"Investigation driven by political motives," lamented Rafizi Ramli, a former Minister of Economy, regarding the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The Pandan MP has ties to the Silicon Vision Program and the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), leading to his own speculation that there are factors aiming to undermine him. He emphasized that retaliation strikes occurred following his public request for the suspension of MACC chief commissioner, Tan Sri Azam Baki.
Rafizi Ramli's comments in the mainstream media evidently led to misconceptions, particularly among the youth often referred to as the young-too-lazy-to-read. The same collective that established street democracy to oust Azam Baki on February 15 in SOGO, Kuala Lumpur. (I’m curious about the source of their funding for this demonstration?)
It began with the company established by Rafizi Ramli, Invoke Solutions Sdn Bhd, which had been 'raided two times in a single day'.
November 16, 2022 - The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) conducted a second raid on Invoke Solutions Sdn Bhd within a single day. Rafizi Ramli then characterized the raid as a form of political persecution:
"I understand what is happening and Barisan Nasional (BN) also understands that they will lose the general election. This is why, during the last three days of the campaign, they are desperate to find political ammunition. All because I was at the forefront of the (Pakatan Harapan) election campaign against Umno, BN and Perikatan Nasional. I understand that the motive for this investigation is to find something before polling day, thinking that they can attack me and attract public support," said Rafizi Ramli.

A similar statement was made by the Former Deputy President of the "People's Justice Party" (PKR) 'at that time' and 'now' blaming Azam Baki. Interestingly, Rafizi once revealed that he had more than RM 2 million in cash at the age of 30, the purpose of which was to use the money for a 'start-up company' to accumulate assets of RM18.9 million.
"At the age of 26, my starting salary at Petronas was RM3,750. After six months, I was confirmed as a manager and my salary increased to RM11,000 a month and a year later, I was promoted to Head of Petrochemical Planning Division and at the age of 27, I earned RM25,000 a month," said Rafizi on November 7, 2022.

Rafizi has also asserted that the leadership of the Anwar Ibrahim government, which launched both policies, has used them as evidence of his administration's economic planning. The draft agreement with ARM was reviewed and approved by the Attorney General's Chambers before being tabled and approved by the Cabinet.
He added that the claim that the agreement was concluded in a hurry and not in the government's favor seems to imply that he has "deceived" the entire Cabinet, ministers and senior government officials involved in the agreement, and the Attorney General.
The question is, will PMX dare or not to kick Rafizi Ramli out of PKR? or When will PKR kick Rafizi?
However, Rafizi said "it is just a false allegation". Rafizi stated that he has 'sniffed' out a plan to bring him down and considering legal action against the individuals involved. He said both initiatives are being implemented through other agencies — the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority for Silicon Vision, and private sector companies such as UEM Lestra for renewable energy projects under NETR (I am also confused by Rafizi's statement). No wonder Rafizi was defeated by Nurul Izzah in the PKR 2025 leadership election. Once attributing fault to Barisan Nasional (BN), now attributing fault to PKR President Anwar Ibrahim. Azam Baki, who was currently on duty, was the one who was 'scolded'.
