KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 (Bernama) — Malaysia has achieved 43 per cent of all 248 indicators of the latest Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), far above the world average of 17 per cent, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, the performance is a sign that Malaysia has successfully faced the challenges through reforms, but it is not a permanent guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen there is a discussion, I say don’t make measurements like that. This achievement gives only a small indication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut we need to ask what are the achievements of MADANI Economy\u2019s ideals and SDGs, something that is necessary for the country and for the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd if the answer is necessary, then we should speedily achieve the best performance. That to me is our benchmark,\u201d he said in his keynote speech while officiating at the SDG Summit 2024 here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, he reaffirmed Malaysia\u2019s commitment to achieving SDGs in the best way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe should do whatever is necessary to ensure that we do achieve these goals most spectacularly because that is a sign of what MADANI is all about,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anwar added that the MADANI government is deeply committed to addressing issues of values, humanity, and compassion, going beyond the current major pillars of the SDGs, which emphasise crucial economic, social, and environmental imperatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m appalled by the fact that we still have leaders who are still proponents of climate denial. With all this level of sophistication, knowledge and understanding, we still have that problem,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said this reminds the country that there are areas and avenues for the nation to always improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Economy, development and sustainability are meaningless if there is no understanding other than what is righteousness and humanity. Justice and security include the environment and climate which we can partly determine and partly accept as a statement of the laws of nature,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, in addition to giving emphasis to the SDG framework, he said the country needs enthusiasm to make changes in line with current demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
