Kecekapan pengunaan kunci jimat elektrik
18 Mei 2022
KUALA LUMPUR - Penggunaan pelbagai sumber bahan api dan pemberian subsidi telah membolehkan rakyat Malaysia berterusan menikmati kadar tarif elektrik antara terendah di rantau Asia Tenggara sejak sekian lama, meskipun sektor tenaga sentiasa ditekan oleh pelbagai faktor luaran dan dalaman.
Begitupun kenaikan luar jangka harga bahan api khususnya arang batu dan gas asli sejak penularan Covid-19, mewujudkan tekanan luar biasa sehingga menimbulkan tanda tanya sejauh mana daya tahan tarif elektrik negara.
Ini kerana hampir 93 peratus elektrik di Semenanjung Malaysia dijana menggunakan arang batu serta gas asli, dan pada masa ini harga arang batu dunia melonjak ke paras lebih US$200 setan serta dijangka terus meningkat berikutan krisis Ukraine-Rusia.
Menurut Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), kos penjanaan elektrik termasuk kos bahan api membentuk lebih 65 peratus daripada tarif asas elektrik dan kenaikan harga bahan api fosil, khususnya arang batu, menyebabkan kos penjanaan elektrik negara kini meningkat 4.5 kali ganda.
Dalam kemelut ini, bagi tempoh Februari hingga Jun depan, pengguna domestik di Semenanjung masih dapat menikmati rebat dua sen bagi setiap kilowatt per jam (kWj), manakala surcaj minimum 3.7 sen/kWj dikenakan terhadap pengguna industri dan komersial. Ini dapat dilaksanakan melalui mekanisme Pelepasan Kos Tidak Seimbang (ICPT) yang membolehkan kerajaan melaraskan kos penjanaan dan bahan api setiap enam bulan.

MDA reminds public to only buy approved self-test kits
February 16, 2022 @ 9:53pm
KUALA LUMPUR: The Medical Device Authority (MDA) has reiterated its call urging members of the public to only buy self-test kits that have been approved by the Health Ministry to reduce the possibility of getting a "suspicious" result.
MDA said this was because it would take time to investigate and take action against any "false result" issue.
"MDA advises members of the public to take preventive steps to reduce the risk of getting a suspicious result and help curb the spread of Covid-19.
"Firstly, only obtain self-test kits that have been approved by MDA from community pharmacies, health facilities or premises that are registered with the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry.
"Make sure the self-test kits are in good condition and are not expired before using them; scan the QR code on the self-test kit or write down your details on the premises logs to facilitate consumer tracings should the product have a problem.
"Do the self-test fully according to the written or video instruction; report the result on MySejahtera to allow relevant authorities to take further action and participate in self-test kits performance survey at https://forms.gle/zFyJMT8zzH2CAdjHA."
Last week, Alliance for Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye urged the authorities to issue a definitive list of reliable and accurate RTK-Antigen self-test kits and ban brands that produce false negatives.
Citing the case of a woman who allegedly tested negative several times through conducting several self-tests before she was confirmed positive via a RT-PCR test, Lee also questioned whether all the rapid test kit brands approved by the authorities were subjected to stringent tests before being granted certificates to be sold.
MDA said all the approved self-test kits had undergone a strict evaluation process and had been tested at accredited laboratories.
"Performances of brands that did not obtain approval from MDA are not guaranteed.
"Also, it is easier for prevention and rectification action to be taken in the event of performance and safety related issues for self-test kits that being sold at community pharmacies, health facilities or premises registered under the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry."

Retired lecturer loses RM1.8mil after scam call
November 6, 2021 9:15 AM
KUALA LUMPUR: A retired woman lecturer was fleeced of RM1.8 million after receiving a call, supposedly from a Telekom Malaysia officer, accusing her of being involved in online gambling and money laundering.
Kuala Lumpur Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) deputy chief Tan Poh Cheok said the 80-year-old victim lodged a police report on Monday after realising that she had been cheated.
On Oct 1, the caller told her to make several cash transfers amounting to RM730,000, apart from asking her to hand over her ATM card.
Following that, the victim discovered that large sums had been withdrawn from her account and that she lost RM1.8 million in total, Tan said in a statement today.
The public are reminded not to disclose their account details and OTP/TAC numbers to anyone on the telephone even if they claim to be from investigating agencies.
βReport any suspicious activity to the Kuala Lumpur police hotline at 03-2146 0584/0585 or any nearby police station,β Tan added.

Setiap titis air yang anda guna amat bermakna
SEJAK permulaan fasa baharu Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) di Selangor, Kuala Lumpur dan Putrajaya, kita dapati peningkatan drastik aduan bil air tinggi. Persoalan yang timbul, apakah puncanya?
Pernahkah anda terfikir bahawa masa mandi yang lama, paip air yang dibiarkan terbuka semasa menggosok gigi atau jumlah air yang digunakan untuk membasuh kereta dan menyiram tanaman mungkin menyumbang kepada peningkatan bil air bulanan? Walau bagaimanapun, dalam beberapa insiden yang lain, bil air yang tinggi mungkin disebabkan oleh kebocoran paip air dalaman.
Penting untuk kita mendapatkan pencerahan dan penjelasan berkenaan bil air bulanan untuk mengelakkan kekeliruan daripada berterusan. Sesuatu yang mungkin mengejutkan apabila menerima bil air yang tinggi ini. Namun, jangan risau, semua masalah ada penyelesaiannya.
Memahami Bil Air Bulanan Anda
Mungkin ada yang tertanya-tanya, bagaimana bil air bulanan dikira? Pengiraan bil bulanan bagi setiap akaun pelanggan dibuat berdasarkan bacaan meter yang diambil oleh pembaca meter di setiap premis pelanggan. Sebagai pelanggan, adalah penting untuk kita turut mengetahui cara-cara membaca meter air. Meter yang terdapat di premis menunjukkan jumlah penggunaan air anda yang dikira dalam unit meter padu (m3).
Look out for Sirim label to be safe
THIRTY-FOUR categories of household electrical products are regulated by the Energy Commission and must bear the Sirim (Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia) label before they can be sold.
However, a recent survey conducted by Consumersβ Association of Penang (CAP) on several outlets in the northern region has revealed that the regulations have not been enforced adequately.
The survey found that many domestic electrical appliances and accessories were sold without valid Sirim certification. There were products that did not conform to any safety standards, including Sirim (electrical accessories, extension power sockets, electric irons, immersion water heaters and decorative lights); those that had certification from foreign national safety standards but not from Sirim (mainly audio-video and kitchen appliances); and products that were assembled with one or two Sirim-approved components such as electrical cable and plugs, but as a whole had no Sirim approval (mainly extension power sockets, irons, hair dryers and toasters).
CAP urges the Energy Commission to ensure that manufacturers and importers use genuine Sirim labels and follow the correct procedures when attaching them on products. The Customs Department should ensure that imported goods are declared under the correct categories.

Tersilap layari laman sesawang bank palsu
Selasa, 2 Februari 2021 @ 2:42 PM
Kuala Lumpur: Seorang pekerja swasta kerugian RM3,600 selepas tersilap melayari laman sesawang bank palsu menggunakan komputer riba, kelmarin.
Azizul Osman, 38, berkata, dia melayari laman sesawang bank terbabit ketika berada di rumahnya di Bandar Baru Bangi, pada 3.38 petang.
Menurutnya, pada mulanya dia tidak menyedari laman sesawang itu bukan yang sebenarnya dan seperti biasa memasukkan kata pengguna serta kata laluan.
"Saya kemudian menerima TAC (kod pengesahan transaksi) dan dikehendaki mengisinya di dalam laman sesawang bank terbabit, saya hanya mengikut arahan itu.
"Selepas itu barulah saya sedar seperti ada sesuatu tidak kena sebelum memeriksa semula menggunakan telefon bimbit, namun terkejut apabila mendapati wang di dalam akaun bank hilang," katanya ketika dihubungi, hari ini.
Azizul berkata, terkejut dengan kejadian itu, dia kemudian terus menghubungi pihak bank untuk menyekat akaun terbabit.
"Bagaimanapun wang itu tidak dapat dikembalikan kerana difahamkan individu yang mengambil wang itu sudah menggunakannya untuk permainan dalam talian.
