MALAYSIA is highly capable of becoming as a powerful nation, Anwar Ibrahim said today.

The prime minister said he has full confidence in the ability of the leaders as well as civil servants to take Malaysia to new heights.

“Looking at the ability of our political leaders, civil servants, I believe Malaysia will be able to rise again on the world stage as a strong and powerful country,” Anwar said today during the launch of the ‘Madani Malaysia’ tagline.

Anwar said work to make Malaysia great again has to start now.

“This country of ours has good potential even though it has declined.”

Anwar today unveiled the new “Malaysia Madani” slogan to guide the country forward.  

Madani is Malay for a civilised society built on sustainability, care and compassion, respect, innovation, prosperity, and trust. The concept reflects the trust between the government and the people facilitated by transparency and cooperation.

Anwar said Malaysia should not longer be to recognised for the wrong reasons.

“We don’t want the name of Malaysia to be tarnished by scandal, racial or religious strife.

“We want Malaysia to be known as a civilised nation that upholds the dignity of its people and is known and respected as a prosperous country, a fair country, a country that rejects any form of tyranny against any person or race.” – January 19, 2023.
