Anwar's ‘special tribute' to Malaysians to be announced tomorrow
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil confirmed that the announcement will be made at 10.30am on Tuesday (July 23), calling on the public to 'wait for it' in a Facebook post.
Anwar had earlier said the announcement—described as a special token of appreciation for the rakyat—would be made either on Tuesday or Wednesday, pending the finalisation of certain measures.
'Before I make the announcement, a few new approaches are being finalised,'Anwar said.
While he did not reveal specifics, Anwar stressed that the measures required careful and thoughtful consideration.
'These concerns need to be addressed thoroughly before I proceed with any major announcements or changes.
'I've said that I'll make the announcement—possibly in the form of additional measures—within a day or two.
'But I need a bit more time to ensure all aspects are properly handled,' he said during the Prime Minister's Department monthly assembly on Monday.
He previously indicated that the measures would aim to ease the burden of rising living costs and provide relief to those affected by inflation and economic pressures.

Consumer sector set for boost from cash aid, fuel reforms — analysts
KUALA LUMPUR: Consumer sector, including food and beverage (F&B), will receive immediate boost from the government's latest cash handout and fuel subsidy reforms, analysts said. The stimulus should also provide a modest upside for banks, while consumer-linked real estate inverstment trusts (Reits) may gain from higher tenant sales, improving occupancy and rental performance. Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Wednesday announced a one-off RM100 cash aid totalling RM2 billion under Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) as part of fiscal measures to address rising cost of living. The prime minister also announced a lower RON95 petrol price to RM1.99 per litre to ease transportation costs for the public and a freeze of scheduled toll price hikes on 10 highways. Analysts said the likes of Nestle (M) Bhd, Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd, QL Resources Bhd and Farm Fresh Bhd should benefit from increased demand for staple F&B products, many of which may be eligible for purchase using the RM100 credit. The retailers expected to benefit from these initiatives include 99 Speed Mart Retail Holdings Bhd, Aeon Co (M) Bhd, Eco-Shop Marketing Bhd and Mr DIY Group (M) Bhd. Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd (HLIB) said the one-off cash transfer and lower RON95 price for the majority of Malaysians is supportive of private consumption. "Assuming the full RM100 must be spent to realise the benefit, we estimate the RM2 billion would increase private consumption growth by about 0.2 percentage point. "The additional cash transfer of RM2 billion translates to 0.1 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP)," it added. HLIB noted that the direct cash injection into consumers' wallets from Aug 31 is timely and will help sustain spending momentum heading into the fourth quarter of 2025. "We expect 99 Speedmart and Aeon to benefit from these developments. 99 Speedmart, with 2,800 outlets nationwide and an average basket size of RM21.40, is particularly well positioned to capture recurring spend from consumers using Sara credits. "Aeon, with its urban footprint and diversified merchandise, may see uplift from middle-income segments with improved purchasing sentiment," HLIB said. CIMB Securities continues to favour companies within the consumer sector that benefit from stable demand for essential goods and are well-placed to tap into downtrading trends by catering to the mass-market segment. "We are keeping our earnings forecasts unchanged at this juncture, as we believe the announced fiscal support measures will underpin our existing revenue growth assumptions for the stocks under our coverage," it added. The consumer sector is currently trading at 27.2 times its one-year forward price-to-earnings ratio, which is just over one standard deviation below its five-year average of 29.1 times, CIMB Securities said. It said the current valuations are reasonable, taking into account subdued consumer sentiment, the higher sales tax on discretionary items, boycott-related impacts on certain brands such as Nestlé and Berjaya Food Bhd, as well as rising costs linked to the expanded sales and service tax (SST) on rental expenses. MBSB Research, formerly MIDF Research, expects the consumer discretionary segment to register the most immediate upside. This is given its sensitivity to short-term demand shifts and sentiment. "Likely beneficiaries include Aeon (broad retail exposure), Padini Hodlings Bhd (affordable fashion), Oriental Kopi Holdings Bhd (F&B) and 99 Speedmart, which commands strong traction among price-sensitive urban and semi-urban consumers," it said. The consumer staples segment, MBSB Reserach said, remains structurally resilient, with consistent volume support driven by essential nature of demand and targeted cash disbursements. Players such as F&N, Life Water Bhd and Leong Hup International Bhd are poised to benefit from steady consumption of beverages, bottled water and poultry products. Meanwhile, HLIB said the government is likely to see a slight rise in subsidy expenditure due to the lower subsidised fuel price from RM2.05 to RM1.99 per litre. However, this is expected to be fully balanced out by the targeted subsidy rationalisation measures, lower global oil prices and a stronger ringgit. "At the same time, the government has already implemented SST expansion in July 2025 with a target of RM5 billion additional revenue for 2025. Taking all this into account, we maintain our fiscal deficit projection of 3.8 per cent of GDP," it said. HLIB has a positive view of the government's "appreciation package", highlighting the Sara credit as a key component. "With RM2 billion allocated, this one-off aid, redeemable at over 4,100 outlets and local grocers broadens the impact beyond the B40 segment by providing per capita support. "A household of four, for instance, could receive RM400 in total, enhancing purchasing power for essential goods through year end," it said. HLIB said the government's decision to cut RON95 petrol prices to RM1.99 per litre and freeze toll rate increases on 10 major highways is expected to ease financial pressure on households. These initiatives, it noted, will boost net disposable income, particularly for daily commuters and lower-income groups, thereby supporting consumption growth across the wider retail sector.

Anwar's injudicious RM10b waste to curry voter favour
COMMENT | Midway through his first-ever term as prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, in whom much hope was vested, has shown himself to be neither a statesman nor an astute politician. This is evident with the latest ill-advised handouts and wastage, which I estimate at over RM10 billion, to ingratiate himself with the public. It's almost like a pre-election handout a la his newfound bosom buddy, Umno. Except that there is no immediate election on the horizon. Hang on, but there is - the Sabah state election must be held at the latest by December this year or January next year, some six months away.

Malaysia calls for ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia following border clashes
Published on: Friday, July 25, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 25, 2025 By: AFP Text Size: Anwar stressed, 'ASEAN's strength lies in its solidarity and that peace must always be our collective and unwavering choice.' - Bernama pic Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim urged Thailand and Cambodia to 'stand down' following deadly border clashes that escalated Thursday, with both nations exchanging rocket fire and airstrikes. The violence marks a sharp deterioration in a decades-old territorial dispute over the Emerald Triangle region. 'The least we can expect is for them to stand down and hopefully try to enter into negotiation,' said Anwar, whose country currently chairs ASEAN. The regional bloc includes both Thailand and Cambodia, with Malaysia emphasizing the need for unity. Cambodian forces launched rockets and artillery shells into Thailand's Sisaket province, killing one soldier and at least 11 civilians near a petrol station. Thailand retaliated with F-16 airstrikes, reigniting tensions over the contested border area, home to ancient temples claimed by both nations. 'The development is concerning. They are important members of ASEAN. They are very close to Malaysia,' Anwar told reporters. 'Peace is the only option available.' Later, the Malaysian leader revealed he had spoken with Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, pressing for an immediate ceasefire. 'In our conversations, in Malaysia's capacity as ASEAN Chair for 2025, I appealed directly to both leaders for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further hostilities,' Anwar stated on Facebook. The clashes erupted near two border temples, with each side accusing the other of initiating the violence. The dispute dates back over 15 years, with sporadic military confrontations, including a deadly firefight in May that left a Cambodian soldier dead. ASEAN foreign ministers had gathered in Kuala Lumpur just two weeks earlier, alongside counterparts from major powers like the US and China, highlighting the bloc's role in regional stability. Anwar stressed, 'ASEAN's strength lies in its solidarity and that peace must always be our collective and unwavering choice.' * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
