MITRA endorses 45 applications for PPSMI grant worth RM40 mln
The applications are currently being processed for approval at the Prime Minister's Office.
MITRA Special Task Force Committee chairman P. Prabakaran said all 45 applications, totalling RM40 million, aim to implement activities that directly contribute to enhancing the socioeconomic status of the Indian community.
'MITRA received over 1,332 applications for PPSMI between Dec 2, 2024, and Jan 5. Out of this number, 1,073 applications were rejected for failing to meet the mandatory criteria, while the remaining applications are still under evaluation for subsequent approval phases,' he said in today's press conference on the status of PPSMI 2025 held here.
Prabakaran said that reasons for rejection included incomplete application forms, applicants submitting multiple applications under different organisations, individuals declared bankrupt, and organisations lacking the capacity or experience to carry out the proposed programmes.
'MITRA appreciates the patience and cooperation of all applicants, as this process involves three stages of evaluation conducted transparently and with full integrity,' he said, adding that the outcome of the PPSMI applications will be announced by June 30 at the latest.

US, India in talks on deal that may cut tariff below 20%
India and the US have dug in their heels over a few key issues including Washington's demand that India open its market to genetically modified crops - an ask New Delhi has rejected, citing risks to its farmers. - Bloomberg WASHINGTON: The US is working toward an interim trade deal with India that may reduce its proposed tariffs to below 20 per cent, people familiar with the matter said, putting the South Asian nation in a favourable position against its peers in the region. India doesn't expect to receive a tariff demand letter - unlike many other nations this week - and anticipates the trade arrangement will be announced through a statement, the people said, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private. The interim deal would allow for continued talks, giving New Delhi space to resolve outstanding issues ahead of a broader agreement expected this fall, they said. The statement would likely set a baseline tariff below 20 per cent - compared with 26 per cent initially proposed - with language that would allow the two sides to continue negotiating the rate as part of the final pact, the people said. The timing of an interim agreement is unclear. If finalised, India would be on a short list of trading partners that have secured deals with the Trump administration. US President Donald Trump has otherwise shocked dozens of trading partners this week by announcing tariff rates of as high as 50 per cent in some cases ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline. India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry didn't respond to an email seeking further information. The White House and Commerce Department also did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The US$10.2 billion iShares MSCI India pared losses after the report of an interim trade deal. New Delhi is seeking to secure a deal on more favourable terms than the one Trump said he signed with Vietnam, which included 20 per cent import duties. However, Vietnam was caught off guard by that rate, and is still seeking to bring it down. The UK is the only other country that Trump has announced a trade deal with. On Thursday, Trump told NBC News he's eyeing blanket tariffs of 15 to 20 per cent on most trading partners who haven't been informed yet of their rates. The current global baseline minimum levy for nearly all US trading partners is ten per cent. Tariff rates announced for Asian nations so far range from 20 per cent for Vietnam and the Philippines to 40 per cent for Laos and Myanmar. India was among the first nations to approach the White House for trade talks this year, but signs of strain have emerged in recent weeks. While Trump said earlier this week that an agreement with India is close, he has also threatened additional tariffs over the country's participation in the BRICS group. A team of Indian negotiators is expected to visit Washington soon to advance the talks. India has already put forward its best offer to the Trump administration, making clear the red lines it won't cross in finalising an agreement, Bloomberg News previously reported. Both sides have dug in their heels over a few key issues including Washington's demand that India open its market to genetically modified crops - an ask New Delhi has rejected, citing risks to its farmers. The two nations are yet to find a landing zone on contentious issues, including non-tariff barriers in agriculture and regulatory processes in the pharmaceutical industry, people familiar with the matter said. - Bloomberg

Malaysian Indian Restaurant Owners' Association (Primas) president J. Govindasamy Price of popular fare to rise amid soaring operating costs PETALING JAYA: Prices of banana leaf meals, tomyam and fried rice are likely to go up by month's end as eateries are buckling under rising operating costs. Industry leaders say the combined impact of higher prices for ingredients, logistics, labour and new energy tariffs is pushing many establishments to the brink. Some are saying that the hike in prices could be between 10sen and 50sen depending on the dish and the location of the eatery. Malaysian Indian Restaurant Operators Association (Primas) president Datuk J. Govindasamy ( pic ) said many members have tried to maintain their prices in spite of escalating costs, but this is no longer possible. ALSO READ: 'Govt ready to clamp down on arbitrary hikes' 'Operators are facing sharp hikes in the cost of rice, cooking oil, spices and other essentials. 'We've tried to hold back, but with electricity bills also expected to go up this month, many simply can't sustain it any longer.' Govindasamy noted that restaurants have been cooperating with the Dom-estic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry to maintain prices, but the latest wave of cost increases – particularly with the Sales and Service Tax (SST) now covering a wider range of goods – is proving too much to bear. 'While prepared food is not taxed under SST, many of our supplies now are. ALSO READ: Sales tax not the sole cause behind bitter hit 'That includes cleaning items like detergents and napkins, which are essential to daily operations,' he explained. He added that ingredients, which were previously exempt from SST, are now subject to rates of 6% or even 8%, depending on the supplier. 'These costs add up quickly and are eating into already-thin margins,' he said, adding that many restaurants are closely monitoring the situation and may adjust prices from mid-July to early August as new supply orders are placed. ALSO READ: Johor restaurants to weigh impact of SST expansion first He noted that SST is now also applied to rent and utilities, compounding the financial burden on operators. Primas represents some 1,500 Indian restaurants across the country. Govindasamy also suggested that the government consider reintroducing the Goods and Services Tax, which he said is a more structured system with input tax credits. Tomyam restaurant owners are also saying they would meet this month to decide on raising prices, according to Pertubuhan Sahabat Tomyam Prihatin SeMalaysia adviser Che Mamad Che Mod. 'Prices of raw ingredients have already gone up by 10% to 20% since the start of the year – even before the expected increase in gas prices. 'Vegetables like kangkung and kailan are now selling for RM7 to RM9 per kg, compared to just RM2.50 and RM4.60 previously. It's difficult to find kangkung for under RM4 these days,' he added. Although there are over 1,000 tomyam eateries across the country, most operators have so far resisted raising prices. 'Last year, we agreed to hold back any increase out of concern for the public. If we're struggling, others must be struggling more. We slashed our margins to support the government's efforts.' But this year, Che Mamad said operational costs have climbed across the board – from ingredients to utilities to staff, which includes permit fees, insurance, EPF and Socso contributions for migrant workers.

Indian Super League on hold as contract renewal talks stall
INDIA'S top-flight soccer league, the Indian Super League, is on hold, the country's football federation (AIFF) announced on Saturday, citing stalled negotiations for a contract renewal with their commercial partners, Reliance-led Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL). Talks to renew the 2010 agreement stalled after India's Supreme Court asked the AIFF not to renew their deal with FSDL until its order, the federation said. A case to implement a new constitution for the AIFF is ongoing at the country's Supreme Court. 'The AIFF was advised by its legal counsel that during a hearing on April 26, 2025, the Honourable Supreme Court of India made an observation that the renewal of the Master Rights Agreement should not be done until its order,' the AIFF said. 'Consequently, based on legal advice... renewal discussions have been in abeyance.' Media reports said that the deal between the AIFF and FSDL is set to expire in December. The 2024-25 season of the ISL kicked off in September, featuring 13 clubs. 'The AIFF and its stakeholders will take all possible steps and do all things within their power to ensure continuity of the ISL in the best interests of Indian football,' the AIFF added. - Reuters
