KUALA LUMPUR: MIC has not yet been informed of any postponement of its party chief’s hearing with Yang di-Pertuan Agong scheduled for Thursday (October 15), says Tan Sri SA Vigneswaran (Photo).

However, the MIC chairman said it may be useless as opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has not provided the names of MPs who are supposed to support him in his bid to form the next government.

“Anwar has not provided any names to the King and if he does not submit any names any Tom, Dick and Harry can say they have the numbers.

“So if there are no names or numbers, then it’s a waste of time,” he said. The star when you contact us on Wednesday (October 14).

Vigneswaran, however, said he has not heard from Istana Negara of any changes in his appointment to the king.

Early Wednesday (October 14), DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng and Amanah President Mohamad Sabu said they were notified by Istana Negara that their meetings had been postponed to later dates that had not yet been specified.

In a joint statement, the two party leaders said that they were supposed to have an audience with Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah today (October 14) and October 22 respectively.

On Tuesday (October 14) Anwar, who is also president of PKR, met with the King for 25 minutes where he presented his claim to have more than 120 MPs in his bid to become the next prime minister.

However, the Comptroller of the Royal House of Istana Negara Datuk Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said that Anwar gave the King the numbers he claimed to have, but did not give the names of the deputies to verify his claim.

The King has advised Anwar to follow and respect the legal process as set out in the Federal Constitution.
