Anwar calls on Sarawak PKR to strengthen party's grassroots
The Prime Minister said PKR's grassroots strength must be embraced, reminding those who won in the election not to be arrogant but instead to work together with all parties, including those who lost.
"Each of us has our own role and strength to continue serving the people.
"Building the party in the Land of the Hornbills is no easy feat, but with collective determination, KEADILAN can certainly establish a firm footing," he said in a Facebook post after a meeting with the Sarawak PKR Leadership Council here on Sunday (June 22).
Anwar added that the mandate given to the leadership was not an absolute right, but a major responsibility that must be carried out with honesty and sincerity.
"Power and position are not licences for comfort or abuse of trust. All leaders must uphold integrity, be transparent in their actions, and always prioritise the people's interests," he said. - Bernama

13th Malaysia Plan urged to include Indian community initiatives
PETALING JAYA: The upcoming 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) should incorporate the Malaysian Indian Blueprint and the Indian Community Action Plan if the government is committed to uplifting the Indian community, says the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KLSICCI). Its president Nivas Ragavan said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim acknowledged that while the majority in hardcore poverty are Malays, the Indian community remains severely affected. "If the Prime Minister and the Unity Government are truly serious about advancing the Madani Economic Framework, both the Malay and Indian communities must be placed at the heart of the nation's mainstream economic agenda," he said in a statement on Monday (July 28). The Star highlighted that the 13MP is expected to enhance Malaysia's competitiveness by promoting high-value manufacturing through business and investor-friendly policies, according to economists. The 13MP document is scheduled to be tabled at the Dewan Rakyat sitting on July 31 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The prime minister previously said the 13MP was being formulated with a focus on the economic empowerment of the people through increased income, inclusive and sustainable economic structural reforms, and strengthening governance and efficiency in the delivery of public services.

Sabah polls: PH has a delicate balancing act to pull off, says former CM Salleh
KOTA KINABALU: It will be up to Pakatan Harapan to walk the tightrope in juggling electoral cooperation between Barisan Nasional and Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), says Datuk Salleh Said Keruak. The Sabah Umno treasurer said that with GRS opting to forge an electoral pact with Pakatan in the coming state election, Barisan will leave it to Pakatan to manage the cooperation among the three parties. ALSO READ: Sabah polls: GRS and Pakatan to continue electoral pact "For Barisan, we chose to work with Pakatan early on... (as) we are the foundation of the unity government at the federal level. So this cooperation is a logical and responsible continuation," the former chief minister said in a Facebook post on Monday (July 28). "How Pakatan manages cooperation with Barisan and GRS is none of our business. "What is important for Barisan is sincere cooperation, and our focus is to strengthen the party on the ground. "We want to win and help our coalition partners. We are not a two-faced player. "Our approach is clear – honest, open, and for the good of the people of Sabah." GRS and Sabah Barisan were partners in the 2020 state election. ALSO READ: GRS partners surprised over Hajiji's GRS-PH pact announcement They have refused to work with each other since Sabah Barisan withdrew its support for Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor in January 2023. Sabah Pakatan filled the vacuum and kept Hajiji's state government afloat. Salleh said the GRS decision to forge an electoral pact with Pakatan reflected that it has chosen to work with national parties and reject the "all local" approach adopted in Sarawak. "The GRS decision to choose Pakatan as a partner for the Sabah election deserves respect. "It ultimately rejected the solo path and chose to work with national parties. Of course, it has (its reasons)... and the people will judge," Salleh added. "We in Barisan have been consistent from the beginning that a coalition with Pakatan is the best approach for stability," he said. ALSO READ: Former leader's opposition to Borneo bloc prompted GRS to back unity government, Hajiji says His comments followed Hajiji's confirmation on Sunday (July 27) that an electoral pact with Pakatan had been confirmed and they were just ironing out the details. There has been no immediate official reaction by GRS coalition partners to Hajiji's announcement. Salleh believes that GRS chose Pakatan as a partner because it wanted to work with the Prime Minister's party to ensure good relations with the Federal Government. "This is in line with the need to guarantee political stability and development for Sabah," he said. Over the last few weeks, Sabah Barisan and Pakatan have reached several agreements on seats to be contested in their negotiations in Sabah and Peninsular Malaysia.
