00:00An UMNO Supreme Council member has slammed PKR Deputy President Rafizi Rumley for skipping

00:08yesterday's special parliamentary sitting on U.S. tariffs but attending a party meeting the day

00:13before. Rangit Assemblyman Buat Sarkashi urged Rafizi, the economy minister, to explain why he

00:21was taking a leave of absence from his ministerial duties. He said if Rafizi wants to protest against

00:28his party, he should quit as PKR Deputy President rather than allowing his ministry to be without

00:33its boss for so long, as it's the ministry that's more important. News of Rafizi's leave surfaced

00:40after Malaysia Keeney quoted an unnamed cabinet minister as confirming it but dismissing talk

00:45of his resignation. This came amid speculation over Rafizi's political standing, especially

00:52after the defeat of several apparent allies in PKR's recent divisional polls. Rafizi is

00:59expected to defend his position as PKR Deputy President in this month's central leadership

01:04elections. However, there is also speculation that he may be challenged by Saifuddin Nasir-Tiruan

01:09Ismail, who is the home minister.
