Hard to execute reforms without strong political base, says former PKR MP

[superadmin]

A FORMER PKR MP has assured that the party’s much-touted reforms are on course towards realisation but can only happen in stages owing to the country’s political complexity, global uncertainties and the socioeconomic dynamics.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is weaving together reforms which can be sustainable and enduring, but it cannot be done overnight, nor within months, said Yusmadi Yusoff.

First on the agenda is solidifying the national unity political base, which now includes former rivals Barisan Nasional (BN), and winning over meaningful support in Sabah as well as Sarawak.

“The ultimate outcome is everyone coming together now to realise that the reforms will benefit all in the long-term but they must sacrifice for it,” said the former Balik Pulau MP and senator.

“If they do not feel it, perhaps their children and grandchildren can have that prospect of enjoying life better than us.

“We simply cannot execute reforms if there is no strong political base,” he added.
