00:00PKR has issued its former Deputy President Rafizi Ramli with a show-cause letter
00:05over a statement he made about intending to defend his parliamentary seat in the next general election,
00:12but not on a PKR ticket.
00:14In a Facebook post, Rafizi said the letter was issued by PKR Secretary-General Fuzia Saleh.
00:21The Pandan MP said his remarks were about his plans after parliament is dissolved and GE16 is called,
00:27insisting that he has not left PKR.
00:31Rafizi claimed that PKR wanted him to voluntarily leave the party so that his seat would be vacated,
00:37as sacking him would mean he gets to keep his seat.
00:41On Sunday, Rafizi reportedly told Sin Chiu that he would defend his Pandan parliamentary seat in GE16,
00:48but was unlikely to contest as a PKR candidate.
00:52He remained coy about his plans but said he would definitely not join a third force,
00:57set up a new party, or work with former UMNO Youth Chief Kairi Jamaluddin.
