BN top brass to meet at 11am
9.50am: Umno Federal Territory chief Johari Abdul Ghani arrives at Umno headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.
Johari is among BN’s top leaders to arrive here for an apparent coalition supreme council meeting which is scheduled at 11am today.
However, the Titiwangsa MP refuses to divulge further details to the waiting reporters.
MCA secretary-general Chong Sin Woon arrives shortly after Johari at 9.55am.
“To decide,” Chong says briefly when asked about the meeting.
Chong’s arrival is followed by MCA deputy president Mah Hang Soon.
All quiet at Umno headquarters
8.30am: It's an overcast morning in much of the Klang Valley.
So far, World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur (WTCKL), the headquarters of BN and Umno, is quiet.
Some reporters are also stationing themselves outside Pakatan Harapan leader Anwar Ibrahim's residence in Sungai Long, Selangor.
According to Sin Chew Daily, some reporters were there since 5am.
Racial rhetoric worries Anwar
8am: Pakatan Harapan leader Anwar Ibrahim is concerned over the fanning of racial sentiments and rhetoric of late. He blames it on "desperate" and "interested" groups.
"The work and efforts in forming a responsible and stable government should not be disturbed because Malays, Chinese, Indians, Orang Asli and the natives of Sabah and Sarawak are brothers.
"They are the people of Malaysia who love peace," says Anwar in a statement early this morning.
Anwar says he supports an earlier statement made by inspector-general of police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani who warned social media users not to misuse their platforms to spread provocative content that could lead to public unrest.
