PKR tak perlu tiru naratif PAS untuk tarik pengundi, kata penganalisis

Wong Chin Huat, a political analyst at Sunway University, stated that the PKR should not emulate PAS' narrative to win voter support. He warned that doing so would only make the PKR a copycat, not a distinct political option. During a PKR memorandum, the analyst emphasized that a self-analysis is necessary for the party, especially after its decline in recent elections and Pakatan Harapan (PH).

Emulating PAS as a religious and nationalistic struggle would only make the PKR a copy and fail to attract voters, particularly minority and liberal ones.

Wong further criticized PKR's failure to attract nationalist voters while alienating minorities and liberals. For the party to succeed, it needs deep self-analysis, not merely criticism. During the PKR Youth Congress, Kamil Munim stressed the importance of understanding current political developments and mastering issues close to the people.

At a previous PAS Central Ulama Council meeting, Mohd Nor Hamzah urged Muslim voters to support PAS to take control of Putrajaya to annul gambling premises licenses at the federal level. Kamil also urged PKR to evaluate its failure in producing leaders who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Johor Menteri Besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi, a result of the Barisan Nasional (BN) landslide victory in the last general election.

Fauzi Abdul Hamid, an analyst from Universiti Sains Malaysia, suggested that deep self-reflection and improvement in PKR should not be limited to regional factions or state leadership. Instead, it needs to encompass central leadership. Anwar Ibrahim, PKR's president, should seriously consider leadership succession after his absence.

Fauzi further urged Anwar to prioritize genuine reform agenda down to the root cause rather than merely focusing on maintaining relationships with the unity government components for political survival. He believes the prime minister should utilize the remaining period of his administration to strengthen the legacy as a reformist by implementing fundamental struggles that PKR has been advocating for a long time.
