Kelantan deputy MB: Illegal border crossings in Kelantan raise serious security concerns
KOTA BHARU, July 6 — The presence of dozens of illegal crossings along the Kelantan-Thailand border has raised serious national security concerns, said Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan. He emphasised that Kelantan's border is an integral part of Malaysia's international boundary with Thailand and must be protected with utmost vigilance. 'The border spans approximately 105 kilometres, with most of it covering Sungai Golok, which separates Kelantan from Thailand's Narathiwat province. 'There are only three official entry points, namely Rantau Panjang, Bukit Bunga and Pengkalan Kubor. However, behind these checkpoints lie dozens of illegal crossings frequently used for cross-border activities,' he said in a statement on his official Facebook page today. Mohamed Fadzli also noted that the region's geography and close familial ties between communities on both sides of the border further heighten its vulnerability to security threats. In light of this, the state government stressed the need to strengthen border enforcement through increased personnel deployment, enhanced security assets and coordinated efforts among all relevant agencies. He added that the state government is fully committed to working together to ensure the nation's borders remain secure. 'This is a shared responsibility to safeguard our sovereignty, protect public safety and secure the future of our nation,' he said. — Bernama

SST And New Electricity Tariffs: Relief Measures To Ease Transition
Despite early concerns over rising living costs, the rollout includes various measures designed to cushion the impact, especially for households and small businesses. PUTRAJAYA, July 6 (Bernama) -- As Malaysia enters the second half of 2025, the government's fiscal recalibration through an expanded Sales and Service Tax (SST) and revised electricity tariffs mark a strategic move to strengthen national finances while prioritising the welfare of the rakyat. For the average Malaysian, the mood is gradually shifting from anxiety to cautious optimism, as support mechanisms are in place to help those most in need. From tax exemptions on personal care services such as haircuts, facials and manicures, to anticipated cash assistance and a more progressive electricity tariff system where higher usage brackets are charged more, the government appears to be listening and responding to public sentiment. He also raised the SST registration threshold for leasing and financial services from RM500,000 to RM1 million, offering relief to smaller businesses. Meanwhile, services such as haircuts, facials and manicures have been excluded from the expanded SST, a modest but welcome move that helps maintain the affordability of everyday self-care. The government has expanded the SST to cover more services and selected imported goods as part of efforts to boost revenue. However, following engagement sessions and public feedback, Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim recently announced tax exemptions for four imported fruits commonly found on Malaysian dining tables - apples, oranges, mandarin oranges and dates. 'This move helps maintain the affordability of key food items and supports household purchasing power,' said Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid. Another key policy change taking effect this month is the revised electricity tariff, which affects more than 23.6 million domestic users in Peninsular Malaysia. The new rates, effective from July 1, 2025 until Dec 31, 2027, fall under the Incentive-Based Regulation (IBR) framework under Section 26 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990. The Energy Commission has set the average base tariff rate at 45.40 sen per kilowatt-hour, slightly lower than the 45.62 sen approved in December 2024. This adjustment is expected to reduce overall electricity costs while promoting energy-saving habits, particularly during off-peak hours. External challenges remain Despite domestic reforms, global uncertainties continue to weigh on Malaysia's economic outlook. Mohd Afzanizam warned that the upcoming expiry of the United States' temporary suspension of reciprocal tariffs on July 9 could increase pressure on Malaysian exports if Washington reimposes steep duties. However, the administration of US President Donald Trump has signalled the possibility of extending the suspension, a move that could offer short-term relief to Malaysian exporters, particularly in the electrical and electronics, palm oil, rubber and machinery sectors. Economists say such an extension would reflect a more measured US trade stance and could help stabilise global market sentiment, which is a much-needed breather for emerging economies navigating inflation, currency volatility and geopolitical risks. At the same time, ongoing tensions in the Middle East continue to fuel oil price fluctuations, adding pressure to Malaysia's fuel subsidy rationalisation efforts. Global price volatility could increase consumer costs and complicate the implementation of subsidy reforms. Relief measures and stronger fiscal footing While the government's fiscal reforms are geared toward long-term stability, public sentiment remains sensitive to immediate cost-of-living issues. Uncertainty still lingers over the implementation of RON95 fuel subsidy rationalisation and the full impact of SST and electricity adjustments on consumer behaviour. Nevertheless, there are signs of relief on the horizon. Mohd Afzanizam noted that there may be room for monetary easing, including a potential 25 basis points cut in the overnight policy rate (OPR) as early as this month (July 9). In a separate move, Bank Negara Malaysia's decision in May to reduce the statutory reserve requirement by 100 basis points had already injected about RM19 billion into the banking system, providing liquidity to support economic activity. 'On the fiscal front, the government's disciplined approach appears to be yielding results. The fiscal deficit narrowed to RM22 billion or 4.5 per cent of gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2025, down from RM26 billion or 5.7 per cent in the same period last year. 'Savings from the diesel subsidy rationalisation and SST reforms introduced in 2024 have opened up fiscal space, enabling the government to increase targeted assistance. The combined allocation for Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah and Sumbangan Asas Rahmah has been raised to RM13 billion this year from RM10 billion in 2024. 'This careful balancing act is supporting investor confidence and helping to preserve Malaysia's sovereign credit ratings,' he said. International rating agencies like Moody's, S&P, and Fitch are expected to maintain Malaysia's current sovereign ratings, a crucial factor in attracting long-term foreign investment. As Malaysians adjust to this new fiscal environment, the coming months will test not only household resilience but also the government's ability to sustain reforms while protecting the wellbeing of the rakyat. -- BERNAMA BERNAMA provides up-to-date authentic and comprehensive news and information which are disseminated via BERNAMA Wires; BERNAMA TV on Astro 502, unifi TV 631 and MYTV 121 channels and BERNAMA Radio on FM93.9 (Klang Valley), FM107.5 (Johor Bahru), FM107.9 (Kota Kinabalu) and FM100.9 (Kuching) frequencies.

PMX gets all-round grilling after his RM8.13b 'potential investments' from Italy unveiling
ONCE bitten twice (or many times) shy. Man-on-the-street Malaysians are certainly getting bolder by the day for they already know how to distinguish between potential or pledged investment from actual, realised or approved investment. Such rudimentary economic knowledge is essential given every time Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim embarks on an official visit abroad, the 'billion-ringgit sign' is bound to flash as fruits from his overseas exploits. But as the degree of trust deficit widens in tandem with expansion in the Sales and Service Tax (SST) scope effective July 1, it seems that Malaysians at large who have grown accustomed to the 'potential investment' phrase have begun to equate it as nothing more than a 'promotional gimmick'. As spill-over effect from the SST and electricity tariff review will prompt traders to raise prices, thus burning a bigger hole in their pockets (coupled with concerns over the RON95 subsidy pullback soon), it seems that every action of the Madani government has come under scrutiny. This is evident with a ' self-praise' post on the PKR Facebook page of PMX unveiling that 'Malaysia is successful of netting RM8.13 bil in potential investment in Italy' which has since garnered 15K likes, 8.3K comments and 381 shares at the time of writing. 'What has been the outcome from potential investments unveiled during previous trips? Have they been realised? Hope there is news coverage on this … Or is the so-called 'potential'(investment) merely a DREAM,' wondered a commenter whose comment top the list with 1.3K likes. Others snubbed PMX for either deceiving either Malaysians with his 'billion' trademark every time he steps out of the country or 'only bring home rude surprises (ie in the form of new taxes)'. This is when a commenter advised PMX 'not to disclose (the figures) when still in 'potential' stage' but only to do so once he can confirm that the investments he brought home had been realised or approved. This led to Madani government chieftain been hailed as 'Bapa Potensi' (on top of few other earlier unceremonious titles such as Cukaiman and father of national taxation) with some commenters bluntly ticking him off 'for glaringly bluffing the masses'. Opposition has a field day Adding fuel to fire is the opposition faction with twice former premier and PMX's former mentor-turned-nemesis Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad leading the chorus with his sarcasm, 'Bapa FDI is at it again'. 'Already RM680 bil (BILLION) has come (in). You cannot see it because the factories are invisible,' teased the centenarian who is now the Perikatan Nasional (PN) adviser in a post on X. BAPA FDI 1. Hooray. 2. Now Italy 'is set to invest RM8.13 billion in Malaysia'. Great! 3. Wait for France and Brazil? More billions. 4. 'Bapa FDI' is at it again. 5. Already RM680 bil. (BILLION) has come. 6. You cannot see it because the factories are… — Dr Mahathir Mohamad (@chedetofficial) July 4, 2025 'In the meantime, (the) Mahakaya have to pay tax. Not the Mahamiskin (yet) somehow indirectly the miskin suffers. We want more visit to foreign countries so that more invisible FDI will come.' Former Barisan Nasional (BN) strategic communication deputy director Datuk Eric See-To applauded PMX's latest economic gallantry by listing down a slew of previously reported 'potential investments' (from various overseas trips since PMX assumed premiership on Nov 24, 2022). Referring to The Star report, pro-opposition cybertrooper jediMASTER (@jedimaster909) enlightened that what claimed to be 'potential investment' is 'Malaysia paying out to Italy' for the purchase of: 28 Leonardo AW149 helicopters Multi Role Support Ships (MRSS) Littoral Mission Ships (LMS) Two maritime patrol aircrafts So Anwar & PH claiming RM8 billions deals signed in Italy! Msia to purchase: – 28 Leonardo AW149 Helicopters – Multi Role Support Ships (MRSS) – Littoral Mission Ships (LMS) – 2 Maritime Patrol Aircraft's 🤦♀️🤦♂️ This is Msia Paying Out to Italy! — jediMASTER (@jedimaster909) July 4, 2025 Central PAS Information Committee Research and Policy Department director Nurul Islam Mohamed Yusoff wondered if the magical RM8.13 bil was 'recycled from an old investment report' of a joint venture between PETRONAS and Eni S.P.A in Pengerang, Johor in the sustainable aviation fuel sector. 'If you research, you will find news about the collaboration which was announced on July 26, 2024 whereby. PETRONAS, Eni S.P.A and Euglena Co Ltd reached an investment agreement to build a bio-refinery in Pengerang,' revealed the PAS activist in a Facebook post. 'This story has long settled but because we want to paint a beautiful picture from PMX's latest trip, the best resort is to recycle an old story'. – July 6, 2025
