Anwar Ibrahim's family may seek a royal pardon from the new Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V, should the PKR de facto leader's bid to review his conviction be quashed tomorrow.

"It is one of the options, but we will have to discuss this with Anwar first.

"We're hoping for (a favourable) outcome tomorrow would be the easier option," PKR president and Anwar's wife Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said when met by reporters at her house tonight.

Anwar's previous bid to get a royal pardon from then-Agong, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah, had been dismissed by the Pardons Board.
