Stay the course, focus on reforms: former MP

[superadmin]

GEORGE TOWN – Former Klang MP Charles Santiago has implored the national unity coalition to stay the course on reforms and restructuring the economy despite the losses the bloc suffered following the conclusion of the six state elections.  

With certain quarters implying that the Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim-led national unity government should focus on the far-right-leaning electorate, Santiago said that on the contrary, the economy and the Madani virtues need to be prioritised instead. 

“Once the rollout of policies to reform the economy including eradicating institutionalised corruption begins to reverberate, the people will enjoy the benefits.”

“The poll results sting – but it’s important that we do not pander to the right wing.

“We need to focus on the economy – creating jobs and business opportunities. We should bring down prices and institutionalised support for single mothers to bring back the Malay voters.”
