Anwar Ibrahim has since been asked to appear at the office of the Classified Criminal Investigation Unit (USJT), Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (JSJ) tomorrow (16 October).
Bukit Aman JSJ director Datuk Huzir Mohamed urges the public not to make, publish or distribute any statements, rumours and news that have a tendency to create an atmosphere of disharmony, reported Berita Harian.
“It is also to avoid divisions and hostilities that could threaten public order and security,” he said.
On 13 October, Anwar Ibrahim met with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to present documentation of majority support.
He said in a media conference on the same day that he hopes that in two to three days, the Agong will call all party leaders for another meeting.
However, Istana Negara released a statement on the same day stating that Anwar Ibrahim “submitted the number of members from Dewan Rakyat who have supported him. However, he did not submit a list of the members’ names to back up these allegations.”
