KUALA LUMPUR - The Umno Supreme Council, at its meeting today, made a collective decision on the overture by Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to have an open dialogue with the government to discuss "national issues" that he felt should be handled in the spirit of Merdeka.
Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, in disclosing this, said the council's decision would have to be announced by Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
"... a collective decision was made but because the (Umno) president had to rush to Melaka we did not have a press conference. It's inappropriate for me to say (anything about it)," Hishammuddin told reporters after the meeting at Menara Dato Onn, here.
Najib, who is the prime minister, had gone to Melaka to attend the national-level Aidilfitri open house at the Hang Tuah Stadium, scheduled for 8.30 pm.
A web portal reported today that Anwar, who is also PKR advisor, had proposed an open dialogue with the government to discuss "national issues" which should be tackled in the spirit of Merdeka.
