KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 30 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wants tomorrow's National Day 2024 celebrations to be used to further enhance unity among the people.
He said this is because the independence enjoyed today was achieved through the strength of its people, who were united.
"I want to invite all Malaysians to welcome the independence celebration on the strength of every race that is united, although each has a different opinion. In this beloved country of ours, every citizen must be given protection, shown love and given sufficient defence.
"Is it that simple? No, it's not easy. If there are territories, there will be fragmented politics to find strength, they play on sentiments. My race does not get any rewards… the innocent public is easily swayed by the sentiment of fueling the fire of racism,” he said during the National Day 2024 address here today
Anwar said this to over 7,000 guests, comprising those from various agencies such as civil servants, educators from schools and institutions of higher education, student representative council, police retirees and non-governmental organisations.
