Why it matters
This admission reflects a broader political challenge in Malaysia regarding the disconnect between government economic data and the public's lived experience of inflation and cost-of-living issues.
AYER KEROH: Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil has apologised to PKR members for the Federal Government not being able to adequately communicate its achievements and policies to the public, saying emotions can sometimes outweigh performance.
The PKR information chief acknowledged that many policy successes under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had not been sufficiently understood or felt by the people.
“I would like to take this opportunity, as the Information chief, to apologise to all delegates, representatives and leaders for our shortcomings in communication and information dissemination.
“My team and I have been listening. Many feel that the government’s achievements and policy successes under our party president have not been sufficiently understood or felt by the majority of the people,” he said.
