"(Perikatan Nasional chairman Tan Sri) Muhyiddin Yassin mentioned in Parliament that he is waiting for the Prime Minister to take action, and I too am waiting for further developments," he said on the sidelines of the 58th Asean Day celebration at the Cyber Event Hall here on Friday (Aug 8).

This follows a statement during Tuesday's (Aug 5) Dewan Rakyat sitting, in which Anwar said he had received information that certain Opposition MPs were defending the rights of foreigners to benefit from the subsidy rationalisation programme, a remark later directed at Muhyiddin, the Pagoh MP.
