(Bernama pic)KUALA LUMPUR: Anwar Ibrahim says he wants to remain a leader for all Malaysians, rejecting calls for him to embrace Malay dominance to secure his political survival.
He said this in response to narratives from certain quarters claiming that national policies must be aligned with Malay dominance if he wants to remain politically relevant.
“People say, Anwar, you must embrace policies rooted in Malay interests and dominance. Otherwise, you will not survive.”
“My response is that I want to remain a Malaysian leader who loves this country,” he said at the 2026 National Deepavali Celebration at Little India, Brickfields, here.
