KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has issued a stern warning against provocateurs and foreign agents aiming to destabilise Malaysia, referencing a past case involving two Malaysians linked to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
In a strongly worded speech underscoring Malaysia’s independent foreign policy and stance on justice, the Prime Minister reminded Malaysians to remain vigilant against subversive elements.
"Let there be no instigators. Do not allow provocateurs or foreign agents to undermine what we have built. There are those who, out of envy or on behalf of foreign powers, aim to destabilise our country and erode our values," he said at the National Training Week (NTW) 2025 summit in Bukit Jalil on Saturday (June 14).
He referenced a 2022 incident where two Malaysians, a husband and wife, aided Mossad operatives in entering the country through Thailand.
"Let us not forget: previously, a Mossad agent entered Malaysia… I commend the Royal Malaysia Police for successfully arresting and charging those involved."
Anwar said a "Negara Madani" must reflect both sovereignty and moral clarity, especially on issues of human rights such as the situation in Gaza.
"Just yesterday, Israel launched another brutal attack. We strongly condemn it. How is it that one country is allowed to carry out such violence repeatedly and with impunity? Even worse is when people in Malaysia, an independent nation, are afraid to speak up," he said.
Anwar also called on the nation’s youth not to be easily misled.
"Do not be naive. Do not be easily deceived by what you see on social media."
The prime minister’s remarks follow renewed Israeli air strikes, which he described as part of a long-standing pattern of impunity. He stressed that Malaysia’s principled stance on Gaza will not be swayed by international pressure.
"This is what it means to be a ‘Negara Madani’. We do not care whether certain countries approve or not," he said.
