BALIK PULAU, Aug 11 — Malaysia will become a great nation in Asia if the Unity Government continues to govern the country for another five years, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said this confidence was based on the Unity Government’s track record of championing issues for various segments of Malaysian society since taking over the country’s administration eight months ago.
“Be it an issue involving padi (subsidy), rubber (smallholders), military houses, civil servant salary, (survival of) fishermen, we are trying to maximise improvement within these eight months.
“Imagine we continue to govern for another five years, Insya-Allah Malaysia will become a great nation in Asia,” he said during a luncheon with the locals at Gulai Kalut Hot Stall here today.
Anwar said the government has various plans lined up for the benefit of the people in the country, including improving the salary scale for private workers.
