At the heart of Warkah untuk Perdana Menteri is a simple idea: to give people a space to speak. Through their letters, contributors share their hopes for Malaysia, reflect on the society around them and imagine the kind of future they would like to see. Their thoughts touch on unity, integrity, compassion, identity and moral courage, while offering a personal glimpse into what these ideas mean to them.

The event was further enriched by performances from three Wesley Methodist schools: the Wesley Methodist School Ipoh Choir, Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur (Private) Choral Speaking, and Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur (International) Dikir Barat, bringing music, language and cultural expression into the celebration.

More than a collection of written reflections, Warkah untuk Perdana Menteri also reflects the kind of learning that happens when students are encouraged to think beyond the classroom. To question, listen, express an idea and consider how their choices affect others are all part of growing into individuals who can participate meaningfully in the world around them.

Perhaps that is what makes the voices in Warkah untuk Perdana Menteri worth hearing. They are not presented as having all the answers, but as young people learning to find their voice, understand their place and imagine what tomorrow could look like.

And in giving those voices a place to be heard, Warkah untuk Perdana Menteri reminds us that education is not only about preparing students for the future. It is also about helping them recognise that they already have a part to play in it.

Countdown to 2037: Strategic Public-Private Agenda Unleashes Blueprint to Double Thailand’s Economic Growth

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 September 2026 – Aiming to attain high-income nation status by 2037, Thailand is deploying an ambitious action plan across state agencies, financial institutions, and industry leaders to transition from low-cost assembly to a high-value, investment-led economy.

Bangkok Business Summit-ภาครัฐและเอกชน ผนึกกำลังเดินหน้า_ (1).JPG

Building on discussions at the Bangkok Business Summit 2026, the agenda brings together government, private-sector and international perspectives around a common priority: translating structural reform into investment, productivity and long-term competitiveness, while strengthening Thailand’s readiness for a greater regional economic role ahead of its 2028 ASEAN Chairmanship.

Highlights from the Bangkok Business Summit 2026 on Thailand's roadmap towards high-income status by 2037.
Highlights from the Bangkok Business Summit 2026 on Thailand’s roadmap towards high-income status by 2037.

Geopolitical Stability and Macro Benchmarks

As global supply chains fracture and geopolitical tensions reshape risk profiles, Thailand is positioning itself as a neutral, secure haven for multinational capital.

“Global investors are prioritizing economic security alongside operational efficiency,” said Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas. “Thailand presents a timely, stable haven where targeted capital can stimulate short-term activity while permanently upgrading our long-term productivity.”

However, multilateral institutions emphasized that achieving high-income status demands aggressive economic acceleration.

“Thailand must boost its GDP per capita growth from the post-COVID average of 2.2% to 5.4% annually over the next decade,” stated Carlos Felipe Jaramillo, World Bank Vice President for East Asia and Pacific. “Execution must be decisive. Capital must be funneled into seven key growth engines—including smart electronics, EVs, and digital services—while protecting critical infrastructure like the flood-prone Chao Phraya River basin.”

From Dialogue to Delivery: Bangkok Business Summit White Paper
Building on the Summit’s discussions, the forthcoming Bangkok Business Summit White Paper, developed in strategic partnership with PwC, will focus on translating Thailand’s economic ambitions into execution.

The agenda identifies the next 24 months, from 2026 to 2028, as a critical window for strengthening Thailand’s longer-term economic trajectory. It focuses on directing resources towards higher-productivity sectors, reducing regulatory friction and introducing clearer mechanisms to measure progress and accountability.

This execution-focused approach is reinforced by closer public-private coordination across seven target business sectors, supported by key enabling areas including infrastructure, digital technology and AI, energy and finance. The broader objective is to strengthen investment-led growth while ensuring that new investment creates opportunities for domestic enterprises and SMEs to participate in emerging supply chains.

Inclusive Reform and Financial Restructuring

To transition from low-cost assembly to an investment-led economy, domestic leaders are restructuring local financial mechanics and supply chains.

“Assessing our structural reform progress today, we sit at roughly a five out of ten,” noted Payong Srivanich, Chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB). “We must urgently shift commercial banking liquidity away from stagnant legacy sectors and into future growth engines.”

To prevent technological disruption from worsening structural inequality, Srivanich advocated a “brotherhood” model anchored in the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy. Under this approach, major corporate leaders are tasked with upskilling and reskilling upstream and downstream SME supply chains to ensure balanced growth across the entire value chain.

This emphasis on inclusion extends to connecting new investment and global market opportunities with domestic businesses, enabling Thai SMEs and local enterprises to participate more fully in the new economy and supporting broader distribution of economic opportunities.

Global Governance and Environmental Resilience

Serving as a curtain-raiser for the 2026 IMF-World Bank Group Annual Meetings in Bangkok, hosted under the theme “Thailand’s New Horizons: Empowering People, Building Resilience,” the country is establishing forward-looking global standards. Key priorities include the “Bangkok Blueprint” to tackle cyber fraud and illegal financial flows.

Simultaneously, long-term expansion depends on confronting severe environmental vulnerabilities. The World Bank urged immediate climate-resilient investments in the flood-prone Chao Phraya River basin, which generates 66% of national GDP, alongside scaling solar and clean energy capacity to curb fossil fuel import dependencies.

By aligning domestic productivity and climate adaptation today, and showcasing these priorities at the upcoming IMF-World Bank Group Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Thailand is asserting the economic resilience needed to lead broader regional integration when it takes the helm as ASEAN Chair in 2028.

Coway Malaysia’s management team officially flagging off the 10KM Run Category at Coway Run 2026, marking the start of a race dedicated to moving Forward Without Limits.

Fuelled by the excitement of Coway Malaysia’s 20th anniversary, this year’s event carried the theme Forward Without Limits, reflecting Coway’s belief that growth is an ongoing journey and that every individual has the ability to achieve more through determination, perseverance and continuous self-improvement. More than a running event, Coway Run 2026 served as a platform for people from all walks of life to challenge themselves, celebrate personal milestones and take meaningful steps towards becoming the best versions of themselves.

Janice Tan, Group Manager of Marketing Division of Coway Malaysia said, “This year’s Coway Run holds special significance as we celebrate both 20 years of Coway in Malaysia and 10 years of Coway Run. Over the past decade, we have seen individuals from all backgrounds come together, set new goals and push beyond what they thought was possible. At Coway, we believe that everyone possesses untapped potential, and Coway Run was created to inspire people to take that first step towards unlocking it.”

“The theme ‘Forward Without Limits’ reflects our conviction that progress is not defined by perfect conditions, but by the courage and determination to keep moving forward despite the obstacles along the way. Even in the rain, we saw many runners choosing to persevere and complete their journey, embodying the very spirit of resilience that this year’s event set out to celebrate. It was inspiring to see thousands of Malaysians come together, not only to challenge themselves but also support a cause that creates a meaningful impact for communities in need,” she added.

With the health and safety of participants as the highest priority, Coway Run 2026 took an unexpected turn this year as the event adapted to the challenges posed by the weather and ongoing haze situation. Despite the change in format, participants from all four categories, including the 10KM Run, and modified 30KM Run, 5KM Run and 5KM Kids Run, came together with community spirit, embodying the “Forward Without Limits” philosophy.

Throughout the day, the atmosphere extended beyond the race routes as participants, families and supporters immersed themselves in a vibrant race village featuring interactive activities, engaging experiences and family-friendly entertainment. The event embodied Coway’s commitment to making healthy living both accessible and enjoyable, while creating opportunities for meaningful connections among communities.

Inside Stadium Merdeka, visitors enjoyed a special performance by Coway’s Biddy Bear mascot and dancers, followed by a live performance and exclusive meet-and-greet with popular Malaysian singer and actor Hael Husaini. Participants could also complete eight game stations to enter a grand prize lucky draw, with 10 winners taking home either a BEREX Massage Bed or BEREX Pebble Chair, while limited-edition Coway Biddy Bear hand towels were available to be won through on-ground games.

In keeping with Coway’s mission of helping people live healthier and happier lives, Coway Run 2026 continued to create impact beyond race day. RM10 from every ticket sold will be channeled towards the Coway Happy Water Project, an initiative dedicated to providing underserved communities with access to clean water. Through the collective efforts of participants, every registration contributed towards improving quality of life for communities in need and supporting a future where access to essential resources is within reach for all.

Beyond making a meaningful difference for communities, Coway Run 2026 celebrated the perseverance and resilience demonstrated by participants in the face of unexpected circumstances. Reflecting the event’s “Forward Without Limits” philosophy, runners continued to push forward and delivered inspiring performances across the competitive categories.
