Nga praises 6 key initiatives announced by PM

Malaysia's Housing and Local Government Minister, Nga Kor Ming, praised Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's six key initiatives unveiled in his 2026 National Day address. Minister Nga emphasized that Malaysia's achievements have been possible due to the shared efforts and contributions of all Malaysian citizens, regardless of race, religion, or background.

The Prime Minister's initiatives, which directly benefit the people, focus on fuel subsidies, school maintenance, healthcare facilities, AI training, e-invoicing, and assistance for small traders and SMEs.

These include restoring BUDI Madani eligibility to 300 litres for BUDI95 and 400 litres for BUDI Diesel, increasing the 2027 school maintenance allocation to RM1.5 billion, introducing a free three-month AI subscription program for 100,000 youths aged 18 to 30, allocating RM1 billion to accelerate digitalization across 150 hospitals and 2,000 health clinics, raising the e-invoicing exemption threshold from RM1 million to RM3 million, and providing RM200 million for Geran Sejahtera Madani and RM1 billion for micro-business financing in 2026, totaling RM6 billion in financing.
