00:00Discounted groceries at Rama sales and job opportunities from career fairs are among
00:06the unity government's initiatives earning praise from Malaysians.
00:11As the administration marks its two-year anniversary, citizens expressed appreciation to the star
00:16for the stability and consistent leadership provided, contrasting it with the political
00:20turbulence from 2018 to 2022, which saw three prime ministers in succession.
00:28For us, now, consider it's a very stable government because our PM give a lot Madani
00:36programme to all Malaysians, that we earn anything, learn a lot and then give a lot
00:44of privilege to Malaysians.
00:46Wong and her husband travelled from Seremban to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, KLCC,
00:51for the Madani government's two-year anniversary celebration to TM on Sunday.
00:56Gauteng Guan from Srikambangan lauded the unity government for surviving the opposition's
01:00attempts to topple it two years ago.
01:03I prefer constant government, stable government and then we need a more stabilised ringgit.
01:14Hopefully the ringgit can go back to four ringgit against the USD.
01:22Meanwhile, Yogeswari Balan, who shopped for discounted household goods at the Rahma Sale,
01:27echoed Wong's views on the Rahma Initiative, saying it was the unity government's key achievement.
01:34It's very good because the prices are quite different from the marketing on the mall.
01:41It's very reasonable and we can buy all the things.
01:46Hailing from Shah Alam, Yogeswari urged the government to ease housing loan access for
01:51low-income groups.
01:53The richest people only become richest, you understand or not?
01:58So the middle class is going down only.
02:01So on that, the government will help us, it's more easier.
02:06Nolisha Abu Hassan told The Star that the Menu Rahma scheme was a lifesaver for her
02:11during her time at university.
02:13I think that Menu Rahma really helped a lot because as a student we usually don't have
02:20that a lot of money, so Menu Rahma does help us in buying our daily meals.
02:27The 23-year-old highlighted the need to address last-mile connectivity in public transport.
02:34Mohamed Khairul Anwar, from the automotive sector, expressed confidence in the government's
02:39prudent use of taxpayers' money.
02:41I think coming soon is the e-invoice that we need to implement.
02:45So e-invoice deals a lot of transparency.
02:51So far the transparency, if there is no hanky-panky, it's good for you.
02:57Because everything, you cannot play around, everything is open, transparent, whoever also
03:02can check.
03:03That is very honest and transparent transaction.
03:09The 34-year-old also praised the targeted diesel subsidy for protecting local industries.
03:14Better in the future, I think they can control a bit on the foreign business, keep on expanding.
03:24And then we as a Malaysian business owner, SME company, feel very competitive because
03:34some of the policy that is very tight to the overseas people, so they don't 100 percent
03:43protect us.
03:44The three-day anniversary event concluded on Sunday with various activities and giveaways
03:49celebrating the government's milestones.
