Anwar wants to be remembered as a loving leader for all Malaysians

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim expressed his desire to be remembered as a leader who genuinely cared for all Malaysians, irrespective of their race, once he retires from public service. Speaking at a dinner event in Johor Bahru, Anwar stated that his commitment extends to serving the entire populace, not just the Malay community.

“

I, as Prime Minister, must serve everyone, because 'I must show I love my people.'

"I, as Prime Minister, must serve everyone, because 'I must show I love my people.' I am not young anymore; when I retire, people will ask about me. Malays, Chinese, Indians, those from Sabah and Sarawak will say Anwar loved his people, and his people loved him," he said. This sentiment, he explained, drives his dedication to upholding Malaysia's good name and ensuring the nation's continued progress, development, and prosperity for all its citizens.

Anwar also pointed to Malaysia's current stability and peace as key factors attracting foreign investment, with data centers set to be established in Johor, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan, and Melaka. He stressed the importance of unity between the federal government and state administrations for effective governance, contrasting it with potential internal conflicts. "We want all states to succeed. If the states and the federal government are in sync, work is easy. This is not the case; I say a little and they want to quarrel. I am not here in Johor to quarrel," he remarked.

The Prime Minister further noted Malaysia's positive reception on the international stage, with leaders and communities from the United States, China, Europe, and Arab nations viewing the country favorably. He urged citizens to vote wisely in the upcoming elections, emphasizing that the nation's current performance is strong. "Now I have the opportunity to care for the states, care for the country. So I hope friends, on polling day, vote wisely because our country's performance is quite good right now," he concluded.
