University students must adapt to global change quickly
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that quality is of utmost importance as the world moves towards digitalisation, the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), and energy transition, all of which are being extensively discussed in this era.
He also urged students not to view knowledge acquisition as a means to achieve financial glory, but rather to focus on contributing to the nation in line with the MADANI concept.
'Acquisition of knowledge is to disseminate what is just and what is true, that is the challenge - in MADANi framework we talk about value, ethics, human dignity, our role to ensure we have a fair and just society and that is the role of the youth,' he said.
He was speaking at 'Temu Anwar Intitut Pengajian Tinggi Swasta (IPTS)' dialogue at Management and Science University (MSU ) here today.

KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 187,652 individuals with debts not exceeding RM200,000 were cleared of bankruptcy between March 2023 and June this year, the Dewan Rakyat was told today. Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) M. Kulasegaran said this figure included those aged 40 and below. "This achievement is clear proof of the Madani government's commitment to implementing reforms that have a direct impact on the people," he said during the question and answer session in the Dewan Rakyat. Kulasegaran was responding to Rodziah Ismail (PH-Ampang), who had asked for the total number of young people aged below 40 who had been freed from bankruptcy, with debts not exceeding RM200,000, He said, through a strategic and inclusive approach under the Madani agenda, people were not cleared of the burden of debt, but also had their dignity restored and were given fresh hope to rebuild their lives. "The government has high hopes that this second chance will provide them with a renewed lease of life and enable them to carry on with their daily lives, in line with the Malaysia Madani agenda, which emphasises the concept of compassion (ihsan) for all through acts of human empowerment," he said.

Anwar: Cabinet to discuss separating attorney general, public prosecutor roles this month
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has announced that a proposal to separate the roles of the Attorney General (AG) and the Public Prosecutor will be tabled to the Cabinet at the end of this month. He said the move is part of the ongoing legal reform agenda under the MADANI Government, implemented within just two and a half years in office. 'This separation (of the roles) has long been demanded, and the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) will table it to the Cabinet at the end of this month. So, we are seeing encouraging progress,' Anwar said during Minister's Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat today. He said this in reply to Datuk Rosol Wahid (PN-Hulu Terengganu), who had asked which outdated laws were being reviewed or abolished in line with the government's reform agenda, and the timeline for their implementation. Anwar also highlighted that the MADANI Government has so far introduced 23 legal reforms, including two constitutional amendments — one involving citizenship, and the newly passed Parliament Services Act 2025. Among key reforms cited were amendments to the Evidence of Child Witness Act, the enactment of the Public Finance and Fiscal Responsibility Act 2023, the Abolition of Mandatory Death Penalty Act 2023, the Ombudsman Bill 2025, and the Cyber Crime Bill 2025. 'I must emphasise that this record over two and a half years has yet to be matched by any previous administration, including that of the Honourable Member (Rosol),' Anwar said pointedly. The Prime Minister said that five new acts were introduced and 34 acts amended in 2023; another five new acts were enacted and 57 acts amended in 2024; and four new acts have been passed, with six acts amended, along with two new bills and 11 other bills amended so far this year. On the subject of anti-party-hopping laws, Anwar said he had no objection to enhancing or updating the current legislation. He noted that he had previously proposed stronger anti-defection laws during his time as Opposition Leader, but those proposals were not incorporated into the Federal Constitution (Amendment) (No. 3) Act 2022, which currently bars MPs from switching parties. 'So while new proposals are welcome, let's not forget who previously blocked such efforts. It was those on that (formerly government) bloc,' Anwar said. — Bernama
