Rafizi says Anwar’s appeal to ‘old guard’ may not be aimed at him or Nik Nazmi

PARTI Bersama Malaysia (Bersama) de facto leader Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli believes Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s appeal for former PKR leaders and activists to return to the party was likely directed at other figures rather than himself or...

Bersama Malaysia's de facto leader, Rafizi Ramli, expressed his uncertainty about Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's appeal to former PKR leaders and activists to return to the party. Rafizi, a former PKR deputy president, stated that he does not believe the appeal was directed at him or Bersama co-founder Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad. He claimed to be "young," suggesting he does not fit the category of "old guard" mentioned in Anwar's speech at the PKR National Congress.

Rafizi also dismissed the possibility that Anwar intended to include him and Nik Nazmi when referring to the party's "old guard." Instead, he suggested that Anwar's remarks were likely aimed at groups such as Tian Chua, Dr Xavier Jayakumar, and former Azmin Ali associates. Rafizi emphasized Bersama's long-term strategy, focusing on building its strength from the grassroots rather than seeking political power in the short term.

He emphasized that Bersama must develop independently, without relying on others' strength, to have a meaningful impact on the people.
