PETALING JAYA: Amanah vice-president Mujahid Yusof Rawa today said that the party stands by Anwar Ibrahim’s leadership of Pakatan Harapan because of his proven commitment towards reforms in Malaysia.
Mujahid said it is not the time to put pressure on the coalition. Instead, they need to support Anwar.
“I am confident that we will stand by him, not just because he is Anwar Ibrahim but because of the institutional reforms that he has been defending, and for which he was jailed for defending,” he said in a statement today.
Mujahid said that PH had been “betrayed” by PPBM when the party was part of the ruling federal coalition.
“Anyone who leads PH must have an unwavering commitment to the great agenda of institutional reforms,” he said. Anwar had led this great agenda and remained steadfast in defending the principles of reform along with Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
“When Tun (Dr Mahathir Mohamad) chaired PH, many of his own party, PPBM, failed to understand this big agenda and the result was a betrayal, to the great reform agenda and to the meaning of loyalty.
“It was they who chose to betray us, not us who drove them away!,” he said.
