Reform Agenda Must Continue Even After Assuming Power – Mohamad Sabu

Melaka: The reform agenda must continue even after assuming power, with governance constantly improved, including through stronger efforts to combat corruption, said Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu. He emphasized that the mandate entrusted by the people must be demonstrated through work and action, regardless of position or who is involved.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Mohamad Sabu stated, "Those who siphon off the people's money, we will fight them. It does not matter who they are or what position they hold. For Bang Mat, reform is not merely a slogan. We have been entrusted with a mandate. Now is the time for us to prove it through our work and actions. The struggle is still a long one. We will continue working for the people and the country," he said in a post on his Facebook page.

The Agriculture and Food Security Minister mentioned that he attended and listened to the address by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the 2026 PKR National Congress at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) in Ayer Keroh, which also emphasized the continuity of the reform agenda.

He highlighted the government's commitment to championing the rights of the people of Sabah and Sarawak through the implementation of the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63). He ensured that economic growth would translate into improved living standards for the people and the ability to address cost-of-living pressures.

On economic matters, Mohamad Sabu noted that while growth figures are important, it is crucial for the people to experience an improvement in their living standards. The government must be able to address cost-of-living pressures effectively.

He also expressed support for the announcement on the repeal of the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 (AUKU), which he described as providing greater space and freedom for university students.
