In the run-up to the congress, they have differed over whether Pakatan Harapan (PH) should have a big tent to include other parties.While Anwar has kept an open-door policy, Rafizi has firmly refused to work with non-PH parties after Bersatu brought down the federal government in 2020 by withdrawing from the coalition.But while Rafizi’s direct and public criticism of the big tent proposal fuelled the speculation, the younger man was quick to point to their long relationship.He said he went all around the country to campaign for PH.“We knew that the only way to free Anwar was to win the elations. Not the rhetoric of breaking prison walls,” he said bluntly.Explaining his position, Rafizi confessed that he was blunt and direct in his criticism because he did not harbour any ambitions.“After a long time, I met Anwar last year and he asked if I would take a position in Putrajaya if there was a chance. I didn’t answer as I am not interested.“When Pakatan won in 2018, I also did not take up any position. I do not regret this as it is my choice.“If I criticise the party, I do it because we have a responsibility to the voters and the party. That’s my promise. I will always talk like this,” he added. – July 17, 2022.推荐入坑，别犹豫
