PETALING JAYA: Anyone found to be involved in an attempt to topple the government and disrupt the country’s stability must face the law, regardless of their status or background, says the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC).
“We will give our full cooperation to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to ensure that the necessary legal processes will be carried out in line with the Federal Constitution and the principle of the rule of law,” it said in a statement on Friday (Feb 27).
The AGC said this following a statement by Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail who confirmed that the police was investigating a report lodged about a plot to overthrow the government.
“The AGC views this matter very seriously.
“Any action or plans with elements of disrupting public peace, political stability and national security is a matter that affects the foundation of a parliamentary democracy and the rule of law,” it said.
The AGC stressed that any investigation must be done in a thorough and professional manner, free of any interference.
“Any decision involving prosecution will be done independently and objectively based on facts, statements and legal considerations,” it added.
