Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim urged Hamzah Zainudin to file a report over claims that Kuala Kangsar MP Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid was coerced into supporting the government.
PUTRAJAYA: Prime minister Anwar Ibrahim has asked Bersatu leader Hamzah Zainudin to provide proof that Kuala Kangsar MP Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid was threatened to declare his support for his leadership. “If there is evidence he has to provide it, but what else does he want to say? All I know is that I haven’t met, contacted or sent a representative to . I don’t know who threatened him.
“If there is evidence, please provide it. This is a serious accusation. He should file a report and there should be an investigation,” he told reporters after an event here. Last week, Hamzah, who is Bersatu secretary-general, claimed that intimidation and threats were used against Iskandar Dzulkarnain to secure his support for the government to regain a two-thirds majority in Parliament.
