Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim Sunday urged party loyalists to continue the push for political change in Malaysia and strive for a win in three crucial by-elections next month. Anwar also said the opposition alliance will continue to fight corruption and help the poor.
"Our aim is to build a prosperous country by establishing a stable and clean business environment that is competitive in the global economy. "This would ensure that the poorest segments of society including the Malays and (other indigenous peoples) have access to economic opportunities and aid that trickles all the way down instead of disappearing long before it reaches them," Anwar said in his speech, according to the text that was made available on his blog.
