Anwar meets BN MPs to clarify tax, fuel subsidy and judiciary issues
He said among the matters explained were regarding taxation, rumours surrounding RON95 petrol subsidies, and issues related to the judiciary.
'Well, on Monday, I decided to meet with PH (Pakatan Harapan MPs), that's routine for PH. Then Datuk Seri Zahid (Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) suggested I meet with BN MPs as well. So I said alright, and we met last night.
'BN MPs understood and gave their full cooperation on these matters, and I will provide further clarification to them moving forward,' he said when met by reporters after holding a meeting with the PKR State Leadership Councils of Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan here today.
Last night, the Prime Minister was reported to have met with BN MPs at his official residence, Seri Perdana, in Putrajaya.
Meanwhile, Anwar, who is also PKR president, said today's leadership council meeting also discussed current issues, including the government's actions in tackling corruption.
'I explained how our actions against major corruption cases have led certain groups to unite in attacking us. That is the key point. For them, corruption is no longer seen as something big or serious. But for us, it still is because it involves governance,' he said.
Anwar added that he also explained the process of selecting the Chief Justice, reiterating that all parties should respect the appointment process as it was governed by the Federal Constitution. - Bernama

TANJONG KARANG: Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) stand a strong chance of securing a decisive victory in the upcoming Sabah state election if they continue their alliance, according to Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki. He pointed to recent by-election successes in Ayer Kuning (Perak), Mahkota (Johor), and Nenggiri (Kelantan) as proof of their combined strength.

Umno is adaptable and inclusive,' he told reporters after opening the Tanjong Karang Umno division delegates' meeting.

On another front, Asyraf Wajdi expressed confidence in reclaiming the Tanjong Karang parliamentary seat in GE16. The seat, lost in the last general election, is now a priority.
