KUALA LUMPUR – An official car of the Johor Palace is seen arriving at the Istana Negara at about 9.40am.
The maroon Audi believed to be ferrying Johor royalty was seen entering the palace through Gate 1.
Earlier, more than 100 media practitioners had waited outside of the palace compound since 8am, where a Conference of Rulers was expected to be held at 10.30am.
Malaysia has entered a stalemate after none of the parties which stood in GE15 last Saturday won enough parliamentary seats to form government.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) has won the most seats at 82, followed by Perikatan Nasional (PN): 73; Barisan Nasional (BN): 30; Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS): 22; Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS): 7 and others: 6.
The impasse occurred as parties needed to at least secure 112 parliamentary seats to form government as Malaysia has a total of 222 parliamentary seats.
Due to the impasse, the number one leaders in both PH and PN; Anwar Ibrahim and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, respectively; have been negotiating with rival party, BN, in a bid to woo support to form government.
The Conference of Rulers today would discuss the ongoing formation of the new government.
The meeting was being convened for the rulers to come to a decision that would be in the interest of the people and the country.
