SEREMBAN, June 21 — Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has reaffirmed that leadership is a responsibility to serve the people sincerely, stressing that the nation’s real challenges stem from corruption, abuse of power, and those who seek to sow division among Malaysians.
Speaking after attending the Rimbunan Hati Dinner Ceremony organised by the Five Generations Organization (PLG) Malaysia in Seremban on Saturday night, Anwar reflected on his recent overseas engagements and his continued commitment to safeguarding the country’s future.
The Prime Minister said he had recently concluded official visits to Russia and Turkmenistan, where he held a series of important meetings aimed at strengthening Malaysia’s long-term interests, particularly in the energy sector amid growing global uncertainties and challenges.
Despite returning to Malaysia at approximately 3.30 am, Anwar immediately resumed his official duties in Penang before travelling to Seremban for the event.
“Exhaustion is nothing compared to the trust placed upon us to ensure our children inherit a peaceful, stable country and a better future,” he said.
Anwar also underscored the importance of integrity and public service, noting that leadership should never be driven by status or personal pride.
“I believe leadership is not about position or pride. It is a responsibility to serve sincerely, care for the interests of the people, and do the best for the sake of our beloved country,” he said.
Addressing issues of national unity, the Prime Minister stressed that Malaysia’s true challenges are not differences in race or religion but corruption, moral decay, and efforts to incite hatred and racism.
He said Malaysia’s greatest strength lies in the ability of its diverse communities to live in harmony, respect one another, and work together toward a shared future.
Anwar also expressed his appreciation to long-time friends and supporters who have remained steadfast throughout his political journey, thanking them for their friendship, prayers, and unwavering support.
He expressed hope that the spirit of ukhuwah, or brotherhood, would continue to strengthen collective efforts in serving religion, the nation, and Malaysia.
