Anwar: Some quarters exploit racial issues to divert attention from corruption
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has criticised certain groups for exploiting racial issues to divert public attention from fraud and corruption.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has expressed concern that certain groups are exploiting racial issues to deflect public scrutiny from instances of fraud and corruption in Malaysia. These individuals often invoke the importance of racial survival while simultaneously concealing instances of fraud and corruption. Despite many of these individuals being among the wealthiest in society, they claim to fight for the survival of their respective races.
In reality, their primary goal is to enrich themselves and their families, according to the Prime Minister. This was stated during a national-level Deepavali celebration at Little India, Brickfields, where Anwar was joined by several government ministers including National Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang, Deputy R. Yuneswaran, Human Resources Minister R. Ramanan, Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, and Malaysian Associated Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry president Datuk Seri N. Gobalakrishnan.
