WITH the success of the Menu Rahmah, Domestic Trade and Living Costs Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub wants to expand the concept to other sectors of the economy, including an initiative to have ‘baju’ Rahmah for the upcoming Hari Raya.
The idea will be discussed by his office with a prominent clothing store, said Salahuddin in a Twitter post.
In his tweet, @MyDSA_official said:
Petang tadi saya telah menghubungi pihak pengurusan sebuah gedung pakaian terkemuka tanahair . Hasrat saya utk syarikat ini fikirkan tawaran harga RAHMAH untuk sambutan Hari Raya Aidil Fitri tahun ini. Doakan . Kami akn berjumpa di pejabat KPDN minggu depan.

(I contacted the management of a prominent clothing store in the country this afternoon (Feb 11). My wish for this company is to consider RAHMAH’s price offer for this year’s Hari Raya Aidil Fitri celebration. We will meet at the KPDN office next week.)
Nevertheless, netizens are not sure what this will exactly turn out to be, with some perhaps ignorantly asking if the baju for Raya will be sold at the same rate as the Menu Rahmah, which is RM5.

Barang makan kita blh tau rasa ok atau tak.. klu baju rahmah, kene check jugak.. tarik sikit bahagian lengan/kolar, tgk fabrik, klu kita tarik perlahan, ada kesan reput, baju tu da lama sgt stok.. mgkn kesan lipatan..

(We can tell if our food is okay or otherwise. A thorough check is needed if we’re talking about baju Rahmah.)
User @afifshukri29 suggested something else:
Salam yb sy cdg kerajaan buat kelas tuesyen rahmah utk semua para pelajar. Dgn harga murah sambil dpt pahala. Gunakan kemudahan sekolah. Bg saguhati kpd guru2 yg terlibat dgn ikhlas

The user urged the Government to extend the Rahmah initiative to tuition classes for all students.
(With a cheap price while getting rewards in the hereafter. Use school facilities. And compensate the teachers who will volunteer.)
While user @azrin6199 went ballistic:
Org nak hidup lama bukan setakat raya jer.. cuba la buat rumah , petrol , supermarket , supplier atau semuala .. jadi RAHMAH ? Faham x? Mesti tak boleh kan? Sebab kos barang dikawal taikun.. apa guna jadi menteri? Pergi deal pastu kata alasan lain plak..adehh
— Mohd Azrin (@azrin6199) February 11, 2023
(Everyone wants to live a long life, not just for Raya, thus the Government should try the Rahmah initiative for homes, fuel, supermarket, supplies and etc.
(It is not be possible, right? Because the cost of goods is controlled by tycoons. What’s the point of being a minister?) — Feb 12, 2023
