KUALA NERUS: The Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (FAMA) has assured that the supply of essential food items in flood-affected states is sufficient and will not be disrupted. Its chairman Aminuddin Zulkipli said the agency has taken proactive measures by working with various bodies including the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) to ensure that people are not burdened by food shortages. He explained that supplies from the West Coast can meet demand when floods occur on the East Coast and vice versa based on past experience. FAMA has cooperated with several agencies on logistics and manpower to ensure all emergency measures can be activated promptly. The agency has identified flood-prone areas and prepared alternative locations to ensure supply management remains uninterrupted. Aminuddin said the supply of vegetables continues to come mainly from Cameron Highlands. FAMA will ensure supplies reach affected locations through various means including direct delivery if that key production area is also affected. Supplies will be delivered directly to ensure the people’s needs are met if the situation becomes critical. FAMA will be on the ground to help ensure supplies reach consumers during such emergencies. Experience in handling past disasters has made FAMA better prepared with a more systematic action plan to ensure smooth supply flow in the market. Farmers’ markets will only operate in safe areas while intervention measures will be implemented in case of oversupply or shortage. The agency is not focused on business but on helping people during emergencies. FAMA’s priority is to ensure sufficient supplies even during floods. The Agro MADANI Sales Carnival @ Terengganu 2025 was launched for four days starting today at the Terengganu State Sports Complex in Gong Badak. The event features 140 entrepreneurs across five main clusters including fresh produce and agro-based food products. It is expected to attract over 40,000 visitors with total sales projected to exceed 1.2 million ringgit. – Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: The KL Strike Force operation has rescued 545 individuals including 180 foreigners from homelessness in the federal capital between February and early this morning. Federal Territories Social Welfare Department director Che Samsuzuki Che Noh stated the sixth operation this year targeted strategic city centre locations including transportation hubs and commercial areas. He identified 16 homeless hotspots including the UTC Pudu pedestrian bridge, Bukit Bintang, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Masjid Jamek and Jalan Imbi. “This operation aims to foster a more conducive environment and safeguard the country’s image in the eyes of the international community,“ he told reporters at the operation site early this morning. He explained that addressing homelessness requires continuous efforts as some cases recur due to lack of family support or other social challenges. “In terms of food, clothing and basic needs, they are not neglected,“ he said. He added that safety, health and the country’s image are aspects that must be addressed collectively. Che Samsuzuki confirmed that every rescued individual will be screened by various agencies including police, Federal Territories Department, City Hall, Health Ministry and Anti-Drugs Agency. The sixth operation from 10 pm yesterday to 8 am today rescued 101 individuals including 27 foreign nationals. Among those rescued were Kumar, 59, and Daud, 45, who became homeless due to unstable income and inability to afford better housing. “Tonight, I’m grateful that JKM came to help... at least I no longer have to sleep on the sidewalk and have a chance to start a new job,“ said Kumar from Kuala Selangor. Daud from Perak said his life changed after being abandoned by friends who came with him to the capital before the COVID-19 pandemic. “I used to do contract work, then collected cans because I had no choice,“ he said. He revealed he was once detained for sleeping in front of a shop but released after his urine test came back negative. “I hope JKM’s help this time can change my life,“ he added. – Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR - Kerajaan dicadang mengkaji semula struktur serta fungsi Suruhanjaya Persaingan Malaysia (MyCC) yang ketika ini dilihat tidak menepati objektif penubuhan asalnya untuk melindungi kepentingan pengguna dan memastikan pasaran adil serta kompetitif.Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias (BN-Jelebu) berkata, MyCC dilihat hanya memberi tumpuan kepada isu teknikal dalam sektor kurang kritikal, selain mengejar kes berprofil tinggi tanpa impak langsung kepada rakyat.Mengulas lanjut katanya, ketika rakyat terbeban dengan isu caj dan bayaran yang seolah-olah tidak mendapat perhatian dan gagal dikawal selia MyCC, pemain industri kritikal seperti makanan, pengangkutan, perubatan dan insurans meraih keuntungan besar dan terus melonjak saban tahun."Justeru, wajar sekali satu kajian semula terhadap bidang kuasa dan keutamaan penguatkuasaan MyCC dilakukan segera supaya tidak dilihat syok sendiri."Kegagalan mengutamakan kepentingan rakyat adalah kegagalan yang tidak boleh dikompromi. Sudah terbukti isu kos sara hidup di beberapa negara membawa kepada rusuhan rakyat yang terkesan dan akhirnya menggugat kestabilan dan ekonomi negara."Sampai bila putaran kegagalan MyCC ini akan memberi kesan buruk kepada rakyat. Dengan membiarkannya berlarutan sedemikian begitu lama seakan-akan sabotaj kepada Kerajaan MADANI, yang komited dan serius mahu membela rakyat," katanya ketika membahaskan Rang Undang-Undang (RUU) Perbekalan 2026 di Dewan Rakyat, pada Khamis.Tambah Jalaluddin lagi, kegiatan kartel dalam sektor makanan sebagai contoh bukan sekadar menjejaskan struktur persaingan pasaran, malah turut membawa kesan langsung terhadap harga barang yang dibayar pengguna."Sampai hari ini rakyat bercakap soal pencatutan, harga ayam dan daging serta pelbagai makanan utama lain, yang menurut penganalisis dicorakkan dan ditentukan oleh kartel."Pendedahan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) berkaitan kes kartel susu tepung, membabitkan bekalan ke sebuah jabatan bernilai RM120 juta yang tidak mematuhi piawaian SIRIM juga sudah cukup memperlihatkan kegagalan MyCC terhadap bidang kuasa dan fokus sebenar," katanya.Jalaluddin berkata, di bawah penstrukturan itu, beliau mencadangkan supaya MYCC melantik badan penasihat, seperti dilaksanakan SPRM."Semua langkah pembetulan dan kajian semula ini penting bagi menjaga persekitaran perniagaan terbaik, yang boleh memacu ekonomi negara dengan pantas."Pada masa sama, kita perlu memastikan MyCC yang berwibawa dapat membina keyakinan pelabur, selain menjaga kepentingan awam sebagai terasnya," katanya.

KYIV : Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is meeting Donald Trump on Friday to seek increased military support during a period of escalating conflict with Russia. Both Kyiv and Moscow have intensified their warfare through massive attacks targeting energy systems while NATO struggles to respond to numerous airspace violations. Since Trump’s August summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to produce a peace breakthrough, Ukraine has been striking Russian oil refineries with drones. Russian counterstrikes have meanwhile caused widespread power outages across Ukraine throughout this period. NATO’s eastern members remain on high alert after Poland and Estonia reported Russian airspace violations involving drones and jets last month. A former senior Ukrainian official suggested both nations are escalating to strengthen their negotiating positions before potential peace talks. “I think two more months is quite enough for this round of escalation,“ said the anonymous source. Zelenskiy is expected to specifically request long-range U.S. Tomahawk missiles capable of reaching Moscow and other major Russian cities. Trump has previously indicated he might supply such weapons if Putin refuses to engage in negotiations. Russia is simultaneously attempting to rebuild diplomatic momentum with the United States while promising strong responses to any threatening American actions. Trump’s rhetoric shifted favorably toward Ukraine last month after weeks of expressing frustration with Putin’s peace process reluctance. The U.S. president reversed his earlier suggestion that Ukraine should cede territory and instead praised Ukrainian military capabilities. Two officials confirmed on October 1 that the United States would provide intelligence supporting Ukrainian long-range attacks against Russian oil infrastructure. Kyiv officials hope the Gaza ceasefire might refocus Trump’s attention on resolving the Ukraine conflict through renewed peace efforts. Mykhailo Podolyak, a Zelenskiy adviser, revealed that Ukrainian officials presented Washington with a strategy to increase Russia’s war costs. “We want peace, so we must project power deep into the heart of Russia,“ Podolyak wrote on social media platform X. Zelenskiy arrives in the United States on Thursday for scheduled meetings with American energy and defense industry representatives. Despite his changing tone, Trump has not committed to new arms shipments, instead promoting the PURL mechanism for allied weapons purchases. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth urged NATO allies to increase weapons acquisitions through PURL during Wednesday’s Brussels meeting. The leaders may also finalize a drone technology sharing agreement among several deals strengthening U.S. investment in Ukraine’s defense. Zelenskiy recently proposed a “Mega Deal” involving $90 billion in U.S. weapons including potential Tomahawk missile supplies. Ukrainian delegates have already met with Raytheon and Lockheed Martin officials regarding potential weapons transfers. A Kyiv think tank director emphasized that consistent long-term arms supply arrangements matter more than specific weapon systems for Ukraine’s defense. – Reuters
