Melaka polls: PKR warns candidates against 'orang besar' attitude
MELAKA: PKR has cautioned its 10 candidates contesting the Melaka election against behaving like 'orang besar' (VIPs) or becoming overconfident, assuming they have an advantage just because they represent the party led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Melaka: PKR issues warning to candidates
PKR, a coalition party led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, has cautioned its 10 candidates vying for seats in the Melaka election against adopting an overconfident, or "orang besar," attitude. Adam Adli Abd Halim, the acting chairman of Melaka PKR, emphasized the party's approach to the election with humility.
Adli noted that being part of the federal government coalition comes with expectations and pressure to secure electoral victories, but PKR views these as challenges rather than advantages. The party is not considering itself superior merely because it is associated with the Prime Minister's party, which includes numerous ministers and controls the country's administration.
PKR is fielding 24 candidates in the Melaka election, alongside two other component parties, DAP and Amanah, each contesting seven seats. Adli stressed that PKR would not underestimate the capabilities of its opponents, such as Bersama, led by Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli. However, he maintained confidence that PH remains a significant force and is prepared to face any challenges.
