Bigger challenges for moderates: PKR must push reform for GE15, says party man

[superadmin]

GEORGE TOWN – PKR should continue to pursue its own reform agenda to prepare for the 15th general election, as moderate-standing parties will be facing bigger challenges according to most accounts, said PKR legal bureau head Mohd Yusmadi Yusoff.

Yusmadi said that contrary to current perceptions, the multiracial party is not done and dusted yet, despite suffering consecutive losses in Melaka and Sarawak.

“It is only when PKR is pushed to the corner that it fights back with vigour.

“We are a party born from reformists. The party comprises people who do not accept the status quo easily, especially when the country suffers as a result of it,” he said during an interview with The Vibes recently.

Yusmadi, who is plotting his own comeback trail, suggested that the party has an internal reform agenda that includes reaching out to the young, asking those who have lost faith to politely leave, and to consolidate its strength as a moderate and reform-oriented party.

“Reform agendas around the world have taken decades. Look at Nelson Mandela’s struggle.
