'This is just Anwar's dream' - Ku Nan denies involvement

Putrajaya Member of Parliament (MP), Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has stressed that he was not involved in the move to form a new government led by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The UMNO Treasurer's statement denied the previous report of a portal which listed his name as well as several other UMNO MPs who allegedly supported Anwar who is also the Port Dickson MP.

"This is just Anwar's dream and I hope that no one will believe his allegations.

"I remain with UMNO, whether in the past, the present and forever in the struggle of a nation.

"We in UMNO have also decided 'no Tun Mahathir, no Anwar and no DAP'. So, stop this speculation," he said in a statement today.

Therefore, he urged to stop all speculation and continue the struggle to take care of the people and be loyal to Barisan Nasional (BN).

A Malay-language portal on Thursday reported 19 Umno MPs have expressed support for Anwar to become prime minister.

Apart from Tengku Adnan, the portal also listed Arau MP, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim; Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid (Padang Terap); Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim (Baling); Datuk Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub (Machang); Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz (Padang Rengas) and Datuk Mohd Nizar Zakaria (Parit).

Other names on the list were Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman (Pasir Salak); Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (Bagan Datuk); Datuk Ahmad Nazlan Idris (Jerantut); Datuk Seri Najib Razak (Pekan); Tan Sri Noh Omar (Tanjong Karang); Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh (Besut) and Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan (Pontian).

Also listed were Kimanis MP, Datuk Mohamad Alamin; Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin (Kinabatangan); Datuk Seri Hasan Arifin (Rompin); Ramli Mohd Noor (Cameron Highlands) and Datuk Hasbullah Osman (Gerik).
