KOTA KINABALU: Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin says he has never supported Anwar Ibrahim amid claims that he was among ten Umno MPs who had signed statutory statements (SD) endorsing the PKR president.
Earlier today, Astro Awani, in a report citing sources, named Bung among the supporters, along with former Prime Minister Najib Razak and Umno President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The report said that these SDs would present themselves to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah.
In a statement, Bung described these claims as “irresponsible” as it had already denied them.
“I said last month that I have never supported any (other) party. The important thing is that we as individuals have never supported anyone, including Anwar, to lead the nation. “
The president of Sabah Barisan Nasional called for an end to such speculation.
He also said that if Anwar was sure he had enough support and the SDs, he should seek an audience with the King.
“If you are confident, take the SD to Agong. Don’t seek an audience empty-handed. “
Earlier, Anwar had also claimed that he had secured the support of enough MPs for a convincing majority in Dewan Rakyat.
But after an audience with Sultan Abdullah, Istana Negara revealed that Anwar had not submitted any list of MPs who supported him.
