PKR president Anwar Ibrahim has claimed he has the support of 114 to 115 MPs to support his appeal to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to reconsider proclamation of emergency and to immediately lift the suspension on Parliament.

“Those MPs who are committed to supporting the emergency and suspending Parliament are maybe not more than 90. Some 114, 115 MPs reject the motion of the Perikatan Nasional government. That cannot be disputed.
