Istana Negara: Anwar only gave number of MPs supporting him, not the list (updated)

PETALING JAYA: Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim met the King and gave him the number of MPs whom he claimed support him to be the next prime minister, but he did not give the names to verify his claim, says Istana Negara.

Comptroller of the Royal Household of Istana Negara Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said that the King had therefore advised the PKR president to follow and respect the legal process, as stated in the Federal Constitution.
