Pahang Rahmad MADANI sales hit RM25 million in first half of 2025
Pahang Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) director Jezlily Jamaluddin stated that the programme aims to conduct 1,008 sessions this year, offering essential goods at 10 to 30 per cent below market prices.
'Rural communities are a key focus, with events held twice monthly across all 42 state constituencies,' she said. The PJRM schedule is accessible via the Pahang KPDN Facebook page and the ministry's official website.
Launched in January 2023, PJRM is a year-round effort to support low-income households by reducing living costs. Discounted items include staple foods like chicken, fish, eggs, and rice, along with household and personal care products.
Separately, Jezlily reported that Ops Gasak, an enforcement operation targeting illegal LPG usage, has seized 1,343 subsidised gas cylinders worth nearly RM40,000 since May. Raids were conducted in Kuantan, Raub, Temerloh, and Rompin following public complaints and inspections.
'Hotels, factories, and fast-food chains have switched to unsubsidised LPG, while small businesses like eateries and laundromats retain access to subsidised supplies,' she explained. Authorities held discussions with suppliers and conducted awareness sessions before enforcement began. - Bernama

However, Chong requested that her clients be given the minimum possible fine because they had all repented and promised to change. 'My client Mohd Hanafi has a health problem and underwent brain surgery in 2016. He is currently supported by his sister, who is a persons with disabilities (PWD) working in a restaurant.

Three fined for having gay porn content on phones
PETALING JAYA: Three individuals, including two students from higher education institutions, have been fined a total of RM11,000 after pleading guilty to having same-sex pornographic content on their phones. Al Azamuddin Al Fadzil, 22, from Setiawan, Perak and Mohamad Syahmi Firas Mohd Jurij, 27, from Bachok, Kelantan were fined RM4,000 each while Mohd Mohd Hanafi Ibrahim, 47, from Kota Baru was fined RM3,000 at the Kota Baru Magistrate's Court, Sinar Harian reported. The trio were charged with possessing the content on their phones in a house on Jalan Kemumin, Kampung Belacang, Kota Baru on June 18. Charges were filed under Section 292 of Penal Code, which brings a maximum jail term of three years, or a fine, or both, if convicted. The trio were released after paying the fines. This comes after police raided a bungalow in Kemumin, Kota Baru, where a "gay sex party" supposedly took place. The raid sparked controversy after several non-governmental organisations and individuals denied that any illicit activities took place. In a joint statement, Suaram, the Women's Aid Organisation, Parti Sosialis Malaysia and Amnesty International Malaysia refuted claims of immoral conduct, stating that "the participants attended to get information and undergo sexual health tests." The Malaysian AIDS Council also confirmed that a field engagement session was conducted on June 17 in Kota Baru under the Different HIV Services for Key Population programme, which is supported by the Health Ministry. Kelantan Deputy Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan has since called for a fair and thorough investigation into the matter.
