No confidence move against Najib will be tough, says Rafizi

PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli telling reporters at the PKR headquarters today that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib and the Parliament Speaker are in control of whether any no-confidence motion is voted on. – The Malaysian Insider pic by Ahmad Muslim, October 14, 2015.Despite being one of the more vocal opposition leaders in pushing for a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, PKR secretary-general Rafizi Ramli today admitted that getting the motion through Parliament will be "difficult".

"We have to be realistic. It is not going to be easy," Rafizi told reporters at the PKR headquarters today.

Rafizi said that whether the motion of no confidence actually sees the light in Parliament is not within the opposition's control.

"We have to recalibrate the expectations. We don't want a situation where after Parliament, Najib is still in power, and people blame us," he said.

"We are not in control, Najib and the speaker is," he added.
