PKR is willing to listen to the voices of any leaders or members to ensure that no one feels that they have been sidelined, vice-president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said.

This follows a recent news report where a PKR assemblyman expressed hope that the upcoming party’s congress will discuss the role of non-Malay members and leaders.

Nik Nazmi said he took note of the matter and stressed that the party has never sidelined any community or favoured a specific race.

“I understand this sentiment because PKR is a national party that consists of members and leaders of various races. Within the cabinet, we have ministers from the Tionghua (Chinese) community, the Indian community, and deputy ministers from Sabah.

“So, I understand this view but we also need to understand this is not a Pakatan Harapan government. This is a unity government where Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has to weigh many factors to ensure a stable government following the results of the general election.”

He told reporters this after a working visit to the Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) solar photovoltaic project at Pantai 1 IWK sewerage treatment plant in Kuala Lumpur today. – Bernama, November 21, 2023.

  • PKR cannot run its component of the government based on excuses after excuses.
    Get your PM back to running the country for all communities and not just one, instead of gallivanting around the world pretending to be a global statesman.
    He simply isn't one - he is neither a global class statesman in stature nor in clout, and neither is he a PM for all, as it currently stands.

    • For a pretending hero, any crisis is good for opportunity to gain an inch of glory.

  • It is better put your rhetoric into action rather than empty talk.
