Anwar feeling vindicated after disclosure

PORT DICKSON: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says he feels vindicated after the revelation by Pasir Salak MP Datuk Tajuddin Abdul Rahman that he and several other Umno MPs had signed statutory declarations (SDs) in support of Anwar as prime minister in 2020.

“In fact, the SDs signed by the Umno MPs, including Najib and Zahid, were sent directly to the palace and were not given to me, so why say I was prepared to work with kleptocrats or those involved in corruption?” he asked, referring to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
