What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Anwar Ibrahim addressed the Transport Ministry on October 14, 2026, where the first batch of financial aid was distributed to drivers. The aid provided RM1,000 to approximately 38,000 taxi and hire car drivers and 15,000 school bus drivers. During the event, Anwar also sought to persuade Anthony Loke to remain in his ministerial post, arguing that principled leaders should not be removed.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The distribution of RM1,000 aid to thousands of drivers, funded by RM91.2 million raised from special H-series registration bids, represents a significant government expenditure. Furthermore, Anwar's public appeal regarding ministerial appointments touches on the stability and leadership direction of the government.
