PETALING JAYA – Muda has outlined a vision to empower ordinary Malaysians as the core of its struggle, in an effort to ensure that the welfare of the people remains a priority in national policies and governance.
Acting Muda president Amira Aisya Abd Aziz said the approach encompasses various aspects, including education, the economy, housing and institutional reform, with the aim of ensuring that social justice is enjoyed by all Malaysians.
Among the key priorities highlighted is ensuring that no child is left behind in the education system, while also guaranteeing that young people receive dignified wages.
“From an economic perspective, we want to ensure that young people earn dignified wages.
“We want to ensure that whether they are single mothers, single fathers or anyone else seeking employment, they are able to find jobs.
“We want to ensure that when they wish to buy a home, they can afford to do so. We will also push the government to build more affordable housing. Many of the houses available now are only affordable to look at,” she said.
She said this during a press conference held in conjunction with the Muda Annual General Meeting 2025 and the Muda Party Elections for the 2026–2029 term at Bangunan Peladang here today.
Among the leaders present were Pejuang president Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) deputy chairman S. Arutchelvan, PSM Perak chairman Bawani KS and former Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
Amira also shared that the M40 group, often perceived as relatively well-off, is in fact among those most affected by rising living costs.
“We want to ensure that the M40 group is also represented and defended across all policy areas,” she said.
Elaborating further, she stressed the importance of institutional reform to ensure that misconduct and corruption can be eradicated in the interest of the people.
According to her, public funds that are misused should instead be utilised to develop public facilities such as hospitals, public buses and schools.
“All of this is the people’s money. We want to ensure that public funds return to the pockets of the people, not into the pockets of the Cabinet,” she added.
