Nurul Izzah: Win or lose, Rafizi remains my friend
JOHOR BARU: Nurul Izzah Anwar said Rafizi Ramli would remain her friend regardless of the outcome of their contest for the PKR deputy presidency. Nurul Izzah is challenging Rafizi, who is seeking to defend the post in this year's party elections. "Whether I win or lose, it won't affect our friendship. Rafizi has been my friend not only in the past, but now and always. "Our methods may differ – different mechanisms and different approaches – but if you want to be a leader, you have to put ego aside and accept challenges," she said in her speech at the 'Bersama Membina Parti Kita' grand finale this evening. In the PKR Congress election tomorrow, Nurul Izzah and Rafizi will go head-to-head for the deputy presidency, a post Rafizi won in 2022. Nurul Izzah also urged those who lost or chose not to contest to support the leadership for the sake of the party's unity, rather than sow division from within. She said she had no issue with being a follower of the current leadership after choosing not to contest in the previous election. "I've already played my role as a supporter, I didn't contest in the last election. "So I hope for the same spirit when it's my turn to lead. "We need to keep working together. Let's not get too caught up with who's on top. What's wrong with embracing decisions made collectively? "Look at my track record – I've contested four times in Malay-majority areas and, Alhamdulillah, I won three times. I may stay quiet and not speak much, but believe me, I will fight to the end," she said. Recently, Rafizi has been vocal and firm in his criticisms of several party leaders over what he claims are weaknesses in leadership discipline and accountability.

Rafizi sounds alarm over decline in Chinese support for PH
KULIM: Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli has raised concerns about a decline in support for PKR and Pakatan Harapan (PH) among Chinese voters, a trend he believes could have significant repercussions in the next general election. Referring to internal data and the outcome of the 15th General Election, the PKR deputy president said that a considerable portion of Chinese voters who previously supported PH no longer intended to vote. "We should be concerned about support from Chinese voters. Within just two years of PH being in power, more than half of Chinese respondents openly stated they would no longer vote for PH or PKR. They're simply choosing to stay at home," he said. Rafizi cited Kulim as a prime example, stressing that it was a seat PH should not have lost. "A seat like Kulim, which we should never have lost, suddenly turned into a Malay-majority seat due to this shift," he said during the Jelajah Hiruk campaign event here yesterday. He also noted a similar trend among Indian voters, with support for PH dropping by 38 per cent, according to internal party findings. Rafizi, who is also Economy Minister, acknowledged that the ruling coalition must recognise the growing frustration on the ground, particularly as fence-sitters continue to scrutinise the unity government's performance. Commenting on recent by-election results, he said that vote transfers between PH and Barisan Nasional (BN), the two partners in the unity government, were not materialising as expected. "Umno voters are choosing PN, while PH voters have supported BN in contests where it's BN versus PN. But when it's PH versus PN, BN voters are going to PN," he said. Rafizi said these trends should encourage PKR to rethink its approach and reconnect with the people. "I believe this is a sign of political maturity. Instead of holding closed-door events in hotels and instructing branches to bring 40 people just to take group selfies, we need to do more," he added. "We may feel good about ourselves within the party, but we are increasingly disconnected from the people." Rafizi is defending his position as PKR deputy president in the upcoming party elections later this month, where he faces a direct contest against long-time ally Nurul Izzah Anwar. Nurul Izzah is believed to have strong grassroots support, with several party divisions already pledging their backing for her in the race for the number two post.
