He says the 'Bangsar bubble' are only focusing on institutional reforms from a position of comfort.
Bersatu supreme council member Wan Saiful Wan Jan has backed PKR president Anwar Ibrahim in saying that the urban elite pushing for reforms are disconnected from the needs of the grassroots.
However, he added, politicians are the ones bearing the brunt of the discontent from the grassroots, listening to gripes relating to bread and butter issues on a daily basis."But their lives are disconnected from the villagers in Arau and Pendang, where the people live in hardship and are voiceless," he said."People who voted for change must get our help. Small-time contractors and businesses who supported change must be helped.
"If our reform efforts sideline the public, it shows that we are overly influenced by the 'Bangsar bubble'," he said.in the PKR leader said that the federal government had succumbed to pressure from the urban elite and civil society, resulting in a backlash from the Malay community.
