PETALING JAYA: Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has defended the four Melaka assemblymen who retracted support for the previous state government, saying they are not like those who toppled the Pakatan Harapan government in the Sheraton Move.
Anwar said those involved in the Sheraton Move had betrayed the people’s mandate given to PH, while the Melaka four did it to return the mandate to the opposition coalition.
“They decided to support us and return the mandate to PH, which was previously stolen through betrayals.
“I disagree with those who categorise them in the same group as those involved in the Sheraton Move, who betrayed the people’s trust.
“The four merely wanted to return this trust to PH,” he told reporters after an event in Chuah, Negeri Sembilan.
