Maszlee not ruled out of the running, says Anwar


JOHOR BARU: Simpang Renggam MP Dr Maszlee Malik, who joined PKR about two months ago, has not been ruled out as a candidate in the Johor election, says party president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar, who is also Pakatan Harapan chairman, was similarly non-committal about Maszlee, who is being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, as the coalition’s candidate for the Johor mentri besar post.
