KUALA LUMPUR, 21 February- The Cabinet needs to be open to criticism and address any shortcomings within the government.

Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, in a Facebook post, also reminded the Cabinet of the need for strong unity and solidarity to function as a true MADANI Government that truly upholds the voice and aspirations of the people.

“I emphasised that the current era, including the geopolitical situation and technology, demanded that any government move swiftly and adapt to remain relevant and function effectively for all levels of society," he said in his post.

Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, delivered this message during a two-day MADANI Government Retreat 2025 in Bangi, Selangor, in an effort to ensure the continuity of planning that had been arranged to move smoothly.

The retreat also provided an opportunity for synergy among Cabinet members to improve, present fresh ideas, and strategise initiatives, particularly for the well-being of the people and the nation’s economic progress.
