MELAKA — PKR will strengthen its communication strategy, particularly in information dissemination, to ensure the government’s messages are conveyed more clearly to the public.
PKR information chief Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil, who is also Communications Minister, said he took seriously the concerns raised by delegates regarding the effectiveness of the government’s communication strategy at the ongoing PKR National Congress 2026.
“There has been a lot of criticism and many matters that require reflection.
“We need to consider how to strengthen the party machinery, including making adjustments to our communication and information strategies,” he told reporters today on the congress’ sidelines. The congress is being held at the Melaka International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITC) in Ayer Keroh.
Fahmi said several proposals raised by delegates at the congress were about the need to strengthen information dissemination and communication.
“This is important. Many have said that despite various government efforts and achievements, especially those related to macroeconomic matters, these have yet to be translated into improvements felt at the household level.
“This is among the key messages for me, the Communications Ministry, as well as in my capacity as Information Chief and Communications Director of Pakatan Harapan,” he added.
Fahmi said several views and planned changes related to information dissemination and communication proposals would be presented during the winding-up session tomorrow.
“I remain open to these views and appreciate the willingness of branch leaders who have expressed their commitment to play a greater role in disseminating information.
“Such a channel has existed before, but perhaps a more formal arrangement is needed to ensure issues at the parliamentary level can be brought to our attention in Putrajaya and solutions can be worked out,” he said.
Fahmi said the party’s Central Leadership Council (MPP) was receptive to all proposals raised by delegates and would lead the transformation by making changes within the party’s own leadership first. – August 15, 2026
