KUALA LUMPUR: Empowerment of the country’s economy must go hand in hand with the empowerment of arts and culture because they are symbols of the nation's integrity, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Speaking at the Ismail Zain Intermediations: Selected Writings on Art and Aesthetics book launch at the National Art Gallery here on Tuesday (April 8), Anwar said the development of civilisation would be hampered without persistent efforts to elevate those aspects.
