PM: RM5bil recovered from graft cases in past year
Flourishing industry: Anwar bottle-feeding a calf at the Perak Farm Fresh dairy complex. Also present is Farm Fresh chief operations officer Azmi Zainal. — Bernama IPOH: Assets and funds worth up to RM5bil have been recovered from corruption cases in the past year, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Prime Minister said these were recovered from ministries, government agencies and politicians. 'There are taunts and cynicism towards the government's hard stance on fighting corruption. 'But over the past year, we have recovered RM4bil to RM5bil in assets and funds seized from corruption cases across ministries, departments, Immigration, Customs and even politicians. 'This is due to our competence and willingness to take action (against corruption). 'This is also only possible with good governance,' he said at the groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase of the RM6.26bil Ipoh Sentral project. On another matter, the Prime Minister expressed hope to see more developments and projects that are in line with the Madani concept. 'Our nation must always be concerned and compassionate towards the people; otherwise, Madani is nothing more than a slogan. 'We need to have aspects that can elevate culture, civilisation and new technologies of the people,' he added. Anwar also hopes to see unique-looking buildings that are suitable for the country's environment, current needs, culture and heritage. 'We want to see Ipoh have a special landmark, with cultural vibrancy rooted in heritage, yet modern and embracing new technologies, digitalisation and artificial intelligence,' he added. At an event earlier, Anwar reaffirmed that those responsible for the death of Form One student Zara Qairina Mahathir will be brought to justice but called on parties not to manipulate the case in ways that create negative perceptions. While giving assurance that no individual will be allowed to escape accountability, the Prime Minister said the case, however, should not resort to insulting specific individuals. 'The police are investigating (the matter), and I have made it clear that it doesn't matter who (is involved); they will be investigated,' he said when launching the Madani Dairy Entrepreneurs Carnival yesterday, Bernama reported. The Prime Minister said the government will continue to support initiatives that strengthen the nation's food security, including the dairy industry. Expressing pride in the achievements of local dairy producer Farm Fresh Bhd, he praised the company for its contribution to the dairy sector, job creation for Malaysians and commitment to corporate social responsibility. Anwar also pointed out that Malaysia's close ties with its regional partners, especially within Asean, have opened up broad opportunities for cooperation in various fields, including agriculture and dairy. He noted that this sector's success is also supported by the readiness of the private sector, the resilience of local entrepreneurs, and the integration of modern technology, including artificial intelligence.
