“If we see Rafizi’s records in Invoke and exposing mega scandals under the Umno-led Barisan Nasional government, we should take him along [with the party],’’ Anwar said during his winding-up speech at the during the 13th PKR National Congress here.
When asked in a press conference later on what role Rafizi would play, Anwar said he was still undecided over the matter.
