He highlighted the challenges faced by various groups, including the M40 and B40, Malay and Bumiputera communities, minorities, Sabah and Sarawak, as well as youths, women, persons with disabilities, and workers in different sectors. Anwar emphasized the government's responsibility to ensure that development and prosperity are enjoyed by the people as a whole, while acknowledging that many Malaysians continue to struggle with living costs and that small and medium-sized businesses face cost pressures.",
