KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has apologised to the residents of Taman Medan and Dusun Tua for his absence from Jelajah Perpaduan Madani at the two places on Thursday (August 3). 

In a Facebook post today, Anwar said he skipped the two events because he had to attend to the Brunei ruler Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, who was making a three-day state visit to Malaysia beginning August 2. 

Therefore, to make up for his absence, Anwar will visit Taman Medan at 9pm tomorrow (Sunday), followed by Ampang (10pm) and Hulu Kelang (11pm). 

“I would like to invite all advocates of unity to join us and express their support for PH-BN candidates in Selangor,” said Anwar. 

On Thursday, Anwar was scheduled to attend unity ceramah in Taman Medan at about 10pm and Dusun Tua around 11pm as part of the PH-BN campaign for the Selangor state elections. 

Selangor, Penang, Negri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu will go to the polls on August 12. – Bernama, August 5, 2023
