DEPUTY Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof called on all parties to maintain political stability because it has a significant impact on efforts to restore the country’s economy.

Speaking in a press conference after officiating at the Palm Biodiesel Conference in Putrajaya today, he said investors will only come if the country has a clear national policy and strategy, as well as political stability.

The plantation and commodities minister called on all political parties to provide constructive views on how to improve the economy, including attracting foreign investors to the country.

“My advice and hope are, regardless of one’s political affiliation… whenever you want to debate and be political, make sure it is based on development.

“If we keep changing governments, investors will definitely not come,” he said when asked to comment on Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s statement yesterday that some parties were unhappy and wanted to break up the unity government because they were jealous of the coalition’s strength.

Anwar, who is also Pakatan Harapan chairman, said this in his speech at the Ceramah Mega Perpaduan Madani at Dataran Simpang Pelangai yesterday. – Bernama, October 3, 2023.
