PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (Margma) has urged local and international buyers to stay vigilant amidst the rush to purchase medical gloves.

Its president Denis Low said the association had recently received over a dozen reports from its members who discovered fraudulent and fake agents claiming to represent their respective companies for glove supplies.

"Some members reported that fake company letters were produced to appoint bogus agents while others were prompted by customers as quoted prices soared higher and promised of delivery timeline was cut short.

"As the global glove demand continues to spike due to the overwhelming Covid-19 pandemic, fraudsters and scammers quickly emerged and are harming both the genuine sellers and buyers in the industry," he said in a statement on Thursday (June 4).

The association urged buyers from both local and international markets not to fall prey to such fraudsters and scammers.

PETALING JAYA: Unregistered daycare centres should make themselves legal by registering before operating, urged Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said that illegal daycare centres could not be monitored during the conditional movement control order (MCO) as they had no records with the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry.

For almost two months, Malaysians were largely confined to their homes, thanks to the movement control order (MCO). Many were stuck between a rock and a hard place due to their eagerness to get back to work, fuelled by diminishing incomes and prolonged economic inactivity, conflicting with a fear of exposure to Covid-19 which has killed hundreds of thousands globally.

So, the residents of Klang Valley might have looked at their water bills between March and April and felt the low or nominal charges made their lives just a little easier in what was a tough time for many.

But, in the past couple of weeks, as the country has begun to ease into the less restrictive conditional MCO, and as new water bills have begun rolling out, some received a rude awakening. The latest bills did not just compensate for any prior low charges, but seemingly ballooned to triple, even quadruple, consumers’ usual amounts even before the lockdown.

Some might have looked at the new bills and raised the issue with Klang Valley’s sole water service provider – Air Selangor, thinking theirs were isolated cases. But a check on Air Selangor’s social media channels over the past week showed hundreds of grouses from people shocked by the sudden spike.

SELAIN marah harga barang keperluan naik sepanjang tempoh Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) sejak 18 Mac lalu, perasaan meluap-luap juga terbuku dalam hati pengguna air di Selangor, Kuala Lumpur dan Putrajaya.

Melihat komen-komen yang dipaparkan dalam Facebook Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd sejak seminggu lalu, perkara itu rasanya cukup serius dan perlu diatasi segera.

Kata seorang pengguna: “Sebelum ni bil RM6 hingga RM11 saja... sekali dapat mesej dan check kat App air Selangor RM256.86. Walhal PKP siang kosong semua kerja... tengok meter tak ada pula jalan laju... aniaya sungguh.”

Seorang lagi pengguna pula merungut: “Mula-mula saya ingat paip rumah bocor... biasa bil bulanan lebih kurang RM40/bulan. Bila bulan Mei terkejut beruk tengok bil sampai RM300! Giler bapak melampau... siap panggil dua kontraktor check tengok ingat paip bocor/pecah...mana nak cekau sampai RM300 nak bayar?”

ALOR SETAR: Harga sayur-sayuran di Pasar Besar Alor Setar dilapor meningkat, paling ketara membabitkan cili merah dan kacang bendi.

Harga sekilogram cili merah naik dari RM11 kepada kini mencecah RM16 manakala kacang bendi dari RM5 naik menjadi RM6 sehingga RM7.

Menurut peniaga Putra Adam Marwan Mawardi, 21, kenaikan harga itu didakwa di pihak pemborong yang memberi alasan tidak dapat menghantar barangan ekoran Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Bersyarat (PKPB) yang membataskan pergerakan mereka merentas negeri.

"Sebab hendak pergi ambil, tidak boleh rentas negeri. Bendi dari Pulau Pinang, sebab itu tidak boleh pergi ambil.
"Sebab itu harganya mahal sedikit," katanya yang mendakwa kebanyakan pemborong adalah dari Pulau Pinang dan Perak.
