KUANTAN – The government will continue with the Aspirasi Keluarga Malaysia (AKM) Tour if given the mandate in the coming 15th general election (GE15), said caretaker prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said the programme will be halted to give way to GE15.
“This may be the last destination before GE15, InshaAllah, if the government is given the opportunity to lead again, the programme will resume after GE15,” he said when speaking at the opening of the Pahang AKM Tour led by the Defence Ministry here today.
Also present were caretaker defence minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali, and caretaker Pahang menteri besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.
The AKM Tour, which began on March 3 in Johor, was then held in Perlis, Sabah, Terengganu, Perak, Kelantan, Sarawak, Selangor, Kedah, Negri Sembilan, and Melaka.
The programme is intended to allow the public in each state to get direct information on the assistance and plans offered by the government.
It is said to be important in spreading information on the government’s continuous efforts to help ease the public’s burden by going to the ground throughout the country.
Cheap sales in conjunction with AKM Tour have been well received in all states involved and small traders, including small and medium entrepreneurs, have been given the opportunity to sell their goods.
Meanwhile, Ismail Sabri, who introduced the Keluarga Malaysia concept upon becoming prime minister, was confident that a family that is always bound by love will boldly face any challenge.
He emphasised that by upholding the spirit of Keluarga Malaysia, not only can the country create political and economic stability, it can also maintain the harmony and prosperity enjoyed by all levels of society.
“Indeed, nothing is more important than taking care of the family,” he said. – Bernama, October 29, 2022
