PRIME Minister Anwar Ibrahim has slammed the narrative used by certain parties that DAP is the cause of problems among Malays.

Anwar said throughout the eight months of leading the unity government, DAP ministers never objected to any allocations given for Islam and the Malays.

“DAP and (its secretary-general) Anthony Loke are currently in the cabinet and there is no problem, give additional allocation to Islam, he did not object; settle billions of ringgit of Felda debt, he did not object; allocate RM3 billion for poor farmers, he did not object. 

“Malays are in trouble not because of the Chinese, not because of DAP. Don’t fabricate stories,” he said at the “Ramah Mesra Bersama Rakyat Jelajah Madani” programme in Kampung Sawah last night.

Instead, Anwar said past greedy Malay leaders were the cause of various problems, including the country’s current high debt situation.

“The problem of contract doctors, for years they have threatened to strike but when we hold on (to become the government). In two to four months, we can resolve it,” he said. – Bernama, August 2, 2023.
