PSM raises fist in support after Anwar puts foot down By RK Anand

Malaysiakini : PSM has commended Anwar Ibrahim for his speech at the recent PKR special congress that attempts to sow racial and religious discord would not be tolerated.

For S Arutchelvan, the prime minister has drawn an important lesson from Pakatan Harapan’s 22-month rise and fall after the 2018 general election. “Anwar has learnt that you cannot be naïve with your enemies.

“Harapan’s failure in not countering right-wing extremism led to the demise of the government then," the PSM deputy chairperson told Malaysiakini.   Therefore, Arutchelvan said Anwar should be supported as his nascent government is confronted with a similar conundrum, involving the same forces that orchestrated Harapan’s downfall.

“His hard-hitting speech was targeted at his base and the international community. His position in talking for all Malaysians against those who speak for one-race politics will be well received, especially in the Borneo states, west coast, and southern states of Peninsular Malaysia.

“In recent weeks, there has been some fear among the Harapan base, especially the non-Malays, that Anwar is bending too much to accommodate the ‘green wave’. His message at the PKR congress is to reassure his base and consolidate his grip on power,” he added.
