X user calling Madani gov’t “Robin Hood” for taxing the rich, giving to the poor

THE Madani government has received a number of criticisms from opposition supporters. However, there is still strong support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as many feel there are many accomplishments from his government.

Some users observed that the government is trying its level best to reduce poverty rates in the country.

Other than that, the government’s efforts to help the Malaysian people are reflective of their economic plans.

According to Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, the primary focus of the unity government in 2024 is to enhance Malaysia’s economy by attracting both local and foreign investments. 

Anwar emphasised this during the year’s inaugural Cabinet meeting. Streamlining GLICs (government-linked investment companies) was highlighted to bolster growth, prioritising swift approval for investments without compromising standards.

An X user made a bold statement stating that the Madani government is a form of Robin Hood.

Ekonomi Madani adalah ekonomi Robin Hood. They tax the rich and give it to the poor. The rich might not like it. But the poor dont realize it.

(Madani’s economy is like Robin Hood’s economy. They tax the rich and give it to the poor. The rich may not like it, but the poor may not realise it.)

Seemingly, other X users agree with this statement, as they too feel that Anwar is prioritising helping the oppressed and the underprivileged in Malaysia.

PMX betul2 nak bela golongan yg tertindas dan miskin. Tapi sedihnya golongan2 ni yg paling tak suka dkt dia disebabkan politik fitnah dan menghina oleh pemimpin2 mrk. Walhal, Anwar tu lah sepatutnya pemimpin yg mrk patut sanjung kalau nak improve kualiti hidup. Berat dugaannya 😂

(PMX really wants to defend the oppressed and the poor. But sadly, these groups are the ones who dislike him the most due to political slander and insults by their leaders. Meanwhile, Anwar is the leader they should admire if they want to improve their quality of life. Heavy is the burden of his challenges.)

Others state that there is a growing number of middle-class individuals complaining about how they feel their lives are not affected that much by the Madani policies.

Especially M40. Byk kenalan aku complain zaman Madani ni mcm tak ada apa2 perubahan. Nothing. Jawapan aku, ya kita mmg tak akan sedar atau rasa apa2 perubahan. Focus madani untuk bantu miskin tegar. Kau cukup makan 2-3 kali sehari. teruskan hidup. Ramai yg 2-3 hari sekali makan

(Especially M40. Many of my acquaintances complain that there is no change in the Madani era. Nothing. My answer is, yes, we may not realise or feel any changes. The focus of Madani is to help the poor. You can eat two to three times a day, continue living. Many are eating every two to three days.) – Jan 7, 2023
