Anwar may have wanted to avoid King's anger in directing Pakatan MPs to back Budget 2021 at policy stage, says Kadir Jasin

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s strategy in directing Pakatan Harapan MPs to back Budget 2021 at the policy stage seemed to be rather confusing and disappointing but may have been to avoid angering the King, says veteran journalist Datuk A. Kadir Jasin (pic).

He said the Opposition Leader needed to be careful not to be accused of denying the advice of the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, who had called on MPs to work together to pass the Budget.
