IPOH: The people should focus on what is best for the country rather than constantly looking for issues, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said that some people have an "illness" and are always looking for problems.
"Rather than dwelling on problems, we should focus on what is best for the country," he said.
"Yesterday, I visited a Chinese school. I heard there were issues, so I approved allocations for Chinese national-type secondary schools," he said in his speech at a Chinese New Year open house at SJK(C) Chong Hwa in Kanthan New Village here on Sunday (Feb 15).
"Some will say that I always help Chinese schools," he said.
"I was in Padang Rengas on Saturday and visited a Malay village, where I provided aid to help them repair their homes," he said.
"There are also Indians in the Teluk Intan estates who are not well off, with damaged homes, and we help them as well," he said.
"To be a leader, we must love and take care of everyone. This should be our spirit," he added.
Anwar said that peace is of utmost priority for a country.
"If we fight, no matter how rich our country is, we will be destroyed," he said.
"There are not many countries with multiracial communities that can sit peacefully together, but we can," he said.
"We want to show our community and children that if we want to be developed—with everyone able to earn a living, enjoy an improved economy, and have better education and hospitals—we need to take care of the country," he added.
