Implement ‘family concept’ at home first, Ramasamy tells PM

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: It is fine to preach to the world about the usefulness of the family concept but Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob must ensure it is implemented in the country first, says a DAP leader.

Penang deputy chief minister P Ramasamy said there are just too many divisive policies and practices in Malaysia that need to be rectified before Ismail brings the concept to the world stage.

“It is perfectly alright for Ismail to preach about the family concept, but he must ensure that it must first be implemented in the country.

“Only then can Ismail preach to the world through the United Nations. Until then, he should focus on bringing about reforms that were promised to the opposition in the Memorandum of Understanding with Pakatan Harapan,” he said in a statement.

In his inaugural speech at the UN General Assembly yesterday, Ismail said that the necessity of togetherness or family is paramount in resolving the problems of the world.

He said that the concept of one global family has its utility in stemming the tide of the Covid-19 pandemic or the problems that are rooted in the glaring economic differences between the wealthy, the middle-income and poor countries.
