KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia’s opposition leader, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, on Tuesday (Oct 13) said he has presented documentation proving his claim of a majority in Parliament to the King, with the ruler now expected to make a decision in the coming days based on the evidence submitted to him.
Mr Anwar, the president of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and MP for Port Dickson, said he has the backing of more than 120 lawmakers in the 222-member Parliament, and as such, it would be "appropriate" for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to resign, considering the latter had lost his majority in Malaysia’s lower house.
"With these documents, it is abundantly clear that we have registered a formidable convincing majority among parliamentarians," Mr Anwar said.
Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin will now call the heads of parties to verify the claims made by Mr Anwar in the documents presented.
Umno veteran leader Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah is meeting the King on Tuesday afternoon while news portal Malaysiakini reported that DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and MIC president SA Vigneswaran have also received invitations to the palace.
Mr Anwar said the King assured him he would respect the Constitution, and the issue of a snap election did not arise.
"Today is not the day of victory, or a day of loss for anyone," Mr Anwar said during a press conference after his audience with the King on Tuesday morning.
He also urged Malaysians to give space to the ruler to exercise his discretion and be given adequate time to study the documents and consult party leaders.
