Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim hosted Barisan Nasional lawmakers at his official residence last evening for urgent discussions. The politicians gathered at Seri Perdana Complex to hash out pressing matters ahead of the next parliamentary session. Defence Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin rolled up first around 7:20 pm as reporters camped outside the gates. Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi showed up twenty minutes later while journalists kept watch from their posts. The closed-door session stretched well past an hour as the political heavyweights tackled key agenda items.
Media crews had positioned themselves at the compound entrance since 7 pm, anticipating major developments from the high-level talks. The marathon meeting finally wrapped up at 9:20 pm after extensive deliberations between the coalition partners. Anwar made his exit at 9:34 pm while his political secretary Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin followed suit just sixty seconds later. Reporters tried unsuccessfully to corner the departing MPs for statements about what transpired during their lengthy discussions. The attending politicians remained tight-lipped about the substance of their evening conference despite persistent media attempts to extract details.
