  "summary": "The Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, has announced a restoration of the Budi95 petrol and diesel subsidy quota to 300 litres per month, up from the current 200 litres. This move, which Anwar suggested was initially intended for the 2027 Budget, aims to provide temporary relief to the public ahead of the upcoming Merdeka Day celebration. The announcement, made on the eve of the national holiday, also includes a list of \"goodies\" for Malaysians as the country prepares to mark its 63rd year of independence.",
