Istana Negara is expected to issue an official statement this evening.
This was stated in a short text message broadcast by the palace earlier today.
"This is a broadcast message. We wish to inform you that Istana Negara will issue a statement at 6pm today," said the message, which has been confirmed as true by a palace official.
It did not specify what the statement would be about. Palace officials contacted were also tight-lipped when asked about the matter.
However, it is believed that the statement might have to do with either the latest update into the health of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah or on the country's political polemics.
The king was admitted into the National Heart Institute(IJN) last Monday after he complained of feeling unwell.
Two days later, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim made an announcement claiming that he has managed to get majority support from MPs to form a government.
The PKR president had told the media then that Sultan Abdullah had granted him an audience, but it had to be postponed due to issues with the king's health.
Update: Agong undergoing follow-up treatment, will return to Istana Negara soon
It can only be a statement on the Agong's health.
