Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has urged Melaka voters to prioritize public welfare, youth opportunities, and future development over political rivalries as they prepare for the state election. In his address at the Melaka Rumah Kita grand rally in Paya Rumput, Anwar emphasized the need for leaders who can deliver tangible benefits through education, skills training, and employment.
He urged young people from all communities to acquire competencies in emerging industries like artificial intelligence, information technology, and computing, while also encouraging foreign investments to create jobs and improve livelihoods for locals. Anwar reiterated his commitment to combating corruption and abuse of power, stating that allegations of financial misconduct must be substantiated through legal channels rather than used as mere political accusations.
He cited ongoing investigations by the Royal Malaysia Police, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, and Attorney-General’s Chambers, and highlighted financial controversies linked to 1Malaysia Development Berhad, Lembaga Tabung Haji, and FELDA. Anwar also addressed the RM1 billion annual payments for FELDA and alleged losses of RM10 billion involving Tabung Haji, questioning a RM9 billion China-backed project for its lack of intended results.
He pledged to recover RM5 billion previously lost on the project and invested it in a water supply initiative from Sungai Perak to Penang.
