New water tariff rates in Melaka effective Aug 1 for sustainable supply
MELAKA: Syarikat Air Melaka Berhad (SAMB) has implemented new water tariff rates effective August 1 to ensure the sustainability and stability of the state's water supply system. The adjustment aims to prepare for future challenges while minimising the impact on domestic users. In a statement, SAMB clarified that the revised rates would not burden the majority of households, particularly the 312,396 registered users who consume water prudently. The changes also affect 48,788 non-domestic accounts, including businesses, industries, government agencies, and charitable institutions, ensuring a fairer contribution to water service costs. The updated tariff structure includes: • Domestic (Residential): Minimum charge of RM9.40, with rates ranging from RM0.94/m³ for 0-20 cubic metres to RM2.26/m³ for usage exceeding 35 cubic metres. • Domestic (Residential Bulk Meter): A flat rate of RM2.22/m³ with a minimum charge of RM25. • Business/Industry/Government: Rates start at RM2.66/m³ for 0-35 cubic metres, increasing to RM2.72/m³ beyond that threshold, with a minimum charge of RM26.60. • Places of Worship/Charitable Institutions: Fixed at RM1.01/m³ with a minimum charge of RM10.10. • Shipping: A steep rate of RM8.02/m³ with an RM80.20 minimum charge. • Data Centres: Charged RM5.32/m³, with a minimum fee of RM53.20. SAMB emphasised that the revised tariffs will fund critical infrastructure projects, including the expansion of the Jus and Jernih Water Treatment Plants, pipeline upgrades across Melaka, and improved sludge waste management. These investments aim to enhance service reliability and meet growing demand. - Bernama

MACC boosts forensic probes, asset recovery in 13MP anti-corruption push
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will intensify its crackdown on corruption, financial leakages, and power abuse by upgrading operational tools, deepening forensic capabilities, and accelerating asset recovery. Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed the move aligns with the governance reforms highlighted in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). Azam stressed the commission's dual focus: rigorous enforcement and societal integrity education. 'MACC recognises public expectations and will fulfil this mandate to foster a corruption-free Malaysia, directly supporting economic resilience,' he said in a statement. The agency aims to embed ethical values through community programmes, cultivating 'principled citizens' to sustain long-term anti-graft efforts. Collaboration remains central to MACC's strategy. 'We stand united with the government and rakyat to achieve 13MP's socioeconomic goals, ensuring development benefits all equitably,' Azam added. The plan's emphasis on accountability mirrors MACC's ongoing initiatives, including high-profile asset seizures and cross-border corruption probes. - Bernama

'No RM10k in savings by 30? Something's wrong' — Viral post ignites backlash
A bold social media post has gone viral, stirring intense debate over financial expectations among Malaysians in their 30s. The post bluntly called out working adults who have yet to save RM10,000, saying it's a sign that 'something is wrong.' ALSO READ: Wife recovers over RM10,000 in coins from bathroom door thanks to husband's habit The user called shaunlsm wrote: 'If you're already 30 and still don't have RM10k in savings, something's not right — not to judge, but let's be honest: you've been working for years, yet you're still living like it's day one.' The no-filter statement split netizens down the middle — with some calling it a harsh but necessary truth, and others slamming it as disconnected from economic realities. Supporters said it's a wake-up call for better money habits. 'Finances can be tough sometimes, but I believe that if someone really wants to save, they'll find a way — just like how they always seem to find a way to spend on lifestyle upgrades,' ishraflatifah echoed. But many clapped back, highlighting the struggles faced by the average Malaysian. Critics pointed to rising living costs, stagnant wages, student loans, and family responsibilities as barriers to savings. Some also said the post unfairly shames those who are already trying their best. Instead of blanket statements, others called for more empathetic and realistic conversations about money. 'Having savings is a luxury not everyone can afford,' kwavemy wrote. 'You think savings are just about discipline? Try feeding a family, paying bills, outstanding debts, covering siblings' studies, all on a paycheck that barely stretches to month-end. Savings are a luxury for many, not a sign of failure. Check your privilege before making blanket statements,' aynynsofeaa voiced.
