In Open Letter Rafizi Hopes Kj Remains With Umno

---

Former PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli has urged Khairy Jamaluddin to remain with Umno in order to forge a credible opposition
In an open letter to Khairy, Rafizi said that a country without a strong opposition would be prone to abuses and Malaysia has experienced this over six decades
"The next few days, weeks and months might be difficult for you, my brother, and for your comrades who are sincere in helping the people through Umno
"Have faith that if you, my brother, were driven by service and the interest of the rakyat, the (defections from) Umno will only strengthen the party," wrote Rafizi
Rafizi said many youths looked up to Khairy as the person who could make Malaysia better and bring forth a better future
"Because of this, you must remain in Umno and continue to speak up so that Umno can be an effective opposition party," wrote Rafizi
In response, Khairy jokingly wrote on Twitter that Rafizi was being a bit of a "diva" and that he should discuss such matters over lunch instead of penning an open letter
