PSM has accused Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of attempting to “satiate cronies” with the announcement that the government is examining the distribution of education subsidies to the people.

According to the party’s central committee member Karthiges Rajamanikam, Anwar’s statement that “subsidies in the education sector are currently enjoyed by the elite and the wealthy” was malicious and distorted, as the country’s education, from primary to secondary and vocational levels are currently free for all Malaysians.
