THE opposition is envious of the achievements made by the unity government in its seven-month administration, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said.

He said although the government is still new, there is no denying the success of the initiatives implemented to help the people.

Fahmi, who is also Pakatan Harapan communications director, said because of the success, the opposition had no capital to attack the government but instead harped on negative sentiments including touching on race, religion and royalty.

“The success we can see now is that our inflation rate continues to decrease and now stands at 2.4%.

“According to the Statistics Department, the communications sector recorded a decrease in inflation for internet prices, which dropped to negative 3.6%, meaning internet prices are getting cheaper,” he said at the Jelajah Perpaduan in Semenyih, Kajang last night.

Fahmi said some stubborn opposition leaders continue to touch on negative sentiments or the 3R issue.

“Despite various reminders regarding campaigning ethics to all parties, including social media users, some are still playing up such issues,” he said.

As such, he reminded all parties, especially party leaders, to always be sensitive to and respect the laws and ethics of campaigning. – Bernama, August 2, 2023.
