Government Committed to Justice for All Malaysians - PM Anwar

PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia), Aug 20 (Bernama) -- Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Wednesday reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring that justice is upheld for all Malaysians, regardless of whether they are from the majority or minority ethnic groups.

While addressing the Ministry of Finance monthly assembly, Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said every approach implemented must be fair by taking into consideration the people’s needs and, as such, the government will continue to listen to and examine all views through ongoing dialogue.

“… if we want to save the country, we must ensure justice for the majority and the minority. We do not want the tyranny of the majority, we do not want the tyranny of the minority. The approach must be fairer.

“Whatever weaknesses (there are), we will improve in the budget (Budget 2026). We are listening to all views, we will make adjustments and improvements in the coming budget. What we are doing now is not necessarily perfect, there are shortcomings. That’s why the dialogue must continue,” he said.

Anwar also explained that the government’s allocation is distributed fairly to all segments of society through a transparent approach, without marginalising any ethnic group.
