KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22 — The Yang di-Pertuan Agong has not made his decision on Malaysia’s 10th prime minister yet, Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.

However, Anwar expressed confidence that he would be able to secure a simple majority in time to form the federal government.


“There’s a vacancy now, it is open for application,” he told reporters camped in front of the Istana Negara.

He relayed to the media His Majesty’s wish to form a stable government, after an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong earlier.


When asked further, Anwar also dismissed the possibility of a minority government, saying there “was no questions about it”.
