Arthur Joseph Kurup appointed as Malaysia’s new environment minister
He takes the helm of the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability ministry following a Cabinet reshuffle, succeeding acting minister Johari Abdul Ghani and former minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
The republic will not “capitulate”, but will forge global cooperation to tackle challenges like climate change, says prime minister Lawrence Wong. His speech was made a day after it was confirmed Singapore will head to the polls on 3 May.
Delivering his address at the World Economic Forum, vice-premier Ding Xuexiang said China’s green pursuits are long-term and not “an act of expediency”. He is the first senior Chinese leader to address concerns over an imminent tariff war since US president Donald Trump kicked off his second term.
