ABIM shapes youth thinking and idealism, says PM Anwar
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Islamic Youth Movement (ABIM) has played a major role in shaping the thinking and idealism of the younger generation since its establishment on August 6, 1971, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. In a Facebook post today, he said that as a missionary and welfare movement rooted in the spirit of knowledge and social awareness, ABIM is an important platform in producing leaders with integrity and the people's spirit. 'Happy 54th Anniversary to ABIM, may it continue to be the moral voice of the people, face the challenges of the times with wisdom and courage, and remain a strategic partner of the country in building a more equitable and dignified future for all,' he said. Anwar, who is also the former president of ABIM, said the government recognises the organisation's great contribution in strengthening a progressive understanding of Islam, encouraging just social change, and promoting a human development agenda that is in line with the aspirations of MADANI Malaysia. - Bernama

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

PM's Announcement Today Reflects MADANI Govt Resolve Amid Political Pressures
KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) -- Several cost-of-living relief measures, announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today, reflect the MADANI Government's firm commitment not to bow to the pressure of parties attempting to undermine national stability. Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (ABIM) president Ahmad Fahmi Mohd Samsudin said that ABIM is confident that these measures will gain greater comprehensive value and long-term impact through the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), which is expected to be tabled in Parliament soon. 'Initiatives such as the one-off cash payment of RM100 to all adults, the reduction of RON95 petrol prices to RM1.99 per litre, and the doubling of the Rahmah MADANI Sales allocation are among the immediate steps which can alleviate the rising cost of living affecting the majority of people, particularly the low and middle-income groups,' he said in a statement, today. Ahmad Fahmi, however, stressed that the real benefits of these initiatives will only be realised if they are implemented with integrity, efficient governance, and genuine concern for the people in need. 'ABIM believes that the success of the Malaysia MADANI agenda will only be guaranteed through a combination of strong political will, active and progressive civil society involvement, and the unwavering support of all Malaysians,' he added. He also emphasised the importance of thorough monitoring and transparency in the implementation of all announced initiatives, adding that ABIM remains committed to being a strategic partner in supporting the reform agenda, particularly those which uphold the principles of social justice and good governance. Ahmad Fahmi also expressed appreciation for the Prime Minister's announcement, describing it as proof of the MADANI Government's ongoing commitment to addressing key issues faced by the people, while continuing the nation's recovery and reform agenda. Meanwhile, the Anwar Ibrahim Club (AIC) described the Prime Minister's announcement as proof of the MADANI Government's concern for the welfare and well-being of the people, particularly in facing the increasingly challenging cost-of-living pressures. 'It reflects the commitment of the country's leadership to ensuring that the people continue to receive support and are not left behind amid the country's economic development,' it said in a statement.
