Anwar Ibrahim was not invited by the Agong to form a new government; unlike Mahathir he was not even invited to the palace for morning tea: Anwar & DAP should tell their supporters why he has not been invited, instead of rallying the troops for riots

Malaysia's politician Anwar Ibrahim speaks during an interview with Reuters in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, on Feb 6, 2020.Anwar seems to be rallying the troops for 1998 Reformasi style riots.

On Thursday 27 Feb 2020 Malaysia's Constitutional Head Of State, The Yang DiPertuan Agong, invited interim (or caretaker ?) Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad to the palace for morning tea.

Since then Mahathir has called for a special sitting of Parliament at which a vote of no confidence will be conducted. If no one person can command the confidence of the majority a snap election will be called.

Meanwhile  Anwar Ibrahim has not been  invited to the palace for even a cup of tea. Nevertheless his supporters and he have attempted to give the impression that he has the Agong's support and indeed that of all the Malay Rulers.

Anwar ought instead to explain why the Agong has not, after interviewing all MPs(as he should) invited Anwar to form government.
