Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says discussions on the appointment of the Cabinet line-up are nearly complete and hopes it can be announced soon.

Anwar, who is Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman, also confirmed that Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah has granted him an audience at Istana Negara at 8am on Friday.

"I apologise for having to rush to resolve the issues with all of the component parties because we have to quickly form the Cabinet and get the consent of the king. 

"I hope to announce it in two or three days’ time," he said at a meet-and-greet session in Sungai Long, Kajang, last night.

Anwar will be in Perak today for an audience with the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, at Istana Kinta at 10am.

After that, he is scheduled to hold a walkabout and a meet-and-greet session at the Tanjung Rambutan market, visit the Manjoi health clinic site as well as perform Friday prayers and attend a kenduri at Masjid Muhammad Al Fateh at Taman Jati in Ipoh.
