PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim says he has relayed his party’s concerns over negotiations within the ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad during the latter’s visit to the Cheras rehabilitation centre yesterday.

"In that meeting, I reiterated PKR's strong support towards Mahathir's leadership. I also relayed the concerns of leaders who asked that negotiation methods be more inclusive.

"This view was well received by Mahathir, but must be decided on by the Pakatan Harapan presidential council," Anwar said in a statement today.

Yesterday, PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli claimed the prime minister had bulldozed the announcement of three ministers without consulting PKR.

However, sources from other Harapan component parties said that PKR representatives had left a meeting with Mahathir and top coalition leaders to discuss the matter.

Meanwhile, Anwar said he also told PKR leaders to ensure that the Harapan government under Mahathir and Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail is strong, solid and capable of fulfilling its duties.

"I urge all my comrades to accept the people's mandate so they can immediately carry out their duties to save and rebuild this country," he said.

Anwar is expected to be released from incarceration on Tuesday, after Mahathir sought a royal pardon for him from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
