Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3% following the latest Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. The decision reflects a positive outlook for both the global and Malaysian economies, with continued growth and moderating inflation.

Globally, economic expansion is supported by resilient labour markets, moderating inflation, and improved global trade. While challenges such as geopolitical tensions and volatile financial markets persist, global growth is expected to benefit from the recovery in electrical and electronics (E&E) and non-E&E sectors.

Malaysia’s economy grew by 5.1% in the first half of 2024, driven by strong domestic demand and increased exports. The country’s position in the semiconductor supply chain and robust non-E&E exports are expected to benefit from the global tech upcycle. Rising tourism, employment growth, and ongoing public and private investment projects are also contributing to the country’s economic resilience. However, downside risks include weaker-than-expected external demand and commodity production.

Inflation averaged 1.8% in the first half of the year, and both headline and core inflation are expected to remain within projected ranges, likely staying below 3%. Mitigation measures have contained the impact of price adjustments on diesel, while the inflation outlook depends on future domestic policies and global commodity prices.

The ringgit’s recent recovery is attributed to lower interest rate expectations in major economies and Malaysia’s strong economic performance. Looking ahead, BNM remains vigilant to domestic and global developments, ensuring its policies continue to support sustainable growth and price stability.

The historic 1926 Heritage Hotel Penang, located on Burma Road, is set to reopen in 2026, coinciding with its 100th anniversary. This reopening follows a significant RM20 million refurbishment project, initiated by Jetblue Sdn Bhd in collaboration with The Ascott Limited, and marks the revival of a key heritage landmark in Penang.

Jetblue Sdn Bhd recently signed a 15-year lease agreement with the Penang Development Corporation (PDC), the property owner, with an option for a 15-year extension. The Penang Chief Minister, Chow Kon Yeow, who is also the chairman of PDC, emphasized the importance of this project in enhancing Penang’s appeal as a premier tourism destination. Chow noted, “The original structure of the heritage building will be maintained, with only the interiors being upgraded and refurbished, while preserving the exterior’s heritage features.”

The hotel, which has been vacant since 2020, was originally built in 1926 as 24 linked houses in an Anglo-Malay architectural style. These houses once served as quarters for British immigration officers and local administrators. Over time, the property was converted into a hotel with 96 rooms. However, the upcoming renovation will see some smaller rooms combined, resulting in a total of 78 rooms upon reopening.

The refurbishment is set to breathe new life into the 100-year-old structure, maintaining its historical significance while introducing modern amenities. Jetblue Sdn Bhd has invested heavily in the project, with The Ascott Limited, a Singapore-based company, taking on the management of the hotel. The 1926 Heritage Hotel will become part of Ascott’s The Unlimited Collection brand, ensuring a blend of luxury and heritage.

PDC’s call for a request for proposal (RFP) attracted several applicants, with Jetblue being selected to spearhead this landmark project. The goal is to reopen the hotel in time for its centennial celebration in 2026, transforming it into an iconic symbol of Penang’s rich history and vibrant tourism sector.

This project not only preserves a key piece of Penang’s architectural heritage but also contributes to the state’s economic development by enhancing its tourism offerings. With nearly seven million tourist arrivals in 2023, the 1926 Heritage Hotel Penang is poised to further boost the state’s economy and become a source of pride for Penang and its people.
