PKR Central Election Committee refutes Rafizi's claim on vendor appointment
JOHOR BAHRU: The PKR Central Election Committee has denied deputy president Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli's claim that the vendor's appointment to manage the party's election system was not discussed. PKR Central Election Committee chairman Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa said Rafizi attended the discussion on the appointment of the vendor and auditor held by PKR's Political Bureau and the Central Leadership Council. "During the discussion, Rafizi did not raise any objections regarding appointing the vendor responsible for the voting system. Most of the concerns were about the auditor's appointment. Nothing was said about the vendor. "Why is the vendor appointment being questioned after we've already completed divisional-level elections?" she said in a video posted on her Facebook page on Tuesday (May 20). Speaking at the Jelajah Hidupkan Idealisme Reformasi Dalam Ujian Kuasa in Perak on Monday (May 19), Rafizi, who serves as the Economy Minister, alleged that the vendor managing the party's electoral system was appointed secretly without being discussed by the PKR's Political Bureau. Dr Zaliha, also Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), emphasised that the PKR Central Election Committee should not be dragged into conflicts among candidates contesting in the party's elections for the 2025-2028 term. She said the committee is an independent body dedicated to ensuring the voting process runs smoothly, in line with the principles of fair and transparent democracy. "We will ensure that the election process during the congress (PKR Annual Congress) proceeds smoothly. InsyaAllah, we will continue to uphold a fair, clean and transparent process conducted with integrity," she said. "Campaign healthily and maturely, present your strengths, and demonstrate what you can contribute for the good of the party and to ensure the party remains relevant," she added. The 2024/2025 PKR Annual Congress, including the congresses for Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) and Wanita PKR, will take place from May 22 to 24, with voting scheduled for May 23. - Bernama

Sarawak ban may be reinstated if I no longer hold Cabinet, PKR posts, says Rafizi
Rafizi speaks at PKR's 25th Anniversary Special Convention at IDCC Shah Alam April 21, 2024. – Malay Mail photo KUCHING (May 18): Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli believes he may be banned from entering Sarawak again if he no longer holds a position in the Cabinet and in Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), where he is the incumbent deputy president. He was cited by Berita Harian as saying that before being appointed as a minister in the Unity Government, he was already banned from entering Sarawak. As such, he said it is not impossible that the ban could be reinstated if he no longer holds positions in the party and Cabinet. 'I was only allowed to enter Sarawak when I was appointed as a minister two years ago. 'If I am no longer a minister or PKR deputy president, I think I will not be allowed to enter Sarawak again,' he said during the 'Hidupkan Idealisme Reformasi dalam Ujian Kuasa (Hiruk)' Tour at the Penview Convention Centre (PCC) here last night. According to Berita Harian, Rafizi and several leaders from PKR and Democratic Action Party (DAP) faced a ban on entering Sarawak since 2014, but the ban was lifted after the formation of the Unity Government. Meanwhile, Bernama, reporting from the same event, cited Rafizi as saying that PKR members in Sarawak must view the current political situation in the state as an opportunity to regroup and strengthen themselves for future challenges. He pointed out that given Sarawakians' current preference for the existing state government, party members should use this period as an opportunity to 'invest' in cultivating a new generation of party leaders. 'This low point in our political cycle is a good time for us to invest in the party's future. Use this period to develop new talent because the cycle will turn, and our time will come,' he said. Rafizi also said that based on PKR's performance in past elections in Sarawak, the party has shown potential to win at least three parliamentary seats in the future. In the 15th General Election (GE15), PKR successfully retained the Miri parliamentary seat for the third consecutive terms since GE13 in 2013. Rafizi noted that PKR had previously won the Selangau and Puncak Borneo parliamentary seats and narrowly lost the Kanowit seat in GE15. ban enter lead pkr post rafizi ramli
