Tengku Zafrul dismisses by-election rumours after Umno exit
KUALA LUMPUR: Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz has dismissed speculation linking him to a potential candidacy in any upcoming by-election, whether at federal or state level, following his decision to leave Umno and apply to join PKR. The investment, trade and industry minister said he does not support the idea of triggering by-elections unnecessarily, as doing so would cost the people valuable time and public funds. "I wish to clarify that no such discussions (participation in by-elections) have ever taken place, and this was not part of my consideration in making this decision. "I fundamentally disagree with the idea of triggering by-elections without pressing necessity, as they also involve the time and money of the people," he said in a Facebook post. Tengku Zafrul said he would continue to serve in his role as a senator until the end of his term in December 2025. "As for my position as a minister, I leave this entirely to the discretion of the prime minister. I am always ready to serve the country in any capacity. "I left the corporate world with the intention of serving, and as long as my service is needed, I am willing to contribute without the need for any position." He also said that his decision to withdraw from Umno and submit an application to join PKR was a personal choice made without coercion. "I admit, it was not an easy decision, but I have considered all views and opinions given to me very carefully. "In a society that practises democracy, every individual has the right to make personal choices, and I truly appreciate all the views and acceptance of this decision." Tengku Zafrul also extended his appreciation to the Umno leadership and grassroots, particularly the Kota Raja division, for their support during his time in the party. On May 30, Tengku Zafrul announced his resignation from all posts in Umno, including his party membership. He has also expressed his intention to join PKR. He said, after much self-reflection and consideration of various factors, he decided to do so due to "compatibility and suitability." Tengku Zafrul is currently serving his second term in the Dewan Negara. Some Umno leaders have criticised Tengku Zafrul for quitting the party with the intention to join another party within the unity coalition. PKR secretary-general Dr Fuziah Salleh has said that the party will take into account various views, including that of its partners in the unity government, in deciding on Tengku Zafrul's membership application.
