Nga presents 'Rise Up Together' sculpture to Anwar for 78th birthday
KUALA LUMPUR: Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming presented a specially commissioned sculpture titled "Rise Up Together" to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in celebration of his 78th birthday today. Nga, who is also the president of the United Nations-Habitat Assembly, said the sculpture, which was customised during his official visit to Nairobi, Kenya, for the UN-Habitat General Assembly, symbolises national unity and harmony amidst Malaysia's diversity. "The artwork represents the strength and unity of Malaysians of all races and religions standing together as one, reflecting the core vision of the Malaysia Madani government to unite the nation and lead it to greater heights," he said in a statement here. Nga, who is also DAP deputy chairman, said the Madani administration under Anwar's leadership has successfully brought political stability over the past two years, ending a period of uncertainty marked by three prime ministers in just four years. "With a growing economy, a strengthening ringgit, and significant improvements in our global competitiveness ranking, Malaysia is on the right track. It is crucial that we continue to safeguard unity and harmony to ensure lasting peace and progress," he said. Nga also noted that Malaysia's standing on the international stage has been reinforced, citing the Prime Minister's recent role in mediating a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia, which was widely praised by world leaders. "Under Malaysia Madani, our diverse communities can become more united, prosperous, and progressive. The Prime Minister not only champions inclusivity at home but also showcases Malaysia's leadership globally. "I am confident that under his leadership, we will realise the vision of 'Rise Up Together' and establish Malaysia as a model nation of harmony," he added.
