Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today called out the actions of certain parties in Malaysia who are stirring conflicts by raising concerns about different ethnic groups in the country celebrating the festivals of other communities. 

Speaking at the Chinese New Year Open House organised by the Perak Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCCI), Anwar instead urged all Malaysians to focus on the nation’s progress and interests rather than issues that could undermine unity.

 

Anwar urged Malaysians not to stir conflicts but instead focus on unity

BERNAMA quoted the Prime Minister as saying that Malaysia has great potential and that there is no need to stir conflicts. Instead, Malaysians should uphold the dignity of all communities.

Anwar asserted,

“Some have raised the issue of Malays celebrating Chinese New Year, Thaipusam – things that have never been a problem for decades are now being made into an issue.”

“But do we want to entertain this or focus on our unity? Do we choose to continue having differences of opinion, or do we strengthen unity? And why unity? To boost our economy,”

However, the Prime Minister didn’t explicitly mention the individuals or parties that have been stirring up these issues.

In his speech, Anwar also lauded Malaysia as among the countries providing significant contributions to its people to tackle the rising cost of living, which he said demonstrated the government’s concern for this global issue.

Among the initiatives include the Rahmah Cash Aid which was increased to RM13 billion this year.
