KUALA LUMPUR – Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed his bewilderment that Attorney-General Tan Sri Idrus Harun would recommend that the Dewan Rakyat not hold a confidence vote for the prime minister, given that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong advocated for it.

The PKR president said he finds it “baffling” that Idrus is against holding the vote as he appeared to have agreed with Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah in prior meetings with political leaders.

“The Agong had insisted that all leaders must have the togetherness although the ‘winner’ (for the prime minister post) would have a slim majority, and everyone agreed.

“Secondly, the Agong said the leaders must give cooperation and hold a confidence vote. The deputy Agong Tuanku (Sultan) Nazrin (Muizzuddin Shah) – in supporting the views of the Agong – said this must be the prime agenda and everyone agreed.”

Anwar said in a video posted on his Facebook page yesterday evening in which he appeared in a special interview with veteran actor and producer Datuk Afdlin Shauki Aksan, who joined PKR in April.
