SHAH ALAM: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that no country can achieve development and stability if there are constant clashes between races and religions.

Speaking at the 18th DAP National Congress at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC) in Section 15, here, today, Anwar said that the approach of the MADANI Government, together with DAP, is to elevate the nation’s dignity and strengthen institutions, governance and democratic accountability.

He added that the government requires the support and participation of communities from various races, and cannot merely follow the pace set by other countries.

“Where in the world is there a country that can progress and remain stable, while conflicts and clashes between races and religions persist? There is none. But we do have a choice.

“I would like to thank my friends in DAP for making the same choice as we did in PKR, Amanah, and now UPKO. Additionally, our friends in UMNO, GPS, and GRS are now offering support based on the principle that the country must stay firmly on the right track,” he said.
