KL firm to pay RM6,799 for failing to honour warranty period
Lee says the KL-based computer company failed to honour the warranty on the graphics processing unit bought by him. A MAN who bought a used graphics processing unit (GPU) from a third-party reseller has successfully filed a claim with the Johor Consumer Claims Tribunal after a company in Kuala Lumpur refused to honour the product's warranty. Lee Jia Chuin, 35, said he purchased the used GPU, also known as graphics card, for RM4,000 in cash from a seller in Taman Johor Jaya, Johor Baru, in October last year. He said the receipt given to him was the original receipt issued, to the first buyer, by a company dealing in computer peripherals and software, based at Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. 'Although I paid RM4,000 to the seller, the company did not issue any receipt or bill for that amount. 'Instead, I was given a receipt dated May 2022, with the price of RM6,799 as the amount,' he said when met outside the tribunal at Menara Ansar in Johor Baru. A GPU takes the burden of processing visual data from the CPU, allowing for smoother and faster rendering of graphics, especially in games and other graphically demanding applications. It typically includes memory chips, a processor core, video output connectors and a cooling system. Lee said the GPU carried a three-year warranty from the date of the original purchase in May 2022. On Feb 15, one of its three cooling fans malfunctioned. 'This led to reduced performance or, in other words, it slowed down and affected work,' he said. Lee returned the GPU to the reseller, who then forwarded it to the Kuala Lumpur-based company for repair, on March 4. 'The GPU was still under warranty and only expired in April 2025, but the company in Kuala Lumpur refused to fix the problems, citing that I bought it from a reseller,' Lee said. He claimed the company had deliberately delayed repairs even though it was aware the product was still under warranty. 'Another reason given by the company was that the serial numbers of the GPU did not tally with the original receipt,' he said, although he maintained that the serial numbers did match. Tribunal president Hafez Zalkapli ordered the company to refund RM6,799 to the claimant within two weeks. Those seeking tribunal assistance can call 07-227 1755 or 07-227 1766, or visit the Johor Tribunal office at Level 17, Menara Ansar, Jalan Trus, Johor Baru.

Anwar: Fiscal Discipline Is Working, New Debt Down To RM77 Billion
Credits to PMO FB Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim reaffirmed that his administration has successfully reduced the country's annual new debt to RM77 billion in 2024, a significant drop from RM99 billion in 2022, signalling stronger fiscal prudence. Speaking at the monthly gathering of the Prime Minister's Department in Putrajaya today, he clarified that only the interest payments on legacy debt remain burdensome. 'The new debt taken by the government was RM99 billion in 2022, reduced to RM93 billion in 2023, and in 2024, the total is RM77 billion… that's a reduction,' he said. Criticising misleading claims circulating publicly, Anwar pointed out that some parties continue to accuse the government of increasing debt, despite the data. 'They say the overall debt is higher, including legacy debt and interest payments, but I've stated clearly that the government pledged to reduce new debt, and we've delivered. 'However, what's being spread around suggests that we're increasing the debt, as if we're deceiving the people. If you look at these figures, who's really lying?' he asked. He also underscored that this debt reduction aligns with efforts to narrow the country's fiscal deficit. The government aims to bring the deficit down to 3.8% in 2025 from 4.1% this year and 5.5% in 2022. Anwar explained that the government opted for a gradual reduction approach to avoid disrupting development and market confidence. 'We took over in 2022, and at the time, the fiscal deficit was 5.5%. What is a deficit? It means spending exceeds the country's revenue, which means we are borrowing,' he said. 'We manage the national economy like a household. If your income is RM5,000 but you spend RM7,000, that's a deficit. So now we're reducing expenses to RM6,500, RM6,000, RM5,500, but if we cut too fast, development would stall.' The Prime Minister also credited the civil service's efforts, highlighting Malaysia's 11-spot jump in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025 to 23rd place, up from 34th last year, the country's best showing since 2020. The rise, announced by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) in June, was attributed to improvements in economic performance and government efficiency. He further noted that the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its Article IV Mission report for 2025, commended Malaysia's fiscal reform agenda, particularly the introduction of the Public Finance and Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA). 'What does that mean? It means the Finance Minister has handed over part of his powers to Parliament to assess if targets are not being met. That's what we've done,' he said. Related

Govt succeeds in reducing new debt
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the government has succeeded in reducing annual new debt to RM77 billion in 2024 from RM99 billion in 2022. This, he said, fulfils the government's commitment to more prudent fiscal management, with only the interest payments on old debts yet to be reduced. "The new debt that the government has incurred was RM99 billion in 2022, dropping to RM93 billion in 2023, and in 2024 the total is RM77 billion... that is less. "They say the total amount (of debt) is more, added with the old debt and the interest that we have to pay, but I said the government promised to reduce new debt – we have fulfilled that. "But what is being spread around... we are increasing (the debt), so it is as if we are deceiving the people. If you look at these figures, who is deceiving?" he said when speaking at the Prime Minister's Department monthly assembly here today. Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said annual new debt had been successfully reduced in line with the drop in the fiscal deficit, while giving the commitment that the government would continue reducing the deficit in stages and responsibly, without affecting national development. He said the government had reduced the country's fiscal deficit from 5.5 per cent in 2022 to 4.1 per cent in 2024, with a target of 3.8 per cent for this year. He explained that the government had opted for a gradual approach so that deficit reduction would not come at the expense of development needs or market confidence. "We took over in 2022. The fiscal deficit at that time was 5.5 per cent. What is a deficit? It means spending exceeds national income, which means we are in debt. "We manage the national economy like a household economy. If the income is RM5,000 but the expenditure is RM7,000, that is a deficit. "So now we are reducing the expenditure to RM6,500, RM6,000, RM5,500. If it drops suddenly, then (development) cannot proceed," he said. The Prime Minister also praised the civil service for its contributions that helped Malaysia jump 11 places in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025 to 23rd position, up from 34th in 2024, driven by improved economic performance and administrative efficiency. In June, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) announced that Malaysia had achieved its best performance since 2020 in the World Competitiveness Ranking (WCR), reflecting progressive momentum in the country's economic recovery and reform agenda. MITI said Malaysia is on track to be among the world's 12 most competitive economies by 2033, in line with the MADANI Economy Framework. Anwar added that the International Monetary Fund, in its Article IV consultation for 2025, had praised Malaysia's commitment to implementing fiscal reforms, including the Public Finance and Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA). "What does that mean? It means the Finance Minister has handed over some of his powers to Parliament to assess if the target has been met," he said. — BERNAMA
