PETALING JAYA: Police investigations into Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s claim that a prominent Zionist group is involved in a plan to topple the government will be completed sometime soon, says Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (pic).
“Police have started the investigation. I will share an update later,” he said when contacted yesterday.
On Tuesday, Anwar told the Dewan Rakyat that a bid to topple the government involves not only Malaysians collaborating with foreign parties but also the direct involvement of a prominent Zionist-linked figure.
He said the plan, allegedly involving the use of foreign lobbyists, bankers and international media, would supposedly run until the next general election.
Opposition politicians, however, believed otherwise.
“This revelation is just to distract the public from the government’s failure to gain support for the Bill (to limit the prime minister’s term to 10 years) and the issues involving (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner) Datuk Seri Azam Baki,” claimed PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man when contacted yesterday.
“The government must explain how serious this issue is because the public cannot see it.”
Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, who was sacked from Bersatu last month, said there was no evidence to link the family of Tun Daim Zainuddin to the alleged conspiracy.
“One thing is for sure. The objective of Toh Puan Na’imah Abdul Khalid (Daim’s wife) in appointing a PR company is to safeguard Daim’s name,” he said.
On Feb 27, Inspector-General of Police Mohd Khalid Ismail said police were investigating claims about a plot to topple the government which involves a prominent Malaysian and international media agencies.
