Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says holistic education and strong human values are crucial for youth in an AI-driven world, urging them to reject hatred.

KUANTAN: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stressed that holistic education, combined with strong moral grounding and human values, is a crucial foundation to shaping the country’s future generation.

He said that in an increasingly challenging world and driven by technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence (AI), youths must not only excel academically but also possess good character and a strong sense of social awareness.

“What is the meaning of AI if humanity is eroded… we want to uplift human dignity, that’s why I say morals, culture and good relationships among one another are important. Get rid of feelings of hatred and contempt towards each other.

“But remember, not everyone out there thinks the same way. There are still voices that undermine confidence, oppose the truth and harbour hatred towards races, and I want our young people to rise up and oppose them,” he said.

He said this at the ‘Anak Pahang MADANI’ Gathering here today, which was also attended by Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail. 

Also present were Youth and Sports Minister Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari; the Prime Minister’s political secretary, Datuk Ahmad Farhan Fauzi; and Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar.
