KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he managed to cancel an order for a brand new range-topping Mercedes Benz S600 by the previous administration.
Anwar also confirmed that the order was made by "the former prime minister".
He seemed content using a Toyota Camry for his work and other engagements.
"The Mercedes did not come. I'll use this (Toyota Camry), it's okay, right? Any car that is available.
"Actually, the Mercedes Benz was ordered by the former prime minister".
"When I checked, I found out that the order could be cancelled and we managed to do it," he told reporters before leaving the PKR headquarters here today.
Earlier, Anwar, who is also Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman and PKR president, chaired a PH presidential council meeting.
Yesterday, Anwar shared on social media that he had declined an opportunity to use an ultra-luxurious Mercedes Benz S600 that was acquired before he took office.
Anwar was reported as saying he made the decision because he did not want additional expenditure to be incurred for him.
