PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today defended the King against claims he wanted a casino built to save Forest City in Johor, calling the allegation malicious.
He suggested that those making rumours against the royal institution were “crooks” who should be jailed.“What is this? I have never heard of talks nor did anyone propose ... the Yang di-Pertuan Agong never once mentioned anything about allowing gambling there even if he does have interest in Forest City,” Anwar said in his Labour Day speech to staff from ministries and government-linked firms here.
