Tian Chua sambut baik seruan Anwar ‘otai’ PKR kembali
Bekas naib presiden PKR berkata walaupun ada perselisihan faham masa lalu PKR kekal kuasa politik penting di Malaysia yang berbilang kaum.
PKR President Anwar Ibrahim has invited former party leader Tian Chua to return to the fold as part of a call for veterans to bolster the organization, according to an account from FMT. Tian Chua, a former deputy prime minister who was expelled from PKR in 2022 for contesting the Batu parliamentary seat as an independent candidate, accepted the invitation during the national congress in Melaka.
The former parliamentarian noted that Anwar's call aimed to strengthen the party and revitalize the reform movement. Tian Chua also mentioned that despite past disagreements, PKR remains a significant political force in Malaysia. The deputy prime minister expressed concern over the party's vulnerability to political identity politics, which he believes threatens the reform agenda.
He stated that support for PKR among younger voters and in diverse geographical regions has been declining, which could potentially impact the party's political power in the future. Meanwhile, former deputy PM Dr Xavier Jayakumar was also present at the congress, hoping Anwar would reach out to other former leaders.
