Wan Hasifi said that, if given the opportunity, one of his initiatives would be to develop a group-buying app for essential items, which could offer party members savings of up to 20% each month.

“Additionally, I will expand the PKR student clubs network, both locally and internationally, to strengthen youth participation in politics through education and career networking,” he said in a statement.

He plans to start his efforts in Moscow, believing that his experience as a former student leader there gives him an advantage in understanding the needs of the students.

Wan Hasifi also said his decision to venture into politics was aimed at engaging with young people and bringing change to the political landscape.

He said that most young people today perceive politics as irrelevant to their daily lives, with some even holding negative views of politicians.

“Therefore, we need to approach them with practical solutions that provide direct benefits to the people, especially the young. When politics is seen as a tool to alleviate life’s burdens, their interest will surely grow,” he said.

He added that PKR represents the hope of the people in achieving reforms, though he acknowledged that this agenda requires a lengthy process, potentially taking decades.

PKR is to hold its party elections after the current leadership’s mandate ends in May next year.
