Spain, Malaysia and Indonesia have agreed to come together to develop the supply chain related to the Halal industry and also to push together for the acceleration of innovation in this area too.
Apart from this international partnership, Indonesia is also pushing for the development integrated halal industrial township where Halal-sector companies could choose to site within and make use of the integrated services to support their on-going business operations.
As a first step, Indonesia would roll out a supply chain master plan that would enable the traceability of the Halal products, from source to consumers. With this, they are expecting to also achieve gains in the development of the Sharia economy within the Halal industrial townships.
In addition, the government envisions for the Halal industrial township to enable an integrated value chain that could benefit everyone within the community in the hope that the synergy could improve the communities’ competitiveness in producing halal products

In this update, I shared about the following latest updates from Southeast Asia.
#Thailand – Panasonic’s investment into Modular Construction Housing and also their upcoming product launch of PM2.5 filtered Fans, antibacterial deodorisers and robotic care bed/wheelchair.
#Cambodia – Prince Group’s #ESG donation of USD$3 million to the Cambodian government to help the Covid-19 pandemic and also Prince Real Estate’s food donation to over 200 police officers who are involved in the on-going fight against the pandemic.
#Philippines – Mitsubishi Corporation’s new property development “Kizuna Heights” in Manila, catered for students and young professionals. Mainly one bedrooms and studios, and situated near to universities.
#Indonesia – Indonesia Central Bank keeping to policy rate of 3.5% and retained its expectations for growth, keeping its 4.3 to 5.3%.
#Vietnam – VINGROUP – Vietnam to open its long-awaited $2.8bn Phu Quoc United Center. The resort has the New Corona Casino with 1000 slot machines, close to 1000 electronic gaming machines and approximately 100 table games.
#Malaysia – SHENGTAI INTERNATIONAL GROUP LIMITED and IWG plc collaborating to open flexible workspace in Malaysia.
Vietnam will conduct a pilot programme to help the younger Vietnamese students to develop their linguistic ability by including more foreign languages in their education syllabus. This is part of the government’s plan to help the Vietnamese to navigate effectively across the global business landscape. The new pilot programme is supposed to support the country’s ongoing efforts to internationalise and the students will be able to choose to learn Korean, German, Russian, French or Chinese.
Apart from this, there are also on-going studies to understand how they could foster the mindset of international cooperation among its science and technology schools. According to the results of a recent study, it was proposed for the science and technology schools create more collaboration opportunities with overseas counterparts and also for their students to develop skills in areas like ability to find partners to cooperate with, presenting oneself professionally, communication skills amongst others. The study is still on-going.

At the moment, when we talk about the Electric Vehicles (EV) industry in Southeast Asia, Indonesia immediately comes to mind because of the country’s vision to be the EV hub of Southeast Asia by 2030. On top of this, EV makers around the world are in an intense race to secure raw materials that are found in Indonesia because these raw materials are essential for the production of EV batteries.
When we think of EV battery production, most start to think of Lithium, followed by Nickel and of the two it is Nickel which seems more likely to face a future period of short supply. Indonesia has vast resources of nickel. The country has about a quarter of the entire world’s supply. It is an increasingly important metal in batteries due to its properties that enable mass energy capabilities.
Interestingly, I’ve noted that there’s increasing interest by the European countries in Indonesia, and with it, a strong push towards helping Indonesia to transform into a circular economy.
Being a circular economy means that the country must focus on eliminating waste and put its lenses on reusing, sharing, repairing, refurbishing, remanufacturing and recycling. With these processes in place, they would be able to create a closed-loop system. This should essentially minimise the use of resource inputs and the creation of waste, pollution and carbon emissions.
However, environmental sustainability is another issue with questions routinely raised about the Nickel mining process and this has caused problems in Indonesia and the Philippines.
On one hand, China’s CATL and South Korea’s LG Chem are investing and tapping on the abundant reserves of nickel in Indonesia, which might raise sustainability and ESG concerns. On the other hand, Indonesia also aspires to be a circular economy with assistance from the UN and other European countries. Will the two initiatives clash and prevent Indonesia from becoming the EV hub of Southeast Asia?
Further up North, we have Thailand, which is already the region’s hub for automotive manufacturing and assembly. All along, the country has been aggressively promoting its automotive industry.
They’ve also done their part to become an EV hub and already attracted the likes of Mercedes and BMW. Mercedes-Benz has already begun local production of plug-in hybrid-batteries in Thailand with the opening of its new battery plant, which is located at the company’s vehicle manufacturing plant in Samut Prakan.
The battery systems manufactured in the new battery factory, are reportedly being built with very flexible and efficient production and facility concepts. The battery factory in Bangkok also uses large solar systems on the roofs of the production buildings. Excess solar power, for example, is temporarily store in so-called 2nd-life battery storage systems from recycled electric vehicle batteries.
The stationary storage systems can compensate for local energy fluctuations which contributes to grid stabilisation thereby, enabling resource-saving reuse for disused batteries of electric and hybrid vehicles.
All set up and ready-to-go with sustainability practices in place, Thailand can easily ramp up their production by preparing the Thais through reskilling and education programmes. The Environmental part of ESG, is already in place and they just have to make sure that both the Social and Governance aspects are being carefully taken care of and they are good-to-go.
With increasing focus on sustainability and ESG, will Indonesia face obstacles in their race to becoming the EV hub of Southeast Asia while Thailand coasts through?

Indonesia, supported by partners from Citibank, United Nations Environment Programme, The Indonesia Business Council for Sustainable Development, The Global Food Banking Network and others, wants to explore to create a business case for Food Loss and Waste prevention that could be used for the transformation of markets beyond Indonesia’s border.
The aim is to leverage innovative financial instruments that could incentivise Food Loss and Waste prevention across the entire supply chain and also to build sustainable markets where these financial instruments could be expanded at scale.
Indonesia is looking forward to contribute to the global P4G project to create a better future whereby financial models could be used to integrate sustainability in supply chain, resulting in Food loss and waste. They envisioned that this move might be able to deliver financial returns and they want to establish this platform in Indonesia, Mexico and South Africa.
By end of March, P4G will arrange for board meetings and network webinars to gather strategic input on the future direction of P4G and partnership priorities. They are also expected to gather a group of investors with the goal of driving investments into the possible Food Loss and Waste partnership.

As many are aware, Indonesia has become a battleground for the development and manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (EV). Right now, Indonesia encourages the production of nickel ore-related products, such as electric vehicle batteries, through local production capacity.
Since the declaration, many notable companies and countries have expressed interest , and somewhat started to invest in the country. The attraction of foreign interest is actually in line with the country’s interest to become the EV production hub of Southeast Asia by 2030.
Recently, a team from Indonesia visited Japan for working discussion on the possibility of including the Japanese in the country’s vision, this so even when Japan has already declared state of emergency because of Japan’s Covid-19 situation.
Indonesia has always been a place of interest for automobile and in the future, EV makers because of their growing workforce and also its proximity to Australia. Its a natural location for EV manufacturing because it provides perhaps the most returns for the potential sales volume to the Country Down Under.
In addition to that, Indonesia also owns one-quarter of the world’s reserves of nickel – a key material in the production of the batteries – and as a country, it controls the world’s largest reserves, ahead of Australia and Brazil.
The meeting was said to have taken place with representatives from Mazda, Suzuki, Honda, Mitsubishi and Toyota.
Truthfully, I can’t wait for an Electric Vehicle from Mazda. The Mazda 6 is seriously a looker.
