Anwar to topple Dr M? It’s fake news! says the PKR supremo
KUALA LUMPUR: PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dismissed a viralled message that claimed that he was at the Istana Negara this morning to have an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.
He also stressed that there was no move to push for a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in Dewan Rakyat.
The Port Dickson MP said that he was in the Parliament since this morning.
‘’Ignore the message because it is fake news. I have been in Parliament this morning,’’ he told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.
This morning, a viral message claimed that PKR communications director, Ahmad Fahmi Mohamed Fadzil had confirmed that Anwar was at Istana Negara to meet Sultan Abdullah.
Elaborating further, Anwar said the fake message was an effort by certain parties who wanted to see Pakatan Harapan (PH) weakened.
Anwar said he does not want to entertain any speculation on the matter and insisted the power transition plan must go through the right channel.
‘’I don’t feel there is a problem, follow the right route if anybody is interested. Otherwise, there is no focus on people’s problems and economic development,’’ he added.
