PUTRAJAYA – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said a special gesture of appreciation for the people is expected to be announced tomorrow or Wednesday.
He said more time is needed to finalise the announcement following the unity government retreat in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan yesterday.
“The retreat focused on explaining government policies while also listening to public concerns, which led me to consider certain changes and announcements to help ease these issues.
“I mentioned that I would make an announcement within a day or two (whether in the form of additional measures or otherwise) but it requires some careful review,” he said at the Prime Minister’s Department monthly assembly here today.
On July 19 in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, Anwar had hinted that that the extraordinary appreciation to be announced would involve government measures to address the rising cost of living. – July 21, 2025
