PM Anwar seeks people's backing in efforts to uphold good governance, fight graft

[superadmin]

PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wants the people to continue to support the government’s efforts to bring about changes in governance and its war against corruption. 

Anwar said he needs the full support of the people to combat these issues, especially since he is aware that the efforts taken are disliked by certain quarters.

He said some quarters, when talking about the theft of tens of billions of ringgit, believe that those with high positions such as a prime minister, finance minister and minister must commensurate with great wealth.

“(They say) why become a prime minister if you don't become wealthy?”

“This tasteless, rubbish view must be opposed and the responsible ones must not only consist of politicians (but those from) the entire system. All of us must shoulder that responsibility, and that includes me.
