Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has refuted reports that he had a discussion with Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during a religious event in Hulu Langat, Selangor, yesterday (March 10).
Abdullah said he attended the event on the invitation of prominent religious figure, Syeikh Mahmud al-Majzub.
"I was invited and I went, and when we were in the midst of having lunch, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim came. He was invited to sit and have lunch. That's all. No discussion. "
Syeikh Mahmud conveyed his view to me about the various problems in the world today and he stressed that it was important for leaders of this country to be fair and to always ensure peace. "He (Syeikh Mahmud) spoke to me; he did not speak to Anwar. Nothing more than that," Abdullah, who is Defence Minister, told reporters after visiting the Sepanggar Naval Base here today.
The Prime Minister arrived this morning and went to Pulau Banggi to tour the development in the island. It was a day-long working visit. He returned to Kuala Lumpur this evening.
