PARTI Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) will deliberate on whether to take disciplinary action against its former deputy president Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli, after a wave of complaints from party leaders over his outspoken criticism of both the government and party leadership.
PKR secretary-general Fuziah Salleh confirmed that the matter would be referred to the party’s disciplinary board.
"I will discuss (the matter) with the disciplinary board," New Straits Times quoted her saying when asked whether action would be taken.
The move follows growing concern among PKR state leaders, who warned that Rafizi’s remarks risk fuelling unnecessary controversy, spreading misleading narratives and undermining both government effectiveness and party stability.
Leaders from several states have openly criticised the Pandan Member of Parliament. Sarawak PKR secretary Mahmud Epah said the situation could no longer be taken lightly, suggesting Rafizi should consider leaving the party if his principles no longer aligned with it.
In Melaka, deputy chairman Mohd Khuzaire Mohd Kamal cautioned that Rafizi’s comments could erode party unity and weaken confidence in party president Anwar Ibrahim.
Kelantan PKR chairman Mohamad Suparadi Md Noor also warned that such remarks threatened internal cohesion, urging that differences be addressed through internal channels rather than in public.
In Johor, state leadership council chairman Zaliha Mustafa and her deputy Md Ysahrudin Kusni said in a joint statement that Rafizi’s actions went beyond ordinary disagreement and could disrupt party harmony.
Rafizi, who previously served as economy minister, defended his position over the weekend, insisting his criticisms were intended to correct weaknesses rather than undermine the party.
He maintained that the issues he raised were of national importance, particularly those concerning the credibility of public institutions such as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. - April 7, 2026
