PM Anwar fulfils fuel price promise, eases cost of living
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has delivered on his promise to lower fuel prices, with RON95 now priced at RM1.99 per litre, one of the lowest rates globally. Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming hailed the move as proof of the government's commitment to easing the people's financial burden despite economic challenges. 'Anwar said if he became Prime Minister, fuel prices would go down, and now, they will really go down,' Nga said during a press conference after officiating the ASEAN Real Estate Conference (AREC) 2025 and ARCHIDEX 2025. He added that the government's initiatives, including the RM100 one-off aid under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) programme and the freeze on toll rate hikes, reflect its dedication to helping all Malaysians, including the often-overlooked M40 group. The RM2 billion SARA allocation is expected to benefit 22 million Malaysians, providing a much-needed economic boost. Nga emphasised that the government remains focused on long-term nation-building, even if some decisions may be unpopular in the short term. 'Sometimes in the government, we are required to make some unpopular, extremely difficult decisions as leaders who care about the next generation,' he said. He also hinted at more positive announcements in Budget 2026, set to be tabled in October. In addition to cost-of-living measures, Nga reaffirmed the government's commitment to housing reforms through PR1MA and affordable housing projects. 'You have to give us at least three terms to realise our vision,' he said, urging patience and continued support for the administration. – Bernama

PM Anwar's economic initiatives reflect strong fundamentals, says Hajiji
KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government has praised Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's recent economic initiatives, calling them a clear sign of Malaysia's strong economic fundamentals under the MADANI Government. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the measures, designed to ease the rising cost of living, demonstrate the federal government's commitment to public welfare. 'This reflects the Prime Minister's genuine concern for the people's well-being,' Hajiji said in a statement. He highlighted the one-off RM100 aid for Malaysians aged 18 and above, redeemable at 4,100 retail outlets, as well as the expansion of Rahmah MADANI Sales to every state constituency. The reduction of RON95 petrol prices to RM1.99 per litre under the targeted subsidy scheme was another key move, expected to benefit over 18 million Malaysians. 'This has truly fulfilled the people's aspirations,' Hajiji added. The additional public holiday on Sept 15 for Malaysia Day was also welcomed as a recognition of the occasion's national significance. In Sarawak, Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg expressed gratitude for the federal aid, noting that combined state and federal assistance would further ease public burdens. 'The people of Sarawak will receive help from both Kuala Lumpur and the state government,' he said in Bintulu. Earlier, Anwar announced multiple initiatives, including toll hike deferrals and subsidised fuel, as part of the government's appreciation for public support. – Bernama

BREAKING: 'This Isn't Politics, It's For The Rakyat' — Datuk MYDIN Declares ‘Election' Season Open
Subscribe to our FREE In what some are calling the most delicious democratic exercise in the country, the rakyat is once again heading to the polls. But this time, it's not to elect MPs — it's to choose their favourite brands. Retail giant MYDIN has launched the MYDIN Election Campaign 2025 (Kempen Pilihan Raya MYDIN 2025), inviting Malaysians to vote with their wallets and unlock unbeatable savings. With the rallying cry 'Pilihan Rakyat, Harga Rakyat' (People's Choice, People's Price), the campaign promises RM6.8 million in 'development funds' in the form of vouchers, discounts, and cashback to 'voters' who fulfil their civic duty (by shopping, of course). 'This isn't politics — this is for the rakyat,' declared MYDIN Managing Director and appointed election chairman, Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin, to cheers from shoppers supporters at the campaign's launch in MYDIN Subang Jaya, on Tuesday. He added that this out-of-the-box campaign is meant to help ease the rakyat's financial burden by providing extra value to consumers at a time when the cost of living continues to rise. Welcome to the Aisle-lection MYDIN's version of a 'constituency' spans 26 Parliamentary seats and 85 DUNs (Daily Use Needs), involving 123 participating brands, each representing categories like snacks, sauces, soaps, and more. The brand that racks up the most votes will be crowned a 'YB' or Yang Berharga (aka, the MVP of the supermarket shelf). Bargain hunters Political analysts are predicting tight races in swing zones like Parlimen Snek Rakyat and Parlimen Kopi & Teh, and expect intense battlegrounds in Parlimen Kucing and DUN Tisu Dapur. Campaign Trail Begins Although the campaign officially kicks off this Thursday, participating 'candidates' are already deep in the heat of the race. Snack coalitions, toiletry blocs, and even the Chicken Nugget Lobby are stepping up their campaigns with 'manifestos' promising discounts, bundle deals, and giveaways if they win the elections. In Parlimen Senyuman, oral care brand Pepsodent is making its case with the slogan '1 Home, 1 Healthy Smile,' promising to keep voters with baby teeth to dentures to give their best grin confidently. Meanwhile, popular dairy alternative Oatside, contesting in Parlimen Susu, is appealing to all walks of life with: ' The choice of baristas, vegan warriors, and kopi kampung lovers. We promise a more oat-amistic future for all.' What's In It For The Rakyat? To reward every 'voter' who joins the supermarket showdown, MYDIN is rolling out a lineup of guaranteed benefits, including: Ganjaran Rakyat — Over RM400,000 in vouchers and cashback for voters on the MYDIN app (Sept 1–16) Cashback Rakyat — Up to RM300,000 in e-wallet cashback and discounts (July 25–Oct 5) Rezeki Rakyat — A whopping RM1.68 million in exclusive promotions, contests, and 'Cash Out' games for voters using MYDIN Pay How To Vote (And Win) The MYDIN Election Campaign 2025 launches on July 24 and runs through October 6, with two key voting phases: Physical Voting: Shoppers who purchase participating items in-store from July 24 to August 31 will automatically cast a vote for that brand. Digital Voting: From September 1 to 16, voters can cast their ballots via the MYDIN Rewards app. Each purchased item counts as one vote. So, the more items you buy, the greater your influence. Results will be announced on September 18, with MYDIN promising full transparency (and maybe a manual recount if needed, just in case there's a blackout 😋). In his role as election chairman, Datuk Ameer stressed that while he will remain impartial in the process, he encourages Malaysians to support local brands and MSMEs that are contesting. As he wrapped up the launch, he ended with lines that felt a little too familiar, and pledged to help Malaysians in whatever way the retailer could. Janji ditepati! — Apa lagi rakyat mau? Datuk MYDIN. Surprisingly, when asked if he'd actually consider a real political career, the MYDIN boss simply laughed, 'Have to laugh like a politician,' before pointing at his wife, ' Maybe not — we have to ask the datin. Not for the time being.' For more details on the MYDIN Election Campaign 2025, check out MYDIN's official website or social media channels.
