PKR president Anwar Ibrahim warns the new government to focus more on bread-and-butter issues faced by the rural Malays “with the greatest urgency”.
“I’ve not heard them talking about poverty, inequality,” Anwar said at a plenary session of the Inter-Pacific Bar Association conference in Singapore, Channel NewsAsia reported. “Human rights is an issue, judicial independence is an issue, and which we should not delay in terms of implementation. That is why it was incumbent on the PH government to reassure them that this was simply not the case, adding that PH officials should show that it is serious about preserving the rights of the Bumiputeras.The Merdeka Center survey indicated that perceptions over the economy, governance and concerns among Malays, as well as treatment of the races in Malaysia, were among factors that could have contributed to the decline in support from the people.
