KUALA LUMPUR: The agriculture sector needs to be developed in tandem with efforts to drive the country’s economic growth to ensure that the farmers are not left behind.
PKR President Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in developing the sector, the needs and problems faced by the farmers have to be identified for appropriate action to be taken, thus enabling the sector to thrive.

As such, he said, government leaders need to go down to the field to address the problems faced by the group to ensure that matters are discussed at the government level.
“We, in the Government, have to provide solutions, not to make excuses. People are tired of hearing about things. We have to come up with the alternatives, if we have given them the opportunity and space, but if it still doesn’t work then we can talk to them,” he said in his speech at the ‘Jalinan Mesra Peladang 2019’ programme, here, Saturday.
Meanwhile, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) members were on Sunday told to propagate a political culture that is based on competition of ideas, instead of tussle for power, to provide a better life for the people.
Its President Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said focusing on the country’s development, without being steered by the right attitude, would lead to power abuse and corruption which eventually would lead to greed among party members.

He said the right attitude among PKR members could create a healthy political culture that would spark various ideas to form a strong government, together with other parties in Pakatan Harapan (PH), to help the people.
