PETALING JAYA – Muda has taken a realistic approach in its election manifesto, the Muda Black Paper II, for next month’s state polls, says its president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
Syed Saddiq said the manifesto, launched today, is an idea, solution, and proposal for improvement to any party that will lead the state governments.
“Muda must be realistic. This is the idealism we want to share because it is impossible for Muda to take over any state, as we are not even contesting 10% of the total seats, so we want to outline the ideas and suggestions for improvements that can be highlighted.
“Muda will highlight this (manifesto) as our solution if we are in the state assembly and become the voice of the people. As I said, we do not have the numbers to form the government, but we have ideas and improvements that we can propose,” he said at the launch of the Muda Manifesto at its main operations room here today.
He said its manifesto this time highlights four main points that emphasise the reform of administrative institutions at the state level in line with the party’s “New Politics” agenda, namely
pro-people, transparent, and inclusive; a voice for the youth; digitalisation of the economy and government services; and environmental protection.
Selangor, Kedah, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu, and Negri Sembilan will go to the polls on August 12, with nominations set for July 29 and early voting on August 8. – Bernama, July 20, 2023
