PKR Youth chief: Leaders need grassroots networks to stay close to people
MELAKA: Elected leaders need to build strong grassroots networks to ensure they maintain close ties with the people, said PKR Youth chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim
Elected leaders must establish robust grassroots networks to maintain strong connections with the people, according to PKR Youth chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim. Strong ties to the community are crucial for leaders and the party to convey the correct narrative and counter negative perceptions from opposition parties. Kamil emphasized that the party's presence, narrative, machinery, and communication are vital, and that community relations and grassroots networks play a significant role as well.
Kamil addressed the final debate of the PKR Youth chief's policy address at the 2026 PKR Youth National Congress in Melaka, urging that election preparations should not solely focus on the national narrative but also consider the issues and needs of local communities. He called upon local leaders to organize more programs and activities involving grassroots members, particularly new members, to help them grasp the party's ideals and struggles better.
This effort is essential to ensure members understand their duties and responsibilities and comprehend why they chose the party's platform for their political struggle.
Kamil expressed concern that without efforts to strengthen idealism and educate new members about their duties and responsibilities, the party may slowly deviate from its struggle's path.
