Anwar Ibrahim has urged all opposition parties, including PAS, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) and the Pakatan Harapan components to sit down together and discuss the formation of a viable coalition.

"All the affected parties must be prepared to discuss, that is for the beginning,” the former opposition leader said after the hearing of his qazaf appeal at the Syariah Court of Appeal in Kuala Lumpur.

"Discuss with (Bersatu president) Tan Sri Muhyiddin (Yassin). All of them – Pakatan Harapan, DAP, Amanah, and Bersatu need to discuss with PAS," added Anwar.
