AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Regional Haze Emergency: Malaysia declared an emergency in Serian, Sarawak after the Air Pollutant Index hit 521, with Kuching also recording hazardous levels, as Indonesian wildfires and “super El Niño” dry conditions push smoke further across Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. Wildfires Near Nusantara: Fires have spread toward Indonesia’s under-construction new capital, Nusantara, prompting calls for cloud-seeding and water-bombing as about 73,311 hectares have burned in key provinces. Defence Cooperation: US Pacific Command chief Adm. Samuel J. Paparo held major bilateral and multilateral meetings at the Indo-Pacific Chiefs of Defence Conference, including a first meeting with China’s counterpart, while Indonesia’s Super Garuda Shield 2026 continues with patrol, medevac and night-flight drills involving multiple countries including Brunei. Brunei in Regional Travel & Culture: Sabre Brunei Travel Fair 2026 runs 12–13 Sept, while Brunei will showcase coffee, matcha and tourism at Sabah International Expo (4–6 Sept); two Bruneian artists can apply to represent Brunei at Phsar Art ’26 in Phnom Penh. Business & Mobility: Suzuki, via Boustead, has started selling Pakistan-made Alto and Every mini-cars in Brunei, marking Suzuki’s first export from that overseas base to Brunei. Payments Leadership: Mastercard appointed Beena Pothen to lead West Southeast Asia, covering Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei and Myanmar.
