PM slams critics, vows to drive reform agenda Posted on 21/12/2024 Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang after the launch of the book ‘Lim Kit Siang: Malaysian First Volume 1 and 2’ in Ipoh, Perak, today. (Bernama pic) IPOH: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to driving the nation’s reform agenda. He also took aim at those who had “kowtowed” to tyrants and corrupt figures before, but now accuse the government of failing to implement reforms over the past two years. “I take issue with them. Some of them said nothing about corruption before. You want us to effect change? I’ve already begun with good governance. “I’ve ensured that no minister or government leader can influence decisions in the tender process. To me, this is very important. “I can’t speak for what happened 10 years ago, but I can assure you that over the past two years, we have neither conceded nor compromised on this,” he said during the launch of the book “Lim Kit Siang: Malaysian First Volume 1 and 2” here today. Anwar attributed the greed and plundering in the country to a fundamentally flawed system under previous administrations, and stressed the need for a strong and united government moving forward. “Now, if we want to sustain our force, then, number one, make sure that we know our mandate is to effect reform, not compromise. “You think after going through hell, back and forth, 10 years in prison, 10 years back and forth, in the courts … you think I have forgotten (the reform agenda)? No,” he said. He called on the public to support the government’s efforts, saying that the more support it received, the quicker reforms could be implemented. “As you’ve seen, actions against big tycoons and billionaires receive very little support, particularly from the elites,” he said.
