PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) has urged Putrajaya to extend the six-month moratorium for loans for the B40 and M40 groups, saying they have been the most affected by the recent economic downturn.
“They need an additional six-month respite as clearly, the country needs at least that much time and well beyond to get the economy ticking again, while waiting to go full throttle once the Covid-19 vaccine makes it to our shores,” MTUC secretary-general J Solomon said in a statement.
He also urged Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin or Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz to state clearly whether or not the moratorium would be extended.
The moratorium, introduced on April 1, will end on Sept 30.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 — One of the biggest challenges faced by the Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) is people’s gullibility.
The department’s acting director Commissioner Datuk Saiful Azly Kamaruddin said despite all the warnings and stories in the media about people being cheated, people are still falling for various scams like “love scams”, “Macau scams” and “Pos Laju scams.”
With Malaysia reopening again after so many months of restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Saiful Azly warned that scammers have kept up with the times and become more creative as they too need to earn a “living”.
In an exclusive interview with Malay Mail on Tuesday, he said that the department saw a spike in cases in the first six months of the year compared to last year,

KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 — The number of poor Malaysians is higher than official figures if the relative poverty line reflects today’s reality, Khazanah Research Institute (KRI) said.
The research house wrote in a June 11 note on its 2018 report on the state of Malaysian households that the number of relatively poor households rose to 1.54 million in 2016 from 1.08 million in 1995, after it raised the threshold to measure incidence of relative poverty to 60 per cent of the median household income.
Currently, the government defines relative poverty as families earning between the official poverty line income (PLI) and below the 50 per cent national median household earning, a baseline KRI said was still the lowest among other countries with similar median income level.
“Our own calculations using 60 per cent median show a slightly higher number (of relative poverty households) as we use a higher percentage and include also those below the PLI,” the note said.
Critics would likely cite the findings to reaffirm what they have long believed: That Malaysia’s impressively low number of poverty incidence masked a bleaker reality that belies its much-touted success.
By setting the bar unrealistically low, previous administrations claimed it achieved astounding success in eliminating absolute and hardcore poverty. Up until last year, poverty was only measured through the PLI and the consumer price index.

KUALA LUMPUR: Pimpinan mahasiswa secara umum menyambut baik keputusan kerajaan mengurangkan kadar yuran asrama, perkhidmatan dan aktiviti mahasiswa universiti awam (UA) sehingga 15 peratus.
Rata-rata pemimpin pelajar di UA melihat langkah itu mampu mengurangkan sedikit beban ibu bapa, khususnya yang terjejas pendapatan atau kehilangan pekerjaan akibat pandemik COVID-19, selain golongan B40.
Bagaimanapun, ada pemimpin mahasiswa berharap Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi (KPT) dapat mempertimbangkan untuk menambah kadar pengurangan yuran itu kepada antara 20 hingga 25 peratus.
Presiden Kesatuan Pelajar Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (IIUMSU), Amir Nadzim Kaharudin, mengakui pengurangan itu langkah tepat dan meringankan beban ibu bapa walaupun kadarnya agak kecil.
"Yuran penginapan di UIAM adalah RM550, bermakna pengurangan 15 peratus adalah sekitar RM80 manakala yuran aktiviti dan perkhidmatan yang merujuk kepada penggunaan perpustakaan, makmal dan pengangkutan adalah RM200, dengan pengurangan kira-kira RM30.
