Dr M: Power given not for self-interest

Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today reminded the government and members of the administration that the power bestowed on them was for them to perform their duties and not for their self-benefit or interest.

Speaking at the monthly assembly with the staff of the Prime Minister’s Department in Putrajaya today, he said if power was to be abused, the country would not progress and cause a moral decline in the society.
