A total of 90 MPs are scheduled to be at Istana Negara today, while the remaining 132 have been asked to attend their interviews tomorrow.

The one-on-one interviews are to determine who commands the majority of the Dewan Rakyat to eventually become the next and eighth prime minister of Malaysia.

“What we are protecting is not Pakatan Harapan government, but the legitimate government elected by the people through the ballot boxes. We are protecting democracy.”

"Our project launches this year are bigger projects with higher GDVs.”

“The Harapan government is not perfect, but we are set in this direction of a New Malaysia, and no other political group has made a similar commitment to continue in this direction in Malaysian nation-building.”

"Currently we are in talks with potential buyers for the land disposal."

"Let me do the duties. I hope we will find the best solution for the country."
