00:00Former Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli has given his successor, Aqmal Nasir, three key reminders as he takes on the portfolio.
00:09Rafizi reminded his former officer that positions were temporary and that once entrusted with the job, he must give it his all and diligently carry out his responsibilities.
00:19He also urged Aqmal to ignore both his fawning supporters and fierce critics, saying only sincere work matters in the end.
00:28Rafizi endorsed the Johor Bahru MP for his former cabinet post, describing the PKR leader as persistent, shrewd and hardworking, having worked with him since 2009.
00:40Analysts say the appointments of Aqmal and Ledang MP Saeed Ibrahim Saeed Noh reflect Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's effort to maintain factional balance within PKR after Rafizi's resignation as Economy Minister after his party's election defeat.
00:57Candid Saeed Anwar was being intentional about not sidelining any group in his party by still giving those aligned with Rafizi space in his cabinet.
