KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 — As Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim took the podium to deliver his much-anticipated Budget 2024 speech, Malaysians were in for a surprise.
First up was the venerable Chinese philosopher Mencius, who’s also affectionately known as “Master Meng” or Mengzi.In a move that left many impressed, Anwar invoked the spirit of this 4th century BC thinker, whose importance in the Confucian tradition is second only to Confucius himself. These four pillars of Mengzi, according to the prime minister, are the moral foundation that Malaysia needs.It was almost as if Anwar was suggesting that if we all had a little more Mengzi in our lives, we could transform the government into a bureaucracy-free haven and eradicate systemic corruption.
