  • PKR Vice President R. Ramanan stressed that no individual or personal interest surpasses the party's struggle.
  • He urged members to resolve internal differences constructively, emphasizing unity over individual egos.
  • Ramanan also warned against divisive tactics like racial sentiment and called for continued support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Datuk Seri R. Ramanan, Vice President of the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), asserted that the party's mission and unity are paramount, overriding any individual or personal interests. He addressed party members, acknowledging that differences in perspective can arise but stressed that these should not lead to division, which ultimately weakens the party's grassroots support.

Ramanan cautioned against internal strife, comparing it to infighting that benefits political opponents. He advocated for a familial approach to resolving disagreements, urging members to set aside egos for the greater goal of the party's success. "No one is greater than the party. No personal interest is greater than the struggle," he stated, emphasizing that internal issues should be discussed and settled within the party structure.

Furthermore, Ramanan warned against the manipulation of racial sentiments for political gain, urging members not to be swayed by attempts to divide the Malaysian populace based on skin color, religion, or ethnicity. He encouraged robust debate on policies but firmly rejected the use of race as a political tool.

Concluding his remarks, Ramanan called on PKR members to recommit to ensuring Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim serves another term. He believes this is crucial for completing the ongoing reform agenda and achieving the party's broader objectives.
