Agong to meet with political leaders, says Khairuddin

Khairuddin Abu Hassan, a member of the opposition's committee lobbying for an end to the state of emergency, said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has finally agreed to a meeting.

However, he said the meeting will be with the leaders of all political parties and not only with the opposition.

The opposition committee had been working to secure a meeting with the ruler to make their case to end the emergency.
