Rafizi exposes 3 PMX's PolSecs who proactively undermine perceived PKR ‘rabble-rousers'
Having had enough with a myriad of 'labelling' ranging from a reject by party grassroots, sour grape by stepping down as economy minister and most recently, accused of revolting to destroy his party, former PKR president Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli has taken to the social media to name his nemesis.
'The latest accusation comes from a person named Datuk Azman Abidin. You may wonder who is Azman Bidin,' penned the defiant Pandan MP on his Facebook page.
'He has great influence in PKR although many may not know him well. Therefore, I wish to introduce him today.'
According to Rafizi, Azman who is currently one of the three political secretaries (PolSec) to the Prime Minister (PM) has displayed a turncoat nature since the time of the late Selangor menteri besar (MB) Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.
'His greatness lies in no matter what happens in PKR's internal politics, he must be drawing a fat salary in the government,' chided Rafizi who alongside former natural resources and environmental sustainability minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad have been moved to the Dewan Rakyat backbench following their cabinet exit.
'When the late TS Khalid became MB, he was TS Khalid's strongman and was appointed as an MB officer during which he desperately rejected Azmin (former Selangor MB).
'But when Azmin became MB, he suddenly turned to support Azmin following which he was made an officer for Azmin.
'When Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim became PM, he suddenly became the PM's political secretary although we didn't see him much during the national campaign for GE15 (15th General Election).'
Rafizi went on to reveal that Azman who is currently the PKR Federal Territories interim chairman is part of PMX's PolSec trio who also comprised Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin and Chan Ming Kai 'who spent their time campaigning to remove PKR leaders thought to be not in line with them'.
'People are busy administering the country while they're busy strategising behind the scenes which culminated in Nurul Izzah Anwar contesting the for the PKR deputy president post (which she eventually defeated Rafizi who was the incumbent),' he chided.
'I can't wait to see Datuk Azman Bidin campaigning nationwide to get 80 parliamentary seats in the GE16 later with guidance from Ramanan (newly elected PKR vice-president and former MIC treasurer Datuk Seri Ramanan Ramakrishnan). God willing, Azman Bidin will herald a new era for PKR.'
Apparently, many commenters to Rafizi's latest exposé tended to agree that PMX is surrounded by bootlickers and apple-polishers who could eventually be a liability to both his premiership and PKR if he continues to throw caution to the wind.
In fact, one pointedly revealed two more PolSecs of PMX whom he accused of 'also being sent to do NGO work for PMX' – Ahmad Farhan Fauzi and PKR Youth chief Kamil Munim (PolSec to Finance Minister). – July 19, 2025

PKR Serian chief proposes new Bung Sadung state seat for fairer development
Senior William Rade KUCHING (July 24): A new state seat must be created in Serian Division to ensure equal development and fairer allocation of government funds, said Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Serian chief Senior William Rade. He proposed this new constituency be named Bung Sadung, after an iconic mountain in the Bidayuh-majority area, and strongly believed the location holds great potential for agrotourism and agricultural activities that could boost the local economy. He explained the proposed constituency should comprise villages surrounding Bung Sadung, those around the Padawan link road, and nearby villages. 'The villages in this proposed new constituency can number up to 50, and are mostly Bidayuh villages. Under a new constituency, these villages will benefit from more focused efforts to boost the local economy, including agrotourism. 'Also, with this new constituency, it is our hope there will be a township built there as the administrative centre and rural growth centre, which is also good for the local economy,' he said. Senior made these remarks when commenting on the recent passing of the Dewan Undangan Negeri (Composition of Membership) Bill, 2025 by the State Legislative Assembly (DUN), which paved the way for an increase in the number of state constituencies from 82 to 99. He said that the increase of 17 new seats should ensure there is no longer under-representation of the people, especially in constituencies which are vast in size. He also noted that the new constituency proposed by him would take up mostly villages which are currently in the Tebedu state constituency 'Look at it this way, these villages will benefit under bigger government funding, and a lot of development projects can be implemented when placed under this new constituency. For Tebedu, there can be more focus towards developing it as the Gateway to Sarawak, particularly since the Indonesian new capital city is being built in Kalimantan,' he said. He hoped the local leaders, professionals and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) will support the idea for this proposed new constituency and the name suggested for it. 'On the behalf of the people, I request the Election Commission (EC) will look into the matter seriously during the redelineation exercise. This is for the long-term growth of the area. 'The area is growing in population and number of settlements, and the people need a ADUN (assemblyman) to servs the rea effectively,' he said. If the idea is not materialised, he is worried that the people there will further miss out on development and financial spin-offs, as it will take up to another 10 years for another redelineation exercise to take place. 'We hope everyone can support this idea. Now it is the best opportunity to realise this new constituency, under this stable government led by PMX (current Prime Minister) Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim),' he added.

PKR Sibuti branch applauds Anwar's cost of living relief initiatives
Zulhaidah Suboh MIRI (July 24): Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Sibuti branch has lauded Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's recent announcement of several key initiatives to ease the rising cost of living, describing them as timely, inclusive, and beneficial to all Malaysians. Its deputy chief Zulhaidah Suboh said the introduction of the one-off RM100 cash assistance under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) programme for all Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above would provide immediate relief, particularly for lower-income groups. 'This form of individual-based assistance will directly improve household purchasing power. For instance, a household with four adult members would receive RM400,' she said in a statement yesterday. The assistance, which will be disbursed via MyKad, can be utilised from Aug 31 to Dec 31, this year. Zulhaidah also welcomed the government's decision to reduce the price of RON95 petrol to RM1.99 per litre for Malaysians—down from the current RM2.05—under a newly targeted subsidy mechanism, with full details to be announced by the end of September this year. 'This will significantly lower daily transport costs and help control the prices of essential goods, benefitting the rakyat as a whole,' she added. Zulhaidah also commended the government's decision to double the allocation for the Rahmah Madani Sales Programme to RM600 million, saying it would make affordable basic necessities more accessible to rural and remote communities. 'The increased allocation will widen access to essential goods at reasonable prices, especially for B40 and M40 households living in the rural and the interior,' she noted. She further expressed appredciation for the announcement of an additional public holiday on Sept 15 in conjunction with Malaysia Day celebrations. 'This holiday not only honours the spirit of unity and the nation's formation, but also encourages domestic family activities and tourism,' she said. Zulhaidah stressed that the initiatives announced by Anwar are not short-term populist measures, but part of a broader, balanced strategy aimed at supporting people's welfare while maintaining economic stability. 'These initiatives reflect a caring and practical approach that should be commended. We thank YAB Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the Unity Government for their continued commitment to building a Malaysia Madani.'
