Give Anwar chance to continue leading the country

PKR Deputy President Nurul Izzah Anwar is advocating for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to secure a second term, emphasizing the need to continue structural reforms for a fairer wage system.

Every worker who provides us food, who serves us, who looks after us throughout the congress, the percentage of salary they bring home, their take-home salary is only 33 percent.

Speaking at the PKR Annual National Congress in Melaka, Izzah pointed out that workers' take-home pay has not kept pace with productivity gains. "Every worker who provides us food, who serves us, who looks after us throughout the congress, the percentage of salary they bring home, their take-home salary is only 33 percent," she stated. She argued that this disparity leads to worker dissatisfaction and necessitates deeper policies to build a more equitable salary structure.

Izzah also stressed that economic growth must be coupled with fair distribution of wealth. "A bigger cake gives us more room, including for the Malays who are the majority of the people, to be distributed to all. But it is also the basis for wage increases," she explained. She further linked economic growth to increased employment opportunities and greater participation for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), women, and youth in the mainstream economy.

Addressing her own political future, Izzah affirmed her commitment to the reformist struggle, regardless of her role. "God willing, Keadilan will continue to carry the trust. I will also continue to carry the trust through different spaces but I will move in unison with the same goal. I am Nurul Izzah and I will remain Nurul Izzah, the child of Reformasi 1998," she declared.
