As a platform promoting democratic and human rights ideals in Malaysia, Sahabat Rakyat Working Committee, after careful deliberation at its regular monthly meeting held on 28 June 2026, adopted the following resolution and hereby releases it to the public:
To all our electors:
Leave alone the old guard!
Give full support to Kancils and Reformers!
We are against "injustice and inequality"!
We are for "multi-culturalism and democracy" !
The meeting also resolved that, in order to help voters across the country and the wider online community better understand the above recommendation, we will republish two sets of documents which we previously issued (1) Our Understanding of Anwar Ibrahim and PKR; (2) Our Positions on the 2008 General Election (GE12) and Subsequent General, State, and By-Elections.
