Syed Saddiq's presence at PH presidential council fuels talk of Muda joining coalition

PETALING JAYA: The presence of Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (Muda) president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman at the Pakatan Harapan presidential council has fuelled talk that the party will be accepted into the coalition.

Syed Saddiq, who is the Muar MP, was spotted arriving here at 4.45pm on Monday (Nov 28).

Muda officially submitted a written letter to join Pakatan but was put on hold with both sides ironing out several issues including seat allocations.

Pakatan Harapan chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had previously said that they would consider Muda's application after the national polls.

Pakatan is having its first presidential council meeting since Anwar's appointment as the prime minister.
