IPOH (Feb 26): Former Perak menteri besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu today said that he will discuss with Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin over his appointment as the chairman of Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB). The Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) deputy president said he will meet the prime minister in the near future to discuss the matter. Ahmad Faizal described the post as a challenging responsibility as KTMB was facing losses following the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, Ahmad Faizal said so far, there had been no discussion between Bersatu and Umno on seat allocations for GE15. He also refuted claims that Bersatu wants to take over many seats as there had been no discussion yet over the matter.
