PUTRAJAYA: The sale of goods under 17 international and local online sale platforms, Keluarga Malaysia Cheap Sale @DE DAGANG (JMKM@DE DAGANG), will be held for four months from this Saturday (Sept 3) until December.
Special Task Force on Jihad Against Inflation chairman Tan Sri Annuar Musa (pic) said the programme with an allocation of RM300mil would enable the people to buy daily necessities online such as basic essential goods, foodstuff and home appliances at reasonable prices.
"Through this programme, the government is providing incentives such as price reduction, discount vouchers, rebates, and delivery vouchers to the people to encourage more online purchases of local products from local enterprises,” he said in a media conference after chairing a special task force meeting here Thursday (Sept 1).
JMKM@DE DAGANG can be accessed via various platforms such as Fave, Food Panda, Grab, Lazada, OYO Hospitality, Shopee, TikTok, Bizapp, Jocom, Kumoten, Maybank, InstantStore and Wonderfly.
Annuar, who is also Communications and Multimedia Minister, said the programme can only be enjoyed by Malaysians and they could obtain discounts up to 20 per cent for each transaction.
"Buyers participating in the programme need to enter their identity card details and it is limited to RM500 for a single transaction,” he said.
Annuar said JMKM@DE DAGANG is expected to benefit 100,000 local traders apart from generating five million transactions online.
The JMKM@DE DAGANG programme would also assist entrepreneurs of locally made products and Malaysian brands with potential for export as well as tourism and craft products.
"It is also offering services in the tourism sector such as hotel booking. We are also encouraging the development of the tourism industry to help the country’s economy recover,” he said.
Asked whether the RM300mil allocation would be further supplemented if the amount runs out before the end of the programme, Annuar said the matter would be studied with the Finance Ministry. - Bernama
