Several matters on LPG regulations require legal clarity, says Armizan
PUTRAJAYA: A total of 10 food and beverage sales associations have been asked to gather feedback from members and submit a memorandum of proposals regarding amendments to the Control of Supplies Regulations 2021, says Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali. The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister said the memorandum should be submitted to the technical review committee on amendments, chaired by the ministry's secretary-general. He said an engagement session with the 10 associations was held on Tuesday (June 10) to scrutinise proposed amendments to restrictions on the use of subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in trade and business, including considering the needs of micro and small-scale food and beverage vendors. "Various recommendations and views have been put forward. Among the matters to be considered are amendments to parameters related to the definition of the size of the businesses involved. "Additionally, careful consideration is needed for business ownership status, quantity requirements, control and reporting mechanisms, monitoring and enforcement effectiveness, and strategies to curb leakages comprehensively," he said in a Facebook post on Tuesday. The Cabinet meeting on June 5 had agreed to the ministry's recommendation to amend the regulations gazetted in 2021 but details on several matters need to be finalised to ensure legal clarity. Also present at the session was Rasah MP Cha Kee Chin, who is the chairman of the Special Select Committee on Domestic Trade, Entrepreneurship, Cost of Living and Agriculture. – Bernama

Six Negri Sembilan divison heads back Nurul Izzah
SEREMBAN: Six of the eight PKR division heads in Negri Sembilan are backing Nurul Izzah Anwar for deputy presidency in the coming party polls. The six are Jufitri Joha (Rembau), Zainal Fikri Abd Kadir (Jelebu), Noor Iskandar Mohamad Noor (Seremban), Ahmad Izzudin Ismail (Rasah), Ismail Muhamad Nor (Kuala Pilah) and V Raja (Tampin). "The party needs an individual outside the government, and one who is not holding any ministerial post, to focus on party work. "Work to strengthen the party had not been carried out seriously, and this is important as we need to start preparing for the next general election," they said. This, they said, was also important to allow Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to continue to lead the nation. They said Nurul Izzah was the right person to become deputy president as she had been a leader in the Reformasi movement. Nurul Izzah also qualified on merit as she was a leader known both locally and abroad. "The party needs an experienced leader like her who has been tested when the party was facing both difficult and good times. "This change in leadership is also transitional and good to ensure the party always has leaders of calibre and quality," they added.
