The deputy prime minister says Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid did not speak or discuss the matter with the prime minister.
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said opposition MP Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid’s expression of support was made in his personal capacity.
In dismissing claims that Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid had been pressured to support the government, Zahid said that Iskandar, who is MP for Kuala Kangsar, did not discuss the matter with Anwar. PN secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin claimed that Iskandar had been intimidated and threatened into supporting Anwar.
Hamzah also claimed that Iskandar was brought to meet a top official of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and threatened with corruption charges if he refused to sign a media statement stating his support for the government.
