Ilmu sahaja tak cukup, Anwar seru Gen Z bina kekuatan dalaman tolak rasuah

Perdana Menteri Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim has urged the Generation Z (Gen Z) to understand that high levels of education do not guarantee a person's ability to resist corruption. The Prime Minister emphasized that university students should not only focus on academic excellence but also build inner strength and self-respect to avoid falling prey to misuse of power.

Anwar pointed out that the recent scandals involving 1MDB, Felda, and Tabung Haji involved well-educated individuals, indicating that education alone cannot ensure noble character and personality.

He called upon the young generation to rise with fresh enthusiasm and heightened awareness. Anwar stressed that a willingness to serve the nation, a love for good, aversion to corruption, and a dislike for wrongdoing should be present in the hearts of the youth. He believes that such qualities must be ingrained in the hearts of the young.

Anwar emphasized that while reaching for the heavens is important, it is equally crucial to establish roots on earth. These roots comprise faith, morality, and integrity, personal character, and self-identity. Inner strength and self-awareness are vital to ensure that individuals remain steadfast in their principles amidst pressure and temptation. The Prime Minister also urged the student body to better understand the issues affecting the community.

Furthermore, Anwar canceled almost all weekend events to focus on the 2027 Budget preparation. He highlighted that the budget considers various requests from across the nation, including sectors like agriculture, fisheries, Orang Asli communities, and communities in Sabah and Sarawak. "The Budget involves all requests and wishes of the people, thousands of associations, hundreds of departments, and dozens of ministries. All of it is reasonable," Anwar concluded.
