ANWAR Ibrahim will not be having any audiences with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah today, said the Opposition Leader’s officer.
 
“Anwar is scheduled to discuss Monday’s Parliament sitting with his officers,” said an officer from Anwar’s office.
 
The officer said that Anwar’s schedule today does not show any meetings with the King.
 
Several media outlets had reported today that the Pakatan Harapan chairman will be meeting the King at 2.30pm today.
 
According to the reports, the meeting is expected to take place at the Istana Abdul Aziz in Kuantan, Pahang. 
 
This comes after the Yang di-Pertuan Agong said that Perikatan Nasional minister Takiyuddin Hassan had misled Parliament about the cancellation of Emergency ordinances on July 26.
 
In a strongly-worded statement, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong said that the government had failed to accept his order to table the revocation of the Emergency ordinances as per Article 150 (3) of the Federal Constitution in Parliament.
 
In response, the Prime Minister’s Office said that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong was bound to accept the government’s advice on the issue. 
 
Meanwhile, PKR communications director Fahmi Fadzil has confirmed that Anwar will not be meeting the King today.
 
He said that news of the meeting was untrue.
 
“It is fake news,” said the Lembah Pantai MP. – July 31, 2021.
