KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the unity government under his leadership will continue to push for reforms and uphold good governance.
In a post on his Facebook page, the Prime Minister, who is also the PKR president, acknowledged that the nation's journey to eradicate corruption is still a long one, as the issue has become systemic and deeply rooted at all levels.
Since its establishment after the 15th General Election, Anwar said the federal administration has prioritised improving governance, emphasising that being appointed as prime minister or minister is not an opportunity to accumulate wealth for oneself or one's family.
"I will not stop reiterating this reminder, even though there are parties, particularly in the opposition, who become agitated and irritated every time they hear the word 'governance'," he said.
The unity government, he said, has helped the country to achieve political stability that enabled the federal administration to set clear policies on industry, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, green technology, and semiconductors.
"It is now our (members of the Cabinet) duty to communicate these policies to the public," he said.
On a separate matter, Anwar said during the Perak PKR Convention yesterday, he reminded party members not to lose themselves in power.
"Many of our friends who prevailed in the party's struggle—sacrificing while battling hardship, enduring prison or life on the streets—have stumbled once they reached positions of power.
"As such, I urge my friends to remember that the foundation of our mission is to correct wrongs (within the system), ensuring that power is a responsibility and a trust that should be carried out with sincerity and honesty," he said.
