Anwar: Those behind plot to topple govt are daydreamers

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim did not deny the existence of a conspiracy to topple the unity government.

However, he said, the plot did not have any strong basis and described those behind it as daydreamers.

"They will always have their strategies. What is important is Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional, Gabungan Parti Sarawak, and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah's clear commitment to the government.

"We focus on our work," he said after the 2023 Labour Day celebration at Putrajaya International Convention Centre here, today.

Anwar had asked for all sides to not entertain the daydreamers as they were "doing their job".

"If he (conspirator) does not have a conspiracy, what will he do? It means that he is doing his job with monthly strategies."

On a separate matter, Anwar said the suggestion to increase the Employee Provident Fund contribution rate on the employers' side was yet to be referred to the Cabinet.

"It will be discussed first because a decision on policies can affect the government, employers, and Malaysians."

The Union Network International-Malaysia Labour Centre yesterday in a statement suggested raising the employer's contribution rate of the EPF from 13 to 20 per cent and reviewing the mandatory retirement age.
