CYBERJAYA – PKR vice-president Chang Lih Kang has called on all quarters to give time to the unity government to carry out reforms in the country’s administration.
Chang said it is still too early to say reforms raised by Pakatan Harapan (PH) for the government had fizzled out.
“The government is still young, so some have not been implemented… give us time, assess us after the first term, I feel it is too premature to say reforms are dead,” he told reporters after the InnoEx closing ceremony here today.
Chang was commenting on the statement of Perikatan Nasional Youth chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari, who said the reforms championed by PH had gone up in smoke with the granting of a discharge not amounting to acquittal to Umno chief Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi on Monday.
High court judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah had allowed the prosecution’s application to stop all proceedings against the deputy prime minister for 47 charges of criminal breach of trust, corruption and money laundering involving Yayasan Akalbudi funds.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stressed that he did not give any instruction to Attorney-General Tan Sri Idrus Harun on the case. – September 9, 2023
