Anwar Ibrahim did not provide the names of the MPs who are supporting him during his audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, according to Istana Negara's comptroller of the royal household Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin.

"During the session, which lasted about 25 minutes, Datuk Seri Anwar presented the total number of members of the Dewan Rakyat who purportedly supported him.

"However, he did not furnish the names of these Dewan Rakyat members to strengthen his claim," he added in a statement this afternoon.

Therefore, he said Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah had advised Anwar to abide by and respect the legal process as enshrined in the Federal Constitution.
