PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim tonight said the federal government must maintain a good relationship with the Malay rulers, citing his audience earlier today with the Johor regent.
Anwar said that cordial ties made it easier for both sides to clear the air on issues affecting the state.
“The Johor regent said he considered me a friend, which is why I was able to seek an audience with him when he was in Kuala Lumpur,” he said, referring to Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim.
Anwar, who is the Pakatan Harapan chairman, said this before unveiling the coalition’s candidates for the Johor polls.
He also said he had given his views to the other sultans on separate issues and would heed the advice given.
Anwar this evening revealed that he and Tunku Ismail agreed to preserve their good relations while reinforcing cooperation between the federal and state governments.
He said discussions revolved around the welfare of Johoreans and the state’s development.
