Tak setuju cakap dalam mesyuarat Kabinet, tegas Anwar

Pertuan Agong Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the President of Pakatan Harapan (PH), voiced his stance during a Kabinet meeting in Melaka ahead of the PRN 14 Nov. The Perdana Menteri addressed the Malam Harapan dinner in Melaka, criticizing ministers within his own government during the pre-campaign in the Melaka PRN. This pitted his allies against him during the Kabinet meeting the following day.

His allies accused the government of conducting politics while in office, claiming that ministers hold positions within the government. Anwar responded that they can discuss these issues within the Kabinet. The Kabinet meeting is scheduled for 9am to 12pm, with a duration of three hours. Anwar urged the ministers to speak up during the meeting, describing it as a new form of politics, as he spoke at the Malam Harapan dinner in Dewan Pay Fong, Melaka.

Anwar, who is also the President of Pakatan Harapan, was in Melaka for the pre-campaign ahead of the PRN 14 Nov. Prior to this, he had criticized Perikatan Nasional (PN) members who used their national government positions to attack coalition partners during the pre-campaign in Negeri Sembilan in August. In return, Zahid Hamidi, the leader of Barisan Nasional, responded that Anwar could dismiss PN ministers if he was not satisfied with them.

For this election, PH and BN are not cooperating despite being united at the federal level. Instead, BN has formed a pre-campaign alliance with the National Initiative (PN).
