KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim expressed his satisfaction with the performance shown by government agencies during his eight-month administration.

Taking the example of Amanah Raya Bhd (AmanahRaya), Anwar said the agency under the Finance Ministry had displayed good performance under his management.

“I have almost completed eight months in the government, heading the nation…and I am proud that I looked and searched every agency, and monitored closely if there were any deficiencies and leaks, especially on a large scale.

“Thank God, so far, AmanahRaya’s performance is good…I hope this spirit is maintained, as the responsibility is not only placed on the shoulders of the leaders, but the entire machinery should ensure its (AmanahRaya) clean record,” he said. 

He was speaking at the 100th AmanahRaya anniversary and the launch of its special 100th anniversary logo at Bukit Kiara today.

Anwar also stressed that AmanahRaya has a heavy responsibility in holding the trust of the underprivileged, such as the poor, those with disabilities, and orphans. 

He said this is because if they do not shoulder the responsibility for such groups well, it is considered a betrayal of religion.

In this regard, Anwar wants all parties to be ready with him to carry out a paradigm shift in the effort to uphold the nation’s dignity.

He said the change for the better is a matter demanded by Islam while leaving the bad aspects which are destructive to the country.

He said all parties should be ready to accept the fact that the world is changing, which requires several new measures with continued positive features, apart from leaving negative and destructive elements behind. 

“In this context, there should be change, which must come from the noble conscience and soul,” he said. – Bernama, August 25, 2023
