Anwar pledges targeted Budi Madani support for smallholders, entrepreneurs, vulnerable groups

KUALA LUMPUR, May 25 — The government has agreed to continue the Budi Madani: Budi Agri-Komoditi initiative in a targeted manner to assist smallholders, entrepreneurs and vulnerable groups who are the backbone of the country’s economy.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that he understands the pulse of the people who are currently facing the pressure of the rising cost of living and global economic uncertainty.

“Based on these considerations, the government has agreed to continue the Budi Madani: Budi Agri-Komoditi initiative in a targeted manner to assist smallholders, entrepreneurs and vulnerable groups who are the backbone of the country’s economy,” he said in a Facebook post today.

The matter was decided at the National Economic Action Council (MTEN) Meeting today after hearing the main presentation from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Ministry of Plantations and Commodities (KPK) regarding the increasingly pressing global supply chain crisis.

Regarding the people’s health security, Anwar said that overall, the supply of medicines in the country is still stable and MOH will continue to closely monitor any challenges involving the stock chain and prices to prevent the people from becoming victims of the situation.

“Whatever the challenges that lie ahead, the Madani Government will continue to work hard, act with responsibility and ensure that the welfare of the people is always the country’s priority,” he said. — Bernama
