PM: Madani govt strong due to unity among coalition partners

 

The Madani government is strong because it adheres to the principles and spirit of unity among its coalition partners, as well as their shared commitment to developing the country, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

He acknowledged that while each party within the government may hold different beliefs and stances, their unity and cooperation remain exemplary.

“Alhamdulillah, although we are a coalition of parties with different stances and beliefs, the spirit to develop the country makes the cooperation extraordinary.

“I want to thank Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (BN chairperson), Fadillah Yusof (Gabungan Parti Sarawak) and all other colleagues for their unwavering spirit of unity,” he said.

The prime minister said this at the Kenduri Rakyat programme held in conjunction with the Madani ukhuwah programme and the Madani Government Administration and Parliamentarians’ Retreat in Kampung Pachitan in Port Dickson today.

Over 100 members of the cabinet and government MPs also attended, including Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil and Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar and Port Dickson MP Aminuddin Harun.

The programme is an effort to build bonds of unity between leaders and the people in a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere filled with a sense of togetherness.

Caring govt

Anwar further said that the government that was formed is a caring government that continues to listen to and understand the voice of the people.

He said that although the country’s macroeconomic performance has shown encouraging growth with increased investment and a drop in the unemployment rate, the government must not take lightly the challenges still felt by the people at the grassroots level.

“In terms of the macro economy, we are seeing improved performance - investment is rising, unemployment is declining. But I know there are still difficulties on the ground.

“That’s why the government we are building is a caring one… We must listen to the voice of the people, don’t abandon the norm, don’t ignore the grassroots,” added the premier. - Mkini
