The Malaysian government, under the Madani administration, has reinstated funding for Islamic religious schools (pondok schools) and rakyat religious schools, which was previously cut by the former government. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the government's commitment to improving these schools to bridge the gap with national schools. He criticized the previous administration for canceling the funding, highlighting the Madani government's efforts to restore it despite being wrongly labeled as oppressive. Additional studies are being conducted to further enhance facilities, especially in underserved areas. The government also expressed support for Sarawak's energy hub and Sabah's blue economy development.
