PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says a special gesture of appreciation for the people is expected to be announced on Tuesday (July 22) or Wednesday (July 23).

He said more time is needed to finalise the announcement following the unity government retreat in Port Dickson, Ngeri Sembilan on Sunday (July 20).

"The retreat focused on explaining government policies while also listening to public concerns, which led me to consider certain changes and announcements to help ease these issues.

"I mentioned that I would make an announcement within a day or two (whether in the form of additional measures or otherwise) but it requires some careful review," he said at the Prime Minister's Department monthly assembly here on Monday (July 21).

On July 19, Anwar hinted that that the appreciation package would involve government measures to address the rising cost of living.
