IPOH : The government’s decision not to introduce new taxes in Budget 2026, while focusing on subsidy rationalisation and strengthening governance, is seen as a key strategy to prevent leakages and boost national revenue. Head of the Economics Department, Faculty of Management and Economics, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Assoc Prof Dr Zainizam Zakariya said subsidy rationalisation and improved financial administration efficiency are expected to save nearly RM16 billion, helping to offset part of the deficit without placing additional tax burden on the people. He also commended the government’s commitment in allocating RM66.2 billion to the Education Ministry and RM18.6 billion to the Higher Education Ministry, reflecting strong investment in human capital development in line with the nation’s aspiration to develop a highly skilled workforce. Zainizam described Budget 2026, tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Oct 10, as realistic and balanced, underscoring the government’s determination to sustain economic growth while safeguarding public welfare and strengthening fiscal governance. “Overall, Budget 2026 is realistic and aligns with the current economic situation. Government revenue still relies on conventional sources such as income and indirect taxes, but it is structured prudently without introducing new taxes,” he told Bernama. He said the budget, which projected an increase in federal revenue to RM343.1 billion, is sufficient to cover the country’s operating expenditure, indicating the government’s prudent financial management. However, he noted that controlled borrowing remains necessary to finance development projects. Zainizam said the targeted reduction of the fiscal deficit to 3.5 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reflects the government’s commitment to maintaining a tight fiscal policy and focusing on domestic borrowing, a move that can mitigate the risk of ringgit depreciation amid global interest rate fluctuations. “Most of the government’s borrowings now come from domestic sources. This is a positive step as it shields the economy from foreign exchange volatility,” he said. Meanwhile, Universiti Sultan Azlan Shah deputy vice-chancellor (Academic and Research) Prof Datuk Dr Ahamed Kameel Mydin Meera said that this year’s budget placed emphasis on economic growth and improving the people’s well-being. He said when the country achieves growth, it should not be content with figures alone. “What is more important is to ensure that the benefits are distributed fairly and equitably so that the people can truly benefit from the country’s growth. “This aspect is often overlooked by many countries. They focus only on achieving high growth rates, five or six per cent, for example, without explaining how the returns from that growth are distributed to the people,” he said. Ahamed Kameel, who is also a professor of economics and finance, said Budget 2026 is on the right track by prioritising the education and health sectors, with allocations of RM66.2 billion and RM46.5 billion respectively. “For the health sector, the government could consider introducing incentives similar to Singapore, where senior citizens receive credits based on their walking activity, which can be used to purchase essential goods. This not only improves public health but also reduces national healthcare expenditure,” he said. To generate national revenue, he proposed that the government consider nationalising several major banks, enabling greater control over the economy on a broader and more effective scale. “Countries that have nationalised their banks are often better equipped to absorb economic shocks, like China. This is because when the government needs financial support, state-owned banks can directly create and channel funds into the economy. Therefore, nationalising banks should be considered. “Secondly, on payment systems, there are many types of payment platforms today, and billions of ringgit in transactions occur daily. However, many of these systems charge commissions, and the profits are reaped by private companies that operate them,” Ahamed Kameel added. On Oct 10, the Prime Minister tabled Budget 2026, themed the ‘Fourth MADANI Budget: A Budget for the People’, amounting to RM470 billion, focusing on economic resilience and support for small businesses amid the ongoing global uncertainty. - Bernama

ALOR GAJAH – Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN) bakal memperkenalkan strategi baharu bagi memperkukuh aspek keselamatan di institusi pendidikan seluruh negara, terutama sekolah dalam masa terdekat.Menterinya, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail berkata, langkah itu akan direalisasikan susulan keputusan Mesyuarat Jemaah Menteri yang bersetuju supaya kehadiran polis di kawasan sekolah dapat dipertingkatkan secara lebih kerap dan terancang.Menurut beliau, inisiatif itu melibatkan peningkatan rondaan serta lawatan berkala anggota Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) ke sekolah bagi mengenal pasti kawasan yang memerlukan perhatian khusus, selain memastikan keberadaan sang saka biru lebih dirasai komuniti setempat."Saya telah menyampaikan keputusan dan arahan Jemaah Menteri kepada pihak polis melalui Timbalan Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay (semalam) dan memintanya melakukan persiapan ke arah itu (strategi)."Jadi nanti kami akan hebahkan, maknanya strategi baharu ini akan kita mulakan bila, tentunya dalam masa terdekat," katanya.Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita dalam sidang akhbar selepas merasmikan Simposium Jabatan Pendaftaran Pertubuhan Malaysia (JPPM) 2025 di sini, pada Sabtu.Dalam pada itu, Saifuddin berkata, strategi baharu itu turut memberi penekanan terhadap pendekatan komuniti antara polis dan pihak sekolah menerusi peranan Pegawai Perhubungan Sekolah (PPS) yang akan diperkukuh bagi memastikan keberkesanan komunikasi dua hala.Menurutnya, PDRM juga sedang meneliti semula jadual rondaan agar sekolah yang dikenal pasti berisiko tinggi, termasuk yang pernah terbabit dengan kes buli, pergaduhan dan ancaman luar, diberikan perhatian khusus sama ada di bandar mahupun luar bandar.Tambah beliau, langkah ini sekali gus dapat mewujudkan rasa selamat dalam kalangan pelajar, guru dan ibu bapa. Kehadiran polis yang lebih konsisten juga membolehkan pencegahan awal dilakukan serta keyakinan masyarakat terhadap sistem keselamatan sekolah dapat dipertingkatkan."Selain keberadaan secara ‘omni-presence’ itu, polis juga akan diminta tampil dengan program lebih kreatif bagi meningkatkan kesedaran murid dan pelajar mengenai aktiviti jenayah," ujar beliau lagi.Sinar Harian pada Jumaat melaporkan, KDN menekankan fokus utama dalam beberapa aspek termasuk meningkatkan rondaan dan kehadiran polis di kawasan sekolah bagi menyokong dasar keselamatan digital pelajar.Saifuddin berkata, kementerian turut memperkukuh kempen kesedaran bersama Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) dan Persatuan Ibu Bapa dan Guru (PIBG) serta memperkasa peranan Pegawai Perhubungan Sekolah (PPS) dalam membimbing pelajar mengenai keselamatan siber.

KEPALA BATAS - Keluarga Allahyarham Mustaqqeem Mansor yang ditemukan maut di puncak Gunung Liang, Perak berharap pihak berkuasa menjalankan siasatan terperinci berhubung kes berkenaan.Ibunya, Rohani Saad, 65, berkata, mereka reda dengan kematian Mustaqqeem, namun berasa curiga dan tidak berpuas hati dengan kejadian yang menimpa anak sulung daripada tiga beradik itu."Mak cik dimaklumkan, rakan-rakan yang mendaki bersama Mustaqqeem beritahu mereka cari lebih enam jam tapi tak jumpa. Bila pihak bomba naik cari, dalam tiga jam terus jumpa Allahyarham di puncak gunung itu dan katanya dia (Mustaqqeem) memang ada di situ (puncak) sahaja."Kami bukan (pertikai) pasal anak mati, anak mati kami reda dan ini ketentuan-Nya (ALLAH), yang kami tak puas hati pasal apa hampa (mereka) tinggalkan dia (atas gunung) dan langsung tidak buat laporan polis atau maklumkan kepada bomba," katanya ketika ditemui di Tanah Perkuburan Masjid Jamek Nurussaadah Lahar Tabut di sini pada Sabtu.Jenazah Allahyarham Mustaqqeem selamat dikebumikan di tanah perkuburan itu selepas solat Subuh dengan dihadiri lebih 200 orang terdiri daripada ahli keluarga, rakan-rakan dan penduduk kampung.Rohani berkata, menantunya yang juga isteri Allahyarham, Nur Faratin Mohd Othman membuat laporan polis kehilangan Mustaqqeem di balai polis di Sungai Petani sebelum terus ke Perak bagi mengetahui keadaan arwah.Beliau berkata, Nur Faratin mengetahui mengenai kehilangan Mustaqqeem melalui rakan-rakan Allahyarham sebelum beliau memaklumkan kepada ahli keluarga yang lain dan membuat laporan polis."Allahyarham baru dikebumikan dan kami ahli keluarga akan berbincang selepas ini, antaranya mahu mengambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap pihak yang terlibat dalam kejadian itu," katanya, sambil menambah Mustaqqeem mesra dengan panggilan Qeem.Beliau berkata, kali terakhir berjumpa dengan Mustaqqeem ialah sehari sebelum anaknya mengikuti aktiviti mendaki itu, dengan dia yang tinggal di Sungai Petani datang ke rumahnya di Lahar Tabut di sini memaklumkan mahu pergi mendaki gunung."Dia datang di rumah, dia panggil mak, mak, mak dan mak cik kat dapur sebelum buka pintu dan nampak dia... dia kata saya datang nak tengok mak sahaja sebelum peluk-peluk mak cik sambil beritahu nak pergi naik gunung."Mak cik kata hati-hati lah naik gunung dan mak cik tunjuk telefon mak cik rosak, Qeem kata kalau Qeem balik nanti Qeem tengok. Sebelum balik arwah berulang kali beritahu dia dah nak pi ni, ya ALLAH rupanya Qeem nak bagitahu dia nak ‘pergi’ (meninggal dunia)," katanya, yang beberapa kali menahan sebak dan menangis.Sementara itu, adik mangsa, Muzammeer, 33, berkata, abangnya yang bekerja sebagai eksekutif teknologi maklumat memang seorang yang aktif dalam sukan dan mula menjalankan aktiviti mendaki sejak awal tahun ini.Beliau berkata, abangnya itu telah mendaki sekurang-kurangnya lima gunung di Malaysia sebagai persiapan untuk ‘menawan’ Kem Pangkalan Annapurna (ABC), Nepal yang berketinggian 4,130 meter dari aras laut.Muzammeer berkata, abangnya telah berkahwin dengan Nur Faratin kira-kira lima tahun lepas dan setakat ini belum lagi dikurniakan rezeki cahaya mata.Mustaqqeem ditemukan meninggal dunia pada 3.30 petang Khamis di puncak Gunung Liang selepas memulakan pendakian bersama 10 rakan-rakannya pada 10 Oktober dari Bukit Fraser, Pahang dan kali terakhir dilihat pada 14 Oktober.Jenazah mangsa dibawa keluar dari puncak gunung berketinggian 1,933 meter menggunakan helikopter AW189 oleh Pasukan Khas Udara Bomba (PASKUB) pada 2.45 petang semalam.Timbalan Ketua Polis Daerah Muallim, Deputi SuperintendenSuhaimi Muhamad dilaporkan berkata, hasil bedah siasat oleh pakar patologi forensik Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh mendapati punca kematian disebabkan hipotermia (kesejukan melampau). - Bernama
