KUALA LUMPUR : Police have not set the date to record a statement from Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim over a list MPs claimed to be supporting him to form a new government, says Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Huzir Mohamed (pic).
He said they did not have a confirmed new date to call Anwar.
“Anwar will not be called tomorrow (Oct 15),” he told Bernama.
A WhatsApp message had gone viral, claiming that Anwar would be called to Bukit Aman at 3pm Thursday to record his statement.
Bernama previously reported that the interview with the PKR president was scheduled for Oct 13 but was postponed to a date to be announced later.
On Tuesday (Oct 13), Anwar had an audience with Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah at Istana Negara to provide documentation to support his claim that he had majority MP support in the Dewan Rakyat to be Malaysia’s ninth prime minister.
He announced the same at a press conference on Sept 23 and this was followed by a slew of police reports against him by MPs whose names were allegedly on the list but had denied backing him. – BERNAMA
