KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 10 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today said that he will reach out to former Penang deputy chief minister II Prof P. Ramasamy to hear the latter's views over his resignation from DAP.

“Ramasamy is a friend. I will get his views. He understands the situation and the decision regarding several problems in the party,” he told reporters referring to DAP, after delivering his keynote address at the 36th Asia-Pacific Roundtable here.
