KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani has denied that he contacted PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He was commenting on a video of the Pakatan Harapan chairman, who claimed the IGP called him and asked him to stand by as the coalition is expected to secure 112 parliament seats in the 15th General Election (GE15) during a ceramah.
"It is not true (that I called him). I don't intend to take action against him (Anwar). Maybe he was caught up in the moment, as he was too excited while giving a ceramah and campaigning," he said.
Acryl Sani said this when speaking to reporters after visiting four voting centres in the Klang Valley on Saturday (Nov 19).
In the 45-second video, Anwar, who is contesting the Tambun parliamentary seat, claimed that Pakatan has gained enough momentum and is poised to win 112 parliament seats in GE15.
He went on to say that the IGP even phoned him, asking him to be ready.
