In a post on X this evening, he said he thought he was feeling the heat from the hot weather, but it turned out that PKR politics were getting heated at all levels, be it at conventions or annual meetings.

He said watching murder mysteries would help in learning how to spot the real villains, who usually appeared to be the “good guys” in the beginning.

He did not make reference to any incident in particular. However, earlier today, Rafizi had survived an attempt at his Pandan division to unseat him as the division chief, while news reports said there had been heated exchanges at the Johor PKR assembly in a clash of views over Rafizi.

Rafizi survived the Pandan confidence vote by an eight-vote margin, with some 42 division members voting against the motion to sack or suspend him as division chief, while 34 voted in favour.

A source told FMT that the two-term MP did not attend the meeting, while Pandan PKR Youth deputy chief Haqimi Zamri said the motion was tabled by members who wanted to wrest control of the division from Rafizi.

Last night, PKR central leadership council member A Kumaresan urged Rafizi to resign and accused the former minister of trying to weaken the party from within.

In response, Rafizi wondered why his detractors were providing him with “political ammunition” every week. “Without political ammunition I would be creating content about my cats – but unfortunately for my cats there are a lot of political content.”

Yesterday, Rafizi warned against calls for him to leave PKR, saying it would allow him to be even more outspoken and “dangerous” to the party. He has been openly critical of the government and PKR since he lost the race for the party’s deputy presidency and relinquishing the economy minister’s post in May last year.
