Stop dwelling on losses, focus on way forward, says Fadhlina
AYER KEROH: PKR leaders and members must stop dwelling on Pakatan Harapan's (PH) recent electoral defeats and focus on the way forward.
In the aftermath of the recent electoral setbacks for Pakatan Harapan (PH), the leaders and members of the Parti Kebangsaan Rakyat (PKR) have been urged by Fadhlina Sidek, the chief of PKR's women wing, to shift their focus towards the future rather than dwelling on past disappointments. Speaking after the PKR congress, Fadhlina emphasized the importance of engaging with women and reclaiming their role at the grassroots level.
The Dapur Wanita initiative, an essential aspect of political work, was highlighted as the primary place to initiate this engagement. Fadhlina stressed the need to inquire about basic necessities like rice, sugar, and salt, as well as the frequency of meals for children. She urged the PKR Congress attendees to execute the same strategies that were deployed in Melaka and Sarawak ahead of the upcoming state elections, as they are crucial for the party's survival leading up to the 16th General Election (GE16).
Reflecting on past election losses, Fadhlina acknowledged the emotions of sadness and anger experienced by the party. To move forward, she stressed the necessity of strengthening the organisation, improving election training, and winning over more women across Malaysia. Fadhlina also called for a greater inclusion of women as election candidates, advocating for a minimum of 30% female candidates.
She emphasized the importance of preparing and highlighting candidates who meet the criteria for elections, despite the challenges faced.
