He said such leaders had betrayed the very community they professed to defend. “They claimed to protect the community while siphoning off funds here and there,” he said in his speech at the Selangor PKR Convention yesterday. The country must be saved, must stand firm on principles and must reject all attempts to deceive and plunder national wealth,” he said. He reiterated that the unity government also rejected politics based on ethnic supremacy and remained multiracial and multireligious in its approach. Anwar noted that previous efforts by other political leaders to form multiracial parties had failed, with many dismissing in the late 1990s the idea that Malaysia could succeed under a genuinely multiracial political platform.
