GEORGE TOWN, Jan 23 — Development would be hollow if it came without social justice or recognition of Malaysia’s multiculturalism, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“We do not choose to be Malay, Chinese, Indian, Sabahan or Kadazan, so, we have to accept this as a strength to unite all of us,” he said in his speech at the Penang chief minister’s Chinese New Year Open House event here. He commended Penang for focusing on its economic growth while simultaneously emphasising social justice, especially for the poor and B40.
Penang would not be where it is today had it not prioritised cultivating a clean and just environment without corruption, he explained. “This understanding is clearly detrimental to the country and the people because donation for charity is okay but donation for votes in the general election is corruption,” he said.
