We’ve got the first glimpse of what we can expect from the Samsung Unpacked event tomorrow. PocketNow managed to get these shots from the CTIA show floor that clearly highlights some of the key features of Galaxy Tab 8.9.

Galaxy Tab 8.9 will be sleek, measuring just 8.6mm in thickness, weigh 470 grams and feature an 8.9-inch display supporting 1280×800 (WXGA), 1GHz dual-core processor and dual-band Wi-Fi support.

As we’d expected, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 will run on Honeycomb OS but as opposed to previous Honeycomb tablets we’ve seen, this one will have Samsung’s customized user interface on top of the OS with Live Panels showing emails, weather, stock etc. and Mini Apps Tray that will allow users to select 6 apps to “pop-up” without switching the screen.

Needless to say, Galaxy Tab 8.9 looks promising and we can expect all the details like availability and pricing to go official tomorrow.

Fuel RON 95, 97 and LPG price hikes tonight!

BasicCX — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 15:45:54 +0800

Fuel hikes on cards, key players meeting today

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 — The government will likely call for another round of across-the-board fuel price hikes later today as part of its subsidy rationalisation efforts, industry sources say.

Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Pemandu CEO Datuk Seri Idris Jala have called for a “very important meeting” at 3.00pm in Putrajaya to discuss the second wave of subsidy rationalisation.

“The government’s intention to allow market mechanisms to determine prices of essential goods and output to ensure better allocation of national resources, reduce wastage and increase the efficiency of the economy is expected to continue into 2011 as it remains committed towards subsidy rationalisation,” the media invite read.

Fuel subsidy was last cut in July 16, when prices went up by 5 sen per litre for petrol and diesel, and 10 sen per kg for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Today’s possible fuel price hike move will come only two days after the price of RON97 petrol was increased by 15 sen per litre to RM2.30. It was the second RON97 price hike announced in a month following a 5 sen increase on November 1.

RON97 is subject to a managed float to reflect the price of petrol in the global market.

Yesterday, Bernama reported that the government was considering standardising the price of diesel, which is sold at different rates according to use.

Diesel is sold at RM1.75 at the pump, RM1.25 to fishermen, RM1.45 to the transportation sector and RM2.05 to the industrial sector.

Ismail Sabri said yesterday that people were taking advantage of the subsidised prices to trade in the fuel.

“We propose to study the diesel price subsidy system again,” he told reporters after chairing a meeting on diesel abuse.

Harga petrol dan LPG di jangka naik

KUALA LUMPUR, 3 Dis – Harga bahan api petrol dan diesel serta gas dijangka mengalami kenaikan lagi mulai tengah malam ini ekoran keputusan kerajaan menyelaraskan kadar subsidi – dasar yang diperkenalkan Putrajaya pertengahan tahun ini.

Kenaikan kali ini juga dikatakan membabitkan petrol RON 95 dan RON 97.

Harga petrol RON 97 naik sebanyak 15 sen kepada RM2.30 seliter mulai kelmarin.

Kenaikan RON 97 kelmarin adalah ekoran perubahan harga pasaran yang diapungkan sejak Julai lalu.

Pengumuman rasmi dijadual untuk dibuat petang ini.

“Saya jangkakan kerajaan akan mengumumkan harga petang ini… kenaikan dijangka dalam sekitar 10 hingga 15 sen dan difahamkan, kadar baru ini kuat kuasa mulai esok,” kata sumber industri kepada The Malaysian Insider.

“Kami diumumkan perubahan ini baru-baru ini,” kata sumber itu lagi.

Pada 1 November lalu, harga petrol RON 97 dinaikkan lima sen menjadi RM2.15 seliter.

Semalam, Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob berkata, kerajaan akan menimbang kemungkinan untuk menyeragamkan harga diesel yang diberi bantuan subsidi bagi mengelak berlakunya lagi kes-kes penyelewengan di negara ini.

Katanya, angkah tersebut dilihat relevan bagi memastikan bantuan subsidi tidak disalahgunakan pihak tidak bertanggungjawab ekoran perbezaan harga diesel yang ditetapkan mengikut sektor.

Pada masa ini harga diesel bersubsidi mengikut sektor ialah di pam minyak RM1.75, pengangkutan RM1.45, nelayan RM1.25 manakala industri RM2.05.

Pertengahan Julai lalu, kerajaan mengumumkan pelarasan harga menyaksikan kenaikan harga beberapa barangan keperluan utama.

Dalam kenyataan diumumkan ketika itu, Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak pelarasan harga itu membabitkan petrol, diesel dan Petroleum Gas Cecair (LPG), dan juga gula, yang diselaraskan semula sebagai sebahagian daripada Program Rasionalisasi Subsidi. Selaras dengan itu, Kabinet telah mengambil keputusan bahawa berkuat kuasa pada 16 Julai 2010, harga bagi bahan api, terutamanya petrol, diesel dan LPG, dan juga gula, akan diselaraskan semula sebagai sebahagian dari Program Rasionalisasi Subsidi.

Menurut Najib yang juga Menteri Kewangan, Penyelarasan semula harga barang-barang itu akan membolehkan kerajaan mengurangkan perbelanjaannya melebihi RM750 juta untuk tahun ini.

Berdasarkan proses itu, kerajaan memutuskan harga petrol RON 95 dan diesel akan diselaraskan sebanyak lima sen seliter bagi semua sektor. LPG akan diselaraskan sebanyak 10 sen sekilogram dan petrol RON 97 akan diapung secara terkawal.

Bagi gula pula, harga akan diselaraskan sebanyak 25 sen sekilogram.

Harga petrol RON95, diesel, Petroleum Gas Cecair (LPG) dan gula dijangka mengalami kenaikan lagi mulai tengah malam ini. Ia berikutan keputusan kerajaan menyelaraskan kadar subsidi.

Petrol RON95, dipercayai akan dinaikkan 5 sen menjadikan harga RM1.90 seliter.

Dua hari lalu, petrol RON 97 naik sebanyak 15 sen kepada RM2.30 seliter. Kenaikan itu berikutan perubahan harga pasaran yang diapungkan sejak Julai lalu.

Harga diesel pula dipercayai dinaikkan 5 sen menjadikannya RM1.80 seliter manakala gas LPG juga naik 5 sen menjadikan harganya RM1.90 sekilogram.

Harga gula pula dikatakan akan naik 20 sen menjadikan harganya RM2.10 sekilogram.

Semua harga baru dijangka berkuatkuasa pada jam 12.01 pagi esok. Ia didedahkan pada taklimat kepada editor di Putrajaya oleh Unit Pengurusan Prestasi dan Perlaksanaan (PEMANDU) .

Malaysiakini turut dijemput ke taklimat itu melalui panggilan telefon tetapi wartawan kami dihalang memasuki ibupejabat Unit Kordinasi dan Pelaksanaan di Pejabat Perdana Menteri, kemudiannya tanpa sebarang alasan.

Pengumuman rasmi daripada Jabatan Perdana Menteri berhubung kenaikkan ini dijangkakan pada jam 8 malam.

Kali terakhir harga barangan meningkat adalah pada 15 Julai lalu. Ia membabitkan kenaikan 5-dalam-1. Barangan yang terjejas itu adalah dua gred petrol, diesel, gula dan gas.

Senarai harga baru adalah seperti berikut:

* Petrol RON 95 - RM1.85 kepada RM1.90 seliter

Foreign-Registered VehiclesBarred FromBuyingPetrol

Foreign-Registered Vehicles Barred From Buying Ron95 Petrol

KUANTAN, July 16 (Bernama) -- Foreign-registered vehicles will no longer be allowed to buy RON95 petrol from August 1, said Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said these vehicles would only be allowed to buy RON97 petrol as the fuel would no longer be subsidised but subjected to a managed float.

"This exercise is in accordance with the government's policy that the subsidy is meant for Malaysians and not foreign-registered vehicles," he told reporters after attending the launch of the National Cooperative Day by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak here Friday.

The government on Thursday announced a reduction in the subsidies for fuel, specifically petrol, diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), as well as sugar.

On the subsidy rationalisation, Ismail Sabri said it would not affect the prices of food and goods.

"From our study we found that the additional cost incurred by traders would be minimal.

"For example, with the new price of sugar, the cost of making a glass of teh tarik will go up by 1.2 sen. So there is no reason why the teh tarik price will go up by between 10 and 20 sen," he said.

Thus, he said, he would meet producers, wholesalers and retailers on Monday to get their commitment not to raise prices.

Ismail Sabri said the ministry would mobilise about 1,600 price observers and 2,000 enforcement officers throughout the country in efforts to curtail price increase.

"Report to the ministry if traders raise prices," he added.

Argh... my complaint here is why the new Maybank2u.com is slower than the old one?

I have made a complaint and they took down the website for a while and bring it up online again. But the result is the same as previous. How about you all?

I think the old one is better.
