Johor PMR 2025 Offers 450 Cartons Of 1Kg Cooking Oil Under Rahmah Sales
JOHOR BAHRU, May 24 (Bernama) -- A total of 450 cartons of one-kilogramme subsidised cooking oil packets, priced at RM2.50 each, are available to visitors at the ongoing Johor MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025, through the Rahmah MADANI Sales initiative. The Rahmah MADANI Sales coordinator, Ahmad Kamarul Ariffin Mohd Masom, said that packet cooking oil is usually the best-selling item, along with 10-kilogramme local white rice priced at RM26 at any PMR event. 'This is one of the essential items that's always in high demand, so we have had to limit purchases to two packets of cooking oil and one bag of rice per visitor. 'So far, the packet cooking oil has been selling fast, and stocks are running low. We are confident that all the oil will be sold out soon,' he told Bernama at the stall in the Toppen Shopping Centre compound today. A total of 42 types of basic necessities, including coconut milk, onions, and potatoes, are being sold by an appointed supermarket, offering prices 10 to 30 percent lower than usual. Apart from supplying about 2,000 bags of local white rice and cooking oil, the MADANI Sales programme also offers several other basic food items, such as grade C eggs priced at RM7.50 per tray. However, if demand exceeds expectations, Ahmad Kamarul Ariffin said they are prepared to increase the supply of basic necessities, including cooking oil and local white rice. 'In addition, two Agro MADANI entrepreneurs taking part in the programme are offering local fruits from as low as RM2, fresh meat at RM30 per kilogramme, and fresh chicken at RM12 per bird,' he said. A housewife, Siti Sarah Nasir, 38, from Kempas near Johor Bahru, said she arrived early with her children to buy essential items such as cooking oil, rice, eggs, and chicken because the prices are more affordable here.

Armizan: Sabah, Sarawak technical committees to tackle soaring goods prices driven by high logistics costs
MIRI, April 27 — Two technical committees will be established in Sabah and Sarawak to formulate more specific and targeted strategies to address goods price issues in both states, said Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali. He said that the decision was made following the presentation of findings from studies conducted by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) and Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) to the committee recently. 'Initial findings indicate that one of the main factors contributing to the high prices of goods in both states is the high logistics cost of transporting goods from Peninsular Malaysia,' he told reporters after attending the Rahmah MADANI Sales programme at Emart Riam, here, yesterday. He said that although certain goods are cheaper in Sarawak compared with Peninsular Malaysia, the prices of most daily necessities remain higher, due to geographical factors and shipping costs. The two technical committees would involve collaboration with the two universities and will be co-chaired by representatives from both the federal and state governments, comprising either ministers or deputy ministers. 'Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof will soon hold a meeting with the Premier of Sarawak, to discuss the appointment of the chairman and deputy chairman of the technical committee in Sarawak, while I will personally meet with the Chief Minister of Sabah, Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, for the same purpose,' he explained. According to him, in Sabah, one of the initial areas of focus identified is the price of chicken, a primary source of protein, where studies found that chicken prices remain high, despite the presence of many local chicken farms. In addition, basic goods such as sugar are also a concern, as Sabah and Sarawak do not have their own sugar refineries, further contributing to higher costs. With the establishment of the technical committees, the government aims to develop long-term action plans, including allocation planning under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), currently being finalised through the Ministry of Economy, to strengthen food security and stabilise prices in Sabah and Sarawak. — Bernama
