"I am confident that our government is stable. Because of this stability, we want to use it fully to implement programmes to raise the dignity of our country," he added, as reported by Bernama.
Anwar said that policies that benefit all will be continued, but added that the approach will be different
"That's why, for example, we don't continue with direct negotiations to avoid confusion and misuse," he added.
Anwar said this in his speech at the monthly assembly with staff of the Prime Minister’s department on Monday (Jan 8), which was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof and other ministers.
Aside from Fadillah, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Dr Zaliha Mustafa were among the attendees.
Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali was also in attendance.
Regarding the Central Database Hub (PADU) which was launched on Jan 2, Anwar said the government will make several improvements based on the views given by thge public.
PADU contains individual and household profiles of citizens and permanent residents in Malaysia; it is an integrated national socio-economic database that combines data from government departments and agencies to provide a fair picture of the socio-economic position of every Malaysian household.
