DR Mahathir Mohamad did not formally apply to meet with jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, his daughter Nurul Izzah Anwar confirmed today.

The PKR vice-president however said it was petty for authorities to ban the former prime minister to visit her father, when other leaders like Prime Minister Najib Razak, his wife Rosmah Mansor, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Tourism and Culture Minister Nazri Aziz were without any paperwork.
