Ministry ensures funding for Malaysian Media Council soon
A follow-up meeting with the 12-member founding board will be held to discuss council-related matters.
Fahmi confirmed that an initial online meeting had taken place, with plans for an in-person session soon.
'As some representatives are outside the Klang Valley, we will arrange a suitable time for all to attend,' he said during a press conference.
The MMC founding board includes four representatives each from media companies, associations, practitioners, and non-media members.
The council aims to strengthen media governance and professionalism in Malaysia.
Separately, Fahmi said the Cabinet was briefed on Op Kesan 4.0, an enforcement operation by the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) to prevent profiteering following the revised Sales and Service Tax (SST) implementation.
He urged the public to report unreasonable price hikes, assuring that KPDN would act swiftly.
On public health concerns, Fahmi noted that the Health Ministry (MOH) has been instructed to monitor the ongoing Southwest Monsoon, which brings extreme heat until September.
The public is advised to heed MetMalaysia's weather warnings and MOH's health advisories.

Expanded SST a bold step, not 'Black Day', says Mahfuz
ALOR STAR: Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) has rebuked opposition leaders who claimed that the implementation of the expanded Sales and Service Tax (SST) on July 1 marks a "black day" for Malaysians. Its vice-president Datuk Mahfuz Omar described such remarks, particularly from Pas leaders, as populist and irresponsible attempts to stoke public emotions without a rational understanding of the country's economic needs. He said the opposition's criticisms were devoid of facts and ignored the importance of sustainable national revenue generation. "This expanded SST framework ensures that government revenue can be collected fairly and redirected to the people through targeted subsidies and aid," he said in a statement today. Mahfuz stressed that essential items, such as rice, poultry, eggs, vegetables, fish, medicines, education and healthcare services remain exempted from the tax. "The tax mainly targets luxury spending, not daily essentials. So it is the high-income earners who are more affected, not the general public," he said. He said the funds generated through SST and the rationalisation of subsidies were being channelled into numerous government aid programmes. Mahfuz also pointed out that Malaysia's SST rate remained among the lowest in the region, at eight per cent, compared to Indonesia's 11 per cent VAT, the Philippines (12 per cent), Vietnam (10 per cent), Cambodia (10 per cent), Laos (10 per cent) and Singapore's GST (9 per cent). "Once again, Pas and the opposition have shown their failure to understand the complexities of governing a nation. They oppose for the sake of opposing, without offering constructive solutions. Yet when they govern their own states, they too impose taxes," he added.

Targeted SST expansion keeps Malaysia's inflation in check, says Amir Hamzah
KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 — The expansion of the scope of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) can control the cascading effect on all goods because it is implemented in a targeted manner and not comprehensively which will burden the people, said Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan. He stressed that the expansion of the scope of SST only applies to some goods and not to most basic daily necessities of the people. 'We can control the cascading effect in what we expand in the SST, like in March last year when we expanded (the SST rate from six per cent to eight per cent) we also had a bubble system and there was no effect. 'If you don't believe me, look at the inflation figures. Is the inflation in Malaysia at a very high level? No. Last year it was 2.0 per cent so it was manageable and under control,' he said during the Keluar Sekejap podcast session broadcast on YouTube, hosted by Khairy Jamaluddin and Shahril Hamdan. According to Amir Hamzah, the government has assessed the need to reduce the burden on the right segments by choosing to expand the scope of SST to only certain goods. 'Because we can choose, who says choosing is wrong? If we choose the right segment and it reaches the right target, then what we are doing is a better way. 'The understanding is that our implementation is targeted, and not across the board which will burden the people and we also need to see what the government does with the results obtained,' he said. Amir Hamzah explained that among the positive impacts that can be seen through the government's efforts is increasing the number of recipients of the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) from 700,000 individuals to 5.4 million recipients. 'They get assistance of between RM50 and RM200 a month to buy basic goods. That is the support that the government can provide when it has the revenue,' he said. Meanwhile, commenting on the issue of the upcoming RON95 subsidy rationalisation, Amir Hamzah said the government is still at the discussion stage in assessing the appropriate mechanism including the use of the Central Database Hub (PADU) system to set the threshold value. 'There is a possibility that we will start with a high cut line because we think that for now, this is the only level we can set. 'This will be discussed in the Cabinet where the cut line is reasonable. We think before the end of this year, we will roll out (subsidy rationalisation of) RON95,' he said. — Bernama

Two firms delay price hikes after KPDN meeting with Armizan
PUTRAJAYA: Two companies, an ice supplier and a frozen food manufacturer, have agreed to delay planned price hikes after discussions with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN). The firms were summoned to justify their proposed adjustments, with Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali confirming the postponement following the meeting. During the session, both companies were instructed to consult KPDN's Enforcement Division before finalising any price changes. Armizan clarified that the firms had cited rising operational costs, not the revised Sales and Services Tax (SST), as the reason for the adjustments. Recent social media claims suggested Sim Yang Hok Industries Sdn Bhd would raise ice block prices from RM3.70 to RM6, while Ramly Burger allegedly imposed a 10 per cent hike starting 1 July 2025. The ice supplier denied the viral post, calling it false, and filed a police report. Armizan confirmed that Ramly Burger received a Goods Information Verification Notice (NPMB) under Section 21 of the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 to justify its pricing review. He reiterated KPDN's commitment to monitoring markets and preventing unjustified price surges.
