1,319 recruits first batch to enjoy new salary scheme under SSPA
PORT DICKSON: A total of 1,319 young army recruits who completed their basic training today are the first group to fully benefit from the revised salary scheme under the Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA). Army Chief General Tan Sri Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan said the recruits would receive a starting salary ranging from RM1,710 to RM1,930, depending on their academic qualifications, compared to RM1,610 during their training period, which began on Dec 1. 'Previously, (under the Malaysian Remuneration System), their pay was RM1,459. This batch is the first to enjoy the new rates, where diploma holders will earn more than those with Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). 'I hope this will encourage more participation from the community, especially diploma holders, to join the army,' he told reporters after the Passing Out Parade for Young Male Soldiers Series 202/2024 here. For this intake, Sarawak recorded the highest number of recruits with 243 individuals. By ethnicity, Malays formed the majority with 1,007 individuals, followed by Bumiputera from Sabah and Sarawak (364), Chinese (five), Indians (18) and Orang Asli (four). Muhammad Hafizuddeain said the army continues to carry out various efforts to boost participation from other ethnic groups, including organising exhibitions and career talks at non-Malay stream schools and engaging Territorial Army Committee members in every state to promote participation among non-Malays. He noted that economic factors may be the main reason for the lack of interest among youths in joining the armed forces, and expressed hope that the implementation of the SSPA would help attract more of them, particularly from non-Malay backgrounds. 'We do not face many issues in Sabah. What we need is more participation from Peninsular Malaysia. I hope the National Service Training Programme (PLKN) will help encourage more youths to consider the armed forces as a career path,' he said. On a separate matter, Muhammad Hafizuddeain said the army would not compromise with any personnel who tarnish the image of the service. This includes a recent case involving a soldier suspected of molesting a student in Melaka. 'The individual is still under police remand. We will follow the outcome of the police investigation and take further action if the individual is found guilty,' he said.

DigiGold Makes Gold Investment Mainstream with Micro-SIPs Starting at Rs20
VMPL Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 6: Every morning, 23-year-old Neha, a first-time earner in Jaipur, sips her tea and opens an app, not to scroll through social media, but to check in on her automated Rs20 investment in gold and silver. For the longest time, gold and silver investments felt like a luxury only reserved for the wealthy. Generally, SIPs in mutual funds start at Rs1,000 or more, keeping many like Neha on the sidelines. But now, with DigiGold's revolutionary Daily SIPs starting at just Rs20, investing in precious metals (gold/silver) has become a part of everyday life--even for someone working their first job. Just like Neha, you too can begin your daily SIP journey--simply set it once, automate it, and let your investments grow quietly in the background. Backed by Amrapali Gujarat, DigiGold is quietly leading a financial movement--one where gold/silver is no longer a dream, but a daily habit. And Neha isn't alone. Across India, thousands are logging in, investing small amounts constantly, and slowly building their future. The shift is timely. In December 2024 alone, SIP contributions across India surged by 40.45%, reaching Rs26,459 crore, proving just how rapidly Indians are embracing disciplined investments. Unlike traditional investment platforms where SIPs often begin with large amounts, DigiGold has lowered the barrier dramatically, enabling people from all walks of life to participate in wealth creation without straining their pockets. And with gold prices climbing steadily, 2025 has proven to be the safest year for gold investment returns globally. This changes the mindset around money. DigiGold combines digital convenience, purity assurance, and complete transparency in a way that fits neatly into the fast-paced lives of modern Indians. There's no paperwork, no pressure--just the quiet satisfaction of taking one small step toward a secure future. And with gold prices continuing to rise, every Rs20 Neha invests becomes more valuable. In a culture where gold and silver are more than metal--it's security, it's tradition, it's pride--this kind of micro-investments is smart. So whether you're a college student investing for the future, a homemaker planning ahead, or someone looking to start small and grow steady--DigiGold gives you the chance to save, without waiting for "someday."
