Accept ‘bitter reality’ about reforms, PKR Youth chief tells party
Kamil Munim says championing reforms while in government is not the same as doing so in the opposition.
PKR Youth chief Kamil Munim implored his party to confront the "bitter reality" of the need for political reform. The PKR Youth chief urged the party to acknowledge that championing reforms in opposition differs significantly from doing so in government. Munim viewed this difference as an opportunity for the party to assess its past performance and refresh its political strategy.
The PKR chief's remarks were a direct response to Pakatan Harapan's electoral setbacks in recent state elections. Kamil also called for the PKR to reinforce its grassroots operations, ensuring that public support converts into electoral triumphs. He emphasized during the party's Wanita and Youth congresses that relying solely on popularity is insufficient.
Instead, PKR must actively win the trust and allegiance of the people. Kamil highlighted that electoral defeats in Sabah, Johor, and Negeri Sembilan exposed weaknesses at the grassroots level. He stressed that these congresses should foster constructive dialogue and provide opportunities for party members to offer advice and suggestions for improvement.
PKR's performance in the three recent elections was lackluster, with the party securing only one seat each in Sabah and Johor and two in Negeri Sembilan.
