Segala puji dan syukur saya panjatkan kepada Allah SWT kerana atas berkat dan rahmat-Nya, dapat saya mengumumkan barisan Kabinet yang telah mendapat perkenan Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Al-Musta'in Billah. 2. Barisan Kabinet yang dibentuk hari ini merupakan pasukan pengurusan yang akan bekerja bersama rakyat. Kabinet ini perlu bertindak pantas dan bersepadu dalam usaha membebaskan Malaysia daripada ancaman pandemik COVID-19, kegawatan ekonomi serta kekusutan politik. 3. Umum mengetahui saya menerima kerajaan ini dalam keadaan seadanya. Justeru, pembentukan Kabinet ini merupakan satu formulasi semula berdasarkan situasi semasa, demi mengekalkan kestabilan dan meletakkan kepentingan serta keselamatan Keluarga Malaysia lebih daripada segala-galanya. 4. Saya akui bahawa kita sedang berada dalam keadaan yang getir akibat pandemik COVID-19, kegawatan ekonomi dan diburukkan lagi dengan ketidakstabilan politik negara. 5. Berdasarkan ramalan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO), kita akan hidup bersama COVID-19 sebagai endemik, yang bersifat kekal dan menjadi sebahagian daripada kehidupan manusia. 6. Dunia mencatatkan kemunculan Variant of Concern (VOC) yang lebih agresif dan rekod di seluruh dunia menunjukkan mereka yang telah divaksinasi masih boleh dijangkiti COVID- 19. 7. Oleh itu, kerajaan akan memperkasa Agenda Nasional Malaysia Sihat (ANMS) dalam mendidik Keluarga Malaysia untuk hidup bersama virus ini. Kita perlu terus mengawal segala risiko COVID-19 dan mengamalkan norma baharu dalam kehidupan seharian.

Before Athe implementation of GST, dining out used to be cheaper but nowadays, some restaurants would even charge GST on each menu item and when the bill comes, pay a further 10 per cent for service. Many now opt to cook at home, buying raw materials such as meat, vegetables and seafood at the market. While this certainly saves money, it is hard to deny how much the prices on groceries have increased over the years. Hence the question remains, with the rising cost of living, how much can we save?

  • Government Transformation Programme
    Government Transformation Programme JABATAN PERDANA MENTERI Annual Report 2010 2010 marked the introduction and implementation of Malaysia’s Government Transformation Programme (GTP) and a new chapter in our young nation’s history. This bold and unprecedented programme aimed to radically transform the way the Government worked so we could better serve the rakyat, regardless of race, religion or social status. In embracing change, we learnt how to listen more effectively, speak more openly, see things for what they really are, develop a positive course of action and deliver tangible solutions. These efforts have laid strong foundations for the future progress of our nation and given the rakyat the assurance of a better future. This inaugural annual report of the GTP serves as a narrative of all that transpired in 2010. It records our many successes as well as shortcomings, outlines the key lessons learnt and the next steps we will take to achieve Vision 2020. As the GTP continues to impact upon and transform the lives of the rakyat for the better, the Government will continue to learn from its achievements and limitations, set higher goals and dream bigger dreams.

  • DAP's Ngeh Gives Ismail Sabri 24 Hours to Apologise for His Anti
    DAP’s Ngeh gives Ismail Sabri 24 hours to apologise for his anti-Chinese post The Malaysian Insider March 11, 2015 By Eileen Ng DAP's Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham has given an Umno minister a final ultimatum: apologise for his incendiary anti-Chinese remarks within 24 hours or face legal action. He said the notice of demand is ready, but has not been served on Agriculture and Agro-Based Industries minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaacob as he is still waiting for an apology. "I will give him another 24 hours to apologise," he said at a press conference at the parliament lobby today. Ismail had come under fire last month for his Facebook posting urging Malays to boycott Chinese traders. He said Malay consumers had a role in helping Putrajaya fight profiteers by using their collective power to lower the price of goods. The minister is also embroiled in an allegation he reportedly made of Ngeh, whom the former said had shares in the popular OldTown White Coffee chain owned by OldTown Bhd. Ngeh subsequently threatened to sue the minister for labelling him and his family anti-Islam, after Ismail failed to meet the 48-hour deadline he set to retract and apologise for the remarks. Ngeh said today he does not want this to go to court if possible as he only wanted to serve the people as the MP for Beruas. "I am giving Ismail a last chance. If he does not apologise, I will initiate legal action," he said. Ismail's comments drew flak from the public, opposition leaders and leaders within the Barisan Nasional component parties, with MCA, Gerakan and DAP members lodging police reports against him.
