  "account": "Perdana Menteri Anwar Ibrahim has cautioned that development prioritising economic growth and mega projects without considering the needs of ordinary citizens risks sparking public anger. In Kuala Lumpur, Anwar warned that development should not solely focus on building impressive structures, but also take into account community needs, environmental sustainability, and quality of life. He stated that the focus should be on development, growth, and construction, but failing to understand community needs would only invite public anger. Anwar also cautioned against adopting foreign city models, such as those of London and New York, without considering Malaysia's climate, environment, and national importance. He questioned the rationale behind making Kuala Lumpur a global city like London or New York, given the stark differences in climate, environment, and importance. Anwar emphasized Malaysia's need to move towards locally developed technology and self-reliance in manufacturing, innovation, and commerce. He stressed that Malaysia should not merely import and use foreign technology. Anwar urged closer collaboration between government, industry players, and technology partners to ensure local contractors, especially small and medium enterprises, are not left behind in the construction industry transformation. Meanwhile, Labour Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi stressed the importance of nurturing local talent, encouraging young people to pursue careers in construction and upgrading their technical skills. He said the ICW initiative provides an opportunity for young people to showcase their abilities and contribute new ideas to the industry. Linggi also said the Labour Ministry will continue to work closely with government agencies and industry stakeholders to address challenges related to productivity, quality, environment, technology, and workforce development.",
