They arrived separately through the palace’s main entrance.
It was reported last week that the Dewan Rakyat and Dewan Negara speakers along with their deputies had been summoned for an audience with the King.
Dewan Rakyat deputy speakers Azalina Othman Said and Rashid Hasnon, as well as Dewan Negara deputy president Mohamad Ali Mohamad have also arrived at the palace.
The meeting was believed to be about reconvening Parliament before the state of emergency ends after Aug 1.
Attorney-general Idrus Harun is reported to have also been granted an audience with the King, although it is not clear when exactly.
Recently, Azhar and Rais had proposed that a special sitting of Parliament be held in early August to discuss how a hybrid parliamentary session (partly online and partly in person) could take place.
They said the special sitting could discuss amendments to Standing Orders enabling such a hybrid meeting, after which proceedings could be held by the end of August or early September.
They said that under the proposed hybrid sitting, at least 26 MPs or 10 senators need to be present physically in the House, while other MPs or senators can follow the proceedings virtually.
Parliament and all state assemblies have been suspended under the state of emergency declared on Jan 12. Both government and opposition elected representatives have clamoured for legislatures to be reopened following an Istana Negara statement in late February that parliamentary meetings could be held during the state of emergency.
However, such calls were met with silence from Putrajaya.
Earlier this month, the King granted separate audiences to 18 political party leaders to discuss the Emergency and measures to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.
Some of the leaders had said that they asked for the Emergency to be lifted and Parliament to be reconvened during their meetings with the King.
The King had also convened a special meeting with the Malay Rulers to discuss the Emergency and fight against Covid-19.
Istana Negara later said the King wanted Parliament to be reconvened as soon as possible to allow for the emergency ordinances and national recovery plan to be debated by MPs.
The Rulers also issued a joint statement saying that the Emergency should not be extended beyond Aug 1.
