Kuala lumpur: The MADANI government will continue to listen to the voices of all segments of society, including fishermen, farmers, factory workers, small traders, and youth, not just the voices behind political microphones on rally stages, said the Prime Minister’s senior political secretary Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Shamsul Iskandar emphasized that under the leadership of the MADANI government, the people are allowed to gather, but their voices must not be exploited, and democracy must not be held hostage in the name of vengeance and power struggles. He stated that Malaysia MADANI respects the right to assemble and express opinions, ensuring that no harsh action is taken, no tear gas is fired, and no stages are destroyed. The people’s right to speak is protected.
Shamsul Iskandar highlighted a significant difference between the people’s voice and the political agendas of certain parties who are attempting to drag the people into validating their lust for power. He underscored the government’s commitment to democratic principles and discouraged actions that manipulate public sentiments for political gains.
He further advised that the government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is built upon an electoral mandate. He urged Perikatan Nasional chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and his coalition partners to return to the electoral arena if they believe that public sentiment has shifted, rather than resorting to street rallies, inflating crowd numbers, or manipulating racial and religious issues to provoke emotions.
