[UPDATED] Fuziah: PH and BN tie up in Sabah set in stone, but cooperation with GRS welcomed
KOTA KINABALU: PKR secretary-general Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh has confirmed the Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) alliance in Sabah for the upcoming state election. "PKR always welcomes cooperation with any party in facing the Sabah state election," she said. "PKR believes it is a win-win combination. It is a win for the people of Sabah, and also a win for all component parties in the cooperation," she told the New Straits Times. Yesterday, the Chief Minister and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) chairman Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor reiterated his commitment to work with Sabah PH for the upcoming state election. He attributed this willingness to work with PH to their leaders' support during the attempt to topple the GRS-led state government in 2023. However, Hajiji said that the people of Sabah should vote wisely to ensure GRS, a local-based coalition, dominates the political scene in the state. Sabah Parti Keadilan Rakyat chief Datuk Mustapha Sakmud had said that despite PH eyeing over 20 seats, both coalitions would still have to sit down to negotiate on which seats to contest.

Fuziah: Govt to monitor petrol stations closely as RON95 subsidy revamp looms
ALOR SETAR, July 25 — Proactive monitoring will be carried out at all petrol stations to prevent any misuse in the purchase of subsidised RON95 petrol by consumers when the petrol subsidy rationalisation exercise is implemented, said the Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister, Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh. She said the ministry is anticipating various possibilities that will require enforcement officers to be more vigilant during inspections. '…KPDN has already considered all these possibilities. For instance, a single MyKad is being used repeatedly. These are among the issues we are aware of and are looking into ways to address,' she said after taking part in an Op Kesan 4.0 inspection at a supermarket here today. She said the use of MyKad ensures that Malaysians enjoy subsidies and allows the government to track any unusual purchases or instances of RON95 petrol being pumped beyond the allowable limit for a single vehicle. Fuziah said purchase records can help the authorities detect unusual fuel transactions, enabling action to be taken, stressing that KPDN will remain vigilant in identifying any instances of leakage or misuse. '…it won't be possible to make excessive purchases, as we can detect if a MyKad is being used repeatedly, morning, noon, and night, based on the records in the system,' she said. On the Op Kesan 4.0, which was launched following the revision of the sales tax rates and the expansion of the service tax (SST) rates effective July 1, Fuziah said 950 premises were inspected, involving 3,965 stock-keeping units (SKUs) nationwide. Of that number, 950 price information notices were issued under Section 21 of the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 (Act 723), she said, adding that 23 complaints were received for further investigation. Op Kesan 4.0 aims to prevent traders from taking advantage by raising prices unreasonably or engaging in profiteering under the pretext of the SST adjustments. — Bernama

KPDN monitors petrol stations to prevent RON95 subsidy misuse
ALOR SETAR: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) will intensify monitoring at petrol stations nationwide to curb potential misuse of subsidised RON95 petrol once the fuel subsidy rationalisation takes effect. Deputy Minister Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh stated that enforcement teams are prepared to tackle irregularities, including repeated MyKad usage for excessive purchases. Fuziah highlighted that the MyKad system will help track unusual fuel transactions, ensuring subsidies benefit only eligible Malaysians. 'We can detect if a single MyKad is used multiple times in a day through system records, preventing excessive claims,' she said after an Op Kesan 4.0 inspection at a local supermarket. The operation, launched following recent sales and service tax adjustments, has inspected 950 premises nationwide, covering 3,965 stock-keeping units. Authorities issued 950 price notices under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011, with 23 complaints under investigation. Fuziah reiterated that KPDN remains vigilant against profiteering and price manipulation by traders exploiting tax changes. - Bernama
