‘Unity fuels govt strength'
For the people: Anwar being greeted warmly by attendees of the 'kenduri rakyat' during the government administration and parliamentarians' retreat at Dataran Kampung Pachitan in Port Dickson. — Bernama PORT DICKSON: The government is strong because it adheres to the principles and spirit of unity among its coalition partners, as well as their shared commitment to developing the country, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Prime Minister acknowledged that while each party within the government may hold different beliefs and stances, their unity and cooperation remain exemplary. 'Although we are a coalition of parties, the spirit to develop the country makes the cooperation and spirit extraordinary. 'I want to thank Deputy Prime Ministers (Datuk Seri Dr) Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (of Barisan Nasional), (Datuk Seri) Fadillah Yusof (Gabungan Parti Sarawak) and all other colleagues for their unwavering unity spirit,' he said. The Prime Minister said this at the Kenduri Rakyat programme held in conjunction with the government administration and parliamentarians' retreat at Dataran Kampung Pachitan yesterday. He said the retreat, attended by 143 MPs, is a testament to the government's commitment to ensure the well-being of the people and that their problems were heard and resolved. The government, he said, also remained steadfast in ensuring the country continues to prosper. 'This is a special occasion as we have the PM, both deputy prime ministers and several Cabinet ministers in a village where we discussed issues faced by the people and how best we can resolve them. 'From the macro economy perspective, our economic growth is good with low inflation and unemployment. 'However, I am fully aware there are people who still face hardship. Let me assure you the government is here to hear you out,' he said. The lawmakers took part in the three-day retreat where they personally interacted with the people during several activities. The programme aims to foster closer ties between the elected representatives and the people in a more relaxed environment. It also seeks to allow them to engage directly with the people and offer them a platform to voice their needs and concerns. Anwar gave his assurance that his administration would always hear out the grassroots before making any decision. When met at the event, Fadillah said this was the first time that members of the government's administration and MPs from across the country have come together for a kenduri rakyat (people's feast). Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail described the programme as a meaningful experience that allowed him to connect with residents, gain insights into their daily activities and explore the area's economic potential. The Backbenchers Club said the programme was a manifestation of principles that celebrate the values of compassion, mutual respect and unity within society. 'This is an example of the value of ihsan (compassion) and social responsibility, which are the pillars of the Malaysia Madani philosophy,' it said in a statement.

Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said the initiative continues to receive strong public support, particularly with its expansion to all regions nationwide, including suburban and rural areas. He said that apart from providing immediate relief, the programme also serves as a valuable platform for the ministry to engage directly with communities to obtain feedback, including suggestions for improvements and additional stock preferences. 'The community has acknowledged that this programme truly reaches the grassroots and fulfils their daily needs. 'As we know, the allocation for the Rahmah Sales Programme has also been increased. So we hope that the 2026 Budget will further expand the programme's reach so that more people can benefit from it,' he told Bernama. He said this during a visit to the Madani Rahmah Sales and Kenduri Rakyat programmes in Kg Pachitan here, held in conjunction with the Madani Ukhwah programme and the Madani government MPs retreat. In addition to Kg Pachitan, Armizan said the programme was also held at Petanque Field, offering various types of goods at discounted prices. He noted that public feedback efforts were further enhanced during the two-day retreat, where MPs engaged directly with residents to gain deeper insight into their everyday struggles. 'This initiative goes beyond simply selling affordable goods... it reflects how policy is shaped around the real needs of the people. That's why the active participation of MPs is crucial in representing the voices of their communities,' he added. Armizan also said the Rahmah Madani Sales programme includes collaboration with the retail sector as a strategic partner, involving supermarkets and grocery stores to ensure its benefits are more widely felt.
