Plan for the common folk, not just mega projects, says PM
Anwar Ibrahim says about 80% of the people in Kuala Lumpur eat at hawker stalls, roadside eateries and small restaurants, not five-star restaurants.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the importance of development plans that cater to the everyday needs of average Malaysians, not just focusing on the extravagant mega projects that primarily benefit the wealthier segment of the population. He highlighted that Kuala Lumpur's majority of its 80% population frequents food stalls, roadside eateries, and small restaurants, rather than dining at five-star establishments.
At a ceremony marking national landscape day, Anwar stressed that a balanced approach to development planning is crucial to enhance the country's image globally. He commended the Melaka state government and city council for their warm reception, urging that despite differing political affiliations, cooperation between the federal and state governments is necessary for the collective benefit of the people.
