Annuar said he hoped the meeting would help provide interesting ideas. “I want to hear their ideas. I’m not capable of solving this by myself… I’m not Superman. If there are people with good ideas who can help, we invite them,” he said.
Annuar, who is communications and multimedia minister, said he was not against demonstrations as Malaysia is a democratic country.

On Friday, about 100 people took part in a protest organised by Amanah at Kampung Baru in Kuala Lumpur over the rising cost of goods.
Among those at the event were the party’s vice-president Adly Zahari, secretary-general Hatta Ramli and communications director Khalid Samad.
Two of the 10 organisers were summoned for questioning by police yesterday with the remaining eight to provide their statements tomorrow.-FMT
