Only fair for Anwar to be made next PM, says Zaid

PETALING JAYA: It is only fair that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong invite opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to form a new government, former minister Zaid Ibrahim said.

“This is what most democracies ala Westminster style will do,” the former de facto law minister said in a statement today.

Citing his sources, he said 12 Umno MPs had already given their support to Anwar.

This was despite deputy prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob insisting that 40 BN MPs were supporting Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

He added that the King could appoint almost anyone to be the next prime minister so long as he was satisfied that he had the support of the majority of the MPs.
