Govt saves RM135mil in three months from egg subsidy cut
KUALA LUMPUR: The reduction of the egg subsidy from 10 sen to 5 sen has allowed the government to save RM135 million over the three months since May 1, ahead of its full discontinuation on August 1, said Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu. He said the reduction and eventual removal of the egg subsidy is not expected to affect the stability of the egg supply, as the industry is currently showing positive trends, including a drop in poultry feed costs. "The retargeting of subsidies and removal of price controls on eggs will enable the government to reduce expenditure and reallocate subsidy funds to initiatives and programmes that provide direct benefits to the people," he said in reply to Datuk Seri Sh Mohmed Puzi Sh Ali (BN-Pekan). Sh Mohmed Puzi was asked about the retargeting of the egg subsidy from 10 sen to 5 sen per egg, the savings through the reduction in subsidy expenditure, the impact on the egg market, and the effect on the overall cost of living. Mohamad said at present, the supply of chicken eggs remains stable and is being sold at reasonable prices. He said this month, the estimated monthly egg production is 1.75 billion eggs, while domestic consumption needs are estimated at 1.06 billion eggs. "This indicates a surplus of approximately 0.69 billion eggs, part of which will be allocated for export markets." He said the annual inflation rate for chicken eggs recorded a decline of 5.3 per cent in May. "However, this decrease has not occurred uniformly across all egg grades, likely due to a market price adjustment phase following the implementation of targeted subsidies." He said to ensure egg supply and prices remain stable, the ministry, together with the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, will continue close monitoring of the egg market to prevent supply disruptions and profiteering that could burden consumers. "Both ministries are also carrying out continuous enforcement and monitoring measures to maintain price stability and prevent any leakages that may undermine consumer interests."

Express Powerr inks underwriting agreement with Mercury Securities for ACE Market IPO
KUALA LUMPUR: Generator rental services provider, Express Powerr Solutions (M) Bhd signed an underwriting agreement with Mercury Securities Sdn Bhd for its upcoming initial public offering (IPO) on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia. Express Powerr managing director Lim Cheng Ten said the company is entering a new phase of growth, and this underwriting agreement marks a significant step towards its listing on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia. 'This move will accelerate our expansion into new end-user markets, including the oil and gas industry, and broaden our geographical coverage. 'With this in mind, we see great potential in the oil and gas sector. The industry typically operates in remote and challenging environments, where generators are required as temporary power solutions during exploration, drilling and production operations,' he said in a statement. He said in the first nine months of 2024 alone, 27 oil and gas projects worth RM4.46 billion were approved, presenting strong prospects for the industry. In the utility sector, Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has invested RM21 billion in its Grid of the Future programme to enhance its transmission and distribution network. As generator sets are widely used in the engineering, procurement, and construction of power grids as well as other generation and transmission projects, these developments reinforce the continued relevance of the generator rental business, Lim said. Express Power provides generator rental services, which are utilised in critical emergencies such as power outages and planned maintenance, and serve as standby power for events and special occasions, providing a reliable power source when needed most. The group also supplies ancillary items, including distribution boards, generator synchronisation panels, transformers, switchgears, load banks, and cables, to meet the varied requirements of its customers. With a 20-year track record, the group owns a fleet of 111 generator units, ranging in capacity from low- to high-voltage systems. Over 70% of the fleet consists of mobile generator units mounted on trucks, designed for easy transportation and deployment to various locations. The remaining units are canopy generators, which are commonly used in outdoor settings or areas where noise reduction is important. Routine maintenance is performed in-house, with generators inspected and maintained every 300 operational hours to ensure reliability and minimise downtime. In addition to its core business, the group is also registered as a solar photovoltaics (PV) investor under the Net Energy Metering (NEM) programme and a PV service provider by Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (SEDA). This enables the group to install rooftop solar PV systems for both residential and commercial properties. Though still in its early stages, this expansion aligns with Malaysia's net-zero emission target by 2050 and supports the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions. As a testament to its growing reputation for delivering quality generator rental services, Express Powerr became an approved vendor of TNB in 2021 and subsequently secured service contracts with TNB in 2022 after having supplied generators indirectly to TNB since 2005. The group has also expanded its geographical footprint to Sabah last year, providing services indirectly to Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB). Beyond electric utility companies, Express Powerr serves a diverse range of end-user industries, including mechanical and electrical, manufacturing, construction, and event industries, as well as government agencies. The IPO exercise comprises a public issue of 180.0 million new ordinary shares, representing approximately 19.3% of the company's enlarged issued share capital, and an offer for sale of 65.4 million existing shares, equivalent to 7.0% of the enlarged share capital. Of the 180.0 million new shares, 46.7 million will be offered to the Malaysian public via balloting, 18.7 million allocated to eligible directors, employees, and contributors to the group's success, 63.2 million placed privately with selected investors, and 51.4 million placed with Bumiputera investors approved by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (Miti). The 65.4 million existing shares under the offer for sale will also be allocated to Bumiputera investors approved by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti). Under the underwriting agreement, Mercury Securities has agreed to underwrite a total of 65.4 million Issue Shares made available to the Malaysian public and Pink Form Allocations. Express Powerr is scheduled to be listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia by the third quarter of 2025. Mercury Securities serves as the principal adviser, sponsor, sole underwriter and sole placement agent for the IPO exercise.

Egg subsidy cut saves gov't RM135m over three months
KUALA LUMPUR: The government expects to save RM135 million over three months following the reduction in egg subsidies from 10 sen to five sen per egg, effective since May 1. The move precedes the complete removal of price controls on August 1. Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said the subsidy cut reduces government spending by RM45 million monthly. He assured that egg supply remains stable, with market prices staying reasonable. 'As of July 2, estimated monthly production was 1.75 billion eggs, while domestic demand is around 1.06 billion. This leaves a surplus of about 690 million eggs, some of which are exported,' he said in the Dewan Rakyat today. He was responding to Pekan MP Datuk Seri Sh Mohmed Puzi Sh Ali, who inquired about the savings from the subsidy adjustment and its effect on prices and living costs. Mohamad added that the subsidy reduction and eventual removal will not disrupt the egg industry, which is benefiting from lower chicken feed costs. The government plans to redirect funds to more impactful public programmes. He noted that egg inflation dropped by 5.3 per cent in May, though not all egg grades saw equal price adjustments under the new subsidy system. To ensure stability, the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry will collaborate with the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry to monitor supply and prevent profiteering. - Bernama
