PETALING JAYA:

 Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has hit out at voices in the country that seek to “oppose the truth and harbour hatred for other races”, and called on the nation’s youth to stand up against them.

He said technological advancements such as artificial intelligence (AI) are meaningless without strong character and social awareness among young people.

“What is the meaning of AI if humanity is eroded? We want to uplift human dignity. That’s why I say morals, culture and good relations are important. Get rid of hatred and contempt for each other.

“But remember that not everyone thinks the same way. There are voices that seek to undermine confidence, oppose the truth and harbour hatred towards other races. I want our youth to rise up against them,” Bernama reported him as saying at a ceramah in Kuantan today.

Anwar stressed that holistic education, combined with strong moral grounding, is crucial to shaping the country’s youth. - FMT
