KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 โ€” Most households can withstand extreme equity market shock equivalent to that experienced during the Asian Financial Crisis as investments were funded by excess cash reserves and not borrowings, according to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).

It said a notable development in the first half of 2020 was the significant increase in retail participation in the equity market, which saw retail investors purchasing a total of RM113.1 billion worth of listed shares.

โ€œOur surveillance indicates that the surge in retail participation has not been funded by borrowings.

โ€œLoans disbursed and outstanding for the purchase of shares, including margin financing, remained low and broadly stable during this period,โ€ it said in its Financial Stability Review - First Half 2020 released here, today.

It said such loans continued to account for a small share of overall household debt (0.5 per cent) and bank lending to households (0.6 per cent).

Port Dickson: Pindaan ke atas Akta Kualiti Alam Sekeliling 1974 yang antara lain bertujuan menaikkan jumlah denda bagi kes pencemaran air, dijangka dibentangkan di Parlimen tahun ini.

Menteri Alam Sekitar dan Air Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man berkata, menerusi pindaan berkenaan, jumlah denda yang dicadangkan adalah RM10 juta daripada RM500,000 pada masa ini.

"Selain itu, pindaan itu juga akan meningkatkan hukuman penjara dan semua ini akan kita bentangkan dalam sidang Parlimen akan datang," katanya ketika ditemui selepas meninjau lokasi pencemaran tumpahan minyak di Pantai Cermin, di sini, hari ini.

Turut hadir, Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS), Norlin Jaafar; Pengarah JAS Negeri Sembilan Azuri Azizah Saedon dan Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri Datuk Dr Razali Ab Malek.

Katanya, akta sedia ada tidak mencukupi bagi menangani isu berkenaan, namun yang paling utama adalah sikap sesetengah pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab.

PETALING JAYA: Health groups and consumer advocates have called for greater regulation of unregistered hand sanitisers that can be purchased easily online, and said thereโ€™s no guarantee these products are effective or safe.

Hand sanitisers are considered a cosmetic product, and as such must be registered with the health ministry through the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) before being sold.

However, a number of unregistered products are available for purchase at online retailers for low prices, which are often displayed alongside approved products from well-known brands.

Dr Subramaniam Muniandy, president of the Malaysian Medical Association, told FMT that it โ€œcan be a challenge to determine if the products come from a reliable and trusted source,โ€ when buying online.
โ€œConsumers can put their health in serious danger if they buy fake products or products that do not match what was advertised.โ€ He added that itโ€™s important for customers to check if a product is registered before buying anything online.

PRESS RELEASE: SMART METER CONSUMERS RAISING CONCERN ABOUT THE DEVICE AND THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE OF CHANGING

Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FOMCA) and its affiliate the Water and Energy Consumers Associations of Malaysia (WECAM) has been receiving numerous enquiries and complaints on the new Smart Meter which have been installed by the National Electricity provider. Many consumers have been raising their concern on sudden sharp increase in their electricity bills and also the procedures on how to change and how it will impact them.

Currently, the utility provider is in the midst of changing the old meter to SMART meter. It is a usual program that this utility provider replaces aged meter which is beyond accuracy lifespan. There are two type of meters with different accuracy life span: - Electromechanical meter life span is 15 years while Electronic meter is 10 years. The main objective is to ensure accurate meter reading and billing.

The main possible reason for the spike in the electricity bill could be due to the aged meter used earlier which was not recording accurately due to, Faulty meter, Degradation of the mechanical components in the meter or Tampered meter. The replacement of aged meter is a utility prudent practice and it is in accordance to the Electricity Supply Act 1990 (for accurate billing).

Reducing the subsidies of carefully selected items will not only reduce food wastage and over consumption by household but also allow for savings to the nation.  -BERNAMA/File picOctober 8, 2020 @ 8:31pm
LETTER: The Asean Economic Recovery Plan is meant to ensure a smooth flow of food supplies among the Asean countries for the post-Covid-19 and because of this and the pandemic, Malaysia needs to re-strategise in order to localise its food supply chain in response to restricted border policies which may take some time to ease.

Due to those restrictions for the time being, local producers will not be able to fully meet the demand for domestic fresh produce and among the reasons are low production capacity, high labour cost, transportation and equipment issues.

These constraints have left them without much choices except for direct sales to market and/or being dependent on wholesalers.

The Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority (FAMA) highlighted that Malaysia's fruits and vegetables import bill has been in excess of RM8.5 billion per year.

PETALING JAYA: The Sungai Semenyih and Bukit Tampoi water treatment plants are not fully operational yet after the river was found to be polluted yesterday.

Air Selangor corporate communications head Elina Baseri said that as of 7.30am today, pollution was still being detected with a reading of five threshold odour number (TON) near the Bukit Tampoi plant and seven TON near the Sungai Semenyih plant.

She said Air Selangor could not yet tell when the water supply will be fully restored.

โ€œIn the past 14 hours, Air Selangor has not been able to produce the daily 602 million litres of water needed to supply users in the 274 affected areas.

โ€œAir Selangor advises users to get water supply aid from public taps as water tankers will be prioritised for critical premises such as hospitals and dialysis centres,โ€ she said in a statement.

SEPANG: The odour pollution in Sungai Semenyih, which resulted in the closure of the Sungai Semenyih and Bukit Tampoi water treatment plants (LRA) since 4.30pm yesterday, is suspected to have originated from the Nilai Industrial Estate in Negeri Sembilan.

Environment and Water Minister Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said initial investigations found that the polluted water was flowing to Sungai Semenyih from Sungai Batang Benar, close to the industrial area.

โ€œWe have to wait for the odour pollution to subside before the plants can operate again. As of now, we are not sure how long (it will take) because we are still investigating the cause,โ€ he said.

Tuan Ibrahim was speaking at a press conference with Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari after listening to a briefing from Air Selangor at the Sungai Semenyih water treatment plant raw water pump station at Jenderam Hilir here last night.

PETALING JAYA: A sociologist has advised unemployed fresh graduates to take up lower-paying jobs for now, as they struggle to look for jobs in the midst of the economic impact from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Denison Jayasooria, a research fellow at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), said this would require a change of mindset but only for the short-term.

โ€œThey should not push away low-paying jobs, but this is for two years at the most. Then they can move on to other opportunities as the economy picks up,โ€ he told FMT.

โ€œDuring this period, self-employment might be the best option. Get the unemployed graduates into induction camps jointly organised by the higher education and human resources ministries.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 โ€” Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) regrets the Malaysia Competition Commissionโ€™s (MyCC) decision to penalise General Insurance Association of Malaysia (Piam) and its 22 members for infringing Section 4 of the Competition Act 2010.

In a statement today, BNM said on September 14, 2020, MyCC concluded that Piam and its 22 members had infringed the Act when it had entered into an agreement on the application of trade discounts on parts prices and hourly labour rates for motor vehicle repairs by workshops under the Piam Approved Repairers Scheme.

Besides imposing financial penalties, MyCC had also directed the parties to cease and desist from implementing the agreed parts trade discount and the hourly labour rates, and for such discounts and rates to be determined independently by individual insurers and workshops.
