Though the duo may have their policy differences, PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli said he likes party deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali as a person.

"Do we have to kiss each other? No. Do we have to work together? Yes.

"I like him, yes. I have policy differences (with Azmin) on certain things. That doesn't mean that I have to hate somebody whom I disagree with," Rafizi, who is also the Pandan MP, said in an interview with Malaysiakini at his service centre in his constituency yesterday.

He cited the examples of Selangor Umno chief Noh Omar and Umno's Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin as people he also disagreed with but actually liked.

"I don't have to agree with what they say, but I like them as persons," he insisted.

Rafizi explained that he and Azmin (right) have separate tasks to focus on, and that if everyone in the team could deliver their parts, it would benefit the rakyat.

He also revealed that the decision for him to lodge a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) against the Selangor government for alleged corruption was actually a party decision.

According to him, this was endorsed by Azmin, who is the Selangor menteri besar, as part of the party's political bureau.

Back in May, when Rafizi had brought up allegations that money and women were sought in negotiations with the Selangor government, Azmin had dismissed them as a smear campaign.

Last Thursday, the government announced that the MACC had found no proof on Rafizi's 'sex and cash' claims.

Rafizi also denied that he was a "lone ranger" within the party.

"I have very strong (political and grassroots) support in PKR. I cannot be a maverick within the party and (be) against BN at the same time.

"I don't go around and flounce it (my support) because it's not professional. I am definitely not a lone ranger, otherwise I won't be this confident about everything I do," he said.

The Pandan MP may be facing jail time as the decision on his charges under the Official Secrets Act (OSA) will be delivered on Monday.

He has been charged under Section 8(1)(c)(iii) and 8(1)(c)(iv) of the Official Secrets Act (OSA) - one charge for the possession of Page 98 of the Auditor-General’s Report on 1MDB without authorisation; and another charge for the unauthorised disclosure of the document.

The charge under Section 8(1)(c)(iii) of the Act provides for a jail term of up to seven years, if found guilty, while Section 8(1)(c)(iv) of the same Act also provides for a maximum seven-year jail term, upon conviction.

An MP fined more than RM2,000 or sentenced to more than one year in prison would lose his or her seat in the Dewan Rakyat and be barred from contesting for a seat for five years.
