Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has rejected claims that his administration has neglected the urban poor in their efforts to improve living standards. Speaking in Kuala Lumpur, he contended that the government remains committed to safeguarding the welfare and rights of disadvantaged city dwellers.
Anwar pointed to the Bukit Kiara development initiative as concrete evidence of the government's dedication to addressing the needs of vulnerable urban populations. The project, he maintained, demonstrates the administration's unwavering resolve to advance the interests of lower-income city residents.
The Prime Minister's remarks came amid ongoing discussions about urban development and housing accessibility for Malaysia's poorest communities. His comments underscore the government's position that it continues to prioritize social protection while pursuing economic growth and modernization efforts.
