00:00PKR Deputy President Rafizi Romney has suggested that candidacy for PKR elections be restricted

00:08to those who have been with the party for a minimum of five years.

00:12Rafizi, who will be defending his deputy presidency this weekend, said such a condition would

00:17improve party discipline and ensure loyalty.

00:20He said the current system allowed newcomers to jump straight into leadership roles, sometimes

00:25with the approval of the party president.

00:27Rafizi added that members who wanted positions in the party should start from the bottom.

00:33In a veiled swipe at R Ramanan, who is vying for the vice presidency, he said those who

00:37resign from MIC should not, six months later, be allowed to contest a parliamentary seat

00:43in the general election and subsequently be made a deputy minister.

00:47Ramanan, a former MIC treasurer-general, joined PKR in 2020 after quitting the Indian-based

00:53party in 2014.

00:55The Sungai Bulo MP, who is the deputy entrepreneur development and cooperatives minister, has

01:00publicly endorsed Rafizi's competitor, Nurul Iza Anwar, for the deputy presidency.

01:05Rafizi said the growing tension in the party was due to a clash between longtime reformists

01:10and those who were after posts and claimed that there were efforts to block his path to the

01:14top post.

01:15me can do that.

01:17Thanks for listening, Ben.

01:21Take care.
