KPKT To Ensure People Enjoy Benefits Of Economic Stability
He said KPKT was committed to intensifying and strengthening efforts to ensure that all development initiatives contribute to the people's well-being and comfort.
Nga said the announcement of aid and incentives by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim earlier today reflected a realistic policy that ensured the people, as the backbone of the nation's success, were not overlooked but continually appreciated.
'All economic growth, historic investments, a stronger currency and improved national competitiveness are now directly translated into benefits that impact the people's daily lives.
'These measures are not merely aid initiatives but a recognition of the people's confidence in the MADANI government's leadership in driving the country's reform agenda,' he said in a statement here today.
Nga said KPKT welcomed the prime minister's announcements, particularly the RM100 one-off cash aid for Malaysians aged 18 and above under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) programme and the postponement of toll rate hikes for 10 major highways.
The prime minister had also announced the reduction in the RON95 petrol price to RM1.99 per litre, an additional public holiday on Sept 15 in conjunction with Malaysia Day, and the increase in allocation for the MADANI Rahmah Sales to RM600 million.
'KPKT is confident that with the MADANI spirit and unity among all quarters, Malaysia can progress as a developed nation that is not only economically stable but also fair and equitable for all,' he said.

Malaysia Reiterates Ceasefire Call On Thailand-Cambodia Conflict
PUTRAJAYA, July 26 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has reiterated its appeal to Thailand and Cambodia to exercise maximum restraint, undertake an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, and refrain from taking any action that may undermine peace efforts. As the Chair of ASEAN 2025, Malaysia said it is deeply concerned over the escalation between the two nations, which has resulted in increasing casualties on both sides, destruction of public property, and the displacement of a large number of people along the border areas. 'We reiterate our appeal to both sides to exercise maximum restraint and undertake an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, and refrain from taking any action that may undermine it,' Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said in a statement Saturday. bootstrap slideshow He further urged both sides to return to the negotiating table to restore peace and stability based on the spirit of the ASEAN family, unity, and good neighbourliness. 'We stand ready to continue our work through the good offices of the ASEAN Chair in facilitating both immediate neighbours and fellow members of ASEAN to resume talks and end the fighting,' he added. In the latest development, Malaysia will continue engaging with the leaders of both states to propose a peace process in response to the border conflict between the two countries, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai had expressed appreciation for his initiative to propose a peace process and a ceasefire. On Friday, Anwar said the government does not take lightly the ongoing conflict between Thailand and Cambodia and its impact on Malaysia. Tensions between the two Southeast Asian nations have been escalating since May 28 following a deadly incident in the Preah Vihear area that claimed the life of a Cambodian soldier.

KUCHING, July 26 (Bernama) -- Sarawak Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin said the Kuching-Pontianak route, scheduled to commence on Sept 12 and operate twice daily, would provide greater flexibility and convenience for travellers from both sides of the border. In a statement today, he said the opening of these air routes was not just a milestone in aviation, but also a testament to the strong historical, cultural, and familial ties shared by the people. 'It will boost tourism, trade, education and social linkages, especially among border communities,' he said. According to him, the Sarawak government appreciated the Indonesian government's move to reopen Supadio Airport in Pontianak for international flights, which is a strategic air route connecting Kuching and Pontianak, the capital of West Kalimantan. He said he was formally invited to attend the launch, but was unable to be present due to prior official commitments, and delivered a pre-recorded video message to show his full support. 'I wish to first extend my sincere apologies for not being able to attend today's very special event. 'Nonetheless, I am truly delighted and would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Sarawak Tourism Board for the successful organisation of the Sarawak Travel Fair in Pontianak,' he said in the message. Air Asia Malaysia announced the launch of the two new direct routes connecting Kuala Lumpur and Kuching to Pontianak, to become the only airline operating international flights to the West Kalimantan capital city. In a statement today, the airline said the new routes were unveiled during the Sarawak Travel Fair, organised by the Sarawak Tourism Board in Pontianak, and officially launched by West Kalimantan Governor Ria Norsan.

Malaysia's property bubble: A wake up call
For generations, Malaysians have lived by an unwavering belief: Buy property. It never depreciates. This axiom has been deeply ingrained, marketed as an infallible shield against inflation, a tangible emblem of success and a steadfast repository of wealth consistently outpacing market volatility.
