More Tamu Desa to be built in Sabah, Sarawak this year
Published on: Wednesday, June 04, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jun 04, 2025 Text Size: Ewon said 14 tamu desa were built in the Kota Belud area, part of the 98 premises completed across Sabah and Sarawak last year. Kota Kinabalu: The Ministry of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives (Kuskop) will construct more 'tamu desa' (rural traditional markets) in Sabah and Sarawak this year, to enhance rural market facilities and empower entrepreneurs in both states. Its Minister Datuk Ewon Benedick said the Madani Government, through Kuskop, had allocated RM20 million to implement the Tamu Desa Development Project this year. He added that this included an additional RM10 million announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the Madani Rakyat Programme in Tawau last month. 'Last year, we successfully built and upgraded 98 tamu desa across Sabah and Sarawak. This year, with an allocation of RM20 million, I hope the same number or more can be built,' he said in a statement. He was speaking after officiating the Kampung Pinasang Tamu Darat Kaamatan Festival in Kota Belud and subsequently launching the village's tamu desa, which was completed this year at a cost of RM250,000. Ewon said 14 tamu desa were built in the Kota Belud area, part of the 98 premises completed across Sabah and Sarawak last year. 'I have been informed by the village leaders that these premises greatly benefit the residents, especially mothers and small entrepreneurs who conduct business weekly. They not only provide a more comfortable space for selling but can also be used for various community activities on other days,' he said. According to him, the requirements for tamu desa development vary depending on the location and scope of work determined by the District Office, whether for new construction or upgrading, involving costs ranging from RM100,000 to RM300,000. As of May this year, he said, applications for new construction or upgrading of tamu desa premises in Sabah had reached RM40 million, including applications carried over from last year that could not be implemented, and this amount did not yet include applications from Sarawak 'Although our budget is limited, what is important is the continuity of what was implemented last year. What we started last year will be continued and expanded this year. I am confident that this programme will be among the key inputs of the ministry in the 13th Malaysia Plan (2026–2030),' he said. The tamu desa initiative was also part of the government's commitment to pay special attention to the needs of rural Sabah and Sarawak, in line with the nation's inclusive development agenda, he added. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

In a statement today, the Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA) said its Minister, Steven Sim Chee Keong, is leading the Malaysian delegation to the annual conference held in Geneva, Switzerland.

These meetings aim to boost collaboration on worker mobility and cross-border labour management.

US senators press antitrust enforcers over Rocket-Redfin deal
FILE PHOTO: Screens display the logos of Rocket Companies (RKT), the parent company of Rocket Mortgage and Quicken Loans, in Times Square during the company's IPO on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, New York, U.S., August 6, 2020. REUTERS/Mike Segar/File Photo (Reuters) -A group of U.S. Senators have demanded that federal antitrust enforcers explain why they did not seek to block Rocket Companies' $1.75 billion acquisition of real estate listing platform Redfin, saying the deal could raise costs for homebuyers. U.S. senators including Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, the top Democrats on the Senate banking and antitrust committees, wrote to the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday asking why they had not challenged the merger announced in March. Redfin shareholders are scheduled to vote on whether to approve the deal on Wednesday. Rocket's announcement that it plans to acquire mortgage servicer Mr. Cooper for $9.4 billion only raises further concerns about consolidation in the homebuying industry, said the group, which included Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an Independent, and Democratic Senators Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Tina Smith of Minnesota. "These deals would combine the second-largest mortgage originator, the largest mortgage servicer, and the third-most-visited real estate brokerage website in the United States, into a massive, vertically integrated conglomerate that may reduce choice and raise prices for American families in the housing market," the lawmakers said. A spokesperson for Rocket did not immediately respond to a request for comment. DOJ antitrust division head Gail Slater and FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson have said they will not get in the way of lawful mergers, but said they will scrutinize deals for anticompetitive effects that hit consumers or workers, in an approach Slater dubbed "America First antitrust." The Redfin acquisition could allow Rocket to steer homebuyers using Redfin towards its real estate agents and mortgage offerings, and leverage data about user behavior to raise mortgage rates, the senators said. Average home prices are more than 50% above where they were in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, and expected to continue rising this year. The rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages was 6.89% last week, reflecting pressure on the U.S. bond market from Congress' consideration of a massive tax and spending bill.
