ABDULLAH: Anwar's letter not about power transfer


Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today said a letter he received from Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday was about general matters on the current situation of the country and not concerning a power transfer.

“There has been no letter sent to me regarding a power transfer. He (Anwar) sent a letter about general matters on the current situation in the country,” he told a press conference after presenting scholarships and Aidilfitri aid to the needy at Dewan Seri Endon Yayasan Budi Penyayang here.

In KUALA LUMPUR, Anwar today had claimed that he had sent a letter to the Prime Minister requesting a meeting to discuss a peaceful transfer of power to the Pakatan Rakyat coalition.

He claimed that he had enough Members of Parliament to form the new government. - nst
