PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim playfully responded to the media on Monday (April 21) by quoting lyrics from the late Tan Sri P. Ramlee’s song "Tunggu Sekejap” when asked about the PKR divisional elections, which saw several major upsets.
When approached by reporters as he was leaving the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry’s (MOSTI) Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration, the PKR president casually quoted the lyrics: "Tunggu sekejap, jangan dikenang orang jauh … tunggu sekejap," without offering any further comment on the matter.
His cheerful and light-hearted demeanour drew laughter from the reporters.
The PKR divisional elections, which concluded on Sunday (April 20), reflected a wave of change in the party leadership, with several high-profile candidates losing their positions.
Among them was Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, who is also a PKR vice-president.
He failed to defend his position as Setiawangsa division chief, losing to actor and director Datuk Afdlin Shauki.
Nik Nazmi obtained 563 votes, while Afdlin garnered 631.
