“Don’t lump me in the same group as Tok Pa,” she was quoted as saying by Berita Harian today, referring to Mustapa.

“I am Rafidah Aziz. I decide what I want to do. I don’t follow others. I don’t care what they do, whether they leap like a frog or whatever. I am not joining PPBM because some fool is joining it,” said Rafidah, who was expelled from Umno before the May elections over her views condemning then prime minister Najib Razak.

Rafidah said she had joined the Pakatan Harapan campaign during the general election out of a desire to see a change in government, adding that at her age, she was no longer interested in positions.

“I am 75 years old. I have retired. Enough is enough,” said Rafidah, who had served under Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who is PPBM chairman, during his previous 22-year administration.
