PKR sec-gen Fuziah to officiate PKR youth, women's wings congresses
JOHOR BARU: Speculation on who would officiate the PKR Youth and PKR Wanita congresses in Johor Baru on Thursday (May 22) has been resolved after PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh confirmed to Astro Awani that she would be taking on the responsibility. The Malay language portal also reported that although it was customary for the party deputy president to officiate the congresses of both wings, the incumbent, Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli, had earlier confirmed he would not attend. Quoting online reports, Astro Awani reported that Fuziah had said the responsibility for officiating the congresses was given to her because other senior leaders were involved in the central leadership council (MPP) elections. Although Rafizi confirmed he would not be officiating at the congress for these wings, he will still be in Johor Baru on May 20 for the final Hiruk series before attending the PKR national elections and congress on May 23 and 24. Rafizi's campaign goes by the acronym Hiruk, which stands for Hidupkan Idealisme Reformasi Dalam Ujian Kuasa (Reviving Reform Idealism in a Test of Power).

Rafizi shares list of aligned candidates ahead of PKR polls
PETALING JAYA: PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli took to Facebook on Wednesday (May 21) to release a list of candidates aligned with his campaign in Friday's (May 23) PKR central leadership polls. Rafizi's campaign goes by the acronym Hiruk, which stands for Hidupkan Idealisme Reformasi Dalam Ujian Kuasa (Reviving Reform Idealism in a Test of Power). In his Facebook post, Rafizi listed three vice-presidents who are defending their posts, including Negri Sembilan Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harum, Chang Lih Kang (Science, Technology and Innovation Minister) and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister) as well as Manivanan Gowin, who is contesting the fourth elected vice-president post. Other on the list include Subang MP Wong Chen, Deputy Energy Transition and Public Water Transformation Minister Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir, Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung and Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail, who is vying for the PKR Wanita chief's post with incumbent Fadhlina Sidek (who is also Education Minister). "Our challenge today is to choose a leader who is able to stick to the ideals of reform, even when tested by power," Rafizi said in his post. He also added that over the past few weeks, he had received a variety of insights and messages from PKR grassroots members who want a strong leadership line-up with a reformative spirit and not just in pursuit of power or position.
