Anwar urges PKR members to strive for change with sincerity
Speaking at a meeting with Federal Territories PKR members in Putrajaya, Anwar emphasised the importance of gradual yet persistent reform efforts.
'We may not achieve everything overnight, but we will advance the reform agenda step by step,' he said in a Facebook post.
He highlighted the Federal Territories as a key stronghold for PKR but stressed that the party's strength must be rooted in core values and grassroots engagement.
'Divisions must stay active through programmes that connect with people of all races, ages, and backgrounds,' he added.
Addressing recent political developments, Anwar welcomed criticism while expressing disappointment over the lack of substantive issues raised by protesters.
'I thank those who gathered peacefully yesterday, though I was slightly disappointed that the only chant was 'Turunkan Anwar.'
If the Opposition Leader wishes to table a no-confidence motion, let him. This is a democracy,' he said.
The Prime Minister acknowledged the government's imperfections but reiterated its commitment to improvement. 'What is lacking, we will fix. What remains unresolved, we will address.
Reforms must be phased to ensure they are accepted and sustained,' he said.
He cited the reduction of RON95 petrol prices for Malaysians as an example of bold yet rational policymaking.
'PKR must remain a forward-looking party—open to criticism, mature in action, and united in purpose. We are not perfect, but we are sincere.
That sincerity will drive us forward,' Anwar concluded. – Bernama

Thailand and Cambodia ceasefire talks begin in Malaysia
PUTRAJAYA: Thailand and Cambodia initiated ceasefire discussions on Monday as border tensions entered their fifth day, with over 200,000 civilians displaced by artillery and gunfire exchanges. The talks, held at Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's official residence, Seri Perdana, included delegations from the US and China. Thai acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet met shortly after 0700 GMT, following US President Donald Trump's intervention. Trump reportedly secured commitments from both leaders to 'quickly work out' a truce during late-night weekend calls. Malaysia, as the current ASEAN chair, is mediating the negotiations. However, hostilities persisted ahead of the meeting, with both sides exchanging fresh accusations. Phumtham claimed Bangkok doubted Phnom Penh's sincerity, while Cambodian defence ministry spokeswoman Maly Socheata accused Thailand of continued territorial incursions with heavy weaponry. The disputed border region, home to ancient temples, has seen repeated clashes despite past ceasefire agreements. US State Department officials and a Chinese delegation were present at the talks, reflecting international interest in stabilising the conflict. – AFP
