'Turun Anwar' Rally Proves Opposition Running Out Of Ideas

Barnama5 days ago
KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (Bernama) -- The 'Turun Anwar' rally this Saturday is the culmination of Perikatan Nasional (PN)'s mental block to present ideas as an alternative to the alleged accusation that the "government has failed to manage the economy".
Political Secretary to Finance Minister Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim said current figures and reports showed that the country's economy is recovering and growing consistently, thus burying their baseless claims.
"Growth, inflation, unemployment rates, investment volumes are being demonised because of hatred and greed.
"This is clear evidence of how they have failed to argue and propose alternatives to the various good policies that we have translated," said the Angkatan Muda Keadlilan (AMK) chief in a tweet on X today.
He said while the country's leaders are working hard to develop the country, the opposition has chosen the path of fighting, and even to this day they have failed to present a candidate to replace Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
However, Muhammad Kamil said the MADANI government upholds freedom, especially to assemble peacefully, while informing that the prime minister has given assurances that there will be no intimidation from the authorities.
"However, demonstrating just to hate Anwar Ibrahim physically shows how weak, shallow and inept their politics are in the face of our agility in translating the wishes and desires of the people now," said Kamil.

ASEAN as global peace model affirmed by Malaysia and Brunei

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia and Brunei have voiced strong confidence in ASEAN's ability to remain a leading example of diplomacy and global peace. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim highlighted this during a phone discussion with Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah following his arrival at the ASEAN Secretariat Building in Jakarta. 'We touched on ASEAN as well as talking about efforts to reconcile Thailand and Cambodia, which agreed to unconditionally stop all forms of violence yesterday. 'God willing, we are confident that ASEAN will continue to be a model region in promoting diplomacy and global peace,' Anwar shared in a Facebook post. The breakthrough follows a special ASEAN meeting chaired by Anwar in Putrajaya, where Thailand and Cambodia agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire to de-escalate border tensions. The meeting saw the participation of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai. Key international stakeholders, including US Ambassador to Malaysia Edgard Kagan and Chinese Ambassador Ouyang Yujing, also attended. The US co-organised the session, while China observed in support of a peaceful resolution. The longstanding border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia spans 817 kilometres, with tensions escalating since late May after clashes near Preah Vihear claimed a Cambodian soldier's life. Renewed skirmishes on July 24 further strained relations before the ceasefire agreement. Anwar later proceeded to Jakarta for the 13th Annual Consultation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. – Bernama
