PETALING JAYA: Police have confirmed that they have received a report and opened an investigation paper into allegations of a conspiracy to topple the government and sabotage national stability.
Inspector-General of Police Datuk Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail (pic) said the probe centres on claims that a local "influential individual" was working in collaboration with an international media agency.
“The investigation is being conducted by the Classified Criminal Investigation Unit (D5), Prosecution/Legal Division, Criminal Investigation Department at Bukit Aman under Section 124B of the Penal Code,” he said in a statement on Friday (Feb 27).
He said that Section 124B provides that any individual who, directly or indirectly, engages in activities detrimental to parliamentary democracy may be imprisoned for up to 20 years upon conviction.
“Investigations are ongoing, and the public is advised not to speculate on the case while police complete their probe, in line with the principles of criminal justice in this country,” he said.
