Nearly 50% of Malaysian farmers are over 60.

The youth? Missing from the fields.

This isn’t just a number; it’s a warning.

Who will grow our food tomorrow?

We need youth, innovation, and bold action — now.

According to the latest Merdeka Centre poll, only 49% were hopeful about the country's direction in late 2022 — a number that has now flipped, with a staggering 68% saying Malaysia is heading down the wrong path.

A 5% SST hits imported fruits in Malaysia from 1 July 2025.

From grapes to oranges — the price of your go-to fruits might be going up.

Swipe to see which commonly imported fruits are affected.

What do you think? Fair or frustrating?

Importing fruits in Malaysia is a manufactured crisis. We are food insecure — 60% imported to fulfill domestic demand amounting to RM 78.8B in 2024.

Why transfer the burden to people when govt policies fail?

The QTs here defending the new tax (or tariff) saying it's just imported foods, are clearly people who have never bought fruits & vegetables in both supermarkets & wet markets.

We're a mid income country with limited agriculture, of course most of our produce is imported.

Dear IGP @PDRMsia, KP @imigresenmy & Menteri @saifnasution

Seminggu dah berlalu, tapi masih tiada siapa berani mengaku bertanggungjawab atas pelanggaran hak aku.

Tak apa. Surat cinta pertama sudah ku hantar. Ku selitkan tiga lagu cinta utk kamu jawab.

Kamu ada tujuh hari.

@mkini_bm Tax the rich/wealthy don't tax the consumption.

Today, PMX said, he approved the funding request by Dr #Mahathir even though there is a rivalry bet. them.

But PMX hasn't approved the 45 Funding Applications (worth RM 40 Millions) since January 2025.

What rivalry does the Indians need to have, so that #PMX will approve it?

[The Middle Ground @tmiddleground25]

It doesn't matter if it's imported or local. Fruits should not be taxed. Period.

We know what it says in the gazetted document.

According to NHMS 2024, only 17% of adults consume 2 servings of fruit/day.

Make the fruits accessible not expensive!

Alright, let me try to give two examples of how the Mobile Phone Call (MPC) dataset can be abused:
1 - Tracking protestors/activists
2 - Profiling voters

Sebab 60% of our food is imported. Just say you don't know.

And this is not the full list of imported food.

A 2% wealth tax would raise around 60% more than the RM5 billion in revenue the government hopes to obtain from its expansion of the sales and service tax (SST), says former Klang MP Charles Santiago. @mpklang

Taxing fruits is strange when the health ministry recently published its morbidity report, saying Malaysians consume very few fruits and vegetables.
