My take on Rafizi's fate in PKR

Rafizi’s return to private life was entirely predictable. As most people know, principled individuals rarely endure long in politics. The level of backstabbing and fitnah within any political party is beyond imagination—a relentless culture of crabs in a basket, always scheming to drag someone down.

        Many of us anticipated Nurul Izzah Anwar’s victory in the election, setting the stage for the next political manoeuvre—one that will soon unfold. Over the next two years, expect a barrage of attacks aimed at both Anwar Ibrahim and Nurul, from within their own ranks as well as external forces.

        Make no mistake—political adversaries do not merely challenge from the outside; they infiltrate, working to dismantle the party from within. Rafizi saw this coming but failed to resist it, proving that he was not yet ready for the role of Prime Minister.

        Since Anwar assumed office, the assault against him has been relentless from all directions. One of his fiercest enemies from 1998 has been Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the late Daim Zainuddin. 

        The reason is simple—those who thrived on the gravy train now find their access to easy wealth abruptly cut off. Many civil servants caught in bribery and corruption charges will undoubtedly fight back.
