  "account": "PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's assertion that US embassy officials offered assistance to topple the Malaysian government in 2014 is not a casual allegation but a grave claim concerning national security, according to Jelutong MP RSN Rayer. The US government should take legal action against Awang over his claim, Rayer stated in a Facebook post, asserting that a mere diplomatic denial by the US embassy is insufficient. Rayer emphasized that if Hadi's allegations are true, Washington must address serious questions regarding the alleged interference in Malaysia's internal political affairs. Earlier, US chargé d'affaires David Gamble had denied that the United States sought to determine Malaysia's political leadership.",
  "summary": "RSN Rayer says a diplomatic denial was not enough if there was no truth to the claim of an offer to bring down the Malaysian government in 2014.",
