By Debra Chong, The Malaysian Insider PKR’s No. 2 told its youth and women’s wing members today to shape up and reach out to the growing number of Malaysians looking for a multi-racial and multi-religious party to represent their needs in a changing world.
Dr Syed Husin Ali told the two wings that now was not the time to rest on its laurels even though they had won big at the March general elections as the victory came from the people’s support rather than the party’s own efforts. He said that its political rivals, especially Umno, was fanning racial and religious fires because they were threatened by the opposition’s climb to power in five states. He reminded them that the Pakatan Rakyat plan to take over the federal government was still on track even though the leadership was keeping quiet on when it will happen. “The lesson learnt is that we talk about it, it alerts undesirable elements,” the deputy president said at PKR’s annual general meeting for its youth and women wings here today.

On another note,allow me to express my opinion on the leadership in Sabah.While I'm totally certain,Sabahans are fully behind PKR,weather openly or silently,the leadership needs to be reform,re-branded, re-package and re-invented,if we are to see any impact.
During my resent visit to Kota Kinabalu,I've notice certain Corporate Businessman who in my opnion,would be great leaders,but are unconvinced with the current leadership.My advice to DSAI,seek and you will find.
My warm wishes and good luck for a successful congress,I'll be there
