Anwar: The problem is leaders without principles, not DAP

In Alor Gajah, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim made a statement regarding Malaysia's political landscape. While he acknowledged that the DAP party was not the root cause of the issue, he emphasized that the primary concern was the absence of Malay leaders with strong principles and integrity. Anwar argued that leaders should be evaluated based on their character, honesty, and commitment to serving the people, rather than their ethnicity.

The prime minister stated that Malay leaders of good character do exist, particularly in Melaka, including among younger individuals. He urged voters to select leaders who possess integrity, avoid corruption, and maintain a strong sense of values, even when they acquire power. Anwar highlighted the importance of unity among different communities for national stability, but cautioned against overlooking political principles and the interests of the Malay community.

He urged voters to consider a candidate's track record and credibility over racial sentiments employed in political contests. Anwar specifically asked for young, principled leaders to be given the opportunity to steer the state's future.
