Pakatan Harapan chairperson Anwar Ibrahim said if he was flexible on issues of principle, the prime minister after Muhyiddin Yassin would not be Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Denying claims that he was “hungry” to become prime minister, Anwar said that when there was a political crisis following Muhyiddin’s fall, he was very close to becoming the country’s number-one leader.
