IT IS not yet election time but shoppers can get a taste of voting through 'Kempen Pilihan Raya Mydin 2025'.
In the campaign, Mydin customers can pick their favourite brands and earn incentives.
Mydin managing director Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin, who launched the campaign at Mydin Subang Jaya, said RM6.8mil worth of discounts, vouchers, and rewards await shoppers.

'We have 57 brand partners participating in this 'election' campaign.
'The objective is for all these brands to compete to provide customers the best offer.'

'You get one vote for each item you buy at Mydin. Be a smart consumer and shop with us,' he said.

Pharmaniaga completes private placement and rights issue; on track to exit PN17 by 1Q26
Pharmaniaga Bhd managing director Zulkifli Jafar. — AZLINA ABDULLAH/The Star PETALING JAYA: Pharmaniaga Bhd has completed a rights issue and a regularisation plan, allowing the company to remain on track to exit its PN17 status by the first quarter of 2026. In a statement, the company said a total of 3.46 billion renounceable rights shares were fully subscribed, with an oversubscription rate of 26.14%, reflecting strong support and confidence from existing shareholders. 'Meanwhile, the private placement exercise attracted 19 new investors, involving 1.66 billion placement shares at a total value of RM223.7mil.' Despite this new equity injection, Pharmaniaga said Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera and Boustead Holdings Bhd remain the group's major shareholders at an aggregate shareholding of 43.9%, each holding 8.7% and 35.2% equity stake respectively. 'Pharmaniaga remains a government-linked company, with continued emphasis on national interest and the well-being of the Malaysian Armed Forces.' Pharmaniaga managing director Datuk Zulkifli Jafar said the oversubscription of the rights issue reflects 'deep market recognition of our business fundamentals, recovery plan and leadership.' 'The group also views the participation of the 19 new institutional and reputable investors in the private placement exercise as a clear endorsement, that aligns with our broader objective of contributing to Malaysia's healthcare resilience and pharmaceutical self-sufficiency, a shared national aspiration,' he said. As both fundraising exercises have been completed, the group is set to conclude the final phase of its regularisation plan, the capital reduction exercise which is targeted for completion by mid-August 2025. 'This marks a major step forward in Pharmaniaga's recovery and efforts to exit PN17 status by the first quarter of 2026,' said Zulkifli. He added that this strengthened balance sheet enables the group to reduce borrowings and scale up our operations, especially in high-impact areas such as development of human insulin, vaccines and other generic drugs. 'We are currently advancing the development of Malaysia's first locally owned insulin and vaccine production facilities.'

Over 90,000 items in over 4,500 stores available under RM100 Sara aid
KUALA LUMPUR: The one-off RM100 cash assistance under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) can be spent at RM4,5000 registered retail outlets covering more than 90,000 daily items. Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said the list of supermarkets and retail stores is not final, and any interested supermarkets or retail outlets may contact the MyKasih Foundation to register. "It covers over 90,000 essential daily items in 14 categories, including staple foods like rice and eggs, household cleaning supplies, medication, school needs and personal hygiene products. "Some of the registered outlets include Giant, Mydin, Bataras, C-Mart, and TF Value-Mart. Retailers wishing to register as Sara Partners can apply through the MyKasih Foundation," he said in the Dewan Rakyat today. He was responding to Syerleena Abdul Rashid (PH–Bukit Bendera), who asked about the application process for the RM100 financial assistance allocated to all under the Sara initiative. Amir Hamzah said they are also open to suggestions to review and include more eligible items. "We will continue to expand this scheme to allow more shops to participate. They simply need to register with Yayasan MyKasih and comply with the guidelines provided. "We encourage wider participation to broaden access. Initially, Sara (back then) only covered a small selection of essential goods, but now more than 90,000 items are eligible for purchase using the credit, and we continue to make improvements. We are open to suggestions," he said. In response to concerns raised by Abdul Latiff Abdul Rahman (PN–Kuala Krai) regarding the impact of the Jualan Rahmah and Sara aid on small traders who struggle to compete with markets offering subsidised goods, Amir Hamzah said there are various avenues available to support small businesses, including existing government schemes. "We encourage small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to explore these initiatives, which can help further stimulate and grow their businesses," he said. On July 22, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that all Malaysians aged 18 and above will receive a one-off RM100 assistance through their MyKad under the Sumbangan Sara programme.

No plans to scrap Mobile Phone Data initiative
Talking tech: Fahmi visiting one of the booths at the International Connectivity Conference Expo in Kuala Lumpur. — RAJA FAISAL HISHAN/The Star PUTRAJAYA has no plans to scrap the Mobile Phone Data (MPD) initiative, as no privacy violations have occurred, says Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said the MPD is in line with Cabinet decisions, local laws and international standards. 'All necessary safety measures have been implemented and the government remains open to improving security mechanisms while continuously monitoring the initiative to maintain public confidence,' Fahmi said in response to Datuk Mohd Suhaimi Abdullah (PN-Langkawi) who asked whether the initiative would be cancelled. Fahmi clarified that the MPD did not involve personally identifiable information and the data provided by mobile network operators (MNOs) was not classified as personal data under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010. He also noted that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), Statistics Department and MNOs held a media briefing on June 9 to explain the initiative. 'The MCMC is aware of public concerns over privacy. However, the data shared by the MNOs is aggregated statistical output, not individual data. 'These statistics are processed internally in a secure environment before being shared with the MCMC,' Fahmi said. He added that MPD provided accurate, granular and near real-time data to support policy planning in telecommunications and tourism, including a focus on Langkawi, in line with the initiative's original mandate. Earlier last month, the MCMC clarified that MNOs are only required to provide eight types of data for the MPD, none of which included names, MyKad numbers or phone numbers. Mobile station international subscriber directory numbers, unique IDs and location data such as latitude and longitude are among the data collected.
