Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamed today said the government is committed to rehabilitating the country and liberating it from corruption and abuse of power.
He said this in his congratulatory speech at the investiture ceremony of federal awards and honours in conjunction with the official birthday of Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah at Istana Negara here. As such, he said the government had drawn up various strategies at both national and international levels in its bid to overcome all the challenges.
Meanwhile, Mahathir said the 62nd National day celebration on Aug 31 with the theme ‘Sayangi Malaysiaku: Malaysia Bersih’ had brought the unity and solidarity of the multi-racial people in the country into prominence. “The people are more mature now in facing threats to unity. The government, however, will continue strengthening national unity and discharging its duties to preserve racial harmony,” he said.
