'We are not running away from our manifesto'
- 5 years ago
Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah responded to criticisms that the Harapan government has failed to fulfil many of its election promises despite being in power for over a year.
He pointed out that a committee chaired by Liew Chin Tong of DAP was recently formed to see how the coalition can best fulfil its promises.
Saifuddin also reiterated that when Harapan came up with its manifesto, it did not have access to full figures – meaning that adjustments now need to be made to some of the small projects.
"I won’t deny the fact that we have problems and even when people accuse us of making U-turns, I won't argue. We have our issues.
"But the big ones, the fundamentals, (are ongoing)," Saifuddin said.
