KPDN enhances PJRM 2025 with RM300m boost for nationwide sales
PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) will implement three key improvements to the MADANI Rahmah Sales Programme (PJRM) 2025, following the government's announcement of an additional RM300 million allocation. Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said the enhancements involve increasing the frequency of sales nationwide, expanding the number of stock-keeping units and onboarding more strategic retail partners. 'KPDN is targeting 20,000 PJRM series nationwide this year, covering all 222 parliamentary constituencies, 600 state constituencies, and 40 zones in the Federal Territories. 'As of July 22, a total of 12,441 PJRM series have been implemented nationwide,' he told reporters after inspecting a PJRM event held at the ministry today. He added that the ministry also aims to raise the minimum number of stock-keeping units per location to 30 based on local demand and seasonal needs, such as festive periods, compared to the current range of 20 to 30. Armizan added that more strategic retail partners would be engaged through Mobile, On-Premises, and Off-Premises formats, and the sales schedules would be updated on the ministry's website from time to time. When asked whether discounts would be increased beyond the current 10 to 30 percent range, he said the matter would be considered. Armizan said the ministry will submit a report on this year's PJRM to the Finance Ministry in December to assess the programme's performance and impact on the public. He also thanked Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for the people-centric initiatives, which were announced via a special live broadcast yesterday. Anwar announced the PJRM allocation would be doubled to RM600 million this year to increase its frequency, expand coverage across all 600 state constituencies and offer a wider range of goods for public benefit. - Bernama

MADANI Sales: 2,500 Free Chickens Distributed At Two Locations In Port Dickson
PORT DICKSON, July 20 (Bernama) -- The MADANI Rahmah Sales Programme (PJRM) held in conjunction with 'Ukhuwah Kepimpinan Kerajaan MADANI' programme in Port Dickson today distributed 2,500 free chickens to lucky visitors. The programme organised by the Malaysian Nationhood Academy in collaboration with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living distributed free chickens at two different locations, namely 500 at Batu 1 PJRM while the rest were at Dataran Kampung Pachitan PJRM. A Bernama survey at the Batu 1 PJRM here found that people started coming to the PJRM around 8 am and were seen increasing by midday today to get essential goods at lower prices than the market. Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun also distributed free chickens to lucky visitors at Batu 1 PJRM, besides being enlivened by the presence of MADANI government MPs and cabinet ministers to greet the people. Visitor, Nurul Nabila Salleh, 36, said she was really looking forward to PJRM because the prices were very cheap compared to the market price. The mother of two hopes that a programme like this can be held every month to help the needy, especially the B40 who are really looking forward to PJRM. "The goods are sold very cheap compared to other supermarkets, if possible it can be held every week or at least every end of the month so that the people can buy at a cheaper price," she told Bernama here today. Former headmaster, A. Damutaran, 68 who agreed with the view said the purchase not only saves money, but also allows buyers to get complete kitchen needs in one place. "There are onions, eggs, chicken, sardines, coconut milk, all sold at cheaper prices than other places, so we don't have to go anywhere else, we just buy in one place," he said.

PJRM Offers Relief To Budget-conscious Households
GENERAL By Mohamad Harith Mohamad Nizar IPOH, June 24 (Bernama) -- What began as a simple sales initiative has since taken on greater significance, the MADANI Rahmah Sales Programme (PJRM) now offers consistent savings and helps ease the financial burden of thousands of households, especially those with tighter budgets. From housewives to small-scale traders, many in Ipoh eagerly await PJRM's weekly visits — a reliable source of savings on everyday items. For housewife R. Vijaya, 63, keeping up with the latest PJRM updates on TikTok is a routine, allowing her to track the dates, locations and times of the sales so as not to miss the chance to purchase essentials at lower prices. 'My husband, who sells putu mayam earns between RM1,000 and RM2,000 a month. So we really need to spend wisely,' she told Bernama when met at the PJRM held at DR Seenivasagam Recreational Park here. Vijaya shared that she and her husband, R. Raju, 66, usually spend about RM600 a month on groceries and never miss PJRM events, especially those held near their home in Silibin. 'If there's a PJRM, I'll definitely try to go. My friends also inform me if there's one nearby,' she said, adding that they could save up to RM50 each time by buying items such as cooking oil, rice, eggs and bread. Meanwhile, food vendor Kamarulzaman Mohammad Yunus, 51, said he frequently follows PJRM updates on the Perak Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) Facebook page. 'I try to attend PJRM at least twice a month to buy cheaper groceries compared to market prices,' he said.
