'Upin' and 'Ipin' to be sacrificed for this year's Aidiladha
TWO cows, named 'Upin' and 'Ipin' and weighing 800kg and 780kg respectively, are part of a group of 22 high-quality cattle set to be sacrificed at the Tayyib Ranch Qurban Carnival 2025, held in conjunction with this year's Aidiladha celebrations. Mohd Sakhedan Sidek, Managing Director of Tayyib Ranch Sdn Bhd, shared that these Limousin cattle will be slaughtered at the carnival site located at Shah Alam Stadium tomorrow. They were purchased by different buyers for RM20,000 and RM25,000 respectively. Besides Upin and Ipin, the Qurban offerings include breeds such as Brahman, Charolais, Blonde, and Black Angus, all aged between three and four years. These cattle come from Kelantan and Terengganu, weigh between 700kg and 1,000kg, and are priced from RM10,000 up to RM45,000. Mohd Sakhedan noted that the demand for premium sacrificial cattle has been steadily increasing as more people appreciate the value of selecting top-grade animals for Qurban. He explained that these premium breeds are preferred because they provide more meat and are considered to be of superior quality, making them especially suitable for distribution to those in need (asnaf) as a source of quality nutrition. In total, 100 cattle will be sacrificed during the Qurban rituals at the carnival site, which runs from tomorrow until Sunday. Visitors will also have the opportunity to witness Tayyib Ranch's methods of managing the slaughtering process. The Tayyib Ranch Qurban Carnival 2025 will continue for 10 days until 8 June, showcasing over 100 cattle with prices ranging from RM4,000 to RM45,000, depending on the breed and the Qurban package selected. —June 6, 2025 Main image: Bernama

Ringgit Ends Marginally Lower Against Greenback On Stronger US Dollar Index
By Danni Haizal Danial Donald KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Bernama) -- The ringgit closed marginally lower against the US dollar on Friday, amid a stronger US Dollar Index (DXY) as traders await US Nonfarm Payroll (NFP) data tonight, said an analyst. At 6 pm, the local note stood at 4.2270/2360 against the greenback, easing from Thursday's close of 4.2245/2295. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the DXY gained 0.14 per cent to 98.884 points as the markets await the NFP data tonight, expecting payrolls to increase by 126,000 in May, down from 177,000 in the previous month. 'The ringgit versus the US dollar exchange oscillates around RM4.22 to RM4.23 today. Compared to yesterday, the ringgit depreciated slightly by 0.09 per cent to RM4.2310. 'This week, the ringgit has performed well as it has gained 0.7 per cent,' he told Bernama. Meanwhile, SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes said as US-China tariff tensions subside and foreign capital continues to flow into Malaysian debt and foreign exchange deposits, the ringgit is gaining stronger structural support. 'Foreign investor interest remains strong, suggesting that any ringgit weakness driven by the US dollar is likely to attract buyers swiftly,' he said. At the close, the ringgit traded mostly higher against a basket of major currencies.

Rubber Market Ends Mixed
KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian rubber market ended mixed today despite the upward momentum in regional rubber futures markets, a dealer said. Traders remained cautious as they closely monitored renewed trade talks between China and the United States and signs of further Chinese stimulus measures. 'Nevertheless, further gains were capped by the declining benchmark crude oil,' the dealer told Bernama. She noted that Japanese rubber futures hit a one-week high on Friday, buoyed by hopes of easing US-China trade tensions, but the contract was set for a modest weekly loss amid signs of weakness in the US economy.
