Analyst says impact on Malaysia will hinge on whether crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted, with higher oil prices offering both fiscal gains and inflationary risks

As the digital connectivity dominates trade, the sellers of handicraft are in a stunning junction between tradition and technology.

Compared to the traditional e-commerce platforms where products are competing on the crowded aisle, WhatsApp can provide a handicraft business with something invaluable, which is the connection. When a client inquires you about a handwoven ...

I'm not certain China will invade Taiwan. But if they do, it will be a disaster for absolutely everyone. We have to understand that China is in a very difficult geographic situation. The vast bulk of its population lives along the east coast, which is hemmed in by the first island chain - Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines, with Korea, Malaysia, and Indonesia as significant factors in this equation. Holding land that breaks this chain would significantly improve China’s strategic position, but it would also be a major national security liability for the neighboring countries. That means they are far more interested in defending Taiwan than America is. And because the United States ...

**Lazada** is one of Southeast Asia’s leading eCommerce marketplaces, offering a vast platform for sellers across several countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

API2Cart offers a **unified API** that allows eCommerce software providers to easily **integrate their SaaS applications with Lazada an...

I was going through the official Government of India export data for HSN 10063010, which most exporters use for IR64 parboiled rice shipments, and the numbers are quite interesting. Total exports increased from USD 3.27 billion in FY 2023 to USD 4.34 billion in FY 2024. That is 32.68 percent growth in one year. But the more important story is not the overall growth. It is where that growth is happening. The strongest expansion is clearly concentrated in West Africa. Benin grew by more than 100 percent year on year. Côte d’Ivoire grew by more than 106 percent. Togo grew by over 50 percent. Guinea grew by over 30 percent. Liberia and Sierra Leone both recorded close to 100 percent g...

I purchased something from a seller with zero ratings and followers (I know, bad idea). This seller is located in Malaysia. They messaged me a few times, first to tell me that they have more of my item in stock and encouraging me to add on. A day or two later, they messaged me again to say that they need my email address because of something to do with customs. I was kind of distracted, so I just gave an email address for an account that I reserve for spammy types of communications. Then the seller (via email), forwarded me a customs form and said I need to fill it out. It's basically a detailed inventory form. They also sent a "reference" doc that shows how I should fill out ...

This is me paying my dues to r/Kenya for all the help I’ve gotten here. Last year (2025), I wanted to upgrade my PS5 controller with back paddles without buying a whole new controller. That’s how I discovered the Extremerate kit (if you play shooters on PS5, highly recommend). The problem was, it wasn’t available locally, so I had to import it. I found it on the official store on AliExpress for about Ksh 3,500. I figured that was a reasonable risk, so I placed the order on October 14 using AliExpress Standard Shipping (since that’s what most people recommend). **Timeline for that order:** * Oct 17 – Package arrived at the origin airport * Around this time, Speedaf contacted me,...

The ongoing legal and political battle over control of Dutch chipmaker Nexperia is weighing heavily on its Chinese owner, Wingtech Technology, with significant financial and operational consequences. Wingtech has warned it expects a net loss of up to US$1.9 billion in 2025, largely driven by investment losses and asset impairments linked to Dutch government and court interventions that have restricted its authority over Nexperia since late 2025. The dispute began after the Dutch government temporarily seized control of Nexperia, citing concerns over national security and potential intellectual property risks. Although that move was later suspended, a ruling by the Amsterdam Enterprise Chamb...

Same like before… shipping from Malaysia to the USA, the buyer doesn’t want to pay the tax even though I already clearly stated it in the description. I informed Grailed support as well, but they didn’t take any action. This is already the third time this has happened to me. Honestly, I’m starting to feel tired of dealing with buyers from the USA. Sorry. My buyer isn’t replying to my messages, as if he already died in a war battle… RIP.

Malaysia has officially enforced a **nationwide ban on e-waste imports** from all countries due to environmental & corruption concerns. Authorities are also continuing **“Op Hazard”**, a major crackdown on illegal e-waste and metal scrap activities. In 2025 alone, seizures related to these operations were worth **RM 7 billion**. Mixed scrap and contaminated metal scrap are now under strict inspection. Shipments that resemble e-waste risk being seized. If you’re trading scrap, double-check compliance and documentation before shipping to Malaysia.

Why is my package on hold? What should I do, or who can help me? Thank you very much.

Is my package lost? I tried calling fedex but it leads to nowhere. It's a package from the US to Malaysia. https://preview.redd.it/4wm619ajrhgg1.png?width=1032&format=png&auto=webp&s=a78f2a20836cddd93dbd2f422b2d840a966ac90b

Malaysia’s central bank said strong growth and ongoing reforms would provide support for the ringgit, ruling out using the currency to support exports, which it said are determined by global demand. “The ringgit has never been an instrument for export competitiveness” Bank Negara Malaysia said in a written response to questions on Friday. While the central bank will continue to ensure “orderly conditions” in the foreign exhange market, “the ringgit is market-determined”. The comments come as the currency has outperformed all Asian peers in 2026, rising 3%, after gaining around 10% last year. That is in stark contrast to the performance of neighboring Indonesia this month, whe...
