Dato' Logistician Chang Kah Loon, FCILT, FLogM; Log. Ts. Amy Ooi, FCILT, FLogM; and Log. Eunice Chang, CMILT, MLogM, recently met over coffee to discuss several key topics, including programme structure, lecturers, students, and activities.

Their shared goal was to strengthen AK Academy 勤 略 學 院 in Penang by enriching the academic environment and improving the overall learning experience for its students.

A concern was raised: many SPM, UEC, and STPM school leavers are choosing not to continue their studies, attracted by the gig economy's flexible jobs and freedom from the traditional 9-to-5 working hour. However, Dato' Chang stressed that the gig economy doesn't offer long-term stability, especially as people age.

Young people are therefore strongly encouraged to reconsider pursuing a certificate, diploma, or degree, which can provide a more secure and stable future.

Dato' Chang also highlighted the important role maritime logistics plays in global trade, making up over 90% of world commerce. As this sector grows, there is a rising need for more professional logisticians. Logistics education and training are key to meeting this demand.

👉 Dato’ Chang is the President of The Society of Logisticians Malaysia - Pertubuhan Pakar Logistik Malaysia (LogM), Chairman of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport - Penang Section, Director of AK Shipping 勤 略 航 運, and Chief Executive of AK Academy 勤 略 學 院.

To explore the most affordable and practical logistics education and training in Penang, please contact AK Academy 勤 略 學 院 (04-251 5222 or 251 5111).

👉 CILT Professional Qualification.
👉 Professional Diploma in Maritime Logistics Management.
👉 Professional Diploma in Global Supply Chain Management.
👉 Professional Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain.
👉 Professional Bachelor in Logistics and Supply Chain.
👉 Professional MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain.
👉 LogM Professional Certification.

Thank you, Prof. Dato’ Logistician Chang Kah Loon 曾家麟物流師, FCILT, FLogM, for sharing your insightful comments on the current maritime market. Your perspective on the challenges and opportunities within global trade is invaluable, especially as freight rates fluctuate. We greatly appreciate your consistent encouragement to SPM/ UEC/ STPM school leavers to pursue tertiary education in logistics, preparing the next generation to serve our nation and contribute meaningfully to the global economy. Your guidance continues to inspire and shape future professionals, who will play a critical role in navigating the complexities of international trade.

This maritime market report highlights significant pressure on ocean freight rates along key global routes, which could have mixed implications for Penang and Malaysia. The freight volatility may benefit exporters in the short term due to lower shipping costs, but it could also indicate fluctuating demand, which could impact trade volumes. Penang's economy, a key trading hub, may face uncertainties related to global shipping dynamics, and freight instability could temper Malaysia's overall trade growth.

Professional logisticians will play a crucial role in helping Penang and Malaysia adapt to these trends. By optimising supply chain efficiency, anticipating market shifts, and leveraging technological innovations, they can ensure businesses remain resilient and competitive in the global market.

The report highlights a mixed impact on the maritime sector, with strong earnings for ocean carriers in the third quarter despite some market fluctuations. For Penang and Malaysia, this could present both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, strong earnings in the shipping industry could boost regional economic activity, particularly in seaports like Penang. On the other hand, freight rate erosion in key markets, such as the US and the Mediterranean, may put pressure on trade routes that are important to Malaysia.

Yes, very true, Dato’ Logistician Chang Kah Loon 曾家麟物流師, FCILT, FLogM, our “professional logisticians” play a critical role in sustaining economic growth and global trade. By optimising supply chains and ensuring efficient transportation routes, they help mitigate the effects of market fluctuations, enabling Penang and Malaysia to maintain their competitive edge in the global economy.

We’re proud to have the opportunity to train and produce professional logisticians through our series of logistics education and training.

Everyone is welcome to reach us at 04-251 5111 or 251 5222 and talk to Log. Eunice Chang or her Assistant, Xue Liang.

The ongoing market volatility, driven by fears of a U.S. recession and weakening vessel capacity utilisation, could have mixed effects on Penang and Malaysia. On the one hand, lower transpacific freight rates might reduce shipping costs for Malaysian exports to the U.S., potentially benefiting local businesses. However, the overall weakening market sentiment and vessel capacity constraints, particularly due to Red Sea diversions and port congestion, could disrupt supply chains and trade flows, negatively impacting Malaysia's maritime industry.

In this challenging environment, professional logisticians play a critical role in sustaining economic growth and global trade. By optimising supply chains and ensuring efficient transportation routes, they help mitigate the effects of market fluctuations, enabling Penang and Malaysia to maintain their competitive edge in the global economy.

This maritime report suggests a mixed impact on Penang and Malaysia's economy, business, and logistics sectors. On one hand, the increase in global container volumes and freight rate momentum, driven by strong performances at major ports, indicates positive growth prospects for Malaysia's logistics sector. This could benefit Penang Port activities, boost local businesses, and contribute to economic growth. However, ongoing rate hikes and potential capacity challenges could lead to higher costs for Malaysian exporters and importers, potentially affecting trade competitiveness. The report indicates the need to maintain efficient logistics operations to capitalise on the global trade momentum while mitigating potential risks from fluctuating freight rates and capacity constraints.

Furthermore, the report highlights the critical role of professional logisticians in sustaining and advancing global trade. The positive growth in container volumes and freight rates shows the importance of efficient logistics operations. Without skilled logisticians, world trade cannot progress further. Therefore, it is vital that SPM, UEC, and STPM school leavers consider pursuing a logistics education and training. This field offers valuable opportunities for life, especially given the increasing significance of logistics in facilitating global business transactions. As the industry grows, so does the demand for qualified logisticians to ensure the smooth and effective movement of goods worldwide.

Yes, Prof. Logistician Chang Kah Loon 曾家麟物流師, FCILT, FLogM, based on various trade reports and updates, the demand for professional logisticians, particularly in maritime logistics, remains robust as international trade continues to grow and global business transactions become increasingly borderless. It's highly recommended for SPM, UEC, and STPM school leavers to consider pursuing tertiary education in logistics to become skilled professional logisticians. There's no shortcut to success; one must work diligently and acquire the necessary skills to navigate and address the challenges of global trade.

There's no shortcut to success; one must work diligently and acquire the necessary skills to navigate and address the challenges of global trade.

The recent maritime market report suggests that any further escalation of the Red Sea crisis would likely have a limited impact on container markets, as only a small percentage of Asia-Europe trade currently uses the Suez Canal. For Penang and Malaysia, the ongoing situation presents a mixed impact. While the decline in spot freight rates could be challenging for local shipping businesses, the continued rise in actual revenue rates (CCFI and SCFIS) for ocean carriers is a positive sign. The slowed pace of new ship deliveries may alleviate some market pressure, potentially stabilising freight rates. Overall, the economic impact appears to be relatively contained, with future trends dependent on geopolitical developments and market adjustments.
