KUALA LUMPUR: Should Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim succeed Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as premier, the PKR president must be a prime minister who takes care of the welfare of all Malaysians, regardless of race, says Gerakan president Datuk Dr Dominic Lau Hoe Chai.
"We don’t want a prime minister who takes care of certain races only. This is important.”
“For Gerakan, we are more concerned whether the upcoming prime minister is the people’s PM or just one who takes care of a certain race.”Dr Lau said Gerakan’s ideology is based on the notion that the country’s society consists of a diverse mix of race and religion.Prior to GE14, Pakatan Harapan component parties agreed that if the coalition won, Dr Mahathir would be the prime minister for two years before handing over the reins to Anwar.
Meanwhile, the Gerakan president said the party would organise a ceremony on May 25 to honour and remember veteran leaders who struggled for the party in the past.
