He attributes his success in previous ministerial roles to the support he received from civil servants.
Anwar said, “We must restore the image of the public service, which has been tarnished. This can only be done through change.”
He also called for citizens to forget the laxity and carelessness of the past and look forward to the future.
Comparing his tenacity to the experience these civil servants hold, he said it does not even come close. He stressed that he benefited greatly from listening to their ideas.
He additionally called for future ministers to respect the process as he wants to ensure the civil service remains a strong pillar of their society.
The Star also reported on Anwar’s stance on the practices of the former government.
Anwar apparently said the government’s procurement process must undergo the correct SOPs.
This change will ensure that corruption and financial leakages will no longer continue.
Anwar also brought up his past reign as a Finance Minister in the 90s in which he prohibited family members or close families from getting priority in government-approved projects.
