PRIME Minister Anwar Ibrahim attended the 2023 Umno general assembly at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur this morning.

Anwar, dressed in a light blue baju Melayu, arrived at 9.05am and was greeted by Umno president Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as well as the party leadership.

Party delegates welcomed Anwar in rapturous manner as Zahid led the Pakatan Harapan chairman and PKR president to the stage to be seated next to him.

He was also seen waving the Sangsaka Bangsa flag when the official Umno song “Bersatu Bersetia Berkhidmat” was played.

Also present were Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof, DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke, Warisan president Mohd Shafie Apdal and party presidents allied with the unity government.

This is Anwar’s first appearance at an Umno general assembly after he was sacked from the party in 1998.

He was then the party’s deputy president. – Bernama, June 9, 2023.
