PORT DICKSON:
Danyal Balagopal Abdullah will hold a press conference soon to address the issues associated with him following his resignation as Port Dickson MP.

He said the press conference was expected to be attended by Anwar Ibrahim.

“Currently, I am still staying in Port Dickson even though I am no longer the Port Dickson member of Parliament.

“There are many ways I can contribute my energy and deeds here… I will not leave Port Dickson,” he told reporters when met at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Port Dickson district-level lantern festival.

Danyal, 68, vacated his seat to allow Anwar, the incoming PKR president, to contest to return to the Dewan Rakyat and subsequently be appointed as the eighth prime minister.

Certain quarters have since claimed that Danyal received RM25 million from Anwar to vacate the seat.
