PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan and its allies are expected make a final decision in a meeting Tuesday (June 16) on who – Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim or Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad – will be their choice of candidate for prime minister.

Supporters from both camps are using the #DemiMalaysia hashtag on social media, hoping that the two leaders will put aside their differences and work together for the country.
