Zulkifli, who is the former former Federal Territory Mufti, reminded Anwar that Malaysia was a Muslim-majority country thus those who sacrificed and struggled in the previous generations in raising Malaysia’s name in the eyes of the world should be appreciated.

Zulkifli said the previous prime ministers starting from Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had appropriate advice delivered to them from time to time for guidance.

"May Allah SWT bare witness that I have fulfilled my responsibilities to the leaders. I do not advise except on the basis of love for the country, religion and race,” he said.
