Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s senior political secretary Shamsul Iskandar Akin has been urged to stop persuading Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad to stay in the cabinet.

Calling the attempt hypocritical, Tuaran PKR division chief Razeef Rakimin pointed out that Shamsul was among the earliest to voice support for Nurul Izzah Anwar to challenge Rafizi for the deputy presidency in the recent party election.
