 The prime minister calls on everyone to urge their MPs to attend and take part in the Prime Minister’s Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said he remains consistent in his belief in democracy and freedom of speech and criticism.PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has reminded his political opponents to continue discussing and raising their concerns to him in Parliament, not only on the streets, following the Turun Anwar rally held today in the city centre
In a Facebook post this evening, he said he remains consistent as prime minister in his belief in democracy and freedom of speech and criticism.
“Criticism and differences of opinion should not be viewed through the lens of opposition, but should grow to become the national heartbeat of a mature, progressive and sovereign citizenry.
“We champion this principle at the Prime Minister’s Question Time in Parliament, where MPs are free to raise their criticisms directly to me as prime minister. I call on everyone to urge your MPs to continue attending and actively participating in all parliamentary sessions, particularly PMQT,” he said.
About 18,000 people took part in today’s rally, according to police, although the rally organisers, PAS Youth, claimed a tally of over 200,000 participants.
PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan said the turnout was a vote of no confidence against Anwar, and called on him to resign instead of waiting for a confidence motion against him in the Dewan Rakyat.
Anwar also thanked the security and medical personnel from the police and fire department, as well as volunteers, for doing their duty at the rally.
He wished the rally’s participants safe travels back to their hometowns, and reminded them not to forget to return to visit Kuala Lumpur and its historical landmarks in the future.
“These landmarks around the city centre are now being restored at a large scale so we can improve our tourism, especially for Visit Malaysia Year 2026,” he said. - FMT
