FMM calls for loan moratorium extension by a further six months

Monday, 20 Jul 2020 01:58 PM MYT
KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 — The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) has called for the loan moratorium for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and individuals which will end in September 2020, to be extended by a further six months.
In a statement today, the association said this would provide a much-needed breathing space and further ease the tight cash flow that the SMEs and individuals were currently experiencing.
Its president, Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai said the extended moratorium could provide financial relief to those who are currently economically disadvantaged, especially companies that are struggling to sustain their businesses and workers who have been retrenched and have lost their source of income.
“At the same time, to ensure that the economy can quickly recover, the extended moratorium would allow SMEs to tap and benefit from the various initiatives that have been introduced under the Penjana Short-Term Economic Recovery Plan, without burdening businesses with the cost of servicing their loans/financing and indirectly reduce their cost of business survival,” he said.

KUALA LUMPUR - Jabatan Perumahan Negara sedang meneliti laporan pendapatan isi rumah dan pendapatan garis kemiskinan baharu agar harga rumah dapat disesuaikan dengan pendapatan untuk pemilikan rakyat.
Timbalan Menteri Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan, Datuk Seri Ismail Abd Muttalib berkata, penelitian itu dibuat selaras dengan pengumuman Pendapatan Garis Kemiskinan (PGK) dan pengelasan baharu isi rumah oleh kerajaan.
“(Sekarang) tafsiran dan kaedah pengukuran perumahan mampu milik di Malaysia mengambil metodologi gandaan median (median multiple) sebagai indikator utama bagi menilai kemampuan memiliki rumah.
"Formula yang kita gunakan (bagi menentukan) harga rumah mampu milik; pendapatan penengah (median) x 12 (bulan) x 3.0, itulah kadar harga rumah yang ditentukan di bawah program rumah mampu milik ini,” katanya pada sesi soal jawab di Dewan Rakyat hari ini.

Jaminan Kualiti Air Setaraf Negara Maju Pada Tahun 2028
MASIH ramai dalam kalangan kita yang merasakan air paip tidak selamat untuk digunakan. Tetapi tahukah anda bahawa Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) mengeluarkan garis panduan Piawaian Kualiti Air Minum Kebangsaan yang perlu dipatuhi oleh syarikat perkhidmatan bekalan air dalam menghasilkan kualiti air minum yang kelihatan jernih, tidak mempunyai sebarang rasa, warna dan bau.
Cabaran dan persepsi terhadap kualiti air
Cabaran terbesar yang dihadapi oleh syarikat pembekal air di negara ini adalah untuk mengubah persepsi masyarakat bahawa bekalan air paip mereka adalah selamat untuk diminum terus daripada paip tanpa menggunakan penapis air. Ini adalah benar berdasarkan kaji selidik Behaviourial Study on Domestic Water Usage Patterns In Selangor dijalankan oleh Frost & Sullivan pada tahun 2019 ke atas 2,128 responden. Meskipun kualiti bekalan air yang dibekalkan oleh Air Selangor adalah pada tahap terbaik, namun kajian mendapati hanya 73 peratus sahaja secara umumnya berpuas hati dengan kualiti air dibekalkan. Selebihnya, 23 peratus neutral dan 4 peratus pula tidak berpuas hati.

July 19, 2020 8:30 AM
Electricity keeps the lights on and the refrigerator running. But most people don’t really think about the possible dangers of using electricity.
Here are three common electrical hazards that can threaten the family’s safety:
1. Incorrect use of extension cords
An extension cord/adaptor can be convenient to add more plugs, but used improperly, it can put the family’s safety at risk.
Powering multiple appliances with one cord can increase the chances of the electricity tripping or cause other safety hazards due to overloading.
Avoid using multi-adaptors with too many appliances at the same time. If anything seems faulty with the electricity, call in an experienced expert to inspect the problem.
