According to BERNAMA News Agency, Anwar called on all parties, including the private sector and the community, to continue supporting this effort to ensure that the journey of these young talents to the global stage, such as the 2026 World Music Contest, can be realized. He emphasized that initiatives like this are not merely about music but about building a legacy of a generation that is courageous, cultured, and competitive on the global stage.

In a gesture of support, Anwar announced a contribution of RM100,000 to the orchestra during the 'Winds of Glory: AM:PM Amir Masdi and SP Winds in Concert'.
