Why? Because they know we are strict. They know we safeguard everything,&#8221; Anwar told the gathering, which was also attended by Pakatan Harapan (PH) Communications director and Communications Minister, Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Prime Minister emphasized that he remains unintimidated by the mounting political pressure. He reiterated that the guiding principle of his administration is to ensure that leadership is never used as a vehicle to acquire land, secure lucrative projects, obtain corporate shares, or accumulate personal wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To underscore this commitment, Anwar highlighted his own record regarding his visits to the state. \u201cI have come to Johor dozens of times. Did I take any land? No. Did I take any projects? No. Did I take any shares? No. We must instil this principle in our elected representatives. If we want a prosperous state, we must uphold integrity,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urging voters to give PH the opportunity to govern Johor, Anwar argued that aligning the state government with the federal administration would allow development initiatives and public assistance programmes to be implemented with maximum efficiency. He pointed out that despite Johor attracting billions of ringgit in development, fundamental issues affecting regular citizens\u2014such as affordable housing, roads, places of worship, and welfare assistance\u2014require far more focused attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDevelopment is progressing, with projects worth billions of ringgit, yet houses remain unaffordable for ordinary people. That is the responsibility of the state government. It has not done enough. Johor is a wealthy state. We do not want only a small group to become rich while the majority of the people remain poor,\u201d Anwar stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addressing long-standing criticisms regarding Pakatan Harapan&#8217;s partnership with DAP, the Prime Minister strongly defended the coalition&#8217;s dynamics. He challenged detractors to review the official Cabinet records of his administration over the past three and a half years, noting that DAP representatives have consistently supported initiatives aimed at uplifting the Malay community and Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have been Prime Minister for three and a half years, and not once have DAP ministers in the Cabinet opposed any programme for the Malays or Islam. You can check the record,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Closing his address, Anwar expressed profound gratitude for the massive turnout in Senggarang, marveling at the dedication of supporters who stood for hours in the oppressive heat to listen to his speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe spirit in Senggarang is extraordinary. Even under the scorching sun, the people were willing to wait. Rarely have I seen such enthusiasm at one of my ceramah despite the heat,\u201d he remarked, before calling on the electorate in Senggarang, Rengit, and Penggaram to cast their ballots decisively for PH candidates in the state election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-NMT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BATU PAHAT, July 5 \u2014 Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar
