MELAKA: Hang Tuah Jaya PKR division chief Rafee Ibrahim says he will not be sour grapes for not being fielded as a candidate in the 15th General Election (GE15).
Instead, he said would fully support PKR youth chief Adam Adli Abd Halim who has been nominated by the party leadership to contest the Hang Tuah Jaya parliamentary constituency.
“Please don’t listen to hypocrites within the party and outside who have grabbed the opportunity to spread unfounded statements on the selection of the candidate for the seat," he said after holding a press conference to explain on the issue of discontentment at the grassroots over the choice of candidate for the seat on Sunday .“I will continue putting in my effort for the party and we won’t accept the ‘Bersatu episode’ here, we are all standing united.
