highest volume traded) were:

    • Vitol Asia Pte Ltd
    • Petro Ocean Sdn Bhd
    • Global Tunikara Sdn Bhd
    • Sumisaujana TCM Chemical Sdn Bhd
    • Green Innotech Sdn Bhd
    • Graphene Synergy R&D Sdn Bhd
    • Yinson Holdings Bhd
    • ICT Zone Asia Bhd
    • CIMB Bank Berhad
    • Sisma Water Technology Sdn Bhd

    “Interestingly, we observed a notable surge in participation by smaller companies, demonstrating the growing awareness of environmental responsibility among not just public listed companies, but also among small and medium-sized enterprises. While the participation of large corporations remains vital, this shift indicates that there is wider embrace of sustainability practices, which suggests future broader demand for decarbonisation projects,” added Datuk Umar.

    “Our aspiration is to offer a variety of environmental solutions based on market needs. We have received increasing requests from corporates seeking an independent and cost-effective platform for renewable energy certificates (RECs) transactions. Thus, we are pleased to announce our intent to offer RECs on BCX by the third quarter of next year. As a trusted and experienced exchange operator, Bursa Malaysia has a key role in the national energy transition, which is to facilitate financing in low carbon technologies, and accelerating availability of RECs,” Datuk Umar elaborated.

    The BCX is one of the many initiatives by the Exchange to complement proactive efforts by Malaysian companies to reduce their impact to the environment. “BCX will take time to build liquidity as it is in its infancy stage. In time, we are confident that our various ecosystem building efforts and offering of high quality environmental solutions will surely gain traction. We urge leading companies to step up and be early active participants of the BCX, either as a supplier or a buyer,” stated Datuk Umar.

    BCX is currently waiving its onboarding fee and offering a discount on its trading fee until the end of 2023. Companies who have yet to onboard or trade are encouraged to take advantage of the offer before the year ends. The BCX trading platform was co-designed and developed with Deon Digital AG, which is headquartered in Switzerland.
