Bukit Aman contacts Hadi over claim US offered to topple govt
Abdul Hadi Awang's political secretary Syahir Sulaiman says the PAS president is ready to cooperate fully with police over the matter.
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang claimed during the party's 72nd annual muktamar in 2014 that the US had offered assistance to topple the Malaysian government. Bukit Aman, the country's police force, has contacted Hadi over his allegation, with his political secretary Syahir Sulaiman confirming the police's involvement. Hadi's claims were made during then-US president Barack Obama's visit to Malaysia in 2014.
PAS assistant secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan and Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, who was Hadi's political secretary then, allegedly visited the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur for the meeting. However, Takiyuddin and Samsuri reportedly rejected the offer and remained steadfast in their decision. The US embassy in Kuala Lumpur has since denied Hadi's claim, stating that the US never sought to determine who would lead Malaysia.
