Depreciation of the kip and skyrocketing inflation have resulted in labour shortages, impacting the industrial sector, business leaders say. The rising cost of living and comparatively low wages are forcing thousands of Lao nationals to seek employment in other countries so they can earn more money and improve their standard of living, with most seeking jobs in Thailand and the Republic of Korea. President of the Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LNCCI), Oudet Souvannavong, said recently that the spiralling cost of living has posed a huge challenge for businesses in their search for employees and efforts to boost exports, and that many skilled workers have left Laos for higher paid jobs elsewhere.

A team led by Prof. WANG Wei from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IBCAS) has unraveled the evolutionary history of the Arctic flora. The study was published in Nature Communications. The Arctic tundra, to the north of the natural tree line, is a relatively young and new type of biome and is particularly sensitive to the effects of global warming. The composition, density, and distribution of Arctic vegetation have been changing as a result of climate warming. Therefore, there is an urgent need to better understand how the Arctic flora has been shaped over time.

Scientists using the H.E.S.S. observatory in Namibia have detected the highest energy gamma rays ever from a dead star called a pulsar. The energy of these gamma rays clocked in at 20 tera-electronvolts, or about ten trillion times the energy of visible light. This observation is hard to reconcile with the theory of the production of such pulsed gamma rays, as the international team reports in the journal Nature Astronomy. Pulsars are the left-over corpses of stars that spectacularly exploded in a supernova.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's foreign direct investment is anticipated to rise more strongly, augmented by 'friend-shoring' policies promoted by the US government and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's moves to enhance the country's investment facilitation, said an economist. Sunway University economics professor Yeah Kim Leng said the prime minister's recent working trip to the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and his meeting with top corporate leaders has given Malaysia greater prospects on the investment radars of top US companies.
