'Petrol price reduction shows govt has kept its promise'
KOTA BARU: The reduction in petrol price will silence critics who previously accused the PH-led government of breaking its long-standing promise to lower the prices of fuel. Kelantan Pakatan Harapan women's chief Dr Hafidzah Mustakim said the announcement of a package to relieve the rising cost of living by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today reflected a serious and people-centric approach in delivering direct subsidies to those in need. "The prime minister has fulfilled his word. This shows the government listens and takes real action, not empty promises," she added. She also said the decision to double the allocation for Rahmah Sales from RM300 million to RM600 million was a clear demonstration of the Madani government's commitment to easing the people's burden, especially when essential items were becoming expensive. "This increase means more frequent Rahmah Sales, which are often referred to locally as 'Kedai Cari Rakyat'. Previously, each state constituency held four sales monthly. "With this boost, the programme can be carried out even more regularly, especially in rural areas where they are most needed," she said. Dr Hafidzah, who is Kota Lama assemblyman, described today's announcement as a milestone in government aid delivery, showcasing a deep concern for public well-being. "The RM100 one-off assistance for all Malaysians aged 18 and above also proves this government is fair and inclusive. No one is left behind," she said when met at her office.

PM's cost-of-living relief measures show MADANI govt resolve
KUALA LUMPUR: The Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (ABIM) has lauded Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's latest cost-of-living relief measures, calling them a clear sign of the MADANI Government's determination to resist political pressures while prioritising national stability. ABIM president Ahmad Fahmi Mohd Samsudin expressed confidence that the initiatives, including a one-off RM100 cash payment for adults, reduced RON95 petrol prices to RM1.99 per litre, and expanded Rahmah MADANI Sales allocations, would provide immediate relief to low and middle-income groups. 'These measures reflect the government's responsiveness to the people's struggles amid rising living costs,' he said in a statement. However, he stressed that their success hinges on 'integrity, efficient governance, and genuine concern for those in need.' Ahmad Fahmi also highlighted the importance of the upcoming 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) in ensuring long-term impact. 'The Malaysia MADANI agenda requires strong political will, civil society engagement, and public support to succeed,' he added. Transparency in implementation was another key point raised by ABIM. The group pledged to remain a strategic partner in advocating for reforms aligned with social justice and good governance. Separately, the Anwar Ibrahim Club (AIC) welcomed the announcements as proof of the government's dedication to public welfare. 'These initiatives show that the people's needs remain central to national planning,' it said, urging continued public support for reforms. – Bernama
