Kuala lumpur: Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) has called on the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to launch an immediate investigation into allegations of foreign funding aimed at influencing domestic political narratives.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, AMK chief Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim emphasized the need for an independent and thorough investigation that transcends political affiliations. He advocated for the inclusion of Bank Negara Malaysia and other security agencies in the probe. He underscored that principles of freedom and democracy should not serve as a pretext for the misuse of foreign funds in political activities that pose risks to national security and sovereignty.
AMK expressed serious concerns over recent reports suggesting that foreign funding has been directed to politicians, individuals, and certain organizations. These funds are allegedly used to fuel political propaganda, cyber operations, and street provocations under the guise of promoting democracy and human rights. AMK insists that any group receiving and misusing such funds to manipulate domestic political narratives must undergo a thorough and transparent investigation.
Muhammad Kamil further urged for vigorous enforcement utilizing existing legal frameworks, such as the Penal Code, the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLA), and the Societies Act 1966, should there be evidence of security threats or money laundering activities.
In light of global economic challenges, he stressed the necessity for political stability and robust institutional trust in Malaysia. He warned that if these allegations hold true, it could be perilous as Malaysia must not become a testing ground for foreign geopolitical interests through local proxies.
Muhammad Kamil also highlighted the public's right to a detailed explanation and insisted on immediate enforcement actions to affirm that the nation's sovereignty remains inviolable. He claimed that financial transactions involving a US-based organization and a local company have occurred, totaling more than RM1.5 million.
