PUTRAJAYA, Nov 25 — Parti Keadilan Rakyat Youth chief Adam Adli Abdul Halim has stressed the critical role of party postholders in being the people’s voice and relaying their credible grievances.
In his policy speech at the Keadilan Youth Wing (AMK) National Congress, he said as Keadilan is the party of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, its members are incumbent to act as a conduit between the party and the public, leveraging their positions within the government.
“As members of Angkatan Muda Keadilan, we must brace ourselves for a responsibility both significant and challenging. Following our successful struggle, it is time to give real substance to our victory.
“As key supporters of the government led by our President and Prime Minister, it is our duty to serve as the link, conveying the youths’ voices to those in power.
“Many of us occupy various roles in the political landscape, from local council members and elected representatives, to high-ranking government officials at both Federal and state levels. This puts us in a unique position to channel these voices into policies and actions that benefit everyone, particularly the youth.
“It is vital we assist the government in understanding and addressing the community’s needs. We are the bridge connecting the concerns, ideas, desires, and expectations of our target groups to those who can enact meaningful change,” Adam said.
However, he warned fellow party members against complacency, despite their government positions.
“Occasionally, I hear some of our colleagues asking whether we still need to endure hardships now that we are in the government. This question often leaves me in a dilemma.
“We started from humble beginnings, tirelessly working towards our goals. If we look around, our situation has significantly improved from where we began.
“The public is observing us. Our position as the youth wing members of a party in government does not mean we have the final say to what we want,’’ Adam said.
