KOTA BHARU, Kelantan - Thousands of people flocked to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house held at a stadium in the opposition-ruled state of Kelantan on Friday.
“The government is still not stable yet, as it is new. But I can see that the PM is making efforts towards boosting the economy and he cares for the people,” he said. He also said that the 107 development projects approved for the state this year is the highest figure thus far. The open house – traditionally held at the PM’s official residence in Putrajaya – is one of six that Mr Anwar is throwing this year, in the states that will hold state assembly elections by August.
University of Malaya sociopolitical analyst Awang Azman Pawi told ST that holding the open houses in the three opposition states could be a starting point for the ruling Unity Government to penetrate PAS’ stronghold states, but added that it will require time and effort.“Continuous and high-impact programmes are important to show that the government is taking care of the people’s welfare in opposition states and not just around Putrajaya.
