KUALA TERENGGANU, Aug 9 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sees an awakening among the people in Terengganu after having held several rounds of political talks in the state.
He said the support is different from what the Opposition received through their political rallies as they only know how to use Quranic verses to attack the government.
"They (the Opposition) recite verses of the Quran. But when I asked them (what it meant), they did not know. They interpreted it on their own. It does not mean that if you can read the Quran you can interpret it (in a manner that allows you) to attack people.
"It's not about the party, what is good is fine. This is the problem we're facing. All the attacks and slander are outrageous," he said at the Madani Unity Tour political rally in Hiliran here tonight.
He added that the Opposition also claimed they were a 'clean' coalition of parties and it is unfortunate that some people believe such
Anwar said what is even more worrying is that youth are easily influenced by slogans and chants of “Hidup Melayu” and “kalimah Allahuakbar”, but behind the slogans and chants the Opposition leaders are mere dreamers.
"Please save this state. If he is corrupt, he steals, it doesn't matter which party he is in, you cannot trust him."
He said he also accepts and agrees with the fact that there are parties who say that the Pakatan Harapan (Harapan)-Barisan Nasional (BN) government is still not satisfactory.
"There is a lot of debt, new investments have come in. We are doing our best... For the Opposition it is only ‘empty drums making the most noise’, they have no projects. On the other hand, we will carefully implement good suggestions."
The prime minister then reminded the people to make the right choice so as not let the voters to be ruled by leaders who fail to implement development initiatives properly and with speed.
" PAS and Bersatu have three years, what did they do?"
At the end of the ceramah session, the prime minister was surprised by the singing of “Allah Selamatkan Kamu” by all present in conjunction with his birthday on August 10.
