KUALA LUMPUR – Caretaker prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was seen entering Istana Negara about 2.50pm today.
The vehicle ferrying the Umno vice-president was also accompanied by another car and police outriders.
Ismail Sabri took time to wave at several members of the media who have been waiting outside since 9am.
He and his entourage later left at 4.20pm.
Earlier, about 2.26pm, another car ferrying Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Hajah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah was seen leaving the palace accompanied by police patrol cars.
The queen also waved at the media when leaving.
