PM Anwar Ibrahim says a group linked to a prominent Zionist organisation attempted to destabilise the government, investigations ongoing.
PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim revealed that an ongoing attempt to destabilise the government involves a group of Malaysians working with international institutions and media outlets, including links to a prominent Zionist organisation.
He said initial investigations by the police indicate that the group, operating partly from abroad with substantial funding, sought to challenge the current administration through coordinated strategies.
According to the findings, companies, organisations, and individuals associated with the group held six meetings throughout 2025, both in Malaysia and overseas.
“They sought information and influence through international roundtables and global non-governmental organisations, before briefing Bloomberg for further action.
“The strategy extended to engaging foreign media to question government initiatives, particularly those related to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), while using international networks to cast doubt on the credibility of the government and the country,” Anwar said in response to Arau MP Datuk Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim in Dewan Rakyat.
Shahidan had asked about the status of the police probe into the alleged plot and its potential impact on Malaysia’s parliamentary democracy.
Elaborating, Anwar said the group also sought to exploit relationships with Members of Parliament to influence parliamentary questions and proceedings.
“They attempted to mobilise international media to highlight certain individuals under investigation, praising them publicly despite ongoing corruption probes,” he said.
The Prime Minister added that the alleged plot is linked to large-scale MACC investigations and reportedly began in August 2024, continuing until the next general election.
“This is not about defending one individual or criticising me personally. It challenges the entire governance system and aims to destabilise the government.
“While there may be attempts to elevate certain figures, the report shows it threatens the nation’s institutions and security,” he said.
Anwar urged all parties to act wisely and fairly, noting the unity shown by MPs, including those from the opposition, in condemning recent foreign strikes in the Middle East.
He added that further details, including the involvement of Zionist groups, would be disclosed once investigations are complete.
“The situation requires careful consideration beyond party politics. Preparedness is essential to safeguard the nation and protect Malaysia’s democratic institutions,” he said, stressing that the investigation remains ongoing and sensitive, with names, companies, and countries deliberately withheld.
