Malaysian social activist, Dato’ Dr. Kalaivanar, recently criticised the leaders of the opposition, Perikatan Nasional (PN), who organised the ‘Turun Anwar’ rally.
In a press conference before the rally, Kalaivanar told the leaders that before they expect Anwar to step down as the Prime Minister, they should’ve solved the people’s problems.
He also expressed his disappointment in some leaders of the Opposition who spend more time playing politics instead of taking action to solve the crisis that Malaysians are facing.
“If you want Anwar to step down, you have to go out on the field first to help the people resolve the crisis.”
For instance, Kalaivanar slammed some leaders of PN who allegedly failed to turn up in certain areas, such as Kampung Melayu, where many of the residents are still facing issues with the reserve land and the land grants. Despite the desire for a rally to pressure PMX to step down, Kalaivanar claimed that not one leader or representative from PN had visited the place to help the people.
“I believe that no one from PN has actually paid a visit to Kampung Baru. Where was Datuk Hamzah, the leader of the Opposition?”
Apart from the ongoing issue in Kampung Melayu, Kalaivanar also highlighted the ongoing issues with the Indian community in Batu Caves, where some residents, who Kalaivanar claimed to have valid land grants, are allegedly denied their rights.
“Where is Perikatan Nasional? You’re just the same. If you want the Prime Minister to step down, you should explain how you are going to resolve the ongoing issues.”
What do you think of his take on this matter?
