Bangkok to introduce 20-baht electric train cap from Sept 30 for Thai citizens who register on app
BANGKOK, June 27 — A 20-baht (RM2.60) fare cap for Bangkok's electric train system will be implemented from September 30, with public registration beginning in August via the 'Tang Rat' mobile app, the Ministry of Transport announced today. According to the Bangkok Post, Transport Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit confirmed that the flat-rate fare policy for all eight electric train lines remains on schedule, with preparations being finalised. The initiative aims to ease commuting costs and encourage more residents to use public transport across Bangkok and its surrounding provinces. 'Everyone will receive the promised fare benefit, but they must register through the app first,' said Suriya. 'This allows the system to track which lines are used during a journey and accurately calculate reimbursements and fare adjustments.' He added that the registration process would be simple and user-friendly. Department of Rail Transport director-general Pichet Kunathammarak explained that the 'Tang Rat' app will be available on both iOS and Android, requiring users to verify Thai nationality via a 13-digit ID number and register either an EMV contactless card or a Rabbit Card. Passengers registering after August 2025 will still be eligible for the capped fare, though only those who register will benefit; others will pay the standard fare. Initially, commuters may need to carry two separate cards when transferring between lines, depending on compatibility. The EMV card can be used on the Red Line, Airport Rail Link, and Blue, Purple, Pink, and Yellow lines, while the Rabbit Card is accepted on the Green, Gold, Pink, and Yellow lines. Despite this inconvenience, the 20-baht maximum fare will still apply throughout the system. A full system upgrade is expected by late 2026, allowing all lines to accept QR code fare payments via the app.

13MP review crucial to avoid policy pitfalls, say economists
KUALA LUMPUR: Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah's main duty of finalising the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) will improve policy coordination between the Finance Ministry and the Economy Ministry, say economists. Economist Professor Geoffrey Williams said it is essential for the 13MP to be a robust framework and, as such, it should undergo a comprehensive final review. He said that increased external and independent scrutiny of the process would enhance the quality of the final document. "Although there are no details on the exact content, it is important that each proposal is evaluated by independent experts to ensure there are no unintended consequences or obvious issues that need to be addressed. "There is only a short time for the final review, but it is worth undertaking this exercise to avoid the risk of presenting a document that may attract criticism from the outset," he said. He said the move would improve policy coordination between the Finance Ministry and the Economy Ministry, and also help in understanding the long-term financial implications and funding strategies. Yesterday, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azhar Abbas announced that Amir Hamzah would assume the duties and functions of the Economy Minister with immediate effect. He said Amir Hamzah's primary responsibility is to revise and reformulate the contents of the 13MP document, which will be tabled in parliament on July 31. The portfolio became vacant after Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli resigned from the post on May 28, following his defeat in the PKR central leadership election, where he failed to retain the party's deputy president post. However, Rafizi, in a statement, expressed concern over the move to revise and reformulate the document, warning that a last-minute decision could undermine public confidence in the national policy document. Meanwhile, Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the review could improve policy coordination, as there would be greater connectivity between the Finance Ministry and the Economy Ministry. "I'm sure the 13MP will reflect budget constraints and aim for a higher multiplier effect on growth, while at the same time remaining disciplined in managing government finances," he said. He said Amir Hamzah, as a technocrat, would take a pragmatic approach to reviewing the document. "In addition, the plans are being prepared by government machinery that is highly competent, so I suppose the changes would take into consideration the country's long-term growth interests," he said.

After Apples And Oranges, MoF Announces Exemption For Beauty Services From Service Tax Expansion
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Finance (MoF) announced today that, after carefully considering public sentiment, it has decided not to proceed with the proposed expansion of the Service Tax to beauty services such as manicures and pedicures, facial services, and barbers and hairdressers. The MoF said all revisions to the expanded Sales Tax and Service Tax were made after taking into account feedback from the public and industry. 'Since the announcement on June 9, 2025 regarding the revision of the Sales Tax and Service Tax (SST), the MADANI Government has closely followed feedback received from the rakyat and engaged with industry on the proposed expansion of the SST." In addition, the Ministry also engaged a number of backbenchers yesterday as part of its efforts to understand feedback from the grassroots, it said in a statement here today. Select imported fruits to be exempt from Sales Tax To recap, after due consideration of feedback received regarding the Sales Tax on imported fruits, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, has agreed to exempt imported apples, oranges, mandarin oranges and dates from the Sales Tax. The MoF reiterated that the MADANI Government has not imposed Sales Tax on daily essential goods in order to mitigate pressure on the cost of living for the majority of Malaysians.

Local fish varieties, including selar, tongkol, cencaru, and sardines, whether frozen, chilled or fresh, will also continue to be exempt from Sales Tax.
