(Reuters) - Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is relishing a reunion this weekend at Manchester United with former teammate Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is in interim charge of the Old Trafford side until Ruben Amorim takes over later this month, the Italian said on Friday.

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has dismissed comparisons to “Robin Hood” in his plans to implement subsidy rationalisation involving the T15 high income group, stating that he is simply acting fairly in assisting the lower income groups.

During the tabling of Budget 2025, the government announced the retargeting of RON95 fuel subsidies, which will take effect in the middle of next year. At a dialogue at Universiti Pertahanan Malaysia yesterday, Anwar said Malaysia is among the nations providing the highest subsidies and has one of the lowest tax systems in the world.

On international relations, Anwar emphasised the importance of maintaining diplomatic ties with all parties for the country’s benefit.
