PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang has claimed that the United States once offered support to bring down a Malaysian government, according to statements made during discussions of past diplomatic encounters.
Hadi said the alleged approach took place during a meeting held at the US Embassy, occurring around the time of a visit to Malaysia by then-President Barack Obama. The PAS leader's assertion raises questions about the nature of diplomatic discussions that may have occurred during that period.
The claim has not been independently verified and represents Hadi's account of past diplomatic interactions. The timing and specific details of the alleged offer remain unclear from available reports.
The assertion adds to ongoing discussions in Malaysia about foreign influence and diplomatic relations with the United States. Such claims reflect broader debates within Malaysian politics regarding international engagement and sovereignty.
Neither the US Embassy in Malaysia nor other relevant authorities have commented on Hadi's allegations at this time.
