Pemberian rebat itu dilihat mampu mengurangkan bebanan kos sara hidup yang tinggi ketika ini sekali gus menunjukkan keprihatinan kerajaan dalam membela nasib golongan miskin tegar di negara ini.

Suri rumah Diana Lokman, 40, berkata langkah kerajaan meneruskan pemberian rebat elektrik itu memperlihatkan usaha berterusan kerajaan meringankan beban rakyat terutamanya golongan susah dan bekeperluan untuk mendapat bantuan manfaat yang terus kepada golongan sasar.

"Jadi dengan pemberian rebat ini, bil bulanan yang saya perlu bayar hanya sekitar RM15 atau kurang daripada itu kerana penggunaan bulanan biasanya sekitar RM50, saya tidak gunakan penyaman udara atau penapis air elektrik dan sebagainya," katanya ketika dihubungi Bernama pada Rabu.

Baru minyakSHAH ALAM - Kaedah pembelian minyak masak peket bersubsidi menggunakan pengenalan diri (ID) khas yang bakal dilaksanakan Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup (KPDN) tahun depan disifatkan tidak komprehensif dan mengelirukan.

Penganalisis Ekonomi Universiti Kewangan Islam Global (INCEIF), Profesor Dr Baharom Abdul Hamid menyifatkan idea tersebut menimbulkan pelbagai persoalan selain sukar untuk dilaksanakan.

    “Jadi siapa nak kawal di peringkat runcit? Apa yang menghalang pembeli menjual semula pada harga yang lebih tinggi?

“Apa had kelayakan untuk penggunaan ID ini nanti. Adakah mengikut pendapatan? Sekiranya gaji suami dalam golongan berpendapatan tinggi (T20), tapi suruh isteri yang suri rumah atau anak yang beli, macam mana pula,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian.

Sebelum ini Timbalan Menteri KPDN, Fuziah Salleh memberitahu kaedah pembelian minyak masak peket kepada kumpulan sasar yang bakal dilaksanakan pada 2024 akan menggunakan mekanisme ID dan telah disahkan layak.

High Prices In India Everywhere. What Are The Causes 2022? - InventivaPETALING JAYA: Many Malaysian households are now indulging in mutton only occasionally due to the high prices these days.

“As Indians, we love mutton. But it’s costly these days, so I would buy it only once in a while,” said content manager, A. Siva, 42.

He said the price was usually about RM50 per kg, but it could go up to RM70, especially during Deepavali when the demand is high. At one point during the movement control order, he said the price even went up to RM83 per kg at a local market in his Subang Jaya neighbourhood, which he described as “shocking”.

To him, he felt that the price was rather arbitrary as the trader did not put it up on a price board. However, Siva acknowledged that prices for local mutton had always been higher than those imported from Australia or New Zealand.

“Local mutton is never frozen and there is a variation in terms of taste,” he said, adding that his family would opt for local or imported ones, depending on the need and occasion.

Homemaker Fazilah Kamal, 31, would only buy fresh mutton from the wet markets as she finds it more tender. It also takes less time to cook.

She said the average cost of lamb was around RM37 to RM40 per kg, but chops and shoulders were even more expensive as they tend to have more meat.

PETALING JAYA: The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) is investigating a syndicate suspected of running unlicensed investment schemes promising high returns to prospective investors.

In a statement today, the SC said the syndicate was being investigated for alleged offences under the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007.

It said SC officers raided several of the syndicate’s locations in Kuala Lumpur recently, confiscating their records and devices. Their servers were also shut down.

According to the statement, the syndicate, which also runs two clone firm schemes promising high returns in a short period of time, was believed to have duped hundreds of investors of over RM7 million.

Initial investigations show that the syndicate had been operating the unlicensed schemes since 2016.

SC identified these schemes as:

PETALING JAYA: Newly-wed ‘Nellie’ jumped from the balcony of her first floor flat at 3.30am to escape her abusive husband, one week into their marriage.

The 21-year-old emotionally and physically battered bride required surgery, having suffered multiple fractures on four toes in the fall.

She was forced by her family into an arranged marriage on March 14, four days before the movement control order (MCO) was enforced in Malaysia because of the Covid-19 outbreak.

On the first day of the MCO, her husband began beating her. He threatened to hunt ‘Nellie’ and kill her if she tried to flee.

‘Nellie’ was recently discharged from the hospital and is at a Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO) shelter where she is being assisted with case management.

The story of ‘Nellie’ paints a bleak picture of life for women for whom the lockdown of fear and abuse has intensified.

The Covid-19 crisis seems to have brought out the worst of human behaviour with reports of violent offences lighting up helplines.

A job seeker was duped of RM22,000 by a scam after applying for a job. - NSTP/File picSeptember 30, 2020 @ 12:41pm
KUANTAN: All a 26-year-old insurance agent wanted was to apply for a job posted on Facebook but instead he received a strange request to provide his bank account details.

Unperturbed by the demand, the man obliged and the move proved costly as he ended up losing RM22,000 of his savings.

In the incident on Sept 17, the victim noticed a job vacancy post on Facebook and sent a message to a number written on the advertisement to gather details about the job.

Pahang Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief Superintendent Mohd Wazir Mohd Yusof said after some time, the victim received a text message requesting a copy of his MyKad and bank account details.

Dr Noor Hisham advised against scanning hands and wrists for accurate body temperature readings.29 Sep 2020, 06:06 PM
The Ministry of Health (MOH) is again advising the public not to use their hands or any body part other than the forehead to scan their temperatures

According to Harian Metro, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said that the ministry discouraged people from recording their body temperatures by pointing the 'temperature gun' at the wrist, which he noted many have been doing lately.

He stressed that the most accurate body temperature readings are obtained from scanning the forehead

"The temperature reading from body parts other than the forehead is doubtful, so in relation to that, the public is advised to stop using their hands or other body parts," he explained.

According to Seattle Children's Hospital, a person's clinical body temperature is normally measured at the forehead, ears, mouth, armpit, or rectum.

Rectal temperatures are the most accurate but are the most invasive, which is why doctors opt for next best screening area - the temporal artery in the forehead.
