Dr M barred from meeting with Anwar at hospital


KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Harapan’s prime ministerial candidate Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad arrived at the Cheras Rehabilita­tion Hospital for his highly anticipated meeting with his former nemesis-turned-partner Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim – only to be told that he was barred from meeting the PKR de facto leader.

Dr Mahathir, the Parti Pribumi Bersatu chairman, arrived with Pribumi Youth chief Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman at the hospital where Anwar is receiving treatment but they were turned away by prison officials, apparently after a last-minute order.
