What’s on your mind..?
Starting today, Malaysia has moved from "controlled" e-waste imports to a full stop. Electronic waste (e-waste) is now officially placed under the Absolute Prohibition category in the Customs (Prohibition of Imports) Order 2023. In plain terms, this isn't a tightening of rules or a new checklist. It's a complete ban on bringing e-waste into the country.
Malaysia's move toward e-Invoice isn't just about modernising paperwork. Six months into the rollout, the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) says it's already turning e-Invoice data into something very real: better visibility, better matching, and better tax compliance outcomes.
If you were up in Genting Highlands recently and your phone suddenly got weird messages that looked "legit enough," this news will feel a bit too close to home.
February always feels like the "real" start of the year. January is the warm-up lap where we pretend we're organised, and February is when reality shows up like "Alright, show me the plan.". If you're in Malaysia, February 2026 arrives with a pretty iconic vibe: a month that starts with a rare double public holiday in parts of the country, rolls into major cultural celebrations, and also drops a few global, tech-leaning moments worth paying attention to. Let's walk through the big stuff happening in February 2026, with a Malaysia-first lens and a global sprinkle where it makes sense.
Every year on 1 February, Malaysians (especially those who live, work, or regularly commute into the Federal Territories) get a little reminder that Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan each have their own story in the country's bigger picture. So today, here's a warm, simple wish from my blog to yours:
Happy Federal Territory Day 2026. May the day be a meaningful one, and may our cities and communities keep moving forward together.
