Perak sultan grants audience to Anwar

Perak ruler Sultan Nazrin Shah today granted an audience to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim at Istana Kinta in Ipoh.

The audience began at 10.50am and lasted about an hour. The car carrying the prime minister was spotted leaving the palace at noon.

The audience with Sultan Nazrin Shah was the first for Anwar, who is Tambun MP, since he was sworn in as the country’s 10th prime minister on Nov 24.

Anwar is scheduled to go on a walkabout at the Tanjung Rambutan market and join the congregants to perform the Friday prayers at the Muhammad Al Fateh Mosque in Taman Jati in his constituency before returning to Putrajaya.
