Anwar: Economic and technological progress means little without morality, justice

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has emphasized the importance of morality and justice in Malaysia's development. He stated that economic and technological progress would be meaningless without a strong moral foundation and commitment to justice.

Anwar stressed that Muslims must set a good example for society through good character, integrity, diligence, and by rejecting corruption and wrongdoing. According to him, respect for Muslims should come from the positive values they demonstrate in daily life, such as working diligently, keeping promises, and not abusing positions of trust.

The Prime Minister also highlighted the need for balance in life, prioritizing knowledge, faith, morality, spiritual and physical development, as well as material progress. He said that the development of Malaysia Madani cannot depend solely on policies, economic growth, or technological advancement without a strong foundation of faith, morality, and character.
