I will serve out my term, says Penang PKR exco man after Rafizi’s exit

GEORGE TOWN: A Penang PKR leader aligned with Rafizi Ramli says he will not step down as a state executive councillor following the former deputy president’s resignation from the Cabinet.

“When I am appointed… I must serve out my term,” Fahmi Zainol told reporters here.

“And I will fulfil that responsibility. I have no plans to resign,” the Penang PKR vice-chairman added.

The Pantai Jerejak assemblyman, who heads Penang’s agrotechnology, food security and cooperative development committee, lost in the recent PKR division-level polls.

Fahmi is one of two PKR exco members in the Penang government, the other being deputy chief minister I Mohamad Abdul Hamid.

Rafizi, who lost the PKR deputy president’s post to Nurul Izzah Anwar last week, resigned as economy minister yesterday.

The two-term Pandan MP said it would be inappropriate for a Cabinet post to be held by a non-party leader.

His resignation was followed by that of natural resources and environmental sustainability minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

Nik Nazmi, a two-term MP, failed to defend his position as Setiawangsa PKR chief in the party’s divisional polls as well as his vice-presidency.
