Malaysia's unity government coalition, including Barisan Nasional, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah, and Gabungan Parti Sarawak, will remain intact until the end of its term scheduled before February 17, 2028, supporting Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's administration [1, 2, 3, 4]. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil affirmed the coalition partners' commitment, stating, "Barisan Nasional, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah and Gabungan Parti Sarawak have given their commitment that they will support this government till the end of its term" [4].

Prime Minister Anwar stressed the role of education beyond mere knowledge transmission. Speaking at a Teachers' Day celebration in Ipoh on May 16, he said, "If education comes out of students without compassion, morality and spirit to serve society, then what is the meaning of education?" He emphasized that education must cultivate character, morals, empathy, and social responsibility alongside intellectual growth [5, 6, 7, 8]. Anwar added, "Without values and adab (etiquette), development will only result in progress that has lost its direction" [7].

He urged education influencers active on social media to maintain ethical standards and factual clarity to positively impact society. "They should set a good example so that influencers among educators become a platform for improvement, including in matters related to morals and conduct," Anwar said [9]. He also acknowledged challenges faced by teachers, noting, "Teachers appear to be burdened. There are always issues. Social problems inevitably affect students in schools and naturally cause disruption," and encouraged them to remain resilient and positive [8].

The government plans to review and increase the education budget this year to support digitalization and investments in artificial intelligence. It encourages private enterprises to participate in the "adopt a school" program, targeting 200 schools to be registered by end of June to improve facilities with corporate support [5].

On economic and cost-of-living matters, Anwar announced plans to raise the subsidised Budi Madani RON95 petrol quota for delivery riders from 200 litres to 250 litres per month, to be discussed at the National Economic Action Council [10]. The government will maintain the monthly Budi Madani Diesel subsidy of RM300, plus an additional RM100 interim aid to eligible recipients to ease financial pressure [11]. Over 398,000 vehicles are registered under the Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS), including more than 375,500 land goods transport vehicles and about 23,000 public transport vehicles [11].

In agriculture, the government has begun disbursing RM300 per hectare under the Ploughing Incentive for Padi Farmers (IPKP) to support farming costs [11].

On May 21, Anwar met with around 300 members of the Chinese community in Tambun to discuss local school concerns and the impact of the global energy crisis on fuel subsidies [12].

Malaysia's next general election must be held by February 17, 2028, marking the deadline for the current government mandate [2, 3].
