Responding to a media report on PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin's policy speech on the matter, Anwar said that former had merely posed a challenge to Umno.

"(Changing the constitutional to guarantee a Malay PM) is not the stand of the youth wing, PKR or Pakatan.

"Because Umno keeps talking about Malays, so (Shamsul Iskandar) challenges Umno if they are willing, but his stand is Malaysia is tied to the present constitution and the principles of fairness and justice," he said.
