CIVIL society organisation G25 extends New Year wishes to Malaysians for a happy, harmonious and prosperous 2024.
Remaining committed to its role, G25 will continue to support the government in its efforts to develop the country towards becoming one of the most successful among developing nations, with the ultimate aim of achieving developed nation status.
We aspire for our country to be free from corruption, injustice and disharmony. To achieve this goal, we must endeavour to make tangible moves, such as ensuring the strengthening, independence and transparency of our key institutions of governance to help keep the social malaise in check.
We hope the country’s leaders will prioritise these endeavours, enabling a robust democracy and further advancing Malaysia in upholding human rights and individual freedoms.
Increased confidence in our institutions of governance will bode well for the confidence in our economy.
We look forward to the progress of the government’s 2024 plans, especially those related to the economy and Masyarakat Madani, and how they will contribute to the improvement of Malaysians across all segments of society.
As part of this anticipation, we hope for increased transparency and proactivity from the government in its interactions with the public on matters of public interest, including but not limited to initiatives addressing poverty eradication and the bridging of income inequality.
In 2024, we would also like to see greater emphasis towards improving and strengthening our education system to respond to the disruptions caused by the pandemic, and to address the myriad global challenges facing the world.
We urge the government to engage different stakeholders before making any significant decisions which may affect our children’s education.
Elevating the standard of education, which includes instilling critical thinking and proficiency in the English language within our national schools, is essential. This will equip our children to meet the demands of the future global and technological workspace, contributing to higher education, employability and the overall future of the nation.
In anticipation of the transformation in the coming years, G25 looks forward to a more prosperous, united and harmonious nation under the enlightened and benign rule of the 17th Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, based on the fundamental principles of constitutional monarchy as enshrined in our Constitution.
We are hopeful that the changes will further strengthen our country as a multiracial, multireligious and multicultural society.
We are confident in the shared resolution of the Malaysian people whose wish is to live in a happy and peaceful nation that proudly upholds the principles of tolerance and peaceful co-existence with all races.
