PM Anwar Highlights Importance of Excellence, Innovation and Knowledge in Future Leadership

NILAI, July 17 – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has emphasised that strong leadership begins with the attitude of not being easily satisfied with personal achievements, but instead continuously striving to improve oneself and fulfil responsibilities with excellence. Speaking during the “Temu Anwar Bersama Pelajar IPG Kampus Pendidikan Teknik Nilai” dialogue session today, Anwar said the spirit of itqan fil ’amal — carrying out every responsibility and task to the best of one’s ability — should become a guiding principle among educators and future leaders. He said educators are not merely responsible for delivering knowledge, but must also serve as role models who are willing to continue learning, embrace change and enhance their own quality. Anwar noted that in an era of rapid advancements in digital technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and energy transition, teachers and aspiring leaders must be willing to innovate, acquire new skills and adapt teaching approaches to meet current demands. The Prime Minister also expressed confidence that young people possess great potential to lead national transformation, but said this potential can only be realised through strong knowledge, skills development, close collaboration with industries and an unwavering commitment towards excellence. He stressed that a culture of lifelong learning and continuous self-improvement is essential in producing leaders capable of facing future challenges. -- MINUTESMY

Reading Helps Build A More Mature, Thoughtful Society – PM Anwar Ibrahim

KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the practice of reading can help shape a more mature and broad-minded society in facing an increasingly complex world. In a Facebook post, he said books are not only a source of knowledge but also educate society to be more patient in thinking and wiser in making judgements. “Books teach us to be more patient in thought, more mature in judgement and not easily swept away by a culture of condemnation or short-lived sensationalism. “Insya-Allah, tomorrow I will launch the 2026 Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair (PBAKL) as a sign of continued support for the culture of knowledge and reading among the people, particularly the younger generation,” he said. Anwar said he took the opportunity during the Aidiladha holiday yesterday to read several of his favourite books from various fields, including literature, while reflecting on the increasingly challenging times. In a video shared in the post, Anwar also recited poetry from “Dari Derita Bangsa”, related to his struggle and imprisonment in 1999, which also touched on the resilience of his wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, in facing challenges during the Reformasi era. The 43rd PBAKL 2026 will be held from May 29 to June 7 at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur. -- BERNAMA
