A journalist at the scene reports that Anwar Ibrahim had arrived at the Palace in a black heavily tinted Jaguar at about 10.30am. Only two cars were allowed in. “It will be a good outcome“ said a member from Anwar’s entourage, who declined to be named.
Anwar was then seen leaving at 11.30am after meeting with the Agong.
Meanwhile, Communications Director of PKR Fahmi Fadzil confirms that Anwar Ibrahim will hold a press conference at 2pm this afternoon.
On 8 October, Anwar Ibrahim announced that he had been granted an audience with the Agong today (13 October) to present documentation that he has the majority support from the Members of Parliament (MP) as he previously claimed he had.
