Anwar emphasized that the government's approach is not solely focused on headline figures and strategic sectors, but also on addressing the everyday needs of various groups, including pet owners, persons with disabilities, gig workers, and food and goods delivery riders. The aim is to ease the burden on the people and provide a comfortable, fair life for everyone, while also considering the challenges faced by rural communities, such as padi farmers and fishermen.",
