Leadership
The delayed movement of ProWaris can be attributed to Malaysia's struggling economy and conflicting interests between the government and its people. Its leadership attempted to raise a third voice—in order to influence the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party—a voice similar to the leadership of Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad; who was more inline with the ex-prime minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed.[1] ProWaris demanded that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi resign based on his weak leadership.[2][3]
Its president, Feriz Omar, was said to have accused the Malays of lacking the courage to confront the country's leadership issues.[4] Feriz Omar denied making such statements.[5]
