Nurul Izzah: PKR's reform agenda still thrives
KUALA LUMPUR: The eldest child of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Nurul Izzah, has stated that the reform agenda championed by her father since the founding of PKR, now 26 years old, remains very much alive. Known as the 'Puteri Reformasi', Nurul Izzah said that the struggle for reform has faced criticism and ridicule from some, who have labelled it as 'reformati' or 'reforbasi'. She said that the implementation of the reform agenda requires time and urged the PKR team to ensure that the important cause is not forgotten. "Absolutely, it is true that PKR's reform agenda has faced criticism. I believe it is important for us to address and question this," she said. "We are all part of the team. We always provide space for everyone. We need to critically think about ways to improve." "So, the issue is the criticism that we want to build. We must do it for the party and the country. Yes, we cannot say that everything we do is right. No." "Every generation will have its struggles. We cannot say that this reform has been buried. We must revive it through our actions and decisions," she told BH during the Borak Harini podcast. PKR was established in 1999. It emerged as a political movement advocating for justice, reform, and democracy in Malaysia. Izzah, a former Member of Parliament for Lembah Pantai, added that there are no shortcuts to implementing the reform agenda. According to Nurul, the need for courage is crucial for all parties, especially PKR members, to ensure that the goals align with the principles previously outlined. "In terms of what we do, the most important thing is the direction. "I can only share what I feel. I've always believed that in life, we are given just this one opportunity, and we must make the most of it. "If we followed our hearts, everyone would naturally choose the easier path. But at the same time, we see our fellow people going through difficult and challenging experiences, and that's why we need to gather the strength to be brave ourselves," she said.

'It is something important that we must continue to question.' 'We are all part of this team. We ensure everyone has a voice. We need to think critically about ways to improve.'
