PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today dismissed allegations that the government decided to hold the Malaysia MADANI Aidilfitri open house in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu because these PAS-led states will be holding state elections this year.
The prime minister said many other states including Selangor would be holding similar events in conjunction with Aidilfitri.
“Many states, Selangor too … No, no (not only in opposition-held states),” he told reporters briefly at Masjid As-Salam, Pangsapuri Petaling Perma here.
He was asked about allegations that the government deliberately chose these states as they are controlled by the opposition and would be holding their state elections in the next few months.
