KPKT voluntarily submits MyKiosk documents to MACC
In a statement, KPKT said the documents were handed over by the director-general of the Local Government Department, Datuk Mohd Fadzli Mohd Kenali, at MACC headquarters in Putrajaya, following allegations of irregularities in the project.
Mohd Fadzli, accompanied by a team from the ministry, came forward to provide full cooperation, despite no formal request having been made by the MACC.
'This reflects KPKT's strong commitment to strengthening governance systems and upholding good administrative practices.
'The ministry is also determined to ensure that no element of abuse of power or misappropriation is involved in the implementation of the MyKiosk programme, which is aimed at benefiting small traders,' the statement read.
'By submitting these documents to the MACC, we aim to assure the public that every aspect of the programme's implementation is transparent and follows proper procedures,' the ministry said.
KPKT also clarified that all procurement and contractor appointments under the MyKiosk project were conducted by 133 local authorities through open quotation processes.
As a result, 795 contractors have been appointed by local authorities nationwide.
'The ceiling cost for MyKiosk 2.0 is RM25,000. The unit price for each kiosk is reasonable and allows contractors to compete fairly through a transparent and open quotation process at their respective local authority.
'All allocations related to MyKiosk were listed under Budget Initiatives and submitted to the Ministry of Finance in line with established procedures,' KPKT said.

Kedah Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief, Superintendent Loi Yew Lik said the 44-year-old man lodged a police report at 1.04pm Monday after realising he was a victim of an investment scam. "On May 11, the complainant had come across a Facebook advertisement offering an investment opportunity and later contacted several individuals via WhatsApp. "The suspects promised daily returns of 10 per cent, and from May 14 to June 17, the victim transferred a total of RM302,100," he said in a statement today. According to Loi, the complainant made 18 transactions to three different accounts but became suspicious and realised he had been scammed when the suspects requested additional funds for him to withdraw both the promised returns and his capital.

Sabah expands support for fishermen, including in Semporna
Published on: Tuesday, July 08, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 08, 2025 By: Hayati Dzulkifli Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government continues to boost the livelihoods of local fishermen through various assistance programs, regardless of their registration with local Area Fishermen Associations (PNK), said Assistant Minister II Datuk Peto Galim. He said initiatives under the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Industry include equipment aid like boats, engines, nets, GPS units, and life jackets, especially for poor and hardcore poor fishermen. As of 2024, Sabah has 26,682 fishermen, with 5,158 in Semporna. Six Semporna fishermen received direct aid this year, with another 12 expected to benefit soon. Through Ko-Nelayan, the ministry also offers microcredit via i-Nelayan (up to RM10,000 for fishing gear) and i-Hiliran (up to RM100,000 for fish-based product operators). From 2024–2025, eight Semporna fishermen and 13 downstream operators benefited from these schemes. Fishermen also receive free SKM-certified training in skills such as boat building and engine maintenance, while the e-SMART app and e-KAN platform help them locate fishing spots and sell products online. To date, eight Semporna fishermen use e-SMART, while 16 local operators on e-KAN have recorded RM5.23 million in sales. 'These efforts show our ongoing commitment to improving the well-being of fishermen in Sabah, especially in Semporna,' Peto said. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
