PETALING JAYA: Opposition Leader Datuk Seri
Anwar Ibrahim has claimed that more than 31 Barisan MPs have agreed
to cross over to Pakatan Rakyat.
He, however, refused to reveal the names of the 31 MPs.
Anwar told a press conference at the PKR headquarters in
Petaling Jaya on Tuesday that he would give the list of the names
to the Prime Minister, when he meets him.
The Permatang Pauh MP also claimed that the transition to the
new Government has been delayed a few days pending the meeting with
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to ensure a smooth and peaceful
transition.
He said it was up to Abdullah to agree to the meeting and its
date.
Anwar said that in a letter submitted to Abdullah on Monday,
Pakatan had made four demands to ensure a smooth transition:
1) That Barisan does not hinder or prevent the MPs from acting
in accordance with their conscience, constitutional rights and
independentjudgement;
2) That the Barisan government should not invoke the Internal
Security Act to detain the MPs or any other current Pakatan
MPs;
3) That the Barisan government does not invoke emergency laws or
police powers or suspend the Constitution or dissolve Parliament;
and
4) That the Barisan government shall not impose roadblocks or
impede MPs from going to Parliament or any institution of
government.
