KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 13 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today described the mood at this morning’s Cabinet meeting as “normal”, amid signs of disunity within the government as his Pakatan Harapan coalition goes head-to-head with its unity government ally, Barisan Nasional, in tomorrow’s Melaka state polls.

Anwar played down the tension in the run-up to tomorrow’s vote as part and parcel of an election campaign, and said he anticipates the temperature to cool down again once the election is done.

“When there is an election, the temperature rises briefly. Then it goes back down. But as for the meeting earlier, it was normal. I didn’t notice any issues,” Anwar told reporters after performing Friday prayers at Brickfields here.
