KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 Malaysian household spending is expected to make a slow recovery in 2021 and beyond as the movement control order (MCO) is still in effect in the country due to rising Covid-19 cases, according to Fitch Solutions Country Risk and Industry Research (Fitch Solutions).
The Fitch Solutions Group unit had previously forecasted that real household spending would grow 11 per cent year-on-year back in January of this year.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 Malaysians have once again been forced to fork out more for chicken this Ramadan, with market traders left to placate aggrieved customers.
Malay Mail spoke to chicken traders at a few wet markets across the Klang Valley to get their thoughts on the price hike, with the majority saying that the increase is something that they deal with on an annual basis especially when a major festival is around the corner.

PASAR Besar Jalan Othman – better known as PJ Old Town Market – has seen some changes in the past few months, notably after the detection of several Covid-19 cases.
In the ensuing closure for extensive sanitisation, Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) decided to carry out renovations to improve the conditions at the premises.
Work on the city’s oldest wet market included installing perimeter fence and gates and repairing some of the broken tiles.
KLANG: Fighting the Covid-19 pandemic goes beyond political inclination, says Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
He said it was important for both the Perikatan Nasional Federal Government and the Pakatan Harapan Selangor government to work together.
He said he was open to the synchronisation and sharing of data between the Federal Government’s MySejahtera and the state government’s Selangkah applications.
Both applications were developed to monitor the Covid-19 pandemic.
“In my first meeting with Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba, we highlighted about synchronisation of the data.
“Recently, when we met up with Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, it was raised again to combine data and analysis,’’ Amirudin said in a dialogue on Sunday (Feb 7) with The Star adviser Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai, Sinar Harian managing editor Datuk Hussamuddin Yaacub and former Utusan Melayu group chief editor Tan Sri Johan Jaafar.
