In Malaysia, the People’s Justice Party is entering a more uncertain phase after achieving its goal of installing Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister and pushing reforms during its time in government, according to SCMP Economy.

The report describes confidence at the party’s recent convention in Melaka, but it also highlights concerns among PKR members about the prospect of being removed from Putrajaya after only one term.

SCMP Economy points to surging Malay nationalist sentiment as a factor that is strengthening Umno’s comeback, intensifying the ruling coalition’s political challenge.

The outlet says PKR members are now focused on how to reverse the trend as Umno advances.
