GEORGE TOWN – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim reminded the people that the majority of underlying problems afflicting them today were not created by his administration.
“Given the time, we will resolve the issues…but we must point out that the issues were inherited,” he said.
From dividing the country through race and religion to economic issues coupled with rising living costs and corruption, Anwar pointed out that such major issues are long-standing ones.
Addressing some 5,000 students and staffers at Universiti Sains Malaysia, Anwar told the young undergraduates that it will soon be their time to fight the wrongs and relics of corruption left over by the previous administration.
He urged the youth to read more books so they can make informed choices and cannot be easily manipulated.
‘Give us three years’
Answering various queries from the students, Anwar said that he plans to resolve the contract doctor issue within the next three years.
“We cannot do it at once, as it will cost billions. It takes time so we will need three years to complete the task.”
He also said that the Public Service Department (PSD) will continue to hire doctors, dentists and pharmacists.
It will also allow PSD scholars to work overseas after completing their studies to gain exposure and experience before returning to serve the nation. – The Vibes, June 11, 2023
