Prominent family plotting to overthrow the government, says IGP
The family, currently embroiled in a lawsuit, had allegedly engaged a media consulting firm based in England to launch a smear campaign against the government and the Prime Minister.
PETALING JAYA - A prominent family is said to be behind the alleged plot to overthrow the Malaysian government.
Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail confirmed on Friday (Feb 27) that it was investigating a report lodged about a plot to overthrow the government.
The family, currently embroiled in a lawsuit, had allegedly engaged a media consulting firm based in England to launch a smear campaign against the government and the Prime Minister.
A copy of the police report, which has been spreading on social media, shows it was lodged at the Brickfields police station at 10.30am on Thursday (Feb 26).
The Star is in the midst of confirming the report with the Brickfields police.
The police report shows that an editor lodged the police complaint after reading a foreign news agency report on Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Tan Sri Azam Baki.
The editor claimed that he had met a member of the family concerned to discuss the possibility of collaborating on a biography and a documentary.
However, he claimed that he was invited to a Zoom meeting where the issue of attacking the government was discussed.
He said he then decided not to pursue the collaboration. - THE STAR
