SULTAN Ibrahim Iskandar of Johor today granted Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim an hour-long audience in conjunction with the Tambun MP’s one-day working visit to the state. 

The Johor ruler was joined by Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim. 

The meeting took place at Istana Bukit Pelangi as posted on the sultan’s Facebook page today. 

After the meeting, Anwar took a short tour of Hospital Sultanah Aminah to ascertain the issues it faced.

He was also given a rousing welcome by UTM students.

Anwar is expected to attend several ceramah in Pulai and Simpang Jeram later today. The by-elections are on September 9.

The Pulai parliamentary and Simpang Jeram state by-elections were triggered by the death of Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub on July 23.

PH has fielded Suhaizan Kaiat in Pulai and Nazri Abdul Rahman in Simpang Jeram, and they are involved in three-cornered fights with Perikatan Nasional and Independent candidates. – September 3, 2023.
