KUALA LUMPUR: In his statement on Facebook on Saturday (Feb 17), Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the vital role that press secretaries and corporate communication units play as the main government communication machinery. He stressed that their role is crucial in crafting effective communication strategies and narratives to combat slander and deception by certain parties.
The Prime Minister highlighted the importance of countering allegations from irresponsible parties seeking to undermine the government’s efforts to address the people’s issues and restore the dignity of the nation. He emphasized that while the efforts and approaches may not yield immediate results, the people will benefit in the long run.
