PH needs new strategy and more inclusive alliances, says Tian Chua
PKR founding leader Tian Chua has called for Pakatan Harapan to adopt a more inclusive political strategy beyond its current three-party structure. He emphasized the need for the party to rebuild its grassroots connection and focus on long-term idealism rather than just maintaining power.
Why it matters
This internal critique reflects ongoing debates about political reform and the future direction of Malaysia's ruling coalition.
Tian Chua, one of PKR's founding leaders, said there are many movements and parties which share the ideal of an inclusive Malaysia.
PETALING JAYA: Tian Chua, one of PKR’s founding leaders, has called for Pakatan Harapan to forge a new political strategy and new alliances that are more inclusive than the current three-party model.
The current structure, which comprises PKR, DAP and Amanah, is “outdated”, he said in an interview with FMT.
The former Batu MP who was recently invited to rejoin PKR after being sacked in 2023 said new alliances could include political parties, movements and people who shared the vision of an inclusive Malaysia.
Tian Chua said many movements and parties share this ideal. It did not matter if these parties or organisations were not huge outfits or did not have many members, because “their vision is what matters.”
