Has the door slammed shut on Anwar again? PH to wait and see

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan (PH) has decided to wait and see if Anwar Ibrahim’s hopes of becoming prime minister have again been dashed, following speculation that Ismail Sabri Yaakob has received the support of 114 MPs to form a new government.

PH secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the opposition coalition would only comment on the latest developments after the King makes a decision.

“We have taken the stand to only comment after an official statement is issued from the Palace, in respect of the process being carried out by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong,” he told FMT.

Meanwhile, PKR leader Abdullah Sani Abdul Hamid refused to issue any statements, saying he had been instructed by his “mentor” (Anwar) to “keep his mouth shut” for the next two days.

“If I speak wrongly, my ‘teacher’ would get angry. I will return to my cave. See you in 48 hours,” said the Kapar MP.
