PUTRAJAYA, Dec 11 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today questions that were posed to him at yesterday’s celebration of his government’s one-year anniversary were unvetted.
The Tambun MP suggested some of the issues that were raised by the audience who attended the closing ceremony where he took questions from the floor yesterday were critical of his administration, and this showed he was opened to criticism.
Anwar has raised the matter at this morning’s monthly meeting with staff of the Prime Minister’s Department here, where he encouraged the civil service to embrace public feedback.
“As I have proposed from the start, we need to have a culture that provides space for criticism and feedback be it in politics or the civil service,” he said.

“For example, yesterday, that (the event) was not something that Zahid planned. When I was there and took questions, they were unvetted and I think this is a good culture,” the prime minister added.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was present at this morning’s assembly.
