Anwar says Cabinet consensus provides stability for govt to plan, implement policies

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has reported strong cooperation among Cabinet members, contributing to Malaysia's political stability and enabling the government to effectively plan and implement its development agenda.

Despite occasional disparities in social media narratives, the stability and consensus are seen as pivotal for advancing national interests.

Anwar cautioned against complacency, urging continued efforts to improve government performance.

Additionally, the Malaysian economy showed promising growth, expanding by 6% in the second quarter of 2026, exceeding expectations and indicating a solid trajectory towards achieving the government's annual growth targets.

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 8 — Cooperation and consensus among members of the Cabinet are, as a whole, at a good level, thereby contributing to the country’s political stability, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said this had enabled the government to plan and implement the country’s development agenda based on clear policies and a stable political environment.

“True, we cannot deny that our performance has been commendable because we have clear policies, political stability and cooperation within the Cabinet, although sometimes on social media it is a little different.

“But in terms of cooperation, we generally have good consensus and this provides an indication of stability and allows us to plan for the country,” he said when delivering his address during his meeting with the staff of the Ministry of Plantations and Commodities here today.

Anwar said the existing stability must be leveraged by the government to continue planning and implementing policies that benefit the country and the people as a whole.

At the same time, the Prime Minister reminded all parties not to become complacent with the achievements attained, but instead to continue striving to improve the government’s performance.

He said commendable achievements should not cause the government to “become complacent and bask in the comfort of success”, but should instead serve as an encouragement to continue working hard for the national interest.

“It’s true, it cannot be denied, our performance is commendable because of our clear policies, our political stability and the cooperation within the ministries, although sometimes on social media things are a little different,” he said.

Meanwhile, Anwar said that economic growth in the second quarter of this year also recorded a better performance than expected despite facing challenges.

Malaysia is reported to have continued to record stronger-than-expected performance for three consecutive quarters, growing by six per cent in the second quarter of 2026 compared with 5.4 per cent recorded in the previous quarter.

This was the strongest second-quarter performance outside the pandemic period since 2014.

The second quarter 2026 performance brought the country’s first-half 2026 growth to 5.7 per cent, thus placing the Malaysian economy on a solid footing to achieve the government’s projected growth of between 4.0 per cent and 5.0 per cent for 2026. — Bernama

马来西亚总理拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣表示，内阁成员之间合作密切，这有助于马来西亚的政治稳定，并使政府能够有效地规划和实施其发展议程。

尽管社交媒体上的论述偶尔存在分歧，但稳定和共识被视为推进国家利益的关键。

安华告诫人们不要自满，敦促继续努力提高政府绩效。

此外，马来西亚经济也展现出良好的增长势头，2026 年第二季度增长了 6%，超出预期，表明其正朝着实现政府年度增长目标稳步迈进。

布城，9月8日讯——首相拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣表示，内阁成员之间的合作与共识总体上处于良好水平，从而有助于国家的政治稳定。

他表示，这使得政府能够在明确的政策和稳定的政治环境下规划和实施国家发展议程。

“的确，我们不能否认我们的表现值得称赞，因为我们有明确的政策、政治稳定和内阁内部的合作，尽管有时在社交媒体上情况略有不同。

“但在合作方面，我们总体上达成了良好的共识，这表明局势稳定，也使我们能够为国家制定计划，”他在今天与种植园和商品部工作人员会面时发表讲话时说道。

安华表示，政府必须利用现有的稳定形势，继续制定和实施有利于国家和全体人民的政策。

与此同时，总理提醒各方不要对已取得的成就感到自满，而应继续努力提高政府的绩效。

他表示，取得的值得称赞的成就不应使政府“变得自满，沉浸在成功的舒适区中”，而应激励政府继续为国家利益努力工作。

“的确，这一点毋庸置疑，我们的表现值得称赞，这得益于我们明确的政策、政治稳定以及各部委之间的合作，尽管有时在社交媒体上情况会有所不同，”他说。

与此同时，安华表示，尽管面临挑战，但今年第二季度的经济增长也好于预期。

据报道，马来西亚经济连续三个季度表现强于预期，2026 年第二季度增长 6%，而上一季度增长 5.4%。

这是自 2014 年以来，疫情期间以来表现最强劲的第二季度。

2026年第二季度的经济表现使该国2026年上半年的增长率达到5.7%，从而为马来西亚经济实现政府预测的2026年4.0%至5.0%的增长目标奠定了坚实的基础。——马新社
