IPOH: Leaders should not forget the poor and the needy – just like the song Naan Aanaiyittal from superstar MG Ramachandran's (MGR) 1965 film Enga Veettu Pillai reminds us, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

That is why he has vowed to ensure the people are not burdened, the Prime Minister said after the song was played as he visited SJK (T) Klebang near here on Sunday (Jan 29) to witness the Tambun parliamentary constituency's Ponggal celebration.
