MaTEx (Malaysia Tourism Excellence Business Certification) continues to deliver positive impact in elevating the quality and service standards of Malaysia’s tourism sector, particularly within the adventure tourism segment which demands full compliance with safety protocols. In conjunction with Outdoor Expo 2025, the Director General of MPC officiated the presentation of MaTEx certificates to certified companies from February to July 2025, a significant recognition of their efforts in raising industry professionalism. During the Closing Ceremony, the Mayor of Petaling Jaya presented a special honour, the Innovation Award, to MaTEx ATO (Adventure Tourism Operators) in acknowledgement of its creative, safe, and sustainable outdoor tourism offerings. This shows that MPC and TPN remain steadfast in driving productive and responsible tourism in Malaysia. #SayangiMalaysia #ProductiveTourism #TPN #MPC #AIProduktiviti #MPCProductive #Drivingproductivityofthenation

Tarikh: 28 Julai 2025, Isnin Masa: 10 pagi Platform: Microsoft Teams Sesi ini bertujuan untuk meneroka peranan AKIE Group, sebuah francaisor yang komited dalam memperkasakan usahawan burger melalui pelaksanaan program keusahawanan di negeri Pahang. Syarikat ini menyokong 50 usahawan dari Pahang dan Putrajaya dengan membekalkan daging burger sejuk beku secara konsisten. Namun begitu, syarikat turut berdepan dengan cabaran utama termasuk isu logistik, kekurangan tenaga kerja, serta prestasi jualan yang tidak konsisten. Hasil daripada sesi perbincangan ini, RFBPN akan melaksanaan Program AI Produktiviti yang dirangka khusus untuk para usahawan di bawah naungan AKIE Group. Program ini bertujuan membantu usahawan memanfaatkan teknologi digital, terutamanya dalam aspek penghasilan kandungan promosi serta meningkatkan keberkesanan pelaporan prestasi perniagaan. Pendekatan ini bukan sahaja dijangka meningkatkan produktiviti dan kecekapan operasi, malah berpotensi memperkukuh daya saing usahawan burger dalam pasaran makanan yang semakin kompetitif dan dinamik.

Pelaksanaan kaedah ini dijangka dapat mengurangkan risiko kelewatan penyampaian notis, meningkatkan kadar bayaran kompaun dalam tempoh ditetapkan, serta menyokong amalan digitalisasi perbandaran ke arah perkhidmatan yang lebih efisien dan mesra rakyat. Langkah ini juga selari dengan usaha memperkukuh tadbir urus digital di peringkat Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan dalam menyokong matlamat Sarawak sebagai sebuah negeri pintar dan berdaya saing. #SarawakProduktif #RKB #DBKU

As a pilot, the productivity module will be introduced in Mechatronics and later expanded to other technical areas such as Electrical & Electronics, Air Conditioning, and Civil. As a way forward, a Train-the-Trainer session and a 1-day productivity workshop are also planned to ensure effective delivery. This initiative prepares future workers with the right mindset, skill sets, and competitive edge needed in high-performance industries. The upcoming Sarawak Skills Open Day (28 Oct – 1 Nov) will serve as a platform to promote this impactful initiative further. #SarawakProductive
