KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 19 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today expressed his appreciation to cultural performers and workers for their dedication to supporting various official national programmes.
Through a post on Facebook, Anwar said amid the busy task of managing state affairs, the commitment and hard work of civil servants and support staff, including cultural dancers, musicians and singers, often go unnoticed.
“While waiting for the arrival of Turkmenistan President Serdar Berdimuhamedow at Seri Perdana Complex for a luncheon, I took some time to chat with cultural dancers who were specially trained and brought in from Istana Budaya.
“They told me that for every official state visit, a week is allocated for rehearsals according to the theme set for the event,” he said.
The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude for their contributions and hoped they would continue to create and elevate the nation’s arts and culture.
