Fading Bazaar, Fading Livelihoods: Rantau Panjang Traders Plead for Revival in Budget 2027
In the heart of Rantau Panjang, the silence speaks louder than the voices that once filled the space. At Bazar Siti Fatimah, where crowds once thronged rows of stalls, 66-year-old dry food seller Sapinah Abdul Rahman now stands before customers who rarely come. On some days, her profit is as little as RM5 to RM10, barely enough to sustain herself, yet she opens her stall every morning because it is the only livelihood she has left. “This bazaar used to be very lively, packed with food stalls and people,” she told Bernama. “Now those days are just memories.” Her story is echoed by dozens of traders across the once-thriving border town, who are turning their hopes toward Budget 2027 as their last chance to breathe life back into a fading community.

Bursa Malaysia Stays Firmly Higher at Midday as Banking, Healthcare Heavyweights Lift KLCI
Kuala Lumpur, 22 September The Stock market rallies tell stories, and the story of Bursa Malaysia's Tuesday morning session was one of quiet confidence rather than frenzied speculation. When the midday bell paused trading at 12.30pm, the benchmark FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI stood at 1,681.41, a gain of 14.47 points or 0.87 per cent, after oscillating between an intraday low of 1,665.23 and a high of 1,681.89. For market watchers, this was not merely a number on a screen. It was the culmination of steady, sustained buying across the session, the kind of grind higher that traders often find more reassuring than a sharp, vertical spike, because it suggests conviction rather than impulse.
