PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has agreed with the Prime Minister’s stance not to have changes in both the Deputy Prime Minister’s post and Cabinet.
“In the meeting (with Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad), I agreed with his stance to give attention to nation-building programmes as well as not making changes in the DPM post and Cabinet,” Anwar said in a Facebook post Thursday (June 20).
The PKR president said the short meeting was held in Putrajaya before Dr Mahathir’s trip to Bangkok.
The issue of the sex video controversy, involving Santubong PKR Youth chief Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz and, allegedly, Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, was also brought up.
Anwar said: “The two of us also discussed the sex video issue where I repeated the stand that PKR rejects the culture of politik jijik (disgusting politics) and despicable politics and also shared feelings of sympathy towards Azmin Ali and his family.
“In further discussion, I stress that this issue has political elements, therefore it is not appropriate to baselessly accuse anyone of spreading the videos,” Anwar wrote on his Facebook page tonight.
“Apart from this, we discussed other current issues,” he said
