KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 26 (Bernama) -- Economic growth and a strengthening ringgit have created a feel-good atmosphere among the people, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The UMNO president said economic stability is crucial in sustaining harmony in a nation, including Malaysia.
“This positive development serves as a catalyst for the people to remain united and support the aspirations of the MADANI Government. As part of the MADANI Government, we must preserve this spirit of harmony, and this diversity must be upheld collectively to ensure Malaysia remains peaceful,” he said when speaking at UMNO's breaking-of-fast event here today.
Also present were UMNO deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, other senior UMNO leaders, as well as leaders of Barisan Nasional.
Yesterday, the Department of Statistics Malaysia said Malaysia’s economy is expected to remain resilient in the second quarter of 2026, supported by the performance of the Leading Index for December 2025, which recorded a marginal increase of 0.1 percentage point to 114.0 points compared with 113.9 points in the same period the previous year.
At the event, Ahmad Zahid also presented contributions to 50 orphans and tahfiz students from Rumah Anak Yatim Shifa, Rumah Titian Kaseh and Akademi Tahfiz Masjid Lapangan Terbang Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Subang.
