Fadhlina fires back at Rafizi, defends work as minister

SELAYANG: Education minister Fadhlina Sidek has hit back at her PKR colleague Rafizi Ramli, who had criticised her ministry for apparently failing to come up with any “major policy framework” since the government’s formation.

Fadhlina said every major policy and reform planned for the education ministry had been thoroughly discussed at Cabinet meetings, chaired by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

“We have already tabled the major policy matters, including reforms we want to carry out.

“So there’s no such thing as us not doing anything, because everything has already been discussed at the Cabinet meetings,” the Wanita PKR chief told reporters after an event here.

Rafizi was part of the Cabinet until June 17.

On Friday, Rafizi parried criticism over his resignation as economy minister, saying his critics should train their guns on the education ministry instead for not introducing any major policy framework after two-and-a-half years.

The former PKR deputy president argued that he had completed most of his key initiatives during his tenure, including the 13th Malaysia Plan, energy transition, labour market reforms, progressive wage policy, fiscal reforms, targeted subsidies and digital government initiatives.

Fadhlina had defended her post as Wanita PKR chief in the party’s elections last month, defeating Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail, who was aligned with Rafizi.

Rafizi meanwhile lost the PKR deputy presidency to Nurul Izzah Anwar.
