Former opposition leader and PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim wants the people to concentrate on institutional reforms for the country, not just on a change of the prime minister.

Anwar said this while being led away by Prisons Department guards, when asked whether the change in the leadership of Najib Abdul Razak as prime minister would be sufficient.

"I hope Malaysians will continue to push for institutional reforms, a change in the judiciary system and most paramount the Election Commission, and other genuine changes.

"Not only a change of personalities," he said while the prisons officers shouted, "No press conference" when leading the former opposition leader away outside the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.

Anwar warned that the change in the country must be citizens' effort and not a change dictated by the elites.

However, he did not name the 'elites' he was referring to.

Yesterday saw Anwar’s former nemesis Dr Mahathir Mohamad, PKR deputy president Azmin Ali and DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang continuously calling for Najib's resignation as a result of the state of affairs of the country and Najib’s implication in the RM2.6 billion donation scandal.

All three spoke at the gathering, which in all saw 19 speakers, including the organiser and former de facto law minister Zaid Ibrahim.

Mahathir, who was Malaysia's longest-serving prime minister, for 22 years, said he was prepared to drive in lorry to take the Citizens' Declaration to Istana Negara in order to remove Najib.
