Gov’t views Merdeka Centre’s survey from positive angle, says Fahmi

KUALA LUMPUR: The government takes note of the Merdeka Centre’s survey on the one-year administration of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and views it from a positive angle, with efforts to address issues, including economic concerns, being taken, says the Communications and Digital Minister.

Fahmi Fadzil (pic) said the government acknowledges the survey’s findings, which he described as a “snapshot” of that particular period.

“As the Prime Minister mentioned at the one-year celebration of the Unity Government in Putrajaya on Nov 23, next year, the government will focus on economic development, including improving people’s incomes.

“With the Madani Economy policy, the 2030 New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP), efforts to combat corruption and to improve government administration, including facilitating business and investment, economic growth direction is on the right track,” he said in a statement.

Fahmi, the Unity Government’s spokesman, was responding to media reports citing Merdeka Centre’s survey stating that Anwar’s personal approval ratings had slipped to 50 per cent.

In his response on Friday (Nov 24), Anwar said he took note of the matter while also adding that the findings were based on 1,200 respondents, which was not reflective of Malaysia’s 32 million population.
