Jelutong Member of Parliament Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah Raja Ahmad has demanded a formal investigation into claims made by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang regarding foreign intervention in Malaysian politics. Raja Kamarul Bahrin said the allegations, if true, constitute a grave threat to national security and should not be treated as a matter of pride or discussed at political conventions.
The Jelutong MP's statement comes after Hadi reportedly referenced overtures from unspecified foreign nations seeking to undermine the current government. Raja Kamarul Bahrin stressed that such allegations require immediate and thorough scrutiny by relevant authorities rather than public discourse at party gatherings.
He emphasised that national security concerns transcend partisan politics and must be addressed through proper institutional channels. The MP called on the government to take the matter seriously and conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine the veracity of Hadi's claims and identify any potential threats to Malaysian sovereignty.
The incident highlights ongoing tensions within Malaysia's political landscape, where allegations of external interference have periodically surfaced. Political analysts note that such claims, if substantiated, could have significant implications for Malaysia's domestic stability and international relations.
