PETALING JAYA: PKR Youth has urged authorities to immediately investigate allegations of foreign funding linked to political activities aimed at destabilising the government.
Its chief, Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim, said the police, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, Bank Negara Malaysia, and relevant security agencies should conduct a detailed, independent, and comprehensive probe into all parties named in the allegations, regardless of political background or position.
“Any movement that receives and misuses foreign funding to shape domestic political narratives in an organised manner must be investigated thoroughly and transparently, without compromise,” he said in a statement on Sunday (May 17).
He said any breach of the law should be dealt with firmly under existing provisions, including the Penal Code, Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (AMLA), and the Societies Act 1966, if elements involving threats to national security, money laundering, or misuse of foreign funds for unlawful political purposes were found.
His statement comes amid controversy involving the youth-based non-governmental organisation Mandiri, which is considering legal action against a group that allegedly made defamatory claims linking the organisation to foreign funding and a purported plot to topple Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
In a statement on Friday (May 15), Mandiri executive director Amir Hadi said the organisation would consult its lawyers over allegations made during a press conference held in front of the Dang Wangi district police headquarters.
Mandiri was responding to a police report lodged over a now-deleted TikTok video that allegedly linked the organisation to foreign funds purportedly being used to undermine Anwar as a proxy for Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli.
