PM Anwar Announces Subsidised Diesel Price Cut to RM2.10 Per Litre From July

BINTULU, June 21 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today announced that the price of subsidised diesel for Malaysians will be reduced to RM2.10 per litre beginning in July, in a move aimed at easing the cost of living burden on the people. Speaking at an event in Bintulu, Anwar said the reduced diesel price would be implemented nationwide through the use of MyKad, ensuring that the subsidy reaches eligible Malaysian citizens directly. The Prime Minister said the decision reflects the MADANI Government’s commitment to returning the benefits of economic reforms, investment growth and improved national revenues to the rakyat. “Although the world continues to face challenges arising from the global supply crisis, the government has chosen to channel the gains from economic growth back to the people,” he said. Anwar also reaffirmed that the price of RON95 petrol would remain unchanged at RM1.99 per litre. The announcement comes as the government continues efforts to strengthen targeted subsidy mechanisms while protecting the welfare of ordinary Malaysians amid global economic uncertainties. Anwar added that further details on the implementation of the diesel subsidy programme will be announced by Finance Minister II tomorrow. The diesel price reduction is expected to benefit millions of Malaysians and forms part of the government’s broader strategy to balance fiscal reforms with direct assistance for the people. -- MINUTESMY

Leadership Is About Service, Not Position or Pride – PM Anwar Ibrahim

SEREMBAN, June 21 — Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has reaffirmed that leadership is a responsibility to serve the people sincerely, stressing that the nation's real challenges stem from corruption, abuse of power, and those who seek to sow division among Malaysians. Speaking after attending the Rimbunan Hati Dinner Ceremony organised by the Five Generations Organization (PLG) Malaysia in Seremban on Saturday night, Anwar reflected on his recent overseas engagements and his continued commitment to safeguarding the country's future. The Prime Minister said he had recently concluded official visits to Russia and Turkmenistan, where he held a series of important meetings aimed at strengthening Malaysia's long-term interests, particularly in the energy sector amid growing global uncertainties and challenges. Despite returning to Malaysia at approximately 3.30 am, Anwar immediately resumed his official duties in Penang before travelling to Seremban for the event. "Exhaustion is nothing compared to the trust placed upon us to ensure our children inherit a peaceful, stable country and a better future," he said. Anwar also underscored the importance of integrity and public service, noting that leadership should never be driven by status or personal pride. "I believe leadership is not about position or pride. It is a responsibility to serve sincerely, care for the interests of the people, and do the best for the sake of our beloved country," he said. Addressing issues of national unity, the Prime Minister stressed that Malaysia's true challenges are not differences in race or religion but corruption, moral decay, and efforts to incite hatred and racism. He said Malaysia's greatest strength lies in the ability of its diverse communities to live in harmony, respect one another, and work together toward a shared future. Anwar also expressed his appreciation to long-time friends and supporters who have remained steadfast throughout his political journey, thanking them for their friendship, prayers, and unwavering support. He expressed hope that the spirit of ukhuwah, or brotherhood, would continue to strengthen collective efforts in serving religion, the nation, and Malaysia. -- MINUTESMY -- SOURCE: FB ANWAR IBRAHIM

Government Allocates Additional RM1 Million to Support AIMST Students – PM Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 -- Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday engaged with students of AIMST University during the Annual Government Grant Presentation Ceremony and a "Temu Anwar" dialogue session held in an open and meaningful atmosphere. Addressing students at the university in Bedong, Kedah, Anwar stressed that a nation's progress should not be measured solely by economic growth, investment inflows, or employment opportunities, but also by the extent to which all segments of society experience justice and equality. He said Malaysia must not become complacent with its current achievements and should continue striving to create a more inclusive and equitable society. Drawing inspiration from renowned social reformer Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Anwar highlighted the importance of championing justice, human dignity, and equal opportunities for all, noting that Ambedkar rose above discrimination and marginalisation to become a leading advocate for social equality. The Prime Minister also reiterated the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, reminding students that while the world has enough resources to meet everyone's needs, it can never satisfy the greed of a few. He emphasised that values such as compassion, mutual respect, and moderation must remain central to building a civilised and harmonious society. Anwar called on the younger generation to embrace fresh idealism, reject politics rooted in hatred and racism, and help shape Malaysia’s future based on knowledge, unity, and justice. Reaffirming the MADANI Government’s commitment to social justice, he announced that, in addition to the annual RM25 million government grant provided to AIMST University, the government had approved an additional RM1 million allocation to help more students from underprivileged families gain access to quality higher education. The Prime Minister also paid tribute to the late Tun S. Samy Vellu for his contributions and role in the establishment of AIMST University, describing education as a vital pathway for young Malaysians to uplift themselves, their communities, and the nation. He encouraged students to make full use of the educational opportunities available to them and contribute meaningfully to the country's future development. -- MINUTESMY
