Pkr Veep Stresses Mission To Secure Anwar S Second Term As Pm

PKR vice-president Chang Lih Kang has emphasised the significant challenges ahead for the party, particularly the mission to secure a second term for its president, Anwar Ibrahim, as prime minister.
ADSIn a Facebook post last night, Chang (above) called on all party members to unite and forge ahead following the conclusion of the party election.
“A great task awaits us all - to strengthen PKR at every level, to win more seats in the upcoming state elections, and to ensure a major victory in the 16th general election, in order to uphold the people’s mandate and retain Anwar Ibrahim as the prime minister of Malaysia for a second term,” he wrote.
Re-elected as vice-president, Chang reminded party members that electoral wins and losses are part of the democratic process.
“No leader will abandon this struggle simply because the election results did not favour them. What matters is that the party is responsible for conducting a transparent, fair, and trustworthy election process.
“This is not about individuals. This is about the future of the party, the nation, and I am committed to continuing to work and fighting for it,” he added.
This year’s party election witnessed Anwar’s daughter Nurul Izzah unseating Rafizi Ramli as PKR deputy president - a result that drew accusations of nepotism and internal discontent.
Party polls turmoil
The electoral process itself was not without criticism, as the polls were marred by allegations of irregularities and money politics.
Amid the turmoil, observers voiced concern that PKR - once a symbol of resistance and democratic reform - has strayed from its foundational ideals.
Forged in the fires of the reformasi movement, the party was built on principles of justice, accountability, and a commitment to challenge authoritarianism. Today, critics argue, those principles appear increasingly compromised by political expediency and dynastic politics.
Following his defeat, Rafizi, who is expected to resign as economy minister, stressed that government posts are not essential for reform, pointing out that lasting change must come from society itself.
He also noted that PKR’s reform ideals are not dependent on Anwar, as leaders come and go. - Mkini
