PETALING JAYA: Istana Negara has denied a report claiming that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be meeting the Yang di-Pertuan Agong today to request the dissolution of Parliament.
“(It’s) fake news. Tuanku is still in Singapore,” Comptroller of the Royal Household Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin told FMT in a WhatsApp message.
Quoting blogger Zaharin Yasin, a local daily had reported that Ismail was set to have an audience with the King today.
The report said he would be accompanied by Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan, representing Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
