  "account": "PUTRAJAYA - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim recently highlighted six key initiatives in his 2026 National Day Address, aimed at addressing public concerns and meeting daily needs, according to Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming. The six initiatives cover fuel subsidies, school maintenance, healthcare facilities, AI training, e-Invoicing, and assistance for small businesses. Anwar emphasized that these measures demonstrate the Madani government's commitment to listening to the people and prioritizing their well-being. Malaysia's achievements over 69 years of independence were credited to the collective efforts of citizens, regardless of their race, religion, or background, he stated. Nga called for unity and inclusivity to ensure Malaysia's continued progress towards a prosperous, fair, and competitive future. Malaysia's development was a result of Malays, Chinese, Indians, Dayaks, Kadazans, and all citizens working together, he noted. During his 2026 National Day Address, Anwar proposed six additional initiatives, such as increasing fuel subsidies, allocating funds for school maintenance, introducing a free AI subscription program for youths, raising the e-Invoicing exemption threshold, and providing financial support for micro-businesses.",
