SUPP Kuching assists over 300 students at night counter for special aid applications
SUPP Kuching Branch helping tertiary students apply for the RM1,200 special living aid at Life Café Padungan.
KUCHING (May 17): The Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) Kuching branch reaffirmed its commitment to the community by successfully hosting a night counter service at Life Café in Padungan here on Thursday, drawing strong participation from tertiary students and local residents.
The event, part of an ongoing initiative to assist applicants for the state's Special Financial Assistance (BKK), was organised in response to positive demand following the previous week's session.
According to Youth chief Nicholas Wung, the branch helped more than 300 tertiary students apply for the RM1,200 special living aid over two consecutive weeks.
The branch, he added, also offered both on-site application processing and remote support through social media.
'In addition to in-person service, we received numerous inquiries and provided guidance through online channels,' said Wung in a statement.
Besides the students' living aid applications, the counter also offered a range of services including Kenyalang Gold Card registration, social welfare subsidies, OKU registration, legal consultations, and document certification.
Wung shared that Miri mayor Adam Yii, who happened to walk past the area at that time, visited the site to observe the operation and expressed praise for the team's down-to-earth service delivery and responsiveness.
'The volunteers, comprising members from the Branch Committee, Youth Wing, Women's Wing, and community leaders have provided their assistance, ensuring the programme's smooth process.
'Assistance extended beyond form filling, including help with parental income verification, Sarawak ID registration, and income documentation for families without formal proof,' he stated.
Wung encouraged eligible tertiary students and local residents to seize the opportunity and reaffirmed the branch's commitment to continuing services as needed.

E-invoice delay for SMEs, stamp duty eased for jobs contracts
KOTA KINABALU (June 6): The government has announced key changes to the implementation of the e-invoicing system and the stamping of employment contracts following concerns raised by employers. The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) announced that the implementation phase for e-invoices for taxpayers with annual income or sales exceeding RM1 million but not exceeding RM5 million has been postponed to Jan 1, 2026. In a statement, LHDN also announced that taxpayers with an annual income or sales below RM500,000 are exempted from the implementation of the e-Invoice system. 'The implementation phase for taxpayers with annual income or sales up to RM1 million has been postponed to July 1, 2026,' LHDN said. The board added that the decision was made after the government recognised the commitments of taxpayers, particularly Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), in meeting e-invoice legal requirements, which necessitate adequate preparation time and face numerous implementation challenges. The statement said that, in line with this decision, a new timeline for the e-invoice implementation phases has been established with Phase 3 targeting taxpayers with annual income or sales exceeding RM5 million but not exceeding RM25 million coming into effect on July 1, 2025. LHDN noted that Phase 4 will involve taxpayers with annual incomes or sales exceeding RM1 million up to RM5 million and will begin on Jan 1, 2026 while Phase 5 will cover the income group of up to RM1 million and will commence on July 1, 2026. The previously announced six-month grace period will also apply to these new phases, the agency said. It stressed that during this period, taxpayers will be permitted to issue consolidated e-invoices for all transactions, including self-billed e-invoices. Necessary details, it said, can be included in the 'Product or Service Description' field. 'If there is a request for an e-Invoice from the buyer, the seller is also allowed to issue only a consolidated e-Invoice without issuing one for each transaction,' the statement said. LHDN also said that during this grace period, no prosecution will be initiated under Section 120 of the Income Tax Act 1967 for non-compliance with e-Invoice regulations, provided taxpayers adhere to the consolidated e-Invoice requirements. 'Furthermore, starting Jan 1, 2026, taxpayers involved in e-Invoice implementation must issue an e-Invoice for every sale of goods or provision of services exceeding RM10,000, and consolidated e-Invoicing will no longer be permitted,' the statement added. To ease the burden on employers, the Ministry of Finance has agreed to exempt employment contracts executed before January 1, 2025, from stamp duty obligations. Starting January 1, 2026, all employment contracts between employers and employees must be stamped starting January 1, 2026. This directive is in line with the phased implementation of the Stamp Duty Self-Assessment System (STSDS) as outlined in the 2025 Budget. The IRB said it has already begun comprehensive stamp duty audit activities nationwide since January this year, following the issuance of the Stamp Duty Audit Framework (RKADS). 'Through the audit activities and compliance operations, one of the key findings has been that many employment contract documents between employers and employees have not been stamped as required under Item 4, First Schedule of the Stamp Act 1949, where the stamp duty is set at RM10,' according to a statement from IRB. This requirement is enforced based on the powers granted to the Minister of Finance under subsection 80(1A) of the Stamp Act 1949 and the authority to remit late stamping penalties provided to the Collector of Stamp Duty under subsection 47A(2) of the Stamp Act 1949. In addition, employment contracts finalised from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, will be subject to stamp duty. However, a remission of late stamping penalties will be granted, provided that the employment contracts are stamped on or before December 31, 2025. This relief is exercised under the powers of the Collector of Stamp Duty under subsection 47A(2) of the Stamp Act 1949. According to the IRB, starting January 1, 2026, employment contracts finalised from that date onwards will be subject to stamp duty, and any delays in stamping will result in penalties being imposed. In light of these developments, the IRB urges all employers to review and update existing and upcoming employment contracts to ensure full compliance with stamping requirements as stipulated under the Stamp Act 1949.

Ambulance or college degree, 'Uncle Potato' is your make-it-happen genie
GLOWING in her commencement robe, gripping the scroll that would set her on the path to being a doctor, Lim Jia Jia's megawatt smile carries all the pride deserved by her truck driver father and homemaker mother. Also beaming for her was Malaysia's "Uncle Kentang (Potato)". It's a moniker that has stuck with Kuan Chee Heng (left) since his early portly days, despite him dropping a few sizes now. The potato avatar, however, symbolises hope for kids like Jia Jia who have the dream — but not the money — to make it through college. It's not just education. Whatever the need, be it an ambulance, funeral service, eyeglasses, prosthetics, wheelchair — even a car with paid road tax and insurance — both Chee Heng and his mission (which uses the Malay word for potato) are there to help. From dawn ('I'm up by 4.30am,' he says) to dusk ('my bedtime is decided by the urgency of people's needs'), Chee Heng and his crowdfunded mission operate with a small army of ambulance drivers, paramedics, nurses and other skilled individuals ready to perform any humanitarian deed — often for free and sometimes a nominal fee. To give you an idea of what those deeds are, there's a production crew that shoots videos with a green-screen backdrop to later insert images of businesses run by retirees and single parents needing to make a little more money. There's a hospitality desk that arranges RM1 hotel rooms for poor families arriving from out of state for medical treatment in KL. Need to cook as well? No worries, there's a homestay — for the same RM1. There are teams that oversee multiple food and grocery programmes, including at a cafe and shop where the hungry and poor can purchase food and other items for RM1. There's also a RM1 market, where preloved items, from furniture to clothing and motorcycles, are refurbished and sold to the underprivileged. The RM1 seems to be a recurring theme, when the services could be free, I observed. Why? 'It gives people dignity when they pay for something, instead of getting it for free,' he told me. 'Believe me, I've been there. I know what it's like to be poor and to beg.' Deciding between optics and need The visibility attracts — not a day goes by without it making news for handing out a new scholarship, car or hospital bed — has led to scrutiny at times on how deserving its recipients are, since the organisation is declared as a "badan amal", or charity, that runs on community funds. 'We do our due diligence, of course,' Chee Heng said, 'But what's more important is that no needy person should be deprived of our services.' That can be difficult. One woman who received a car from him was accused — at least by appearance on social media (left) — of carrying an expensive mobile phone and handbag. Uncle Kentang had to clarify later that she was a single mom using a cheaper-than-thought phone and a fake luxury bag. The RM18,000 car was wilfully donated by an anonymous contributor to Yet, it didn't help the optics in this case. On another level, his interactions with preacher Ebit Lew, who faces a battery of sexual harassment charges, and fugitive businessman Nicky Liow, who's been linked to suspects of organised crime, have raised questions about Uncle Kentang's own character. Chee Heng makes no apologies for either. 'If you bring meaningful change to what I do, your past is of no concern to me. Everyone deserves a second chance, even a murderer or rapist. What's done is done.' What he regrets though is the negative chatter that sometimes deprives his organisation — and the people that can count on it — the aid it needs. In January, he made a call to Sports Toto winners to spend some of their windfall on ambulances for his mission. He was elated to get three pledges, only to lose one later when some people trolled him for bothering lottery winners. In a polite post later, he invited commentators to think first of 'the poor, sick and bedridden' before having their say, adding: 'It can be your loved ones needing an ambulance and by then, it may be a bit too late. We should consider supporting good causes. Do not kill good initiatives for the people. Thank you.' Kuan Chee Heng with an ambulance that runs under his mission Doing the job others are supposed to Viewing the site makes one wonder how an organisation with fewer than two dozen ambulances can manage the sort of first responder services typically expected of hospitals with far greater resources. On the site, a team of 50 trained operatives handle more than 30 calls a day coming in from all over to its Puchong base just outside the capital and route them to ambulances, mobility vans and other trauma services. When lives are lost, the kereta jenazah — hearse to transport the remains — and funeral assistance usually follow. Often, the 62-year-old Uncle Kentang can be seen in the thick of the action (left). When I rang one afternoon, I heard him talking over the siren of an ambulance racing to hospital with a heart patient onboard. Why do you do this, I asked when I got to speak to him later that day. What I meant was why he felt the need to provide emergency services when there were so many hospitals in the country, from government to private, to do that. Wouldn't dialing 999 itself get someone an ambulance? How much difference did his service make? 'It all has to do with the response time,' he replied. 'In an emergency, our affirmation for an ambulance is 10 seconds and 15 minutes to get there. Before asking why I do this, ask how many have those targets.' Proving his point, — despite its limited resources — was the first to reach Putra Heights after the Petronas gas pipeline explosion on April 1 and provide initial response to victims with third-degree burns. 'But you're right about what you asked,' Chee Heng said in an afterthought to my question. 'I wouldn't have to do this if those in positions of responsibility had done what they were supposed to.' Whatever the case, he seems to have done his job well enough to receive the Commonwealth Points of Light award in 2021, in recognition of his exemplary voluntary services to community. At that time, Chee Heng was the only fourth Malaysian chosen for the Queen Elizabeth honour among recipients in 56 Commonwealth countries. More remarkable is that while running his emergency services, he also looks to the needs of the police and fire departments and various municipalities, regularly donating special purpose vehicles and other items they need. 'There's a lot of bureaucracy in this country that prevents things from getting done in a timely manner and the more you get into public services, the more you realise that,' he added. 'As I said, my organisation doesn't discriminate or dwell on the problems; we try to solve them. If we can positively change a situation or save just one more life, we are the happiest.' A directionless teen before becoming celebrated giver In the post hailing doctoral student Jia Jia (left), Chee Heng said as a teen he himself was 'useless, not productive' and a 'mother's lousy son'. 'I did not possess any good results throughout my school time … (was) never an excellent student,' he wrote, adding that he did not 'have any successful story to break during family dinners or gatherings.' As though that wasn't enough, he appealed to readers to 'bear with me as I don't (know) how to narrate properly … my vocab is lousy'. But seated across from me, I found a man who not only spoke with near-perfect grammar and diction but could probably hold the attention of any room. 'Oh, that's 30 years of work,' he said, before walking me through that history. Born into a large family of ten siblings — six girls and four boys — Chee Heng was the ninth child to a pair of rubber tappers in Johor. From childhood to his young adult years, he could not remember much beyond poverty. He finished school at 17, with neither the interest nor intellectual capacity to do more (as he said in the post he authored on Jia Jia). A string of odd jobs, including an extended run as a despatch rider, followed over the next 12 years as he moved to Kuala Lumpur, then returned home, before trying his luck in the capital one more time. Saying it right with flowers It was on his second venture out of Johor that Chee Heng found his first calling: flowers. Working for a friend who was a florist, he learned not just how to arrange and sell bouquets but also how to get people to say it with flowers. Opening his own little floral nook in Jalan Sultan Ismail, he began making definitions for flowers no one had thought of till then. Red roses everyone knew were for love. How about white? Answer: Sincerity. Yellow? Apology. Champagne? Romantic love. Amber? Deep love. There's more: One rose = I want to be your friend. Two roses = Can we have a date? (Really? Why didn't I know that when I was dating? I was buying them by the bunches!) Eleven stalks = I can't stop loving you. Twenty-four roses? I'm loving you every minute. Ninety-nine roses? I won't stop loving you eternally (I really have to hand it to this guy). He helped his customers craft those messages onto the stalks and bouquets they bought. Soon, it became a trend as other florists latched on to his innovative floral messaging that appeared in newspaper ads. Chee Heng's own customer base rocketed from retail to corporate VVIP. His non-linear thinking also brought him his single biggest paycheck for a task when a businessman dared him to make a flower arrangement so large that it wouldn't get through the entrance of the Parkroyal Hotel in Bukit Bintang, in an effort to impress his girlfriend who worked there. No problem, said Chee Heng, who strung together dozens of baby-bouquet baskets holding about 1,000 stalks of roses to make a structure wider than the entrance. He won the bet for RM10,000; then turned the whole arrangement sideways and delivered the roses anyway to the woman — as a bonus. Keeping a good thing going All this happened in the 1990s and Chee Heng was just in his thirties. His fortunes were changing but so was something else within him. The poverty that shaped nearly three decades of his life had instilled in him deep empathy for the downtrodden. Uncle Kentang, the champion of the poor, began to emerge. Chatting with a moneychanger friend gave Chee Heng the idea of handing the vagabonds who hung outside his florist store RM5 each day to buy food. The Sultan Ismail-Bukit Bintang vicinity — long before today's Golden Triangle lure — was once a haunt for drug addicts and the homeless. 'No one plans for a life of addiction; it's all about circumstances and once you're trapped in there, there's usually no way back,' said Chee Heng. 'Society shuns addicts but we forget that these people have stomachs and they feel hunger too.' Chee Heng also made arrangements with a restaurant in Bukit Bintang where the addicts could take away meals when they did not pick up money from him. It wasn't long before his initiative to feed the destitute morphed into an idea of providing aid for the poor everywhere. The seeds for the movement were sown. Chee Heng leaned heavily on his top 1% customer base for help and contributions began piling in. At the height of it, he was sitting on a cash pile of RM7mil — something he couldn't believe himself. But those were days before the Covid-19 outbreak. When the pandemic struck, demand for aid went through the roof and had to double down on its services, unleashing a response it could no longer slow. The problem was that it also set in motion a cash drain the movement hadn't seen before. In just five years, Chee Heng's mission burnt through RM5mil — or an average of RM1mil per year — leaving it with just a couple of million from the total he had raised. Contributions have thinned further since the Covid-19 era. estimates it needs between RM300,000 and RM350,000 a month now to keep things going. At least 70% — or RM240,000 — is required to pay the 60 people on board, who receive an average of RM4,000 each. But what Joe Public itself is giving is less than RM30,000 a month — leaving the movement more than 90% underfunded. Chee Heng has come up with all sorts of ideas to raise more money, including a goofy one where he put himself up as a 'rental boyfriend' available for candlelight dinner with lonely women at RM50 an hour. 'Book early to avoid disappointment. I promise I will not disappoint you' he wrote in the post that pictured him in two shots — one in a biker's jacket (left) and another hugging a lamppost (I kid not). Probably sensing how the whole thing sounded, the father of three quickly added that he had 'just dinner and nothing else' in mind. 'Too many ladies get conned by virtual lovers. At least your money will go to the needful and hungry,' he said, summing up. It's not known if any woman took him up on the offer. In a more serious effort, he ran as an independent candidate for Puchong in the 2022 elections, losing so badly that the deposit he placed vanished too. 'Most people are still unable to accept someone not affiliated with a political party in this country, no matter how hard the person works for society,' he told me. 'But I guess that's democracy.' In the meantime, his movement continues to bleed cash. At the rate it's going, it could run out of money in six to seven months. 'Or we could keep going, with the will of the divine,' said Chee Heng. 'Without that, a pauper like me could have never dreamt of being a philanthropist.' I thought about that for a moment. Chee Heng was neither Disney's Tinker Bell with the magic wand, nor the lamp genie acting on Aladdin's command. But he was the real deal that made it happen for Malaysia's downtrodden. God, I sure hope he continues!

LPG Permit postponement: Proactive measure protecting small traders
KUALA LUMPUR: The Small and Medium Enterprises Association Malaysia (SAMENTA) has described the government's decision to postpone the permit requirement for the use of subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders as a timely move to protect local traders. Its president, Datuk William Ng said although these are minor administrative changes, they have a huge impact on business continuity and the people's cost of living. 'Without these measures, thousands of small traders, particularly in the micro and non-formal sectors, could be more adversely affected. We are thankful for the government's proactive approach, which has managed to avoid a crisis in microenterprise business at the national level. 'More importantly, these decisions send a clear and positive message that the government recognises the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as the country's main economic pillar, as well as being responsive and prepared to improve its policies based on feedback from the grassroots,' he said in a statement today. Yesterday, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said that micro and small-scale traders in the food and beverage sector may continue using subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders without a special permit until the amendments to the Control of Supplies Regulations (PPKB) 2021 are finalised in October. He also said that no legal action would be taken against this group of traders during the transition period. Commenting on the exemption from the e-invoice requirement and the extension of the e-invoice implementation invoice for SMEs, Ng said this would protect small traders, hawkers and family-owned businesses, which mostly do not have digital infrastructure, from the burden of compliance that could cause them to go out of business or operate informally. 'We truly appreciate the government's firm decision to permanently exempt businesses which record annual revenues of below RM500,000 from the e-invoice obligation. 'Similarly, the postponement of the implementation of e-invoices for businesses with revenues below RM5 million to Jan 1, 2026, provides much-needed space and time for SMEs to prepare, upskill and adapt. Such flexibility is crucial for the survival and growth of small businesses in an ever-changing economic landscape,' he said. Yesterday, the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) said in a statement that taxpayers with revenues or annual sales of below RM500,000 are exempted from implementing the e-invoice system for the time being. It added that e-invoicing implementation will be postponed to Jan 1, 2026 for businesses with an annual revenue of between RM1 million and RM5 million, and to July 1, 2026 for businesses with an annual revenue of up to RM1 million. The IRB said that the decision was taken after the government took into consideration the taxpayers' commitment, in particular the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which require sufficient time and preparation to comply with mandatory implementation.
