00:00PKR Deputy President Rafizi Ramli's decision to skip the party's upcoming Youth and Juanita

00:06Congress could tarnish his political career, two analysts say. Taufik Yakub of University Malaya

00:13and Maslan Ali of University Technology Malaysia also described Rafizi's decision as childish.

00:19Rafizi said he would skip the Youth and Juanita Assemblies, traditionally opened by the Deputy

00:24President, citing principles over politics, after a breach of party protocol after the Sabah

00:29PKR machinery launch. Taufik said Rafizi should be the bigger person and fulfill his responsibilities

00:35as the incumbent Deputy President, while Maslan said that as the party's No. 2, Rafizi should

00:41maintain cordial relations with all members. However, Azmi Hassan, a fellow of the National

00:47Council of Professors, disagreed with the notion that Rafizi is being childish and did not believe

00:52that he was sulking. Azmi said the decision by Rafizi, who has been critical of the party

00:57and some of its members while on the campaign trail, could also prevent any awkward situations

01:02like being booed on stage. Alluding to last month's division elections, where several of

01:07Rafizi's key allies lost, Azmi added that not many members of the wings are backing him.
