RAWANG, 3 SEPT: Kilang menyelenggara mesin dan jentera di sini, yang dipercayai menjadi punca pencemaran bau Sungai Selangor sehingga menjejaskan bekalan air 1.2 juta pemegang akaun disita sehingga tarikh dimaklumkan.
EXCO Alam Sekitar Hee Loy Sian berkata siasatan awal Lembaga Urus Air Selangor (Luas) mendapati kilang tersebut gagal melakukan penstoran sisa minyak buangan mengikut syarat ditetapkan selain menemui bau seakan-akan pelarut mengalir ke sungai.

3 September 2020
BANGI- Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) menjangka kemungkinan berlakunya penurunan kecil kadar tarif elektrik bagi tahun depan berikutan penyusutan kos pengeluaran arang batu dan gas semasa.
Bagaimanapun, Presiden/Ketua Pegawai Eksekutifnya Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan menegaskan, keputusan itu akan bergantung kepada Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST) yang akan membuat penilaian lebih terperinci sebelum mencadangkan perkara itu kepada Kabinet.
ST dijangka mengumumkan tarif baharu pada penghujung tahun ini bagi tempoh Januari-Jun 2021 selepas mendapat persetujuan Kabinet.
Beliau berkata, harga arang batu pada masa ini adalah sekitar RM43 satu tan berbanding RM65 satu tan tahun lepas, sekali gus memberi sedikit penjimatan.
Namun, tegas beliau, penilaian kadar tarif itu akan turut berdasarkan pergerakan dan anggaran harga arang batu dan gas bagi tempoh sehingga penghujung tahun ini.

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 3): Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has been urged to tighten conditions for individuals to open bank accounts to address the issue of online scam, which is on the rise in the country.
Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Mohamed Said said the ministry also sought the cooperation of telecommunication companies to immediately channel the identity, as well as information of the account holders who made the scam calls.
“We always have problems identifying the (scam) callers they use telephone numbers that are registered in the country or overseas, but the owners could not be identified. Secondly, they always contact using the Internet and also Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP), making it difficult to identify.
“This matter is being given serious attention by PDRM (Royal Malaysia Police) because the scam is on the rise, hence will affect our country’s economy,” he said during the Question for Oral Answers in the Dewan Negara today.
He was responding to a supplementary question from Senator Datuk Bashir Alias on the challenges facing the police in addressing online scam in the country.

KUALA LUMPUR: Extending the six-month moratorium on bank loans until December will not affect the liquidity of financial institutions, say non-governmental organisations (NGO) and unions.
The groups were of the opinion banking institutions would not face bankruptcy if the moratorium was extended.

"The profits showed they are still able to survive despite the moratorium and the economic slowdown due to Covid-19.
"Financially, the people are affected (and) the extension will certainly provide some relief.
"Cuepacs does not see it as a detriment to the banks, as it will only slightly reduce their profits.
"The people and the country are in trouble.
