Kita MADANI Carnival : Fresh Chicken, Packet Cooking Oil Popular Items At Rahmah MADANI Sale
MUAR, July 27 (Bernama) -- The Rahmah MADANI Sales Programme (PJRM) at the Kita MADANI Carnival, being organised in conjunction with the 2025 National Month and the Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign, continues to receive an overwhelming response, with hundreds of visitors crowding the sales area since early today. They were seen lining up to purchase essential goods at significantly reduced prices, with top-selling items including fresh chicken, packet cooking oil and eggs. Many were seen leaving with bags full of affordable daily necessities. 'With the high cost of living, programmes like this are very helpful. For example, the price of chicken at RM6.50 per kilogram is really cheap compared to market prices which can go up to almost RM8 per kilogramme,' said housewife, Norazilah Aman@Ahmad, 42, from Sungai Abong, here. Meanwhile, Abdul Nasir Ali, 68, said he spent about RM80 on various household essentials, which would have cost nearly RM150 at a supermarket or local grocery store. 'Whenever there is a PJRM, I will definitely go to get kitchen supplies. It's a loss if we don't take advantage of it. The government has provided initiatives, so we have to take the opportunity," said a former lorry driver who lives in Rawang, Sungai Mati, here. For Hadijah Abdul Rahman, 47, the PJRM is proof of the government's concern, especially for the underprivileged. "The range of items offered is very diverse, from vegetables to wet and dry ingredients. People have many choices and can save money with the cheaper prices offered," said the Pagoh Jaya resident. The PJRM is among the side programmes held since last Friday in conjunction with the launch of the 2025 National Month and the Fly the Jalur Gemilang campaign by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today. It also features various community and family-oriented activities such as colouring competitions and a singing competition, known as the Bintang Suara MADANI, art performances, and local cultural activities.

Perak KPDN aids eCOSS registration at Rahmah MADANI sales
IPOH: The Perak branch of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) is stepping up efforts to help the public register for the Cooking Oil Price Stabilisation Scheme (eCOSS) during Rahmah MADANI Sales Programme (PJRM) events statewide. State KPDN director Datuk Kamalludin Ismail confirmed that officers will be present at every PJRM location to guide residents, particularly senior citizens and persons with disabilities, through the registration process. 'We understand that some individuals may face difficulties registering for this system, but we guarantee that our personnel at each PJRM site will assist them until the registration is successfully completed,' he said. Kamalludin explained that the eCOSS system, currently in its pilot phase, is designed to track subsidised cooking oil purchases by eligible recipients while preventing distribution leakages. On July 23, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali announced plans to expand eCOSS into a mobile app to improve the distribution of 60,000 tonnes of subsidised cooking oil monthly, particularly for the B40 group. The system monitors the entire supply chain, from distribution to end-user purchases, enhancing efficiency and accountability. Kamalludin noted that eCOSS helps detect shortages early and prevents hoarding or misuse. 'The data collected not only helps the government manage supply more effectively, but also ensures transparency and prevents any form of misappropriation in the distribution network,' he said. To date, Perak has recorded RM53,488,905.38 in sales from 983 PJRM events across 24 parliamentary and 59 state constituencies, benefiting 1,227,731 individuals. - Bernama

Perak KPDN To Aid Public With eCOSS Registration At Rahmah MADANI Sales Events
IPOH, July 25 (Bernama) -- The Perak chapter of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has pledged its full support to assist the public in registering and using the Cooking Oil Price Stabilisation Scheme (eCOSS) system, especially during the Rahmah MADANI Sales Programme (PJRM) across the state. State KPDN director Datuk Kamalludin Ismail said their officers will be stationed at each PJRM location to help facilitate the registration process, particularly for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. 'We understand that some individuals may face difficulties registering for this system, but we guarantee that our personnel at each PJRM site will assist them until the registration is successfully completed,' he said. 'We believe that the eCOSS system, currently in its pilot phase, is not only designed to log the purchase of subsidised cooking oil by eligible recipients, but also to prevent leakages in distribution and ensure that supplies reach the intended beneficiaries,' he told a press conference here today. On July 23, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali announced that the eCOSS system would be expanded into a mobile application to address distribution issues related to the 60,000 tonnes of subsidised packet cooking oil allocated monthly for Malaysians, especially the B40 income group. The eCOSS system is designed to cover the entire supply chain, from distribution to end-user purchase, allowing for greater efficiency and accountability. Kamalludin added that eCOSS enables authorities to detect shortages of packet cooking oil in specific areas early, and to analyse purchasing trends to prevent hoarding or misuse by unauthorised parties. 'The data collected not only helps the government manage supply more effectively, but also ensures transparency and prevents any form of misappropriation in the distribution network,' he said. As of now, he said a total of RM53,488,905.38 in sales has been recorded from 983 PJRM events held across 24 parliamentary and 59 state constituencies in Perak.
