KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 6 — Three police reports have been lodged against PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang over his plot claim that the United States offered assistance to unseat the Malaysian government in 2014.
The reports were filed at the Cheras Police Station today by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Bandar Tun Razak branch vice-chief V. Jonathan, women’s chief Mazlina Osman, and Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) deputy chief Amarul Hisham Jalil.
Speaking to reporters after lodging the report, Jonathan stated that the complaints stem from remarks made by Abdul Hadi during his speech at the 70th PAS Annual Muktamar in Kota Bharu on Sept 5. Abdul Hadi alleged that several PAS leaders—including Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, and Mustafa Ali—were invited to meet US Embassy officials during former US President Barack Obama’s visit to Malaysia in 2014, where foreign representatives allegedly offered help to overthrow the government of the day.
“Jonathan said they viewed the allegations seriously and that the reports were lodged to ensure that any claims related to attempts to overthrow or weaken the government and the parliamentary democratic system through unconstitutional means could be investigated in accordance with the law.”
Cheras Police Chief ACP Mohd Rosdi Daud confirmed receiving the reports at approximately 5 pm today, adding that the matter will be referred to the Wangsa Maju District Police Headquarters for further investigation.
