Unity Gov't working hard to improve living standards - Anwar

KUALA NERANG - The Unity Government is currently undertaking major efforts to raise the standards of living of the people, including padi farmers, rubber tappers and fishermen, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.

In this regard, the prime minister urged the people of Kedah to give Unity Government parties that opportunity by voting them in as the new state government.

"What’s the point of all this political talk? Yes, it’s true... to take care of the Malays, Siamese, Chinese and Indians... but what is more important is to raise the income of the people. I will not be proud of being the Prime Minister if I end up doing nothing to help the poor,” he said at the Jelajah Perpaduan MADANI ceramah in Naka here today.

The state chairmen of Kedah Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH), Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid and Datuk Mahfuz Omar were also present.

Anwar said to enable development plans to run smoothly, including for foreign investments to come in, there must be good ties between both the state and federal governments.

"...I am asking that such an opportunity be given for the state government to have better cooperation with its federal counterpart for the benefit of the people. - BERNAMA
