Anwar calls on Sarawak PKR to strengthen party's grassroots
He said PKR's grassroots strength must be embraced, reminding those who won in the election not to be arrogant but instead to work together with all parties, including those who lost.
"Each of us has our own role and strength to continue serving the people.
"Building the party in the Land of the Hornbills is no easy feat, but with collective determination, Keadilan can certainly establish a firm footing," he said in a Facebook post after a meeting with the Sarawak PKR Leadership Council here today.
Anwar said the mandate given to the leadership was not an absolute right, but a major responsibility that must be carried out with honesty and sincerity.
"Power and position are not licences for comfort or abuse of trust.
"All leaders must uphold integrity, be transparent in their actions, and always prioritise the people's interests," he said.

Malaysia Peduli To Honour Unity Advocates At Inaugural Awards Night
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- The inaugural Malaysia Peduli Awards Night 2025 will be held on Oct 17 to honour individuals who have played significant roles in promoting unity under the Malaysia MADANI framework. Organised by the Human Responsibility and Concern Organisation of Malaysia (Malaysia Peduli), the event carries the theme 'Unity: Catalyst for National Well-being' and will be held at Dewan Merdeka, World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof is expected to officiate the event on behalf of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Prime Minister's political secretary Datuk Azman Abidin said the theme reflects the nation's aspirations, with unity being a key pillar of prosperity and inclusive progress. 'We are seeing how fragile our society can be today. In a multiracial country like Malaysia, it is essential to protect sensitivities around race and religion. 'Preserving unity helps maintain national stability and allows the government to focus on driving economic development,' he said at the pre-launch ceremony today, which was also attended by Malaysia Peduli chairman Noor Sham @ Ann Abu Samah and corporate sponsors. Azman said the awards also serve as a platform to foster social cohesion, uplift marginalised groups and inspire Malaysians to view national success as a shared responsibility. 'I hope the awards become a model for younger generations and a catalyst for greater civil society efforts to strengthen unity and support economic growth,' he added. Malaysia Peduli deputy chairman Datuk Azman Yaakob, who is also the event coordinator, said the non-governmental organisation will continue to play its part in addressing key national issues, especially unity.

MUDA unbowed by Zahid's intimidation tactics; demand DPM be reindicted for 47 graft charges
'WE will not be intimidated!' In an almost Churchillian declaration of defiance, MUDA has responded to a legal suit slapped on its secretary-general Ainie Haziqah Shafiee by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi. Zahid who is also UMNO president has previously sent a notice of claim to Ainie asking for an apology and damages. Media reports states that the notice was sent following Ainie's speech which criticised Zahid's prior corruption charges during the recent Turun Anwar rally. 'This is an action of a coward and a hyporcrite,' declared MUDA's acting president Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz in a media conference at the Lawyers For Liberty (LFL) headquarters in Petaling Jaya yesterday (Aug 18). Arguing that this was an act of 'political intimidation', the Johor State Assembly member asked why the party's secretary-general was singled out when many others had voiced concerns of Zahid's perceived escape with a DNAA (dismissal not amounting to an acquittal) for his 47 graft charges. In the no-holds barred media session, Amira slammed the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition for failing to uphold its electoral promises. 'In every campaign video and ceramah during GE15 (15th General Election), Zahid was labelled as 'corrupt' but they now stand shoulder to shoulder, laughing, hugging and making official visits to each other's governmental departments,' she pointed out, quite unable to hide her contempt. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was also not spared as his anti-graft campaign was belittled as a mere sham. A clip of the media conference was shared on social activist and lawyer Siti Kasim's Facebook page with a one-worded message: 'SOKONG!! ' (Support). The originally TikTok video has been viewed 9.2K times with many commenters in full agreement while one openly declaring that 'nobody is above the law'. One commenter cast aspersions on enforcement agencies, in particular the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), insinuating unseen hands pulling levers to deceive the rakyat. Another commenter highlighted the seeming 'favouritism' within the current regime, insinuating selective persecution. A few concerned observers also pointed to the Sword of Damocles that hangs over Zahid's head. It is hard to imagine any other country where such a scenario could exist, they pointed out. However, one commenter did ask the pertinent question – why was MUDA silent when now incarcerated former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak was getting away with his 1MDB corruption scandal? Another quickly clarified that the former 10-term Pekan MP's 1MDB-related case is still in progress. Furthermore, MUDA has been slapped with a suit by Zahid instead of Najib. Another wondered if other DNAA cases should be re-opened, notably that of now Sabah governor Tun Musa Aman. All said and done, it remains to be seen if MUDA has the political clout for to get the corruption case against the DPM reinstated. What is clear though that there is enough public support, judging from comments made on social media. – Aug 19, 2025
