ANGKASA Eyes Early Achievement Of RM73 Bln Cooperative Revenue Target
Its president Datuk Seri Dr Abdul Fattah Abdullah attributed the upbeat forecast to steady annual growth of around RM5 billion, buoyed by broader economic expansion and a range of government-backed initiatives aimed at strengthening the sector.
'The government has introduced various programmes to energise cooperative businesses, which have had a direct impact on revenue,' he said at the ANGKASA Terengganu Cooperative Appreciation Ceremony 2025 held here today.
Also present were the Terengganu Cooperative Commission director Awang Ruslli Mohammad and ANGKASA Terengganu chairman Mohamed Yusoff.
Abdul Fattah noted that a key factor behind the momentum is the MADANI Rahmah Sales Programme.
Last year, the government allocated RM2 million to support 200 ANGKASA-linked cooperatives under the initiative. That funding has since grown to RM10 million, benefiting 444 cooperatives this year.
Looking ahead, he said ANGKASA aims to establish 400 new mosque-based cooperatives in 2025, adding to the 600 currently in operation.
These grassroots initiatives are intended to boost local economic participation and self-reliance, he added.
Abdul Fattah also pointed to rising cooperative engagement in food production and retail as a key revenue driver.

13MP to dominate upcoming Dewan Rakyat session, expected to run late into the night, says Speaker
Johari says his office has received a wide range of motions from the MPs, indicating a packed and intense session ahead. – Bernama photo SUNGAI PETANI (July 18): The upcoming Dewan Rakyat session, scheduled to begin next Monday until August 28, is expected to run into the night with the main focus being the tabling and debate of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul said his office has received a wide range of motions from the honourable Members of Parliament (MPs), indicating a packed and intense session ahead. 'So I call on the people on the ground, when the 13MP is tabled, they have to inform their MPs about what they want to be raised in Parliament. 'Tag their MPs (on social media) so that their voices can be heard. Don't wait until the MPs return to their constituencies to complain. Raise the issue while Parliament is in session,' he said after officiating the National Information Dissemination Centre (NADI) at Taman Pekan Baru today. Johari said the sitting will probably be extended into the night to accommodate the packed schedule, beginning daily at 10am and possibly continuing until 10pm or 11pm. Johari noted that the tabling of the 13MP is particularly significant as Malaysia holds the Asean Chairmanship this year, and it offers an opportunity to showcase the country's resilience and progress amid global uncertainties. In another development, he urged the public to fully utilise services made available at NADI centres to improve their livelihoods and economic opportunities. 'NADI isn't just about digital access or community programmes. It can be a one-stop centre for people to obtain vital information and explore business opportunities. 'It's a platform to gain knowledge not only academically but also across various fields. I encourage youth, especially, to take advantage of these centres to learn and engage with their communities,' he said. NADI Taman Pekan Baru, which began operations on Feb 9, is one of four new centres established in Kedah under the '1 DUN 1 NADI' initiative, bringing the total number of NADI centres in the state to 81. – Bernama Dewan Rakyat Johari Abdul Nadi parliament session tabling of 13MP
