“Every time I meet the rakyat, the discussion will invariably turn to living costs outpacing income growth. I understand the sruggle that you have to go through, and therefore, the Government is making all efforts to ensure that the provided assistance will be substantially enhanced so that this bread-and-butter issue can be addressed, and no rakyat will be left behind under the MADANI Government’s administration,” said Prime Minister and Finance Minister YAB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
