In conjunction with PKR’s 24th anniversary, Anwar in his Facebook post yesterday said the party rides on the spirit of strong corrective measures.

“I have always reminded all that power is ‘trust and not a privilege’. Therefore, the rights and well-being of the people must be given priority, especially in the form of welfare,” he said.
