Accepting Tengku Zafrul into PKR opens door to uncertainty, The former party deputy president advises against it, saying it will be hard to draw a line on future movements between parties.
Rafizi is very fearful of him or his on reason lehh.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s outgoing Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli, who was defeated by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s daughter in his party’s internal elections, has declined an offer from her to serve as its second deputy president.


Rafizi, who failed to retain his deputy president post in the ruling Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) in a face-off with Nurul Izzah Anwar, said that her suggestion to create a second deputy president for him to fill was made at a meeting three days before party delegates cast their ballots in its central leadership elections on May 23.

“When Nurul Izzah met me the other day, she tried to propose the idea of appointing me as a deputy president (to serve alongside her), but whether it’s the deputy president or even the president’s position, I am not interested,” Rafizi told reporters at an event in Ampang on Sunday (Jun 1), reported local news outlet The Star.

“I had made it clear from the beginning that I would not accept any leadership position (if I lost). This is not about holding office,” he said, as quoted by the New Straits Times (NST).
