KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 9 — Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has decreed that Istana Negara will not get involved in political manoeuvres, according to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
In fact, His Majesty also decreed that the Madani Government and Anwar should continue managing Malaysia’s affairs.
“Today, as usual, I was granted an audience with Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, to brief His Majesty on the matters for tomorrow’s Cabinet meeting and also to discuss several current developments.
“I also added that if there are any proposals from any party to donate RM500 million or RM750 million, it should be channelled directly to the asnaf (those eligible to receive tithe) and the poor in the country,” he said in a statement today.
Prior to this, a statement went viral claiming the King had agreed to grant an audience to 118 MPs who had allegedly signed statutory declarations to change the Federal government.
The Office of Opposition Leader, however, confirmed on Saturday (January 6) that the statement allegedly issued by Perikatan Nasional (PN) is not real.
