PETALING JAYA: Saifuddin Nasution has defended PKR’s past attempts at wooing MPs from rival parties to support Anwar Ibrahim’s bid to be prime minister, saying it did not amount to an endorsement of party hopping.
The party’s secretary-general said other friendly MPs could provide support for Anwar without the need to switch parties.
“We (the opposition) sought support from other parties as we needed at least 112 MPs to form a government. However, we didn’t ask them to switch parties but merely provide additional support for Anwar (to become prime minister),” he said in an interview with FMT.
