KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 — Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dismissed questions today about a potential partnership with Umno for the 15th general election, saying talks in this direction were still at a very early stage.

At a press conference this evening, he said any comment about the possible cooperation with the Malay nationalist party and political rival would be speculative.

“I’ve already said it would be premature to indicate any possibility of cooperation in the next general election. At this stage, we are just discussing.

“So, this would pre-empt something beyond that, even before a major understanding has been reached. So, I think we will stick to that, that we are just in the midst of initial discussions.”
