Differences of opinion between ministries do not necessarily mean there are cracks in the government, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

According to him, the government ensures effective inter-ministerial coordination to maintain policy consistency, prevent overlapping functions, and ensure that decisions reflect public interests and fiscal capacity.

“The government wishes to emphasise that differences of opinion or approach between ministries do not necessarily reflect a split in the government.

“On the contrary, it is part of the process of discussion and policy consideration that takes into account their respective responsibilities, jurisdiction, and priorities,” he said in a written reply in the Dewan Rakyat.
