Hadi’s 2014 US ‘topple govt’ claim sparks three police reports

Three police reports were lodged yesterday in Malaysia over a claim by PAS president and Marang Member of Parliament Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang that the United States had offered assistance to topple the Malaysian government in 2014. The reports were lodged by three officials from the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) in Cheras Police Station, following Hadi's statement during his speech at the 70th PAS Annual Muktamar.

They allege that several PAS leaders were invited to a meeting with the US Embassy during then-US President Barack Obama's visit to Malaysia, with the foreign side allegedly offering assistance to overthrow the government. The Cheras police chief confirmed the receipt of the reports and stated that they would be referred to the Wangsa Maju District Police Headquarters for investigation.
