Rafizi Ramli's Resignation: Expert Assures No Threat to Malaysian Unity Government

Rafizi Ramli's Resignation: No Threat to PKR or Unity Government, Says Expert Malaysia's Economy Minister, Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli, announced his resignation on Wednesday, May 28th, 2025, effective June 17th. This unexpected move has sparked considerable discussion about its potential impact on the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and the stability of the unity government. However, Professor Madya Dr. Mazlan Ali, from the Faculty of Science and Humanities at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, offered a contrasting perspective. "The decision by Rafizi to resign is in line with his principles," stated Professor Ali, emphasizing that Rafizi's commitment to stepping down if unsuccessful in the PKR elections demonstrates integrity. This view suggests a potential positive interpretation of the event, counterbalancing concerns about political instability. The video further highlights discussions about the possibility of further negotiations before the official resignation date. While the resignation creates uncertainty, it also provides an opportunity for reflection and potential adjustments within the ruling coalition. The stability of the PKR and the broader unity government will be closely monitored in the coming weeks.
