PM Anwar reflects on reformasi journey, says ‘lawan tetap lawan’ spirit must endure

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim reflected on the journey of the reformasi struggle in a Facebook post, expressing gratitude to the early pioneers and comrades who endured trials and sacrifices for the cause of change. Anwar and his wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, have always remembered the strength, courage, and fighting spirit of those who fought beside them.

Without their efforts, Anwar would not be the Prime Minister he is today. Yesterday, the Prime Minister attended the Perintis Reformis Reunion Hi-Tea event at the Selangor International Trade Centre (SITC) to honor the movement's founding members. Anwar emphasized that the fight for change is ongoing and urged reformists to continue nurturing the spirit of the struggle.

He called for reformists to regroup and pass on the spirit to their children, families, friends, and future generations. The Prime Minister stressed that the struggle demanded unwavering courage, patience, and resilience, even as they grow older and their pace slows down. Anwar reminded everyone that while they may have fallen, lost, and suffered, they also know how to rise again. He concluded with the phrase, 'Lawan tetap lawan' (The fight goes on).
