  "account": "PAS President Hadi Awang is set to be called for further investigation into allegations that the United States (US) offered his party assistance in ousting the Barisan Nasional (BN) government in 2014, according to the head of the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department, M Kumar. The investigation is being conducted under Section 505(b) of the Sedition Act and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which relate to making false statements that could incite public disorder and the misuse of communication facilities, respectively. At least 12 reports and 12 witness statements have been received, and the police are preparing to interrogate Hadi. The investigation is being carried out following Hadi's claim during the PAS Annual Muktamar 72 in Kota Bharu on Saturday that the US had offered support to PAS to bring down the BN government during former President Barack Obama's visit to Malaysia in 2014. Hadi reportedly said that some PAS leaders, including Takiyuddin Hassan and Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, had met with the US embassy, but claimed that both leaders were not influenced by the offer. However, the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur has refuted Hadi's claim, stating that the US never attempted to influence Malaysia's leadership.",
