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.

ABIM Strongly Condemns US Veto Of Un Ceasefire Resolution In Gaza
KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Bernama) -- The Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (ABIM) has strongly condemned the United States' decision to veto the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. ABIM president Ahmad Fahmi Mohd Samsudin said the move, despite overwhelming support from 14 of the 15 UNSC members, reflected a blatant disregard for global consensus and the urgent need to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. "The rationale offered by the US, that the resolution failed to tie the ceasefire to the release of hostages, reveals a disturbing prioritisation of geopolitical interests over the lives of over two million Palestinian civilians, the majority of whom are women and children," he said in a statement today. He said that the resolution's omission of specific condemnation of Hamas' actions on Oct 7, 2023, or demands for disarmament, cannot and should not be used as justification to oppose efforts aimed at halting indiscriminate killings and mass displacement. He stressed that a permanent ceasefire is a prerequisite for any sustainable resolution to the conflict, not a bargaining chip to be traded at the expense of human lives. Ahmad Fahmi said ABIM reiterated that any path to peace must be based on justice, respect for international law and the recognition of the Palestinian people's inalienable rights, including their right to self-determination, statehood and the right of return. "The United States' repeated use of its veto power has continued to shield Israel from accountability, further eroding the legitimacy of international institutions and fuelling impunity for war crimes," he said. He said that, as such, ABIM has called for three key actions, namely an immediate and unconditional ceasefire to end hostilities and protect civilians in Gaza; an international accountability mechanism to investigate and prosecute war crimes, including attacks on hospitals, schools and refugee camps; and the need for global pressure, especially from Muslim-majority and Global South nations, to demand justice for Palestinians and to halt all forms of complicity with the Israeli regime, including military and economic support. ABIM also reaffirmed its commitment to mobilising international solidarity and supporting the Malaysian government's diplomatic efforts through platforms such as the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and ASEAN.
