SHAH ALAM, March 18 — PKR will convene a special congress today here amid surging confidence after it successfully returned to power and ended decades of waiting to make its president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim the prime minister.
James Chin, professor of Asian Studies at the University of Tasmania, said the congress will be a crucial platform for Anwar to rally his party and counter the nativist narrative that PN is expected to promote on the campaign trail. Chin suggested that Anwar would do this with a counter-narrative that showcases the ruling coalition’s inclusivity.
“There will be a lot of talk of Umno and how [the cooperation] working out and how the unity government is going to save Malaysia. As for the leadership, they’re going to rally the troops, the focus is the state elections so I don’t think they can afford any bad press.”saying that the chief ministers and menteris besar of the six states that must hold elections this year have tentatively agreed to call these simultaneously in June.
Even now, Anwar’s unity government is still the subject of racial-driven attacks by an Opposition bloc that is attempting to portray his leadership as a liberal administration that promotes values inconsistent with Islam or undermine Malay economic interests.
