Up To 30 Pct Discounts At Pahang Mega Rahmah Sale

KUANTAN, Sept 13 (Bernama) — The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living is organising the state-level Mega Rahmah MADANI Sale Programme (PJRM) in conjunction with Malaysia Day at the forecourt of the Pantai Sepat Fishermen’s Market here today and tomorrow.

Deputy Minister Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said the programme offers 142 stock keeping units, including fresh fish and meat, in collaboration with the Malaysian Fisheries Development Authority, with discounts of between 10 and 30 per cent.

“This Mega Rahmah Sale is implemented through an off-premise model, which to date has been held fewer than 1,000 times nationwide. At this location, it is the second time after the encouraging response previously.

“Normally, mega programmes are organised over two days to give local residents the opportunity to plan their visits, whether in the morning, afternoon or the following day. It is hoped this initiative will bring maximum benefit to the public,” she told reporters after launching the Mega PJRM Malaysia Day programme here today.

To attract more visitors, she said incentives in the form of RM20 e-wallet credits were also distributed to the first 1,500 visitors today and tomorrow, in addition to providing a Sumbangan Asas Rahmah terminal to extend further benefits to those wishing to use the assistance. 

Fuziah said from January until Aug 31 this year, 15,308 Rahmah Sales had been organised nationwide under three main models, with 9,600 of them being Mobile Rahmah Sales.

At the same event, she also presented ‘zakat wakalah’ contributions from the Companies Commission of Malaysia, consisting of RM250 in cash and Rahmah baskets worth RM100, to 127 recipients.

Speaking about her plan under the One Leader One Village (Santuni MADANI) Programme, she said the ministry would focus on developing padi field projects in Pantai Sepat that have been left idle since the COVID-19 pandemic. 

“Previously, this padi field had 88 participants, but it has been idle for three years. So, we are restarting efforts by forming communities. The 88 participants are divided into three communities to work on this 33-acre padi field. By the end of this year, ploughing and planting will begin,” she said.

She added that developing the padi fields could also enhance the area’s agrotourism potential due to its location near the beach.
