Anwar calls for stronger federal–state coordination to tackle global economic risks

KUCHING — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has underscored the importance of readiness at both the federal and state levels in facing growing global economic uncertainties, particularly in light of the latest tariff moves by the United States.

He said this during a special Sarawak State Development Meeting he chaired at Wisma Bapa Malaysia here today.

“All planning must be swiftly translated into implementation to strengthen the country’s internal economic resilience against any external shocks or actions that may disrupt our stability,” he said in a Facebook post.

Present at the meeting were Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, and other key leaders from both federal and state governments.
