KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 3 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today hinted that Budget 2027 could include measures to help university students struggling to afford food, saying the government was already looking into the issue.

Addressing thousands of youths at the Youth Economic Forum (YEF) 2026 here, Anwar said the government’s role included improving the quality of education and ensuring students could master Malay while strengthening their command of English and other languages.

“There are university students who say, we want to learn but we are hungry. We focus on it. Later I will announce during the Budget. Can’t announce it all,” he said, drawing loud cheers and applause from the audience.
