KUALA LUMPUR: The government under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim remains steadfast in its commitment to prioritising the people’s interests by focusing on economic recovery, strengthening national unity and ensuring political stability.
Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Deputy Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan said the Madani government’s approach was not limited to short-term gains but was framed with a long-term vision to guarantee the well-being of all Malaysians, regardless of race or background.
“We can see how the prime minister consistently puts the people first.
“In terms of the economy, various initiatives have been introduced to stimulate growth, stabilise the cost of living and ensure fair job opportunities for all,” said Ramanan, who is also PKR vice-president.
He said this after officiating a casual engagement session with nearly 400 students of SMK Subang Bestari at Help University today.
Ramanan said recent announcements under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), alongside efforts to strengthen micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), is clear evidence that the government is serious about driving post-pandemic economic recovery amid global uncertainties.
On unity, he described the Malaysia Madani concept as a crucial foundation in bringing together the country’s multiracial and multi-religious society.
“Unity is not just a slogan. It is translated through inclusive policies, fair distribution of assistance and continued support for all communities.
Ramanan added that the political stability achieved through the cooperation within the unity government must be preserved for the continuity of national development.
“No development can be achieved if the nation’s politics remain unstable.
“What we have today is a stable government led by an experienced leader who is willing to make tough decisions for the good of the people,” he said.
He said the public must not be swayed by negative narratives aimed at causing unease and division.
“The people must be wise in their judgment. Under the Madani government, welfare is protected, economic opportunities are expanding and the nation is on the right track.
“This is not the time for narrow politics, but the time to unite and build a better future,” he said.
Ramanan also urged Malaysians to continue placing their trust in Anwar‘s leadership, which he said was grounded in integrity, inclusivity and courage in defending the people’s interests.
