Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasized that Malaysia's pursuit of modern technology, including artificial intelligence, must be complemented by integrity, clean governance, and strong personal character. He highlighted that economic and technological progress alone would be insufficient to build a 'MADANI' nation without a foundation rooted in faith, morality, and character.
Anwar stressed that Islam and national development cannot be based solely on slogans or enthusiasm but require knowledge and practice. During a speech at the Maulid Akbar celebration at Masjid Tengah Berapit in Bukit Mertajam, he noted that respect for Malaysia's multiracial society for its leadership is built through honesty, diligence, and a rejection of corruption.
