File photo shows Ling at The Market Place at Delta Mall. SIBU (July 25): Sibu MP Oscar Ling's parliamentary service centre will be holding another round of subsidised food sales at The Market Place in Delta Mall here tomorrow (July 26). The event will run from 11.30am to 2.30pm, with 1,000 food packs available for purchase at RM55 each, Ling said in a statement yesterday. 'The original total price of the goods in each set is RM81, but it will be sold at a 32 per cent discount, or RM26 cheaper, thus making it very affordable,' he said. Each set contains a tray of 10 eggs, 10kg white rice, 10 packets of instant noodles, chocolate drink, biscuits, canned curry chicken, canned sardines, canned baked beans, and 500g condensed milk. Ling said each household is limited to one set on a first-come first-served basis while stocks last. 'The items in the pack will not be sold separately. Only cash payment is accepted,' he added. He also said those who purchase powdered milk worth RM20 or more during the event will get a RM5 rebate, with each buyer also receiving a small gift. 'This event is part of the Madani Government's ongoing efforts to ease the people's cost of living,' said Ling. Delta Mall oscar ling Sibu MP subsidised food sales

Man, wife charged with running haj package without licence
SEREMBAN: A 60-year-old man and his wife were charged at the Sessions Court here today with conducting haj package business transactions worth RM81,000 without a valid licence to operate as haj pilgrimage organisers. Mhd Lihan Sabari and Noor Nisrin Mahlim, 58, pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to them before Judge Mohamad Kamil Nizam. According to the charge sheet, the couple arranged travel to the Holy Land for the haj pilgrimage and received RM81,000 from Sharifah Nura Syed Edros, despite not holding a valid haj organiser licence. They were charged with committing the offence at a bank along Jalan Besar, Kawasan Hijau, Mantin near Nilai, between Feb 4 and April 7. They were charged under Section 27(1)(a) of the Tabung Haji Act 1955, punishable under Section 27(2)(a) of the same Act, read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code. Deputy public prosecutor Syamimi Farhana Muhammad A Aziz proposed bail of RM20,000 for each accused, with one surety, and requested that their passports be surrendered to the court until the case is concluded. Mohd Razak Sharif, who represented both of the accused, appealed for a lower bail amount, citing that Mhd Lihan is an oil palm smallholder earning RM2,500 to RM3,000 a month, while Noor Nisrin is unemployed. He added that the couple also runs free Islamic classes in Batu Pahat, Johor, bearing the operational costs themselves, in addition to supporting three other children. The court then set bail at RM12,000 each and imposed additional conditions: both must report to the police monthly, surrender their passports, and refrain from contacting prosecution witnesses. The case has been fixed for mention on Aug 11. Previously, it was reported that a group of 47 Malaysian pilgrims were unable to fulfil their haj pilgrimage after allegedly falling victim to a scam by a local haj agent, believed to involve a prominent religious figure. A victim's child claimed their parents and aunt, who departed for Saudi Arabia on May 9 with the agent, were forced to walk through dangerous routes from Jeddah to Makkah without proper documentation, food, or water. It is believed the group did so to avoid detection by Saudi authorities amid strict enforcement against pilgrims without haj visas.

Malaysia and Vietnam are partnering to tap global halal economy, says Malaysian envoy
Malaysian Ambassador to Vietnam Datuk Tan Yang Thai. HANOI/PHNOM PENH (Bernama): Malaysia and Vietnam are poised to forge a smart partnership and leverage their existing economic complementarities to tap into the booming global halal footprint. Malaysian Ambassador to Vietnam Datuk Tan Yang Thai said that entering the halal market requires a deep understanding of its standards and the needs of its consumers, which could be addressed by both nations forming a practical strategy for future long-term growth. Vietnam is racing to capture a slice of the billion-dollar international halal market with its robust agricultural sector exports. "To accelerate Vietnam's entry, Malaysia proposes a practical and effective strategy. This strategy invites Vietnamese enterprises to leverage Malaysia's established halal infrastructure, including our certification facilities and readily available halal-certified ingredients. "This approach streamlines the process, allowing Vietnamese businesses to meet international standards more easily and get their products to market faster,' Tan told participants at the Accessing the Global Halal Market - Opportunities for Vietnamese Enterprises seminar in Hanoi on Wednesday. Vietnam's agricultural sector generated RM263 billion (US$62.4 billion) in export turnover last year while recording a trade surplus of RM81 billion (US$18.6 billion). The Vietnam Halal Centre estimates the country can produce RM144 billion (US$34 billion) worth of goods for the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries. "Vietnam is an agricultural surplus nation. "It possesses an abundance of halal potential raw materials including coffee, rice, marine products, aquaculture products, spices, nuts, vegetables, and fruit, which indicate high potential in producing end products,' Vietnam Halal Certification Agency (HALCERT) Director Ramlan Osman told Bernama from Hanoi. Tan encouraged Vietnamese enterprises to source Malaysian halal ingredients to simplify the production of halal-certified goods. The upcoming Malaysia International Halal Showcase 6 (MIHAS) in Kuala Lumpur from September 17 to 20, 2025 provides an ideal avenue to explore these possibilities. "By working together, we can unlock immense opportunities for growth and prosperity. "With Vietnam's entrepreneurial spirit and our shared commitment to collaboration, I am confident that Vietnam will become a significant and successful player in the global halal economy,' said Tan. - Bernam
