KOTA BHARU: Anwar Ibrahim has promised to make changes to the leadership at all levels to consolidate PKR’s strength in the party’s march forward.
The PKR supremo said the reshuffle will be carried out in the immediate future in response to the issues raised by delegates during the party’s sixth national congress which ended this evening.
“The changes in leadership will be done across the board from the top to bottom. People who don’t work should leave the party,” he said.
Anwar also addressed the requests made by PKR’s Youth wing.
“I noticed that PKR Youth and the Women’s wing were highly visible in the congress this time. We will include both these groups in the central leadership line-up,” he said in his speech.
Expressing satisfaction with the maturity and quality of the debates, he said: “I have been watching the congress since 2004, the issues raised and the level of maturity among the delegates and in the debates is good.”
“I want all the leaders sitting here on stage to go down to the ground and visit every division and meet our members,” he added.
Anwar also touched on several motions raised by the Youth and Women’s wing delegates.
Criticisms accepted with an open mind
On Selangor, the opposition leader said the leadership accepted the suggestions and criticisms against Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim with an open mind.
He said many changes have been carried out in the last two years in Selangor under Pakatan Rakyat’s administration.
“Under BN (Barisan Nasional), the state was destroyed because the menteri besar’s gluttony deprived the rakyat of their wealth.
