KUALA LUMPUR: The opposition's attacks on the prime minister's recent visit to Saudi Arabia are unwarranted, says Community Communication Department director-general Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff.
"Anwar held meetings with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the World Muslim League in Mecca," said Mohammad Agus in a statement on Sunday .
On Anwar not meeting Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed Salman Abdulaziz Al-Saud and the request for Anwar to extend his visit by two more days, Mohammad Agus said that Anwar had to decline and promise to return. "The fact is they were among the earliest foreign dignitaries who congratulated Anwar on his appointment as prime minister after he took the oath of office on Nov 24 last year," said Mohammad Agus.
"The reality is Muhyiddin did not even meet King Salman in person during his trip in March 2021. They only met online," he said.
