Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar said he will not obstruct the 'People’s Anti-Corruption' rally scheduled for tomorrow and emphasized that the government he leads is committed to combating corruption at all levels.
He stated that Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution had given his approval a few days ago, but rally participants must comply with regulations set by the Home Ministry.
"Approval has been given... It's just that certain rally locations have not been approved. For me, it's not an issue. If you want to oppose corruption, go ahead and do it!"
He made this comment to reporters after attending the Friday prayer at the Islamic Center of University of Technology MARA in Seri Kembangan.
Anwar stressed that the corruption issues raised by the rally must be based on facts and current developments, rather than focusing solely on past issues. After all, in his two years in office, he has already addressed some of these issues.
He said he is committed to fighting domestic corruption and that if anyone finds any leaders involved in corruption, they must report it to him so he can take action against these corrupt individuals.
"This is also what I emphasized earlier in the cabinet meeting. Here, you are reopening old issues that were settled during their time (the previous government). So, what action do you want me to take? Some have raised the issue of Tun Musa Aman, the former Chief Minister of Sabah, but he was acquitted during their previous administration.
"When I was in office, when the Anti-Corruption Commission reopened the case files, they said they couldn't proceed. So, what should I do? Should I be blamed for something I was not involved in?"
Nevertheless, Anwar guarantees that during his administration, no party involved in corruption, whether from the top or bottom, will be tolerated.
