Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim commenced a two-day working visit to Penang on Friday, engaging in various activities to interact with the local community and students. The visit kicked off with Friday prayers at Masjid Sembilang, followed by a "Temu Anwar Bersama Pelajar" session at the Tuanku Bainun Teacher Education Institute campus in Bukit Mertajam.
The event, part of the Ambang Merdeka Sahabat Madani Programme, allowed students to interact directly with the country's top leader. The following day, Anwar will officiate the Permatang Pauh Skim Usahawan Bangkit programme and attend the National-Level Tadabbur Perdana Programme and the Permatang Pauh Maidah Wanita Madani Programme.
The highlight of the second day is the 15th Malaysian Scout Jamboree at the Penang State Stadium in Batu Kawan, which will see over 5,450 local and international scouts from 11 countries, including South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, and Sri Lanka. This year's jamboree is particularly significant, as it marks the return of the national event to Penang after a 60-year hiatus.
The visit concludes with the 2026 Ambang Merdeka Sahabat Madani Programme finale at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Permatang Pauh.
