    Gardenia increases production by 5% to meet high demand 1

    SHAH ALAM: Gardenia Bakeries (KL) Sdn. Bhd has increased its production to 2.2 million loaves of bread a day through its five factories operating 24 hours a day.

    Its senior general manager Desmond Tan said the production was a five per cent increase in total production before the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO).

    “This supply is able to meet 60% of the demand for bread from all over Peninsular Malaysia, other bread brands have also been in high demand since the Movement Control Order was implemented,“ he said after welcoming Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP), Datuk Rosol Wahid who visited the factory here today.

    He said despite the increase in bread production, it has always complied with standards set including aspects of cleanliness, delivery and date of expiry.

    In the meantime, Rosol has agreed that retailers carry out their own limited bakery purchases according to the needs of their localities so as to look after the welfare of others. — Bernama

  • Stimulus package will flow over the three months, says Azmin

    Stimulus package will flow over the three months, says Azmin

    Stimulus package will flow over the three months, says Azmin 2

    KUALA LUMPUR: Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali (pix) said today that the Prihatin Rakyat Economic Stimulus Package is to cushion the adverse impact caused by Covid-19 on the population’s well-being.

    The Prihatin Rakyat package was announced by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yesterday (Friday).

    According to the senior minister, the situation would simply deteriorate without any form of assistance: “Companies won’t be able to operate and have no choice but to retrench their workers. We have to resort to this (stimulus), to save these workers and help employers not to dismiss them.”

    “But I am confident that this package is not just about three months but will bring about manifold benefits for the future in economic activities and growth,” he said.

    He said this in a programme, Bicara Naratif Pakej Rangsangan Ekonomi that was telecast live today by Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM).

    “As we are aware, the world is facing a difficult situation and Malaysia is no exception in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and global economic slowdown.

    “Malaysia as an oil producing country is also impacted by falling oil prices. Hence, why we must restructure the country and take the bold step of introducing the RM250 billion stimulus package.

    “Our hope is that when the movement control order (MCO) period is over, we can see a situation that is more reassuring,” he said.

    Azmin revealed that the Finance Ministry has prepared a module and specifics to all the ministries, in line with their respective responsibilities, on the disbursement of assistance to the target groups, which would be monitored by the Economic Stimulus Package Implementation and Coordination of National Agencies Unit (Laksana).

    “We have complete data on the recipients from the B40 and small and medium enterprises (SME).

    “As for the M40, we have some setbacks as I mentioned earlier, the government had given less priority to the category. That’s probably the reason why we do not have the complete data but this will be seen to so they too can have their right to assistance,” he added. — Bernama

  • WHO Director-General calls on G20 to Fight, Unite, and Ignite against COVID-19

    Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, addressed Heads of State at today’s extraordinary G20 Leaders’ Summit focused on COVID-19. 

    He told them, “You have come together to confront the defining health crisis of our time: We are at war with a virus that threatens to tear us apart – if we let it.“

    He welcomed the G20‘s initiative to find joint solutions and work together: “This is a global crisis that requires a global response.”

     “Fight, unite, ignite“

    Dr Tedros’ call was clear. First, he urged leaders to fight without excuses, without regrets – thanking countries who have already taken steps and urgently asking that they do more.

    Second, he encouraged them to unite, stressing that no country can fight this alone, and calling on all countries to build on the solidarity already sparked by the crisis.

    Third, he exhorted them to ignite a global movement to ensure this never happens again. 

    He welcomed G20 leaders‘ commitment “to do whatever it takes to overcome the pandemic” to protect lives and livelihoods, as well as restore confidence and shore up stability currently threatened in trade and other sectors, and to commit to take all necessary health measures and seek to ensure adequate financing to contain the pandemic and protect people, especially the most vulnerable.“

    The G20 committed to support and further strengthen WHO’s mandate in coordinating the response, and called for full funding of WHO‘s Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan.

    G20 members pledged to work together to increase research and development funding for vaccines and medicines, strengthen international scientific cooperation, and leverage digital technologies.

    In turn, they tasked WHO and other relevant organizations with assessing gaps in pandemic preparedness and report the findings of this assessment to the G20 Finance and Health Ministers, in order to establish a global initiative on pandemic preparedness and response together.

    KPDNHEP enforcement division director, Datuk Iskandar Halim Sulaiman said the three-layer face masks were surreptitiously sold at RM3.50 apiece, over the maximum price of RM2 a unit.

    ‘’The operation was conducted following a tip off on the sale on Facebook,’’ he said in a statement today.

    The suspect used Facebook to advertise the sale via WhatsApp order and delivery via post or Cash On Delivery (COD) in the Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya area.

    He said the suspect was found to have flouted Section 11 Price Control Act and Anti-Profiteering Act Act 2011 (AKHAP 2011) which provided a penalty not exceeding RM500,000 and could be fined not exceeding RM1 million for a second and subsequent offences.

    The public could channel information concerning suspicious activities to KPDNHEP through the hotline 1-800-886-800 or via 03-8882 6088/6245 to the Enforcement Command Centre (ECC) or e-mel to http://e-aduan.kpdnhep.gov.my. – Bernama

    Oil Benchmark Slashed To $30 Per Barrel By Nigerian Government 5


     

    The Nigerian Government on Wednesday proposed $30 per barrel of oil so as to work the 2020 national budget around that.

    The announcement was made by the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, in Abuja.

    Ahmed advised a review of the 2020 budget using a $30 per barrel price benchmark in favour of the previous $57.

    She also said, “The privatisation proceeds will be cut by 50 per cent, based on the adverse economic outlook on sales of the Independent Power Projects and other assets.

    “The Federal Government is working on Fiscal Stimulus Measures to provide fiscal relief for taxpayers and key economic sectors.

    “We will incentivise employers to retain and recruit staff during the economic downturn.

    “We will stimulate investment in critical infrastructure; review non-essential tax waivers to optimise revenues, and compliment monetary and trade interventions to respond to the crisis.”

  • Sufficient supply of basic necessities despite panic buying

    Sufficient supply of basic necessities despite panic buying 6

    GEORGE TOWN: The supply of basic necessities in Penang is sufficient although there were cases of panic buying at some of the state’s supermarkets until yesterday.

    Penang Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs office director Mohd Ridzuan Ab Ghapar said investigations conducted by enforcement officers found that four supermarkets on the island were the target of panic buying.

    “I urge the people to stop panic buying immediately because there are enough essentials. It takes a bit of time to restock depleted goods such as rice, cooking oil, eggs, sardines and instant noodles to the four supermarkets.

    “However, the essentials are still available at groceries and mini markets,“ he told Bernama, here today.

    More than 100 business premises were inspected from Wednesday until yesterday to ensure adequate supply of basic necessities.

    Mohd Ridzuan said that until today he had only received complaints about the shortage of face masks and expected that to be resolved soon.

    “From our monitoring of the 16 premises selling face masks in Penang, only five shops in Seberang Perai Tengah have supplies. We will continue monitoring to ensure sufficient supply,“ he said.

    He said any complaints and inquiries can be referred to the trade enforcement office at 04-5751703 and 04-255 2435 for Seberang Perai and George Town areas, respectively.

    Meanwhile, checks at a supermarket in George Town found that people were still buying necessities in large quantities purportedly because they have many family members at home.

    Consumer Mohd Syukri Abdul Razak, 45, said he had no choice but to buy essentials, especially rice, eggs, bread, sardines and chicken in large quantities as his household consisted of eight people including his mother, wife and five children.

    “I work in manufacturing and factory operations are still going on. Today I am off, out buying household goods for a week. This is not panic buying but a weekly routine,“ he added. – Bernama
