KUALA LUMPUR – The “haprak” (useless) perception of someone becoming a politician or a prime minister to amass wealth must be dispelled, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The prime minister said his aggressive stance against corruption and bad governance is to combat the stigma that one could get rich by becoming seeking elected office.

“This ‘haprak’ notion of ‘what’s the point of becoming a prime minister if you don’t get rich’ must be countered. And we are responsible for this. Not just politicians, but the entire system. We must all be held accountable, including myself.

“Even without political support, I hope that, at least, the people would fully support the issue of governance and demand for change,” said Anwar, during the Global Intellectual Discourse 2024 event at Universiti Malaya today.

Anwar added that the Madani government does not need monuments, but wants public funds to be used for the people’s benefit, such as basic amenities, schools and so on.

Also in attendance were Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, and UM vice-chancellor Datuk Seri Noor Azuan Abu Osman.

Previously, Anwar said the government would strengthen efforts to boost foreign investor confidence by guaranteeing good governance and a corrupt-free Malaysia. – January 22, 2024
