Fomca warns M40 squeezed and excluded from current aid framework
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's middle class is being squeezed out of national policymaking, despite bearing the brunt of rising costs and shrinking financial buffers, says the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (Fomca). Fomca chief operating officer Nur Asyikin Aminuddin said while public aid and subsidies are typically directed at the B40 group, the M40 – those earning between RM5,000 and RM10,000 monthly – are increasingly caught in a financial bind. The middle class is battling inflation, rising living costs and fading financial safety nets. 'They're too 'rich' for aid but not rich enough to withstand economic shocks. Their commitments – housing loans, education, insurance and care for ageing parents aren't factored into current income-based assessments. They're trapped in survival mode.' Nur Asyikin said Fomca has received more complaints from M40 households, especially since the Sales and Service Tax (SST) was raised to 8%. She said it has driven up service costs in logistics, repairs and professional fees – putting further pressure on household budgets. 'M40 families are facing higher prices on essentials like food, transport and utilities. Maintaining a decent standard of living in urban areas is increasingly difficult.' One alarming trend, she noted, is the rising number of families surrendering or letting health insurance policies lapse. 'Premiums have become unaffordable as basic needs take precedence. Any emergency – illness, retrenchment – leads to cost-cutting and insurance is often the first to go. With private healthcare costs rising, insurance is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Yet, many are underinsured or uninsured, forced to rely entirely on the overstretched public system.' Childcare and housing, she added, are critical pressure points. 'In urban areas, early education and daycare can consume 30% to 40% of household income. Some parents cut working hours or rely on unregulated caregivers, affecting both income and child development.' As for housing, many so-called 'affordable' homes fall short, said Nur Asyikin. 'People think they're buying stability, but end up in buildings with broken lifts or overcrowding. Home ownership should come with dignity and safety, not just a roof.' Fomca is calling for a major policy shift – away from rigid income categories like B40, M40 and T20 – to a more nuanced, needs-based framework. Specifically, it urges the adoption of the Reasonable Basic Living Expenses (Perbelanjaan Asas Kehidupan Wajar or PAKW) tool, developed by the Statistics Department. 'PAKW calculates household well-being based on actual spending needed for a dignified life, including food, housing, healthcare, transport and childcare, not just income. 'It adjusts for location, family size and life stage, offering a clearer picture of who truly needs support.' Nur Asyikin said wider PAKW adoption across ministries could make social programmes more effective, especially for urban, middle-income households. Fomca also recommends breaking down the M40 into lower and upper tiers and publishing regional PAKW data for more localised policymaking. 'There is a growing class of 'invisible poor' within the M40 who don't show up in statistics simply because their income sits just above the cut-off. 'The government must realise that well-being isn't just about surviving, it's about helping families live with dignity.'

Cooking oil app gets thumbs up at first trial in JB
Vivie Kassim says eCOSS is a great initiative as it was previously hard to get subsidised cooking oil. THE Cooking Oil Price Stabilisation Scheme (eCOSS), currently in its pilot phase in Johor, has received positive consumer feedback as an effective initiative to ensure subsidised cooking oil reaches those who truly need it. The first eCOSS trial was conducted during the Madani Rahmah Sales at Dewan Muafakat Kampung Bakar Batu in Johor Baru. A Bernama survey found the public generally welcoming the government's move to curb leakages in the distribution of the commodity. Above: Asiah says officers helped those who are not tech-savvy. Younger users described the mobile eCOSS app as user-friendly and easy to navigate, although senior citizens appeared to require some assistance. Asiah Saripan, 62, said officials from the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) guided older participants like her on how to use the app. 'I am not very good with smartphones. 'This is something new, and it may take some time for seniors like me to get used to it,' added the housewife. Vivie Kassim Zuini, 42, said the eCOSS app, which only required users to scan a QR code during purchase, helped prevent misuse and overbuying. 'I think it's a great initiative. Previously, it was difficult to get subsidised cooking oil, especially at small grocery stores. 'This system is more organised and we know it reaches the people who truly need it,' said the housewife. Left: KPDN officer Mohd Zulkiffli Sulaiman (second from right) explaining the eCOSS app to a customer during the Madani Rahmah Sales at Dewan Muafakat Kampung Bakar Batu. — Photos: Bernama J. Anitha, 38, said eCOSS could help the government distribute the subsidised item more efficiently and transparently. 'We're concerned about abuse. 'What's meant for households is sometimes used by foreigners. 'This app helps ensure only eligible recipients get it,' said the flower vendor. Earlier, a survey found that KPDN had set up a booth to assist the public in buying subsidised cooking oil. For those without a phone, identification card, e-mail account or who forgot their password or whose device was incompatible with the eCOSS app, manual registration was made available as an alternative. Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali was quoted as saying that Johor was expected to be the first state to fully roll out eCOSS to end users, enabling all purchases of subsidised cooking oil to be digitally recorded to curb leakages. He said eCOSS verified users' identities through an e-KYC (Know Your Customer) process using MyKad, ensuring access to only eligible Malaysians.
