KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has reiterated that he will not interfere in commercial decisions to uphold market integrity, underscoring his administration’s commitment to maintaining transparency and professionalism in Malaysia’s corporate and economic landscape.
Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said business decision should be driven by merit, efficiency, and market realities rather than political influence.
"I do not interfere in commercial decisions, and none of my Cabinet colleagues should.
"Yes, we support new technology, green initiatives, and welfare programmes, but we do not interfere in protecting personal or vested interests. The commercial decision is entirely yours," he said during a conversation session at the Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) Knowledge Forum 2025 here, today.
Meanwhile, Anwar said the government has introduced several key policy measures to strengthen domestic investments, including initiatives such as the Gear-Up programme, while realigning major institutions like PNB and Khazanah Nasional Bhd with their core objectives to drive sustainable national growth.
He also stressed the importance of staying true to their core aspirations and improving governance standards.
The Prime Minister added that while monitoring progress remains part of his responsibility, their hard work and strong commitment in implementing the reforms effectively have been commendable.
