A group representing taxi drivers has announced plans to hold a rally to express support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the unity government at Dataran Merdeka on Sept 27.
Dubbed Kekal Anwar, the rally is aimed at highlighting public support for Anwar’s leadership and his unity administration’s efforts to carry out reforms.
Gabungan Teksi SeMalaysia president Kamarudin Hussain said they believe Anwar has the vision and capability to steer the country towards a more just and prosperous future.
He also said continued political stability was crucial to sustaining economic development and improving public welfare.
“We may only represent a small segment of society, but we believe our voice and our presence will have an impact not only within the country but also in the eyes of the international community,” Kamarudin, a PKR member, said at a press conference here today.
The former Selayang PKR chief issued a formal invitation to Anwar, who is also PKR president, to attend the rally in person.
He also invited students, civil society groups and political parties under both Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional to the rally, urging them to stand together in stating support for the current government.
This follows the PAS Youth-organised Turun Anwar rally which took place at the same location on Saturday, attended by nearly 20,000 people.
Multiple opposition leaders had attended the rally, including Perikatan Nasional, Urimai, Muda and former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, with demonstrators voicing dissatisfaction with the government and calling on Anwar to resign.
