A PKR assemblyperson has lauded Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for appointing R Ramanan as human resources minister and R Yuvaneswaran as deputy minister for national unity, saying the move recognises the voice, aspirations, and contributions of the Indian community.

Dr Gunaraj George thanked Anwar, who is also PKR president, for listening to the concerns and appeals of the Indian community, particularly the need for a full minister of Indian descent who is able to speak Tamil within the cabinet.
