PMO: Letter claiming cabinet approval for PLUS highway widening is fake
KUALA LUMPUR: A letter claiming Cabinet approval for a proposed Private Financing Initiative (PFI) project to widen the the North-South Expressway (PLUS) is fake, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said today.
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has filed a police report in response to a forged letter purporting Cabinet endorsement for a private financing scheme to expand the North-South Expressway (PLUS). The letter, dated July 17, 2026, falsely claimed approval from the Cabinet and alleged misuse of the Prime Minister's name and the PMO's official identity.
The PMO clarified that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim did not issue or sign the letter and condemned any association with the document. The public is urged to avoid sharing or disseminating the forged letter. Appropriate legal action will be pursued against those involved.
