PETALING JAYA: Social media influencer “Lim Sian See” is looking forward to being grilled by economy minister Rafizi Ramli when he appears on the latter’s podcast in two months’ time.
When contacted, “Lim” said Rafizi’s camp had reached out to him last week to set an appointment.
While no specific date was set, it would be in early August, “Lim” said.
“This time I made sure they were specific about me appearing this year,” he said, alluding to remarks by his followers, made in jest, about him being invited to the podcast only after Ramadan next year.
On Feb 19, Rafizi had said he wanted to invite “Lim”, Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi and former Umno Supreme Council member Isham Jalil to his podcast as he was keen to hear their ideas on revitalising the economy.
Rafizi also said he wanted to “unveil the person behind the persona who was in charge of the campaign defending 1MDB”, the scandal-plagued state investment arm.
On March 5, however, Rafizi told “Lim” to wait until after Ramadan to arrange for an appearance on his podcast, after “Lim” said he was still waiting for Rafizi’s camp to get in touch with him about the matter and questioned the delay.
Rafizi had then said he had been on medical leave until March 1 following a spinal operation two weeks earlier, and that he had a lot to catch up on.
On April 17, “Lim” reminded Rafizi of the invitation.
Today, “Lim” said he hoped there would be no more delays.
“I have got a lot to ask and I hope we can clear the air,” he said, stressing that he was not out to pick a fight with Rafizi. - FMT
