PM Anwar: Fort Cornwallis reopening teaches history, not colonialism

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has defended his presence at the reopening of Fort Cornwallis in George Town, insisting the restored colonial-era fort serves as a learning tool for future generations. Speaking at the event, he said the site should educate Malaysians about the country’s colonial past rather than be seen as glorifying it. The statement comes amid public debate over the restoration of historical landmarks tied to foreign rule. Anwar stressed that understanding history is crucial for national progress and unity.
