Buck up, Dr M tells farmers ..HL: ..IN: JI NR.
(From New Straits Times (Malaysia))
KUALA LUMPUR, Sat. - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today farmers should carry out their duty to feed the nation as entrusted to them.
Besides alleviating their own poverty, fulfilling this trust would give farmers a sense of duty towards the country's overall development.
Their vision would not be limited to planting crops for their own consumption, but they would view themselves as stakeholders in the nation's progress.
"When we are given something to do, we do it wholeheartedly and to the best of our ability so it will be successful," Dr Mahathir said when launching the Gerakan Daya Wawasan (Vision and Empowerment Movement), a programme for rural communities, at Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil here.
