SHAH ALAM – The attitude of certain parties, which frequently oppose government efforts and policies must be changed to facilitate the collective restoration and development of the country towards a better future.

Angkatan Muda Keadilan deputy chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim said that some parties habitually criticised government initiatives, despite their potential to alleviate societal issues and enhance national welfare.

“For instance, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said wanting to eradicate poverty in a short time, (we) are trying our best to reduce this extreme poverty issue.

“It should be supported and welcomed by all parties regardless of their political background or others, but unfortunately, there is no positive feedback from each of them.

“If they agree, it seems as if they are giving support to Anwar.

“We are looking for arguments and reasons to deny this approach which can change the current economic situation,” he said during the Wacana Sinar 437th edition entitled ’25 years of PKR: Reformation vs perception’ on Tuesday.

The program, hosted by Ismail Adnan, also featured two other panellists, PKR Workers’ Bureau Chairman Datuk Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Perdana Centre Razak Technology and Informatics Faculty Senior Lecturer Dr Mazlan Ali, which was broadcast live on all Sinar Harian social media platforms.

Kamil added that Anwar himself had proven his democratic attitude by taking an approach in the Prime Minister’s Question Time (PMQ) in the House of Representatives.

He said it had never been done by any Prime Minister before to engage with Members of Parliament.

“Is this not a form of change?

“I know we need to make structural changes, but we must do this wisely, not blindly.

“We need to take care of this ecosystem well so that the government is more stable, strong, and at the same time translate reform ideas into policies that are closer to the people,” he added.
