  "account": "The police are set to interview PAS President Hadi Awang soon as they gather evidence for a case involving allegations made by Hadi that the United States (US) offered cooperation to his party, PAS, to topple the Barisan Nasional (BN) government in 2014. M Kumar, the Head of the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (JSJ), stated that Hadi will be called in the near future to complete the investigation. Up to now, the police have received 12 reports related to the accusation and have recorded statements from 12 witnesses. The investigation is being conducted under Section 505(b) of the Offences Against the State Act and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which relate to making false statements that could lead to public disorder, and the improper use of telecommunications facilities or services, respectively. Kumar advised the public not to speculate in any way that could interfere with the investigation. During the 72nd Annual PAS Congress in Kota Bharu on Saturday, Hadi claimed that the US had offered assistance to PAS to bring down the BN government during former President Barack Obama's visit to Malaysia in 2014. He reportedly said that some PAS leaders, including Takiyuddin Hassan and Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, had met with the US Embassy, but Hadi claimed that both of them were unaffected by the offer. However, the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur denied the allegation, stating that the US never attempted to determine the leadership of Malaysia.",
