PETALING JAYA: Angkatan Muda Harapan (AMH) has challenged the Opposition to immediately table a no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister in the Dewan Rakyat.
Pakatan Harapan's Youth wing said the Opposition should stop making excuses and putting on an act.
"If they do not dare to table the motion, or fail to pass it, they should accept the outcome.
"They should then play their role in providing checks and balances constructively and responsibly," it said in a statement on Friday (Aug 8).
The movement also expressed full support for the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) presented by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim last week.
"It is a national roadmap that emphasises value-based economic development, institutional reforms, and fair distribution for all Malaysians.
"AMH urges all MPs to debate the 13MP in a mature, professional and fact-based manner, and to put forward constructive criticism and suggestions.
"Comparing the plan solely based on its thickness without examining its contents is nothing more than cheap politics that does not benefit the country," it said.
AMH also urged Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh to issue an open apology to the entire disabled (OKU) community over his recent remarks, which it considered insensitive and shameful.
"AMH strongly condemns his statement insulting the OKU community in his response to critics.
"His remarks send the message that anyone who disagrees with his views deserves to be issued an OKU card.
"Using the OKU community as material for political jokes is a despicable and highly irresponsible form of discrimination," it said.
AMH added that it would travel nationwide to explain the government's reform agenda to the public through a series of tours, forums and dialogues, stressing the need for the government to stay connected to the people.
It also pledged to push for the abolition of the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 (AUKU) through its AUKU Abolition Committee led by AMH chief Woo Kah Leong, and expressed solidarity with PKR youth deputy chief Nabil Halimi, who was sued for RM1mil by PAS information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari.
"AMH is also committed to empowering young people, but hopes that the mechanism for implementing the age limit of 30 for youth will be improved in line with the needs of youth associations.
"AMH is concerned about the continuity of youth leadership and hopes that the policy will take into account socio-economic realities, the process of leadership capacity transition, and the inclusive involvement of all stakeholders, especially young people," it said.
