Malaysia PM Unveils Measures to Tackle Living Costs, Support Local Businesses Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is facing intense pressure to address rising living costs and growing discontent among his constituents.
His response is a package of measures aimed at easing the burden on ordinary Malaysians, including increased quotas for subsidized petrol and diesel purchases.
The announcement comes as no surprise, given the PM's coalition has been under siege from criticism over its handling of corruption cases and failure to deliver on promised reforms.
