FMT:
I have plans, Rafizi says in first message after resignation
The former PKR deputy president says for now, he is busy responding to messages and engaging with social media users
Former PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli said he wants to wait for the situation to ‘cool off’.
PETALING JAYA: Rafizi Ramli, who resigned as the economy minister this week following his defeat at the PKR polls, says he has plans for the future which he will reveal later on.
The former PKR deputy president also said that his resignation was still a hot topic on X.
“I do have plans on what I want to focus on, but I want to wait for the situation to cool off,” he said on the micro-blogging site.
He said for now, he was busy responding to messages and engaging with social media users.
“The country’s real potential is the public. We have to go back to harnessing this potential,” he said.
Rafizi resigned two days ago in keeping with his promise that he would step down as a minister if he was not re-elected as PKR deputy president. He was defeated by Nurul Izzah Anwar at the party polls last weekend.
The two-term Pandan MP had said it would be inappropriate for a Cabinet post to be held by someone who was not a member of the party’s central leadership.
His resignation will take effect on June 17.
Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, who likewise resigned as the natural resources and environmental sustainability minister after failing to defend his PKR vice-presidency, said yesterday that he and Rafizi would remain loyal to the party.
His post on X followed a viral text message claiming that 11 MPs from the party were retracting their support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the PKR president.
