Rafizi Ramli Resumes Duties, Quashing Resignation Speculation

Speculation about Malaysian Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli's potential resignation has been dispelled after he returned to work following a brief leave. Rafizi, who is also PKR’s deputy president, was seen resuming his official duties, including attending meetings with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and other ministers. The rumors of his resignation emerged amid internal party tensions and the recent PKR divisional election results, with some reports suggesting he had expressed intentions to step down. However, multiple sources confirmed his return to office, and Prime Minister Anwar downplayed the situation, emphasizing that Rafizi's leave was only for a few days. While Rafizi has not issued a formal explanation, his resumption of duties has effectively ended the immediate speculation over his resignation. He is also expected to defend his position in the upcoming PKR central leadership elections.
