Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said efforts intended to empower the Indian community must prioritise quality education, comprehensive welfare, skills development and better employment opportunities.
In a Facebook post yesterday, Anwar said he emphasised these priorities during a meeting with Indian community leaders.
Anwar, who is also the country’s Finance Minister, urged the Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit (MITRA) and all related agencies to develop more proactive approaches at the grassroots level.
“I also reminded MITRA and all related agencies to continue engaging with the community, identify its actual needs on the ground and ensure that every initiative implemented benefits those who truly need it,” he added.
Anwar noted that an approach guided by compassion, accountability and good governance was essential to ensure that no segment of society was left behind in the nation’s development.
He concluded that such an approach would also ensure all Malaysians had a fair opportunity to build a better future.
