The pre-Cabinet meeting was a normal weekly routine between the King and Prime Minister, says Istana Negara.
The palace, in a statement Thursday (Oct 6), added that the meeting was for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah and Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to discuss and exchange opinions in regard to government affairs.
