00:00 Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli's defence of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim holding the finance

00:07 portfolio has been heavily criticised by experts who fear it could lead to potential abuse

00:12 of power.

00:14 Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism CEO Pushpen Murugia underscored the need to maintain

00:19 a clear separation between the Finance Ministry and the Prime Minister's office due to the

00:24 considerable influence wielded by both.

00:28 Pushpen urged the government to draw lessons from previous scandals like 1MDB to prevent

00:33 the recurrence of similar abuses of power.

00:36 Recently, Rafizi rejected Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin's assertion that the positions

00:41 of Finance Minister and Prime Minister should not be held by the same person.

00:47 According to Bersatu Youth Chief Wan Ahmad Faizal Wan Ahmad Kamal, Rafizi's remarks were

00:51 indicative of the government's inability to implement reforms PKR had previously called

00:56 for when they were in opposition.

01:00 Passers-Pendang MP Awang Solahuddin Hashim concurred, pointing out that Rafizi had previously

01:05 criticised Najib for holding dual portfolios.
