Kuala terengganu: The Terengganu branch of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) will hold the Rahmah Ramadan Bazaar (BRR) 2026 at eight selected locations in each parliamentary constituency across the state. Its director, Mohd Musfi Lat, emphasized that the programme aims to encourage bazaar traders to offer Rahmah-priced food to customers, to help ease living costs throughout Ramadan.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the initiative also promotes the use of cashless payments, among both traders and consumers at the bazaars. As an incentive, selected BRR traders will receive a one-off financial reward of RM100 in the form of an e-wallet. Additionally, RM20 in e-wallet credit will be given to the first 1,200 visitors at each session at selected bazaars, for cashless transactions. Each location will involve two e-wallet distribution sessions, implemented through collaborations with e-wallet operators or providers, as part of the Retail Digitalisation Initiative (REDI).
The eight selected locations for the BRR 2026 include the Kerteh Ramadan Bazaar in Kemaman, Kampung Raja Ramadan Bazaar in Besut, Gong Badak Ramadan Bazaar in Kuala Nerus, and Binjai Rendah Ramadan Bazaar in Marang. The programme will also be held at the Paka Ramadan Bazaar in Dungun, Sungai Tarom Ramadan Bazaar in Setiu, Kuala Ibai Ramadan Bazaar in Kuala Terengganu, and Kuala Berang Ramadan Bazaar in Hulu Terengganu.
Furthermore, more than 100 PJRM locations will be implemented statewide, comprising 51 on-premises and 65 mobile operations, across all eight districts, encompassing both urban and rural areas. It is anticipated that 30,000 to 50,000 consumers will benefit from the programme, which offers essential goods at prices 10 to 30 per cent lower than current market rates. The public is encouraged to take advantage of PJRM Ramadan 2026, by visiting https://pjrm.kpdn.gov.my for information on dates, locations, and items offered.
Mohd Musfi assured that the public need not worry about price increases for coconut milk and other raw goods during Ramadan, as KPDN will continue to monitor and control essential goods prices. Officers will be on the ground to ensure prices do not exceed controlled rates, and the Festive Season Maximum Price Scheme will be implemented to help consumers obtain goods at reasonable prices.
