PM slams critics, vows to drive nation's reform agenda

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to driving the nation’s reform agenda.
He also criticised individuals who “kowtow” to tyrants and corrupt figures before but now accuse the government of failing to implement reforms over the past two years.
“I take issue with them. Some of them said nothing about corruption before. You want us to effect change? I’ve already begun with good governance.
“I’ve ensured that no minister or government leader can influence decisions in the tender process. To me, this is very important.
“I can’t speak for what happened 10 years ago but I can assure you that over the past two years, we have neither conceded nor compromised on this,” he said during the launch of the book “Lim Kit Siang: Malaysian First Volume 1 and 2” today.
Anwar attributed the greed and plundering in the country to a fundamentally flawed system under previous administrations.
He also stressed the importance of the current government being strong and united, warning that failure could result in a return to racial and religious bigotry.
“Now, if we want to sustain our force, then, number one, make sure that we know that our mandate is to effect reform, not compromise… You think after going through hell, back and forth, 10 years in prison, 10 years back and forth, courts, you think I have forgotten (the reform agenda)? No.
“So, bear with us and support our efforts. The stronger the support, the faster we can implement reforms. As you’ve seen, actions against big tycoons and billionaires receive very little support, particularly from the elites,” he said.
Anwar said the government remains steadfast in its reform agenda and urged the people to trust and rally behind these efforts.

What is your reform agenda PM Sir? In PH manifesto issued before last GE you had promised : Fighting corruption?But ZH was appointed Dy PM and had his 40 over chrges withdrawn after defence was already called.; Addendum regarding House arrest for Najib- You had gone to see Tuanku about it ; Rosmah acquitted of corruption charges etc. Also had promised: To make Judiciary independent but until today you have sole authority to recommend appointmdnt of Judges and apoointed Terriruddin straight as FC Judge. To separate AG and SG posts but today they are under you To make MACC indepdndent and answerable to Parliament but until today it is under you. To reduce taxes on goods but instead have increased them. To reduce price of petrol but instead you reduced subsidy on oil. Etc. But there was nothing in your manifesto about introducing islamaisation but you have done following: - Introduced teaching of 40 Hadis in schools -Placing of Jakim officers in Govt departments& Ministries. - Introduced Mufti Bill which is clearly unconstitutional. - Introducing Bill for power of Shariah Courts - Etc. Thus there are no reforms introduced which were promised in your manifesto but instead you are introducing legislation towards islamaisation which was not in your manifesto. This means you misled the people with your manifesto and once won election turned against the people who had supported you.
