00:00Prime Minister Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim has extended his appreciation to all parties who

00:07helped ensure the Turun-Anwar rally in Kuala Lumpur proceeded peacefully and without incident.

00:14In a Facebook post on Saturday evening, Anwar said criticism and differing opinions should

00:19not be viewed as hostility, but rather as the lifeblood of a mature, progressive and

00:24sovereign nation.

00:26He expressed heartfelt thanks to the security personnel, including police, firefighters,

00:32medical teams and volunteers, who acted with agility, discipline and dedication to maintain

00:37public safety and order.

00:40Anwar reaffirmed his commitment to democratic principles, including freedom of speech, and

00:45said his administration upholds this through initiatives such as the Prime Minister's

00:50Question Time in Parliament, where MPs are free to pose questions directly

00:56to him.

00:57He urged the public to continue pressing their elected members of parliament to actively

01:01attend and participate in all parliamentary sessions, especially PMQT, as part of fostering

01:09a stronger democratic culture.

01:12The Prime Minister also invited rally participants to return to Kuala Lumpur in the future, not

01:18for protests, but to explore the city's historical landmarks, including the Sultan Abdul Samad building

01:25at Dataran Merdeka, which is currently undergoing conservation work.
