'Tunggu Sekejap,' Anwar drops teaser video ahead of special announcement [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: As anticipation grows over a much-awaited "extraordinary tribute" announcement later today, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim last night teased Malaysians with a short video clip on his Facebook page. The 13-second clip featured a snippet from one of his old speeches, which had previously gone viral and was often used by his political opponents. Featured Videos Socket switch causes minor fire at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital ward ▶︎ 0:29 News@9 , Tuesday, July 22 ▶︎ 0:52 Anwar wants laws to protect local creative works from AI threats ▶︎ 0:45 MARKET PULSE PM JULY 22 ▶︎ 0:43 67,000 evacuated as floods sweep Philippines, two missing ▶︎ 0:59 Police block march by students, activists to Parliament ▶︎ 0:29 Eastin Hotel to rebrand as Petaling Jaya Marriott Hotel after RM100mil transformation ▶︎ 1:11 — Anwar Ibrahim (@anwaribrahim) July 22, 2025 In the clip, Anwar can be heard saying: "Saya ulang, hari ini dalam pilihan raya kita menang, saya umum..." (I repeat, today if we win the election, I will announce...). The video then cuts to a classic Malay tune, "Tunggu Sekejap", loosely translated as wait for a moment by the late legendary artiste Tan Sri P. Ramlee, a subtle hint to the public to be patient and wait for today's announcement. It was reported yesterday that Communications Minister and government spokesman Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said Anwar's highly anticipated announcement would be made at 10.30am today. In a separate Facebook post, Anwar had said that the announcement would serve as a testament to the shared commitment towards creating a more equitable and prosperous future.

Rajaa (seated, centre) with Charity Jam Session organising committee members and supporters announcing the event happening on May 4 at Eastin Hotel Kuala Lumpur. Charity Jam Session (CJS) will return for its 24th edition on May 4, continuing its tradition of raising funds through a day-long celebration of music, food and drinks. Running from noon to midnight, the event is jointly organised by Professional Culinaire Association, Society of The Golden Keys Malaysia, Food Aid Foundation and Rotary Club of Metro Kuala Lumpur, with Eastin Hotel Kuala Lumpur as venue sponsor and co-organiser. Launched in 2000 by founder and organising chairman SS Rajaa as a one-off fundraiser, CJS has grown into an annual event that is now Malaysia's longest-running charity gig and a platform for local musicians to shine. Among the acts taking part are the Strollers, Mojo Hand, The Retro Groovers, Vishnu and BATS House Band, Plan D, The Cauliflower Robbery, Sunny Rashid, Sounds of Jane, 50/50 and Small Stones, as announced at a pre-event press conference in Petaling Jaya. Attendees can purchase food and beverages using CJS coupon, with proceeds going towards University Malaya Medical Centre's (UMMC) Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Food Aid Foundation. Silent auctions and lucky draws will also be held throughout the day, with prizes including hotel stay vouchers. Since its inception, CJS has raised over RM3.6mil, with a total of RM2.8mil going towards purchasing lifesaving equipment and subsidising medical care for critically ill children, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds.
