Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah was summoned for an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah at Istana Negara yesterday in his capacity as the longest-serving MP.
The political secretary to Tengku Razaleigh (above), Mohd Lokman Ghani, said the audience was granted as His Majesty wanted to hear the MP’s opinion on the current political situation in the country.
“It was a four-eyed meeting for Tengku Razaleigh to share his views with the King. That’s all I know.
“Tengku Razaleigh was summoned for a royal audience in his capacity as the most experienced and most matured leader in the country’s politics, and also as the individual who has served with all prime ministers of Malaysia,” he told Bernama.
Lokman also said the meeting had nothing to do with the 83-year-old politician’s post as Umno advisory council chairperson or as the party’s representative.
Yesterday, the vehicle carrying Tengku Razaleigh, who has served as MP since 1974, was seen leaving Istana Negara at 2.40pm.
Earlier that day, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was also granted an audience with the King after claiming to have secured the support of more than 120 MPs to form a new government.
