Today’s session is happening at Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur Midtown with their Finance and Accounts team on Malaysia e-Invoice implementation.
The morning session also included colleagues from Sales and Operations, which I thought was a very practical move.
Because e-Invoice is not only a Finance topic.
It affects how teams collect information, issue documents, handle customer requests, and decide what should or should not be reflected in the invoice.
One of the discussions was around the difference between disbursement and reimbursement.
On paper, it sounds like a technical tax term.
But in real business situations, the question becomes much more practical:
“When we pay on behalf of the customer, should it be treated as disbursement?”
“What if the cost is first paid by us and later recovered from the customer?”
“What supporting documents do we need?”
“How should Sales or Operations explain this to customers?”
These are the types of questions that make the training more meaningful.
Not just listening to concepts.
But connecting the concept back to real transactions, real customer scenarios, and real internal workflows.
That is where proper understanding matters.
When Finance, Sales, and Operations are aligned, companies can reduce confusion, avoid rework, and handle e-Invoice implementation with more confidence.
Grateful to be part of this learning session with the Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur Midtown team today.

AI can do a lot of things faster.
But can it help your team think clearer, communicate better, lead others, and make better decisions?
That is where soft skills still matter.
A Harvard Business School Working Knowledge article highlighted an important point:
Technical skills do not grow in isolation.
They are built on deeper foundational skills such as:
✅ Communication
✅ Critical thinking
✅ Teamwork
✅ Leadership
✅ Problem-solving
✅ Learning agility
The study analysed millions of job transactions and resumes.
One key insight stood out:
👍 Advanced skills are “nested”.
In simple words, more specialised skills grow from broader foundational skills.
So when companies rush to train people on AI tools, automation, data, or technical skills, they should not skip the basics.
Because without strong soft skills, employees may know the tool…
…but struggle to ask the right questions, explain their thinking, work with others, influence decisions, or apply the tool in real business situations.
The takeaway is clear:
In the age of AI, technical skills help people do the work.
But soft skills help people use those technical skills with judgement, confidence, and impact.
That is why soft skills are not “nice to have”.
They are the foundation for long-term capability building.
What soft skill do you think will become even more important as AI becomes part of everyday work?

Yesterday was Day 1 of our Effective Communication and Interpersonal Skills Training for Managers with the team at Borri Asia Pacific Engineering Sdn Bhd.
The day 1 focus was on helping managers understand that communication is not just about speaking clearly.
It is also about how people receive, interpret, and respond to our message.
We explored areas such as:
✅ Communication filters and how assumptions are formed
✅ Paradigm and perception in workplace communication
✅ DISC styles and how managers can adapt to different personalities
✅ Generational differences at work
✅ The importance of respecting different perspectives before trying to influence others
One discussion that stood out was how easily misunderstanding happens when we communicate from our own style, instead of adjusting to the other person’s style.
The goal is not to communicate in the way that is most comfortable for us.
The goal is to communicate in a way that creates clarity, trust, and action.
Grateful for the open sharing and active participation from the team today. Thank you Aaron for the excellent facilitation.

Malaysia e-Invoice update for SMEs.
Today, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced an additional 12-month transition period for Phase 4 e-Invoice implementation.
This means businesses with annual turnover between RM1 million and RM5 million are now given transition relief until 31 December 2027.
Based on today’s announcement, these businesses may continue to issue consolidated e-Invoices during the transition period and will not face penalties during this window.
What does this mean for businesses?
First, this is breathing space, not a reason to delay preparation.
Second, companies should use this time to strengthen internal processes:
• buyer information collection
• invoice workflow
• system readiness
• team coordination between sales, operations, finance and tax
Third, do not assume the work can be pushed aside. The requirement is still part of the implementation roadmap. The extra time should be used to prepare properly, not restart later in a rush.
If your company is in the RM1 million to RM5 million category, this is a good time to review your readiness and close the practical gaps before enforcement catches up.
Need help understanding what this means for your team, workflow or customer-facing documents?
KS Training can support your team with practical e-Invoice training based on real business scenarios in Malaysia.

Throw back to last week's Professional Course on Handling Full Sets of Account
Watching a room full of accounts executives and finance staff work through real accounting scenarios, and see the pieces click together — is one of the best parts of this work.
Highlights:
- Opening entries and chart of accounts setup
- Bank reconciliation with real Malaysian business examples
- e-Invoice integration into the accounting workflow
- Financial statements
- Closing processess
-Audit readiness checklist
- A LOT of questions — which is exactly what we want (We keep the class small for active engagement)
To our participants:
Thank you for the engagement and wish you all the best!
Interested to join?
Our next accounting course is in May 2026!

Real words from a real participant.
“Before attending the Full Sets of Accounts workshop, I was handling our company’s accounts with only a basic understanding. I could manage some parts, but I was never fully confident that I was doing it correctly.
After the 2-day workshop, I finally understood the full accounting flow clearly, from opening entries to the final statements.
The trainer used practical examples, not just theory, and I was able to go back and improve the way I handle our monthly closing.
Worth every ringgit. We also managed to claim it through HRDC.”
— Accounts Executive
This is the kind of outcome that matters.
Not just attending a course.
But returning to work with more clarity, more confidence, and a better way to do the job.
If your finance or accounts team needs this kind of support, reach out to us for the next intake of our Full Sets of Accounts Mastery (2-Day) programme.
