Sabah PKR Urges PM Anwar to Prioritize Poverty Eradication and Documentation Issues

The Sabah PKR State Leadership Council has recommended that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim concentrate on eliminating hardcore poverty and resolving people's documentation issues in the state.

During a meeting with the council, Anwar, who is also the PKR president, discussed these two main areas of concern.

The council stressed the significance of accelerating efforts to eliminate hardcore poverty in Sabah and provided suggestions to address the matter. They also highlighted the need to strengthen cooperation between the federal and state governments to overcome citizenship issues, particularly for residents without valid identification documents.

Why this matters: Addressing poverty and documentation issues in Sabah is vital for ensuring the well-being and rights of its citizens. Resolving these challenges will contribute to the state's overall development and social stability.

Anwar stated that the government will address the citizenship issue according to the country's conditions, and he was moved by the council's focus on tackling poverty and the lack of valid documents. The meeting also involved discussions on the development of Sabah, the current state of Sabah politics, and programs to boost the economy for the well-being of the people.

The Sabah PKR State Leadership Council made three specific recommendations to the Prime Minister: 1) Focus on efforts to eradicate hardcore poverty in Sabah, 2) Address the issue of providing documentation to the people in a transparent manner through strategic cooperation between the federal and state governments, and 3) Promote closer political cooperation between Unity component parties in preparation for the upcoming state election to maintain political stability.

Sabah PKR is committed to ensuring the voice of the people of Sabah is heard and effective immediate action is taken to address the challenges they face. "The Sabah PKR MPN expressed the importance of speeding up efforts to eradicate hardcore poverty in the state and provided suggestions to address the matter," Anwar said, emphasizing the council's dedication to improving the lives of Sabahans.
