PRIME Minister Anwar Ibrahim is confident that the unity government will serve its full term.

While addressing over 100 diplomatic officers today, Anwar appeared unperturbed by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s assertion of being able to topple the current administration.

“Whatever is being said by the PAS president, I’m confident that this coalition will survive until the end of its term,” he said.

Abdul Hadi reportedly said no party would be able to stop Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) plan to topple the unity government. He added that such a practice was considered normal in a democratic country.

Anwar said in order to bring the country to its past glory, Malaysians should uphold good governance and be ready to make changes.

“I’m sending a strong message to Malaysia that we have to chart a different course. We must effect this change, which is extremely necessary to save this country from the mess we have been in.”

“It is not a matter of choice; it is morally imperative,” he said.

Anwar called on the heads of diplomatic missions to do more for the country, saying it was vital for Malaysian officers and diplomats to set an example of what it meant to be a competent leader.

“Why do you serve and observe the principles of good governance where ethics and values are pertinent?

“It is setting the priority to serve the nation, which means you have a duty to encourage people to come as tourists and investors in order to bring light and hope to Malaysians,” he said – Bernama, March 7, 2023.
