The 10 promises duly marked and graded by The Star editors.

GST

Abolish the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and take steps to reduce cost of living.

> Pakatan Harapan has kept its promise to abolish GST.

Well done, Pa kata n! But we have yet to feel the effects of SST.

Spousal EPF

Introduce EPF contribution for housewives.

> Deputy Prime

Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has introduced the first phase of the Suri Incentive to enable members to save a minimum of RM5 monthly into their EPF account, which the Government will match with a monthly

contribution of RM40.

Good f i rst step but do move fa ster to a mend the necessa ry l aws for the next phases.

RCI

Set up Royal Commissions of Inquiry on 1MDB, FELDA, MARA and Tabung Haji, and to reform the governance of these bodies.

> The Government has launched an investigation into 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) where former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has been charged in relation to the sovereign wealth fund.

> The status of Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) will be decided sometime in August with plans to revamp its main activities under several ministries.

Y ou’ve work very hard on very complex issu es but where a re the RCIs?

Fuel subsidy

Stabilise the price of petrol and introduce targeted petrol subsidies.

> The Finance Ministry fixed RON95 and diesel at RM2.20 and RM2.18 respectively while RON97 is floated on a weekly basis.

Good effort, but don’t let it go to you r head.

Minimum wage

Equalise the minimum wage nationally and start the processes to increase the minimum wage.

> Human Resources Minister M Kulasegaran is working on implementing a RM1,500 minimum wage.

Still a long way off to ta rget.

Malaysia Agreement

Set up a Special Cabinet Committee to properly enforce the Malaysia Agreement 1963.

> Federal Cabinet agrees to set up a special committee on the Malaysia Agreement 1963.

Still waiting for you to walk the talk.

Abolish unnecessary debts that have been imposed on Felda settlers.

> Newly appointed Felda chairman, Tan Sri Megat Zaharuddin Megat Mohd Nor, has been tasked to spearhead the forensic audit team to investigate all its activities.

Decent sta rt. Now you need to f igu re out how to fu nd this.

> PTPTN chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan is looking into ways for borrowers to begin loan repayments only after their salaries are over RM4,000 a month. He has also lifted the travel ban on 429,945 loan defaulters.

Half the pro mise fulf illed, but we wonder how this will eventu ally affect futu re loa n borrowers.

PTPTN

Health scheme

Introduce Skim Peduli Sihat with RM500 worth of funding for the B40 group for basic treatments in registered private clinics.

Mega projects

Initiate a comprehensive review of all megaprojects that have been awarded to foreign countries.

> Government suspends the East Coast Rail Link, defers the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) and cancels the MRT3 project.
