KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has brushed aside concerns over a string of looming elections, saying that his focus remains on governing the country and delivering results to the people.
"Why... do I look worried? I am just focusing on my job. The problem is some people do not think about these things.
"They should be focusing on their jobs," he told reporters at the Energy Transition Conference 2026 (ETCon26) here on Thursday (June 4).
