Rafizi Ramli Failed as Minister, Lost Deposits with New Party: AMK

The youth wing of the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (AMK) has intensified its criticism of former PKR Deputy President Rafizi Ramli. AMK accuses him of being a primary reason for Pakatan Harapan's (PH) losses in the recent Johor state election.

“

When he was a minister, he did nothing as promised before GE15 until the label of failed minister stuck to him, and after leaving PKR and forming the Kancil party, that effort continued to fail when all candidates with Bersama lost their deposits.

AMK executive council member Amira Alias stated that Rafizi's "failed minister" label continues to dog him, leading to a more embarrassing defeat where all candidates from his new party, "Parti Kancil," lost their deposits, estimated at RM120,000. She suggested this failure might make Rafizi realize he is not always right and others can be correct.

Earlier, another AMK executive, Dzul Hilmi Zainol, claimed that Barisan Nasional's (BN) victory in Johor was partly influenced by Parti Bersama's actions, alleging it split PH votes as revenge against PKR. DAP leader Tony Pua had previously noted that PH seats like Perling, Stulang, and Bukit Batu were affected by Parti Bersama's participation.

Perhaps now Rafizi can understand that he is not always right and not everything others do is wrong.

Amira further argued that a struggle without clear goals, driven solely by revenge, is futile and damages Rafizi's reputation in local politics. She advised young individuals considering running under the Parti Bersama ticket in future elections to carefully consider the significant implications for their political future.

So, for those, especially young people who want to contest on the Bersama ticket in the upcoming PRN or GE, I advise them to think carefully because it involves a bigger future.
