The former MP also says PKR must establish itself as a movement that could survive beyond the present government and its president, Anwar Ibrahim
Tian Chua, one of PKR’s founding leaders, said there are many movements and parties which share the ideal of an inclusive Malaysia.
PETALING JAYA: Tian Chua, one of PKR’s founding leaders, has called for Pakatan Harapan to forge a new political strategy and new alliances that are more inclusive than the current three-party model.
The current structure, which comprises PKR, DAP and Amanah, is “outdated”, he said in an interview with FMT.
The former Batu MP who was recently invited to rejoin PKR after being sacked in 2023 said new alliances could include political parties, movements and people who shared the vision of an inclusive Malaysia.
Tian Chua said many movements and parties share this ideal. It did not matter if these parties or organisations were not huge outfits or did not have many members, because “their vision is what matters.”
“We have to find ways to accommodate them and synchronise our efforts with them,” he said.
Tian Chua acknowledged, however, that political parties ultimately had to contest in elections and field candidates, but said these were merely “technical considerations”. Seat distribution was secondary as candidate selection should be based on merit and ability to attract votes.’
Beyond Anwar
Tian Chua further said PKR must also establish itself as a movement that could survive beyond the present government and its president, Anwar Ibrahim.
“The party’s objective cannot purely be to remain in power for the next (electoral) term and then find new leaders just to remain in power after that,” he said.
“The main thing is that we have to create a party with idealism and principles,” he said, adding that the party must build ”bottom up” by rebuilding the grassroots, reconnecting with communities and making supporters feel like the movement belonged to the people.
He said PKR’s experience in government should be a “cumulative skill” that helps it become a better ruling party.
A similar call for PKR to start cultivating a new generation of leaders was made by PKR vice-president Dr Zaliha Mustafa last week. She said the party must build up leaders capable of continuing with the reform agenda and leading the country in the post-Anwar era.
PKR should not wait until Anwar decides to step down as party president before looking for a successor, she said.

Coopt and Embrace the 3R mob, but not a group that is just waiting for the opportunity to backstab and replace you...I.e. not UMNOPAS.
ReplyDeleteThere were several aircraft incidents recently involving airlines from this region, including the MAS engine blowout at Tokyo...a pilot fb page was discussing a recent Thai aircraft at Frankfurt and other incidents were added in to the conversation.

A Saudia Boeing 747 falls into a drainage ditch while taxiing at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia.
The plane suffers nose damage so severe that the aircraft is written off, but nobody aboard is hurt.
Responding emergency crews are heard to joke: “she was just thirsty and wanted a drink of water.”
Something is brewing in Jakarta.

The people of Pati have arrived at the DPR RI in Jakarta.
Not for tourism.
They immediately pointed at the 6-meter fence: "Is this a kingdom or a house of aspirations?"
"This high. Tomorrow we'll just ask for this much."
The distance between the people and their representatives is that tall. #DPR #Pagar6Meter

Several community groups from various regions are preparing to join the August 27 action. Residents of Pati are bringing demands for the ratification of the Asset Seizure Bill and the death penalty for corruptors, while the Bangkalan masses support President Prabowo Subianto's program.

A food crisis is really coming next year!
Look at the facts unfolding right now:
More and more people can't afford eggs.
Thailand: rice production down.
France: corn could drop to its lowest in a decade.
Peru: indefinite suspension of anchovy fishing.
Recently, JPMorgan Chase issued a warning too:
*"Food Security is National Security: A Compound Storm"*
The core judgment is:
The next global food crisis could erupt as early as next year.
Food inflation rate doubling from 2.8% to 5%.
Many dismiss it as just another institutional armchair prediction.
In reality, the crisis has already begun.
Start with the details closest to home.
Globally, more and more people can't afford—or even buy—eggs.
And eggs are just the tip of the iceberg in this crisis.
The scarier stuff is happening in the fields.
In Thailand's famed rice hub of Phichit Province, rice paddies are cracking and hardening on a massive scale.
Thai rice prices have already plunged to their lowest in nearly 18 months.
In central Vietnam, a 60-year-old farmer stares worriedly at his withered, yellow fields:
"It's dried up three times already, but this time, the rice just won't grow without water."
In Indonesia, 1,366 monitoring stations have gone 21 to 30 days without a drop of rain, and 70 stations haven't seen rain for 60 straight days.
Europe hasn't escaped this wave either.
The European Commission's Joint Research Centre reports that yield forecasts for nearly all summer crops across Europe have been downgraded.
German farmers are losing €10 million a day.
France is facing its smallest corn harvest in decades.
The French Vegetable Producers Association says:
Cauliflower, lettuce, peas, green beans—losses in some categories could hit 50% of annual output, with total crop failures in certain areas.
Every price hike we see on supermarket veggies stems from fields that have yielded nothing at all.
JPMorgan Chase attributes this storm to five W's:
War
Weather
Warehousing
Water
Waste
But the deadliest are the first two.
First, war.
On one side, the sudden closure of the Strait of Hormuz has snapped the global fertilizer supply chain.
Urea prices once surged over 110%.
Without fertilizer, the soil can't sustain crops.
On the other side, grain export routes are blocked too.
Look at the Black Sea.
Just in the last two weeks, fertilizer at Shanghai's ports has grown tight.
On August 18, four cargo ships near a Russian shipping route in the Black Sea were attacked.
And before that, five vessels had already been hit.
These ships weren't carrying luxury goods—they were loaded with the wheat under our feet.
Ukraine's grain exports have plummeted 76%.
Keep in mind, Ukraine accounts for over a quarter of global wheat exports.
No single country can fill that gap.
The third blow is El Niño.
