PJRM@Kampus helps UiTM students save on daily essentials
DUNGUN: The Rahmah MADANI Sales Programme (PJRM), implemented by the government to help people cope with the rising cost of living, not only benefits low-income households but also assists students at institutions of higher learning (IPTs). The PJRM@Kampus initiative, held at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Dungun Campus today, enabled more than 6,000 students to purchase various items, particularly food and stationery, at discounts ranging from 10 to 30 per cent off the normal prices. Terengganu Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) director Mohd Mufsi Lat said the students also had the opportunity to purchase academic supplies such as aprons and knives for culinary courses at lower prices. 'This is the first time PJRM@Kampus is held in Terengganu, offering 78 daily necessities at affordable prices. 'This initiative not only provides students with access to lower-priced essentials but also helps boost the economy of the campus cooperative,' he told reporters after visiting the PJRM@Kampus programme at the UiTM Dungun Student Cooperative, here today. Mohd Mufsi said the PJRM@Kampus would be expanded to other IPTs, especially ahead of the new student intakes in September and October. Meanwhile, Muhammad Azmirul Razzy Azizi, 20, a second-year student at the Faculty of Business and Management, said the sale enabled him to buy instant noodles and drinks at cheaper prices for his end-of-month provisions. Muhammad Azmirul Razzy, from Semenyih, Selangor, said he often had to stretch his monthly budget as he did not want to burden his father, who works as a clerk and supports him and his five siblings, while his mother is a homemaker. 'My father gives me RM300 every month for my expenses, but sometimes it's just not enough. I don't want to ask for more because I don't want to burden him. So I try to make my food last until he sends money again the following month. 'I also don't take the PTPTN loan because I don't want to incur debt. During semester breaks, I work at restaurants to pay my tuition fees and buy books,' he said. Another student, Nur Adlin Darwisyah Mohd Kamalia, 19, said she purchased medical supplies to keep on hand for emergencies. 'Items like fever patches are quite expensive at pharmacies, so I took the opportunity to get them here. With the unpredictable weather lately, I tend to catch a fever easily. 'I also bought dry food such as bread and biscuits for around RM1.50 to RM2, which is much cheaper than usual. I hope affordable sales like this will be held more often at UiTM so that we can save money,' she said.

Rahmah sale brings big savings to shoppers in Seremban
SEREMBAN: 'The prices are much cheaper than the market. I can save a lot' - that was the reaction of a buyer at the Rahmah MADANI Sales Programme (PJRM) organised by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) here today. Contractor Hasrul Hashim, 38, from Ampangan, said the sale gave him great relief in managing his family's expenses especially with the increasing prices of basic goods in the market. 'It's not just a cheap sale, but a monthly saver. This is my second time at a Rahmah Sale programme, and my first to this sale here. I'm excited because the prices of the goods offered are a lot cheaper. 'Even though there's a supermarket right in front of my house, I prefer coming to this sale. I can save up to 60 per cent on purchases. So I hope the government will continue to hold this kind of sale and at more places,' he said when met by Bernama at the PJRM in Dataran Ampangan today. Housewife Mariam Abdul Kadir, 68, described the sale as not only helping her financially but also saving her time and energy because the location is closer to her home. 'This sale is held near a restaurant, so while I was here for breakfast, I decided to stop by. From a distance, I notice the signboard displaying much cheaper prices for various items like eggs, sardines and flour,' she said. A food trader, Zalina Yeon, 65, said the programme not only benefits those with limited means but also provides small and medium-sized traders with the opportunity to buy goods for sale at lower prices. 'I always go to this kind of sale. I'll check the prices, and if they are reasonable, I'll buy. This sale offers affordable prices. When we can get raw materials at lower prices, it allows us to sell our food at cheaper prices too,' she said. The programme, which opens from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm, offered, among others, fresh chicken at RM7 per kilogramme (kg), grade B eggs (RM9), five kg of cooking oil (RM25) and one kg of wheat flour (RM2.50). Meanwhile, Negeri Sembilan KPDN director Muhammad Zahir Mazlan said PJRM recorded a total sales value of RM51.95 million through 21 series involving 732 programmes across the state since last January.
